Do people seriously not know what a freaking mammoth is?!

Crazy weak, considering how loud the Discuit advocates were at the time. Of course, mbin technically just adds to Lemmy, since they’re almost fully federated.

They’ve been temp banning various VPN IPs for a few years now, giving you a network error when you try to access reddit through the browser from a flagged IP. Although it’s been fine for the last couple weeks or so, but that might just be luck or the lack of me trying.

Ah, yeah. I couldn’t take much more than a bit over like 5 minutes.

Where the fuck would the water come from? Or go to if we run it backwards? And wouldn’t oceans be steadily falling instead of rising?

Voice cloning is still kinda early, especially in the open source area. Whatever you may find now or later (it’s a rapidly developing field), the first and most important step you should do is to digitalize the cassettes into actual audio files to prevent further degradation / loss. Make sure to back those files up too, preferably in the cloud I guess.

You should not need anything special to digitalize the tapes either. A simple cassette player with a 3.5mm audio output fed into your mic input on your computer and a recording software such as Tenacity should be enough (start recording on the program, then play the cassette).

Noooooooooooooooooo! D: I guess no more news articles for me now.

It’s certainly not a spiral thread, but individual rings, which aren’t even uniform enough if they were a thread of a bolt or a screw.

Because people don’t normally just remove all of their projects and accounts from one day to another.

What?

when beehaw famously defederated from lemmy.world ages ago, as well as sh.itjust.works

They’ve been defederated from lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear for much longer though.

while the admin of lemm.ee has said, controversially for some of their users I believe, that they don’t really understand all of the fuss over hexbear.

I guess that explains the heavy Tankie presence on that instance, which I’ve negatively noticed as well.

I’m not sure what your point here regarding Beehaw is though.

Meanwhile, lemmy.ml tries to stay widely federated AFAICT, and from what I’ve gathered, the admins have even gotten in hot water with their lefty users for not defederating from more right-wing-ish instances earlier, and then are often criticised for their active moderation on their own instance.

And here you lost me completely. What right-wing-ish instances are we talking about? Because I have yet to see anything that even mildly steers into that direction. And what moderation? Banning non far left positions and those who talk back against far left disinformation? Just look at their news sub and how much mod abuse & disinformation there is. Tankies can freely insult people and the mods do absolutely nothing. Correct disinformation and you get banned. If that’s an issue for the admins, then they could actually do something about it, since they literally own that instance.

and don’t like what they perceive to be a culture of demanding open source users (which I’ve come to understand over time actually).

“Demanding open source users” is a nice way of framing community demands negatively. lol

It’s not, and it is actually cheap-ish. The Ukraine war obviously pushed the prices quite a bit but it is still far cheaper than something like argan oil.

If that was real blood it would likely be brown at that point. Looks generally a bit weird though.

That just shows all posts though, or all posts posted to a certain community or whatever. I don’t think there’s a place where I specifically just see the posts of accounts or even whole networks that I follow, like the subscribed feed for threads.

It’s mostly fully compatible to Lemmy. The only minor thing I noticed is that Lemmy edits are not getting federated properly (maybe that’s fixed by now, I just noticed it in some threads in the past).

Federation issues of course can occur, but that can also happen with Lemmy, or activitypub in general. I’ve been pretty happy with it as I prefer the UI just way more.

I believe it’s probably more that it’s extremely difficult, and that developers facing the reality of the situation might come across as dismissive when responding to ideas and suggestions.

The problem is that them being on a political extremist side of things makes it incredibly hard to take their word for it and to take them at face value. The most trouble Lemmy communities are facing is coming exactly from the spaces that align not just with the devs views, but in case of Lemmy.ml and Lemmygrad even the ownership. So when more moderate lefty instances like Beehaw complain about the lack of moderation tools to handle the trolls from those places, it might just be that the devs are completely fine with what’s happening.

I don’t think you can really follow individual Mastodon (or even mbin / lemmy) accounts yet. At least not in a way where their posts will appear in your feed.

Just to be clear, mbin is not just another frontend but a completely different software (including the backend side of it). Like Lemmy it uses activitypub to communicate with Lemmy but also with Mastodon.

https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin There’s a few different instance lists at the bottom if you want to browse around and check the settings and stuff.

I remember he already had some beef with mbin so I’m unfortunately not too surprised by that. He wanted to stay in control but could not manage it alone either so ultimately it was an inevitable outcome.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but what I picked up by the Beehaw drama is that the Lemmy devs do not seem to be too interested in improving moderation support. I don’t know if this is politics related but I wouldn’t be surprised.
