I noticed yesterday there seemed to be fewer and fewer thumbnail images appearing on the front page, and today there seems to be almost none at all. The ones I have seen so far seem to be from posts on this instance only, but I can't confirm that with certainty yet....
Having worked at a company that had a massive influx of GDPR requests we weren’t prepared for, this one could actually cause them some trouble if Reddit don’t have that process properly automated.
EDIT: replied to the wrong comment and server 500's on deletion.
Lemmy is not a company offering services, and doesn't store personally identifiable information besides IP address, so whether it even falls under GDPR is questionable.
Though what if lemmy ever ran into the same trouble of getting hit by gdpr

Fingerprinting is against the goals of Lemmy and privacy. Lemmy should be for the good of people.
If anything there should be SOME centralization that allows other (known, somehow verified) instances to vote to allow/disallow spammy instances. In some way that couldn't be abused. This may lead to a fork down the road (think BTC vs BCH) due to community disagreements but I don't really see any other way this doesn't become an absolute spamfest. As it stands now one server admin could spamfest their own server with their own spam, and once it starts federating EVERYONE gets flooded. This also easily creates a DoS of the system.
Asking instance admins to require CAPTCHA or whatever to defeat spam doesn't work when the instance admins are the ones creating spam servers to spam the federation.

If a spam instance created 1m posts before coming online, and it creates a massive flood as soon as it federates, does the good instance blocking it also remove all federated comments and posts from that instance?
If you don't understand why he's doing it then you've never done anything of value w/r/t community projects and your opinion belongs in the toxic wasteland with all the others.
The guy is trolling people. That's not how any of the LLMs write, AND what they do say when presented with a prompt of questionable ethics is "as an AI language model" not "as an AI language program."
No service uses the word program in that prompt response.
It shouldn't need to be said but people are daft so I'll say it anyway: I support the protests, hope reddit dies, and fuck spez.
For example, I could search "best blender reddit" and browse tons of threads and gather advice. Is there an equivalent we can do in the future with Lemmy/Kbin?
I wouldn't expect him to lol. Every time I watch one of his videos, I'm reminded of one of The Onion News Network's greatest creations: The Autistic Reporter.

I've checked the box but now that it's blocking properly marked porn, my /active feed is being inundated with what feels like a hundred different "furry" communities and magazines. I'm blocking them as they come up because I'm not into that shit at all but is there an additional filter I can add or is that maybe something that...
I hate Elon as a person as much as the next guy, but I'm sad to see Lemmy users with the same inability for emotional override as the average redditor. How this has downvotes is beyond me.
I had been having trouble getting meaningful results from the fediverse on Google, and after seeing this post, it seems I'm not the only one. So, I created a site that helps search the fediverse in your search engine of choice (it currently supports Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, and Dogpile)....
A boob, a butt, or even some violence like one might see on the news anyway, I’m not freaked out about all that and I don’t feel the need to hide it from those around me usually… that’s all fine fine, but I don’t want porn on my feed like at all....
There needs to be a levels system instead of a letters system.
NSF(W)1: you wouldn't look at it in front of your boss in a corporate setting. Anything slightly risque in nature.
NSF(W)2: Written graphic text
NSF(W)3: Maybe a nip slip, or an African tribeswoman in native dress
NSF(W)4: Some intermediary step here
NSF(W)5: Nudes, porn, etc.
NSF(L)1: Fight footage with mild-medium violence
NSF(L)2: Death
NSF(L)3: Graphic death. Gore. Beheadings. Etc.
They don't even need to be in order, but there should be a classification system. Once the classification system is implemented, we can set classifications to view/not view in our settings.
Did thumbnal images disappear for anyone else?

With all of the instances having different URL's, what's the best way to "google" a question and get Lemmy instance answers?
For example, I could search "best blender reddit" and browse tons of threads and gather advice. Is there an equivalent we can do in the future with Lemmy/Kbin?

We need to be able to differentiate between NSFW and porn.
