  • Don’t repost my comment onto github issue 317, I’ve commented there already.

    A tagging is something that would be very nice to have and I’m in full support of it. Anyways here are the parts that I’d like to see implemented:

    • Communities can have inbuilt tags that apply to every post
    • Users can add tags of their own to a post
    • There should be reasonable limits to how many tags can be placed and federate (I suggest 5 of each type)
    • Communities should optionally have a filter list of what tags are permitted to be assigned and anything outside of that is discarded from the post
    • Instances can maintain a list of “popular tags in the last day” etc. (a /trending page)
    • The endpoint for aggregating local, subscribed and Fediverse posts by tag is a big feature and should be prioritized. e.g. server.com/t/gaming
    • An endpoint for filtering posts by tag is desirable: server.com/c/community/t/discussion for example. This could be implemented similarly but separately as a flair, possibly.
    • Tags should be a separate field entirely to the post body if possible, otherwise they should exclusively be written at the end of the body, to avoid parts of the body text incorrectly picked up as a tag
    • An instance’s slur filter should apply to the tags
    • Users should have the option to not display tags
    • Backwards compatibility doesn’t have to be perfect but should be kept in mind (e.g. can the tagged and untagged versions of lemmy still federate, etc.)
    • How tags on Lemmy will federate and display on other ActivityPub servers is a consideration.

    I’ll add: I think having a limit on number of tags, not just the number displayed is important, to ensure people actually curate their topics correctly, it limits stupid tags like #lol that you’d see on tumblr and it prevents bots that tag everything with 100 tags from appearing everywhere.

    Many payment providers would want websites to implement CAPTCHA for blocking spam and fraud attempts.

    I’m sorry, but you’re just going to have to walk to a store and pay in cash if you don’t want to have any data tracking done at all. Online you’ll often have to pick one or the other: data tracking, or flimsy security/data protection. The phone solution is appropriate in my humble opinion, but you’re welcome to hold your own views on your principles. If you’re hard set against a company tracking ANYBODY via 3rd parties to that level, then I bet you will be very hard-pressed to ever find a computer through an online marketplace from ANY company that will fit that bill perfectly and suits your other needs.

    Since the correct mathematical answer isn’t one of the options, the people picking the other options are representing a real resistance to the order of mathematical logic that binds us.

    The real answer is 14 because I’m 14 and this is deep.
