I don't know if this is quite the same thing, but @kersploosh was waging a war on bot accounts. Maybe they have some inside or can come up with something in conjunction with the admins.
Edit: that's @kersploosh@sh.itjust.works in case the one here is someone else.
I don't know if it's the influence of Mr Rogers or just something that a lot of kids are born with, but I absolutely love seeing little model trains and their tiny little model towns. Little model Christmas villages are also really cool.
I do know what a tankie is, and why one would be against them, but I have never encountered so many people using the word. It's all over the place here. Why?
I was in the same position. I looked into it a little bit and my TL;DR version is that tankies are people who in general are apologists for the Russian and Chinese governments using fascistic and dictatorial measures. I'm guessing that more broadly speaking this could apply to supporting any government that uses violence against its own people, but it usually comes up in the context of those two countries.
Same here. I've just noticed this over the last 24 to 48 hours. And it seems to be worse on computer. Right now I've been browsing with Firefox on Android and it seems to be doing fine.
When I was a kid in the '70s and '80s I can remember the front grill and windshield of our car being absolutely plastered with bugs. I mean like power wash to get them off plastered. Today it's surprising if I have more than a handful of smudges on my windshield.
Let's be honest. Most of us have waited our entire lives for this moment. A hairy-breasted man with not one, not two, not three, but four nipples? And leg pigtails? If this is wrong, I don't want to be right.
I bring this up because it seems to once again be gaining traction in the zeitgeist: I cannot comprehend why UFO hunters put so much time and effort into trying to force governments to "reveal the truth about extraterrestrial contact", but I also cannot fathom how they think aliens even have a chance of successfully contacting...
David Tennant, of Dr Who fame, apparently said some pro trans things and now the TERFs are going after him on Twitter. His response is that he isn't worried because, and I quote, "I'll be fine, Terfs can't climb stairs"
I want that on a T-shirt. No, I NEED that on a T-shirt!
ETA: Apparently it was a parody account that said the stairs line. I still want it on a T-shirt.
Apparently one of the lemmy.ml admins was overzealous in banning all User-Agent strings that contained the word "bot". Bans were entered for all of the individual strings containing that word which were observed in their webserver logs, which impacted kbin's reported agent of "kbinBot"....
@ZILtoid1991 Next time you get a notification, long press on it and it will open app options. You can update your notification settings there -- turn them off, turn some off, change the sound, etc.
@TechConnectify I think it looks weird but actually makes more sense, because it flows the way you say it: two-hundred dollars, not dollars two-hundred. It also follows the same logic of 200%.
This spammer created multiple accounts on various Lemmy instances to post self advertisements. How do we combat this?

What is with all of the tankie talk on the Fediverse?
