He would be the perfect person to AMA as he’s already associated with Reddit revolts, and it would result in tremendous media coverage and mark fediverse as a viable alternative to Reddit. What do you think?
With all these new bot instances popping up, have you already seen these accounts actually raiding stuff? And can/do we defederate from those instances?
As a long time Reddit user, there's something about Lemmy and the fediverse that feels really refreshing and new. I think it has to do with a few things......
Cargo e-bikes are catching on and could curb U.S. car emissions. Canary Media took a test ride to learn more about this emerging form of transportation.
I barely drive at all anymore, love my bike! That might change come winter, but for now I ride waaay more than I drive and have saved a ton on gas. Plus, it's way more fun than driving.
I put about 450 miles on my bike in the last couple of months and maybe 20 on my car. A lot of that isn't even out of necessity, I'm just riding for fun and exploring. Sometimes it's even faster than driving because I don't have to worry about using roads.
If you ran Lemmy or kbin locally as a single user instance with no hosted communities and it was not live all of the time would you miss a lot pushed data? Would this data be pulled later? Would this cause de-federation?
I have a though dilemma. I got a date for a wisdom teeth surgery but It's one day before a concert. Could something bad happen if I attend both? I will only drink water on the concert.
I don't know if you've noticed this, but threads or comments about Lemmy or the Fediverse get downvoted a lot on Reddit and trolls who claim that it's "dogshit" and "not going anywhere" get systematically upvoted....
There's definitely corpo sockpuppets and bots involved, some of which have even straight up posted AI bot warnings about not being able to generate offensive content (oops!) but there's plenty of ignorant people too.
That said, I'm kind of OK with them staying on reddit because people like that had been making reddit progressively worse for years and years at it gained popularity. Hopefully the relative obscurity of Lemmy will prevent that from happening for a while yet.
Like many of you, I woke up this morning to discover that our instance, along with lemmy.world, had been unexpectedly added to the beehaw block list. Although this development initially caught me off guard, the administrators at beehaw made an announcement shedding light on their decision....
Lemmy & Kbin - Spite sites (lemmy.world)
Whaf do you think of hosting an AMA with John Oliver to make Lemmy/kbin officially a viable Reddit replacement?

I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack?
Please don't ask why I need this....

How long is too long?
At what point do y'all decide not to comment on a thread? Is 1 week+ too ’old’?

Could you run a Kbin or Lemmy instance that was not live all of the time and not break federation
