Well, if anyone has a chance in the failing fascist hellhole state of Florida, it’s an old white Republican man with a criminal history.

Cheating is simply a losing arms race. Client side monitoring may be a deterrent for the lazy cheater but it won’t be enough to stop them. Only thing I see actually being viable is server-side machine learning to detect and monitor anomalies and suspicious behavior. (I don’t know much about this in actual practice and this is just some wild speculation)

Its been one day without Reddit

& I’m doing pretty good! The wefwef app has done a great job of recreating the Apollo experience and has made it a lot easier to not want to go and download the Reddit app. The more active it gets here, the easier it’ll be. How are you guys doing so far? Have you found an App for Lemmy that you prefer the most yet?

sudo,

I’ve found myself actually reading articles since I can’t go in and just read someone else’s synopsis of the content, which frankly is a good thing. I can get my own information and form my own opinions, Reddit just let me be lazy but it’s a nice change.

As for engagement, just be the change your wish to see, and engagement will follow. I think there is still some fine tuning to be done in terms of the sorting algorithms as well, which would ideally get day old content out and active but fresh content in. A lot of dust left to settle with the great migration underway.

Or the beginning of the new new Internet

sudo,

lol I have to imagine a lot of the people active in Apple are pretty used to eating corporate overlord’s assholes so that doesn’t really come as a surprise…

sudo,

A link to Lemmy would have been good.

sudo,

Uninstalled last night :'( but glad to hear that was added!

Unless he’s too busy fondling himself in front of young women

If you care about your account and your post history, you’re free to run you own instance. People are also working on mechanisms to sync community subscriptions between accounts, which would at least help the UX navigating multiple accounts. Lemmy also has an API that I’m sure users will be looking to create services to backup your content as well, if something like that doesn’t already exist.

As for defederation, I’m only aware of these major reasons and all of them are legitimate:

  • Nazis
  • NSFL/CP
  • Sourcing illegal content (illegal from the defederating hosts side, and this really lends to the above two as well)
  • Growing pains as Lemmy explodes with new users

The only thing a giant corporation could do is muddy the waters, but people who care about the future of Lemmy are working to prevent that wedistribute.org/2023/06/fedipact-blocking-meta/

Can <insert basically any corporation> not try to fuck people over for 5 minutes?

Ah, yes, the feature to update the operating system that is by default enabled but is able to be disabled completely.

If a *nix user can’t figure out how to disable automatic updates, it’s on them.

sudo,

“Dumb users have their system updated to protect them from themselves” is what I’m getting out of your comment, and frankly I think that’s a good thing.

sudo,

The entire premise of NSFW is silly to me. Like no one has an obligation to make sure YOU are safely browsing at work. Get back to work.

I think you’re taking the W in NSFW too literally. It’s a user-moderated content filtering system. Be it at work, school, on a bus, in the streets, many people wish to be considerate of others and don’t want to publicly flaunt questionable material.

It may be to protect others from having to view it or to protect themselves from repercussion viewing explicit content in professional environments.

There’s also a difference between some text with ‘bad words’ and having hardcore porn or beheadings (NSFL) or whatever. Is there a grey area? Of course, different people will consider different things appropriate, especially in different settings and different cultures, but giving users the ability to flag content they post as ‘potentially questionable’ (synonymous to NSFW from my perspective) is just a means to respect other users.

Reddit plagued with 1-star App Store reviews over API debacle as users search for 0-star button (9to5mac.com)

Despite site-stopping protests by mods and users, Reddit leadership chose to brute force its way through any reasonable way of continuing third-party app support. Instead, the company hopes its luxury-priced API will be its secret shortcut to an overvalued IPO. As a result, Reddit’s official iOS app is being torpedo’d in the...

While I appreciate people putting effort to make it work, fuck the leadership and fuck the platform. They don’t deserve our business, full stop.

"Bidenomics" - Biden's vision for economic growth 'from the middle out and bottom up' aims to move beyond 'trickle down' economics (www.nbcnews.com)

President Joe Biden will tout his economic agenda in remarks Wednesday as he campaigns for a second term amid low polling numbers on his job performance and the direction of the country....

sudo,

For those unfamiliar with middle out

sudo,

I’d have to imagine bottoms up will reduce the MJT. Being trickled down on may increase MJT for some but drastically reduce it for others.

sudo,

While I disagree with your opinion on admins, I appreciate the sentiment. But if you want to be on an instance that isn’t defederated or view any content, run you own instance.

That said, the ability for users to moderate the content they see on their own profile could definitely use more flexibility. The ability to block communities as a user is good, but they should absolutely also be able to block instances on their own. Beyond that, the ability to filter out content based on keywords (title, content, urls) would also be a nice addition.

Coming from RiF on Android, the app had filtering and let me say, being able to block Elon, Kanye, Meta, TikTok, a bunch of shit spewing fascists, etc made my Reddit viewing experience much better. This was, of course, after already leaving all of the default subs and finding niche communities but for some reason people had a hard-on for those topics and I could literally not care any less about them.

sudo,

How old were you the year before that though?

sudo,

This is what we get for letting Reddit become the default centralized resource for, well, everything.

It takes effort to host, moderate, and organize, but communities should make efforts to publish wikis with their valuable resources and information.

sudo,

I’ve been actively purging my account since then but new comments and posts that weren’t appearing before continue to show up, as recently as a post appearing last night. Will be waiting for my GDPR request to be processed, ensuring everything is deleted, then submitting another just to waste their time to finally delete the account.

But yeah not using the platform. It’s run its course. It was definitely not the same since 2016 election/Cambridge analytica/Russian bot brigading. Took leaving to realize how polarized and rage filled it was, even after leaving all of the default subs and finding niche communities.

sudo,

GTFO with your both parties are the same bullshit.

Is capitalism and the elite ruling class controlling our society? In a lot of ways, yes. Do the Democratic Party leaders do bad things? Sure.

But the Republican party is actively engaged in taking away people’s rights and freedoms. They prop up unabashed fascists.

Both parties are not the fucking same. And it’s this kind of whataboutism that got Trump elected in the first place.

sudo,

Careful with that tinfoil, you might get cut. Bud.

Everything related to healthcare costs in the US should be taken with a pound of salt. The system is like Whose Line is it Anyway? Everything is made up and the costs don’t matter.

This article focuses on how turning over Roe vs Wade is leaving families with fewer options and greater burdens, especially those without insurance, but without systemic reform - things like removing unnecessary middlemen, setting reasonable limits on services and medications, giving paid leave for illness and family care, and removing the necessity of employment from getting affordable care - people will grow ever burdened by the corporate healthcare system.

It’s truly a shame when you go to the doctors in the US it feels more like negotiating with a used car salesman than it does getting health care.
