That's why I keep saying it's pointless to defederate corpos. They'll just scrape everything before you notice.

So far we only have a corpo fedi-twitter in form of Threads. In that case non-corpo instance user has to specifically follow someone before their content is federated so that sounds like a bit overblown issue.

There's no real harm in that unless they spam, at which point those accounts can be banned which shouldn't overwhelm moderators.

You really need to create an account and do some regular activity for a reasonable amount of time rather than doing this over and over.

I don't even know which bot specifically we're talking about because I block them all.

That was my assumption but I was providing rationale for the vote. It's easy enough to block bots and there's not that many overall.

I've been enjoying it a lot, especially moving from music videos to YouTube videos. I wonder if people are confused because they didn't watch the movie that explains why Beavis & Butthead are in the present time and what's up with old and space versions of B&B. I thought it was quite clever.

Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy's massive tankie censorship problem. A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml. It's been well known for a while that the admins/mods of that instance have, let's say, rather extremist and onesided political views. In short, they're what's colloquially referred to as...

I was among reddit refugees a year ago and it took me a moment to notice what was going on ml and their communities were more significant in comparison to what we have today.

One of the reasons I'm on sopuli.xyz now is that it was one of the first reasonably big instances to defederate hexbear outright. Hesitance and outright hostility to defederate it from some instance admins was also worrying.

Personally I'm partial to free pizza.

My gf wanted to watch all of Mad Max after we've seen Fallout. I was entirely unaware of 1979 movie and thought Road Warrior was the first one. My impressions are that it sucked.

I see you got bored of the dystopia.

I'm here for the pretty art so I was happy to recognize some of those comics at all. Thank you for this though, I really enjoyed it.

Google and Microsoft are important here. They both manufacture AI chips and sell compute via Cloud and Azure. I'm surprised Amazon is not onboard but this might be enough.

I encourage everyone considering sending the invite to review OP's comment history. I was about to share one but yikes.

I expect to be held liable for people I invite to other people's places, therefore I don't invite randos or people that have proven to have little regard for others.

It might be just a little bit more shitty to be laid off and have finances jeopardized than to fire someone. I don't know the market you're in but I'd never stoop so low to come back to a place that laid me off earlier, I'd really have to be desperate.

Lemmy now is in many ways already the same as reddit is today when you consider social dynamics. This is mostly due to how all of social media using traditional formulas devolved into competition in unproductive cynicism.

Check out Tildes if you want to see how reddit was back then, it's the closest thing.
