Yep, nsfw means no ads.

Also set it so a mod has to approve every post before it shows.

That way the sub is technically up and they can't take it or make money off it.

What impact?

As long as you dont go on lemmy.world, it's not going to redirect you to all the stupid websites.

And I doubt whatever they're posting (if they're posting anything) is getting upvoted, so you won't see it anywhere else.

And where are you getting "malware" from?

People are acting like it's some crazy hack, and not the 4chan rejects from exploding heads finally guessing an admins password a week after they got defederated. And after all that time chasing the mailman, they had no idea what to do when they guessed it

But this does highlight an issue with instances. I doubt the handful of admins know each other. Like, maybe an email, but for the most part if shit like this happens during "off hours" it might be a while before the top admin even knows there's an issue

Making up new rules everytime there's a new protest won't work

People will just come up with new inventive ways to fuck reddit over, and everytime reddit makes a new rule up, they'll be articles like this giving the protest free press and making reddit look like jackasses

Everytime I see posts like this, it's hard not to think OP isn't just trolling or are just also bigoted and that's why they don't see an issue with it...

Maybe your problem is you just keep asking social media users instead of reading one of the many, many articles outlining it.

She might not openly say bigoted things, but it's pretty obvious she holds bigoted views. Like, someone can be bigoted even if they don't admit it.

I boil mine because I like the way it tastes–it’s sweeter

That's actually a really bad sign...

The most likely thing to make water taste sweet is lead, and heating up water with lead makes it even sweeter.

And that's 100% a problem you need to look out for in America.

Pretty sure they're out of air by now.

Even if they made it to the surface, you can't open it from the inside. There's no rescue mission, just recovery

but I don’t think people realise how bad it’s become.

One time I made a main level comment, then replied to one of the most upvote comments in the same thread.

Seconds later a bit replied to me with my first reply, except for some reason it cut off the end. I don't know if the bot ran out of characters because it was a cheap bot, or if it was an attempt to avoid automated detection.

Bots were a huge problem long before AI started trying to have conversations.

We all joked about it, but a lot of the accounts were really fake, and they usually got sold to advertisers after amassing enough karma and post history to look authentic

And how many people answer that on Sunday night?

What I'm getting at is a major website has at least a skeleton staff that can do something, even if that's just pulling the plug.

I don't even reply to most work texts after hours unless it's someone saying they have to use sick leave. I don't expect people hosting Lemmy as a hobby to be on call 24/7.

But I hope afterwards they're transparent about what happened and how they're going to stop it from happening again. If not, it's easy to hop instances

They sold to Conde Nast, a giant media conglomerate.

Conde transferred ownership one level up the food chain. So the people in charge aren't used to any kind of media, let alone social media.

Yep.

The first thing they taught us in my graduate level statistics class was:

Anyone can make a statistic that backs up their bias. You're here to learn how to accurately represent a situation with statistics, and be able to point out when others are misusing statistics

That's the hard part

Because "funding other people's wars" is better than waiting a couple years till it's our war too...

Did you forget about WW2?

There's a shit ton of upvote bots and subs had free gold to give out all the time.

Admins like it because it looks good to advertisers and idiots think buying gold is normalized

Mods like it because it boosts sub visibility and got more subscribers

And some users chase karma so theyre onboard too.

There wasn't much authentic about reddit

Even if they do, every article about Twitter comes with:

Twitter responded to inquiries with the poop emoji, as they do every time.

This is worse, because reddit is saying if anything was wrong, they would have responded. So it looks like reddit just agrees with anything that doesn't get a response.

It's the result of Prosperity Jesus.

They believe they're wealthy because they have natural talent. It ignores lots of people are more talented, and never got the same opportunities to be successful.

In a real apocalyptic disaster, they'd be the ones real leaders sentence to death (either overt or shunning them from the group) to set an example for the rest of the group.

70% you need to be running dehumidifiers...

It's not just mold that's an issue, it can cause structural damage.

The ADL isn't perfect, but it's better than mint press...

The good news is it's not something that really changes.

Just test your home once, it's not like you need to constantly monitor it.

Reddit does it with Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Tumblr...

Some of the bigger communities is literally just screenshots of what people say other places.

It would be pretty funny to see an instance that just pulls posts from subs and posts them to Lemmy. Not direct links to reddit, just copy the link/pic/video

How funny would it be if it leads to a shit show where actual journalists start demanding their fair share of advertising generated off their articles?

Reddit can beat mods because of money, but these giant media conglomerates both have money and are hurting their own advertising numbers because 99% of redditors never read the article. They have motivation and opportunity to get legal

You can call an HVAC specialist and get something more permanent, but you need to do something ASAP.

But you can absolutely get one with a drainage tube and run it 24/7 tho. Lots of people in older houses in America do it.
