This kind of thing is why digital privacy is so important. But everyone is like “i have nothing to hide from the government”

Yeah the $ implies the word dollar, in this case becoming “239 billion dollars”

The best programmers are, 80/20 is life

I’m coming around to agreeing with you. But I feel like if I try to clarify and really understand I may end up offending someone. It’s hard to have these kinds of conversations online, with people who don’t know you or your intent.

I may be an imperfect ally, but I’m honestly trying.

The issue was the use of a specific word, that is now uncouth, but with which OP identifies. They claim to not know the word had fallen out of favor. Other than the word itself, I don’t think there was anything wrong with the comment they left.

Agree that it’s not much of a reason to avoid a piece of software. If anything an instance.

I think the misunderstanding is coming from me going with the wikipedia & cloudflare definition of DoS attack, which includes intent. Image

And, in my opinion “the point is to screw with their bandwidth and their servers” sounds like you are intending to cause disruption (presumably by being part of a larger group of users doing the same thing), you might even call it a DDoS.

It’s just kinda sounded like you’re trying to deny service of their bandwidth and servers.

To your DoS statement, can you clarify by explaining what you are attempting to do with these uploads?

Why did you get banned? Did you post them to /r/Noise ?
You can’t just DoS their servers like that, but feel free to contribute noise to the appropriate sub.

Funny, but for real, we didn’t fish them out. They were there one year, and gone the next. Thoughts are they migrated somewhere deeper due to changing water temperatures.

Also, I can see this at https://lemmy.ml/post/1167451

where its a reddit-style post with the title “@asklemmy”. While on kbin.social it appears more like a twitter post, no title.

@Starfish

Appears that microblog is referring to mastodon content (twitter-like fediverse program). kbin seems to put relevant (unknown mechanism) mastodon content under the microblog tab of a “magazine” (subreddit analog)

@fox

I can see it on kbin.social when browsing asklemmy@lemmy.ml, it displays on the "microblog’ tab.
I think kbin works for this better than lemmy.

So, I think Kbin and Lemmy are separate pieces of software operating on the fediverse. But since they speak the same language you can interact cross platform. Interestingly, seems that kbin supports even more fediverse platforms than lemmy. I’ve been able to use kbin to follow mastadon users.
