Shills, activists, trolls, state actors, and advertisers follow the eyeballs. They don’t give a crap if it is on the fediverse or some other platform.
If the fediverse capabilities can’t evolve to provide controls, then it’s doomed to failure. It’s already bad enough that bot accounts will create a new community then spam the crap out of it to appear on the “hot” view. Expect this to be turbocharged as the US enters another election cycle.
This just isn’t true. The vast majority of the movie is people talking in rooms. There is nothing really added by the big screen. I wish I had just waited to stream it.
Yep, just the latest pump and dump shitcoin. This is why mods need bots to remove the shitcoin spam.
Come live in Sudden Allah. Where our treason is as light as our use of concrete.
I don’t know the answer, so I’ll just post this screed from the terrible film “Psychos in Love”.
I hate grapes! I can’t stand grapes! I loathe grapes! All kinds of grapes! I hate purple grapes! I hate green grapes! I hate grapes with seeds! I hate grapes without seeds! I hate them peeled and non-peeled! I hate grapes in bunches, one at a time, or in groups of twos and threes! I fucking hate grapes!
I would prefer regex blocking, as there are categories of communities that I am not interested in seeing regardless of which instance they are on. It is annoying to have to continually block them because someone setup a new instance and created the same community again.
Because a lot of people who “left Reddit” can’t STFU about Reddit.
Kreiswichs showing up in a big spot.
Just wait until the t-shirt/mug scammers show up with their post bots. Then people will understand why mod helper bots are needed.
It’s understandable as the religious people also migrate away from Reddit. The fediverse cuts down their stupid “equal time for dissent” argument. The fediverse explicitly enables them to fuck off and start their own instance where they can put up their own rules and federate with whoever they want.
I’m with world on this one. Punch the damn nazis in their faces. No false arguments about tolerance here.
The whole point of the fediverse is choice. Religious groups can create their own instances and put in rules that reflect their values. They can federate or defederate from other instances based on their desires.
What you don’t get to do is say “Hey, I want to present my views that are antithetical to your community because you are a popular instance”.
I don’t think anyone is arguing against dual DNS servers. The distinction being made is that a second DNS server is not a fallback. Most newbies think “secondary” means it will only be used when the primary is unavailable. That’s not true. A client is just as likely to use a secondary DNS as a primary. If only one DNS uses pihole, then the secondary will serve ads because it’s just calling the upstream DNS resolver.
Personally, I accomplished what OP is talking about with two rPis. First serves DCHP from 192.168.1.10 to .100, second serves .101 to .250. I send the two piholes as primary and secondary DNS. I also use Unbound as the upstream, but that is just personal preference.
Woot! On official.
Nice. I’ve been trying all the TestFlight apps and Memmy is my favorite. Going to download the official app now.
The official app is a horrible user experience, but the bigger issue is that most of the content is fake. Between commercial shills, political activists, social-media marketing groups hired to “increase engagement”, and various other bad actors, the site is no longer useful or differentiated. The only places that seem unaffected are smaller private subs.
I don’t know how the fediverse will prevent the same thing happening. The bad actors are just going to follow the eyeballs. They don’t care which platform is used to host their actions. There was already an instance of a group of new kbin accounts being used to mass upvote topics to appear in the hot feed here.
The shills don’t care about the platform, only that their actions are seen by human eyeballs. They will gladly burn accounts on every post because they use bots to create them by the hundreds of thousands.
It’s what ultimately killed Reddit for me. I am hoping a Lemmy won’t go down the same path.
Good post. Any idea how Lemmy or the fediverse will prevent the systematic astroturfing that social media marketing, political activists, commercial shills, and others will engage in? They are just going to follow the users from Reddit to here and keep up their antics.
When a lot of Reddit users stopped for the blackout, it became really eye opening how most of Reddit is just a wasteland of fake accounts posting, mass up/downvoting, and posting anything to keep you engaged on the site.
I was hoping to see something in Lemmy that would prevent this, but I just don’t. So I expect the enshitification to happen here too unless something is done to prevent it.
And the logo is a scorpion for some reason?
