(Defacto) Dictatorships don’t belong in the EU.

We have our hands full with Hungary, thanks.

And done. I love federation.

And a continent is just a really big island.

Therefore a continent is actually just a big mountain.

I’m gonna miss wefwef honestly, the name really grew on me.

I think this could be a ticking DOS time bomb.

Someone manages to spam upload massive files to the largest Lemmy instances could wipe out a ton of smaller ones.

Not to mention scalability wise this seems like a nightmare… eventually the largest Lemmy instances will have petabytes of media data with 100s of gbs coming in per day, giving other instances no chance to sync with them.

I think the system architecture needs a significant review. This won’t scale.

Unsuprising.

I was following this case all week and the FTC really embarrassed itself. If this injunction was granted it would have been even more s suprising than the CMA coming out of nowhere to block the acquisition.

Porn is literally what drives technology innovation.

Porn on Reddit was probably a good 10-20% of all it’s traffic.

As history has shown, a lot of the features that come to Lemmy will be added because porn. Embedded videos for example.

Let say you comment somewhere that you make minimum wage, their algorithm picks up on it and now they have you as a low wage earner in their database.

This is a massive over simplification but illustrates the point.

I hate shorts and I’ve unsubscribed from any channels that make shorts.

I don’t subscribe to you for a 30 second adhd friendly clickbait video. Major respect lost for some channels.

This article has been circulating around the fediverse and I think it greatly illustrates why it's so important to defederate from large corporations before they can get a foothold. It's about so much more than just them getting our data.

And as far as I can tell it’s just pictures right now.

I'm 100s of thousands behind all my peers who bought before the pandemic now because of this.

It's likely that I'll never catch up to them despite having a higher paying career.

I had to re-login on voyager, my account had mysteriously disappeared from the app this morning.

I do wish there was a way for admins to send a notification to people when they revoke login tokens to avoid confusion. This will almost certainly happen again at some point.

It won’t be like this forever, simply growing pains of a brand new rapidly growing platform.

I switched from my lemmy.world account to this one because I assumed this instance would defed from meta.

I noticed my hot feed on Lemmy.world is more up to date than on Lemmy.ca plus some other odd behaviour.

I read that to keep hot feed working well, instances need restarting every 6 hours or so.

How often do you guys restart?
