Why doesn’t this meme also show how they’re doing it in prisons?

It actually seems like an interesting problem to solve. Instance runners have the sql database with all the voting record, finding manipulative instances seems a bit like a machine learning problem to me

Unfortunately this bonkers truth is so mundane at this point, I didn’t need to read passed “freedom”

Unfortunately they could just spin up a lemmy instance on some anonymous server somewhere and do that anyway. I don't want them in here, but they can certainly already pull the data up. To me that necessitates some form of anonymizing protocol, or even a form of shared encryption making it so you can't simply pull data in, you need to be invited or allowed into the federation.

Software engineer.. we also use all 16 digits of pi

The nice thing is we aren’t really “competing” so to speak. I definitely want lemmy to grow, but the community can be a .0001% chunk of the internet and I would be totally happy as long as it were a kind, useful, and fun chunk

I have neither the time, nor confidence to mod; but I have wondered if we should make something like a "lemmy wishlist" for communities we'd like to see ported. Seems like a good way for the lemmy community to vote on and discuss communities they'd like to see, and connect to would-be mods

I'm 5 years down the road and... Well let me tell ya, it gets worse

Everything is right about it:

• Lexographic sort
• Unambiguous months and days
• Acceptable on any document of record (lab, legal, medical, personal)
• Readable by nearly any culture (even us Americans)

Uses vim with arrow keys

I honestly wonder if that's the first instance of lemmy lore

Alright, I'm tossing my tiny hat into the sponsor ring. Thanks so much for putting this community together! I'm excited to see it grow. Just out of curiosity, what does the incremental cost look like? Does it scale well with users? Or does it explode a little bit?

Geez it's just so incredibly sad to me that facebook has survived this long and even THRIVED while probably being the worst version of what they do, and being the most evil doing it

This is the best take I’ve seen in this thread so far. It’s an issue of compelled speech, not of this or that demographic or ideology of the client or service. I’m not trying to dog whistle here, I hate that any business would exercise this in a hateful way, but another example of the reverse would be compelling a black-owned bakery to write an awful racist message on a cake. Obviously no person should be compelled to say what they don’t believe, regardless of the level of asshattery they dabble in.

Looks great! Thanks for doing this! I don't see anywhere here the approximate monthly costs.. only what the money is being spent on. Do you have a figure for how much goes into running this instance?

Idk if I would say that this is a fall... it more highlights lemmy's robustness imo

Whew I'm glad I just started up my jellyfin server!

I've got vote counts hidden in my UI so things don't feel dead for me, it also helps me resist group think to a varying extent

They probably don't need to make a whole platform to do this, though. Couldn't they just slurp the data right out of ActivityPub without making Threads? Either way, I'm dismayed that meta is managing to YET AGAIN convince people that this time they'll be good

Why is that the option, though? The majority of people who complain about the choices probably know who they'll vote for even if it's not a great choice, but how are these 3 the absolute best our country has to offer? Who's pulling the strings to force this choice down our throats?
