For the icon: How about a Satisfied Seal? Because when sh.itjust.works, you know that feel!

Yeah, full agree. So far I've only had to block a few communities to get the loli to stop popping up on all, but a rogue instance could really start to spam people with pretty horrible stuff. That's what defederation is for, it seems, but there needs to be some rules in place for when the instance ban-hammer gets called upon.

It would be very nice if clients like Jerboa allowed users to choose to ban/filter specific instances for themselves without affecting everyone else, though.

Here’s a link to the SVG of the Satisfied Seal so you can tweak as needed. I’ll also post the link in the comment thread. Glad people seem to like it!

Let me know if you want me to tweak the design any and I can send an SVG as well. No copyright/usage restrictions - free to use or modify as you wish.

Whenever I'm grinding through some beaureacracy : "it's all about the filin'!"

Not the worst song and dance number.

Glad people seem to like it! Happy to create some neat content to help kick start the network effect we'll need to make Lemmy really start to ... mlem?

Here's a link to the SVG if anyone needs it:

Maybe something that captures the energy with which this seal is 'debating' something with this dog?

But do it up vector graphic style, but as a scene similar to (but less nightmare-inducing than) Dall-E's effort here?

farnsworth voice Oh my!

Those pottery seals are just so. happy. to be here today! Now I want a real one...

Too real, man - the streamlined version from @annegreen fully captures the essence of the thing, while also suggesting to the observer 'MS Paint FTW'

Examples of ideas we most likely won't do:

Here's decentraland's agora: https://agora.decentraland.org/ And of course, there's a blockchain for that! https://www.agora.vote/technology

But more seriously:

Voting is a tough problem to solve. How do you avoid spam/bots unless the votes are tied to users in some way? Also, how to handle exactly-one-vote-per-user-per-poll? How do you handle the equivalent of ostracising bad actors from the process (maybe not as extreme as the OG-way of banishment for 10 years, though: https://www.greece-is.com/understanding-the-agora)?

Maybe some system that involves (some service or the mods?) privately pushing out (via DM?) a one-time-use code (UUID?) for casting a vote in a poll once it's got enough weight to be put to a vote? OTP SurveyMonkey? Is there some way to prevent back-tracing of the vote-codes/tokens to individuals? If someone becomes a problem, then I guess they just stop getting vote-codes pushed to them. Slippery slope, etc. etc., though.

Aye

The top-left of the 4-up is pretty good, but the top-right looks like the cover of the VHS tape for an all-aquatic-mammal remake of a kung fu movie :) The one with many seals would be spot-on, but why did the AI make it look like they're crying? Nice one for trying some stuff out. Guess we'll see if anything sticks!

Either way, one or the otter.
