These were a bit difficult to answer, cause i dont know exactly what youre after - precise examples such as given in question 1 would be helpful. I could be way off base on what you were asking about in your questions.

In general i think you might want to look into image based programming if you havent already (e.g. smalltalk systems, lisp machines, etc.) as many of these provide language server esq connections to their editor. Of note is interlisp-d with its structural editor, which if i remember right edits the source code data structures in memory.

Regarding Q1: this workflow has been implemented in various languages for a long time. The one i am most familiar with is the swank/slynk server for CL. If i remember right it opens up its own thread to process everything, and communicates on a specific port.

Regarding Q2: perhaps im misunderstanding or just forcing my own perceptions onto the question, but this seems to be more an issue of session management within the LSP client; assuming communication over a specific port, its more about the client figuring out which commands to send to which port.

Regarding Q3: im probably misunderstanding this one, because it seems like a duplicate of question 2 with some extra requirements

Regarding Q4: this can also be done. For loading from markup see literate programming (theres a CL system for loading systems from org files called literate-lisp). For loading from the internet and databases, im unsure what you mean; whether source code or byte code or machine code or what have you its all just ordered information, which can be grabbed from its storage location with the right tools (web client, db bindings, etc).

Hopefully all that was helpful :)

Until thats done, i think that could be done with an automoderator. E.g. iff a post title begins with [ONLYLOCAL] then trawl the comments every n minutes and remove all comments from nonlocal users. Maybe it would fall apart at scale? But im not sure. It would certainly be more performant as part of the software itself, but i do think its possible with an automod.

I dont think they defederated; i still see hexbear in the linked instances section. You can see it at the bottom of the page in the browser if you click the ‘instances’ link.

I never really considered that. Idk it just doesnt feel like harassment? Like i know how dumb that sounds; if it was someone else i would say yeah, its harassment, but since its me its somehow not harassment (i know, ive got some stellar logic at work in my brain😅).

But thank for framing it that way, i never considered it. I think i need to marinate in this framing for a bit.

Unfortunately its a very small area of volunteer work - we are running a weekly event for students at the local student house, and theres only 3 of us doing this. I could volunteer doing different things but then i lose the fun of holding this event. I appreciate the idea but my goal is to try and address in an interpersonal manner. I could certainly stand to be more assertive, but thats easier said than done 😅

I feel like this is something where you, the admins, take priority. While i havent noticed much hate or spam from kbin.social (aside from random), if it is making enough impact that the admins dont have the resources (either time wise, emotion wise, or what have you) to do other admin things then i support you in defederating. Of course, i prefer to stay federated, but because you and the other admins and mods are doing the heavy lifting here i think your thoughts and feelings on this matter take priority.

Asos has stuff for tall folks. You can sort by waist/length. They also carry larger shoes. Im npt sure what a 15 is but they carry some stuff up into the mid 40s. I got a pair of 44 wide boots that fit well, though their not the most durable.

I think its a good idea. Blåhaj-specific decisions should be blåhaj only. Perhaps have some sort of tag that can be added to a post that opens it up to all instances in case an issue is blåhaj specific but impacts other instances as well.

Im curious, is there any sort of automod functionality for lemmy? If so id imagine it would be easy to check the instance a user belongs to and if its not blåhaj respond with a generic message and remove the comment.

Edit: or perhaps turn it on its head and have a tag saying a post is for blåhaj internal discussion only, with the default being an open-for-all space?

Another edit: i found a bot¹ that fully implements the lemmy api, which ostensibly means it could be used as an automod. Its not server-side, so it has to operate as a normal user.

Beehaw.org just defererated lemmy.world and shitjustworks, because of the open signups policy (as opposed to the waist high fence of a few paragraphs explaining why you’re not an asshole)

To my understanding, Beehaw defederated with those instances due to an ongoing harrasment campaign by a few of their users. The open signups were not the reason they defederated, but rather a factor enabling the harrasment; the user(s) would be banned from beehaw, and inmediately make an additional account to continue harrassment. Beehaw has been pretty open about the how and why of defederation, and to my knowledge theyve been working with the admins of shitworks to get to a place where refederating is possible.

I think goblincore is fairly different from the traditionall antisemitic goblins.
