The Taliban were also a relatively lightly armed group of bandits who were not stopped by the US-equipped Afghan army at all because the people of Afghanistan actually wanted the Taliban back. That’s why I made the connection to your polling remark.
You mean the Taliban, right?
Yeah but that’s not because the majority of people wanted a dictator, it’s because they are gullible.
Trump’s platform was to become a dictator and he won the popular vote for that.
I don’t think the ideas of Lambalicious work with Lemmy. What would sending the domain name only achieve? I assume it uses the same logic as Lemmy uses to find crossposts? Obviously it needs the whole address then.
Maybe instead of crawling automatically, the users need to click a button to look up discussions? (I have yet to install your extension, so I have yet to experience the workflow myself, sorry.)
Maybe link to the privacy terms of the default instances? In general, I think your approach is good. You don’t collect any data, the feature is 100% opt-in. A central relay/proxy is even worse than your current approach. People are obviously free to set up their own Lemmy/Mastodon server if they want a relay.
And relying on a single volunteer to ship crucial security updates? Disabling the shitty FF features may be hidden in about:config but as long as this is possible, using upstream FF is still the most secure way to use a Gecko browser.
I think the post in itself is informational, many of the comments are not.
Post stays, comments get locked.
That GIF:
I really wish removing a president wasn’t so difficult.
You just need someone with better aim than the last guy who tried.
I agree with the sentiment but this here is not a complaints forum.
Please report that user and his communities to the admins of the instances he’s registered at. A quick look at the sidebars of both sh.itjust.works and lemm.ee would suggest that their admins banning him is a slam dunk.
Maybe ask at [email protected] and [email protected] what to do?
On the grounds of !fediverse not being a complaints forum, I’m going to lock this post.
Didn’t a recent lemmy update start stripping those out automatically?
Maybe. My home server is still on 0.19.3 because reasons: https://lemmy.world/post/23471887
Personally, I think that the new features outweigh the regressions but I’m not going to jump instances all the time.
Also: By using the plain YouTube link (without “?si=” etc. parameters), you can see crossposts and duplicates.
If the BlueSky protocol offers tangible benefits over ActivityPub, the BlueSky protocol could become the basis for ActivityPub 2.0. I don’t know much about the details, though.
Lemmy.world has kind of awful moderation, which means people who are trolls or bad actors have lived here for a very long time despite multiple reports.
Maybe people shouldn’t overflow the moderation pipe with reports then just because posts are idiotic. There’s the downvote button for that. I’m just a guy with a full-time job and personal life who on occasion may get ill with a cold or so. So when I log onto Lemmy on PC and I see a dozen of reports having popped up about posts being reported as being “in bad faith”, posts that may be genuinely idiotic but not containing any personal attacks / racism /…, I’m already checking out. Not every idiotic posts needs moderator intervention. Sometimes a minus 25 score is enough. So when there are a dozen of reports about merely idiotic posts, I might miss a genuinely intervention-worthy one.
Bro what
No presentation slides or any meaningful content, just a photo of himself. Borders on self-promotion rather than actual Fediverse-related content.
So you posted a photo of yourself?
Meanwhile Lemmy World still on 0.19.3… 🥶
For decades scales worked just fine without any electricity. Maybe get one of those.
What’s her cut of that?
I don’t know, you made the comment that she’s “making ludicrously little from spotify”, so you should know.
Also, nobody should care because: “Allen’s most recent album, No Shame, dropped in 2018.” Those are royalties for doing no work since then. She got paid handsomely by the record company for the distribution rights. She gets paid handsomely whenever she’s on concert. Ongoing royalties are a BS concept.
Too many floridamen anyway
