And how many people answer that on Sunday night?

What I’m getting at is a major website has at least a skeleton staff that can do something, even if that’s just pulling the plug.

I don’t even reply to most work texts after hours unless it’s someone saying they have to use sick leave. I don’t expect people hosting Lemmy as a hobby to be on call 24/7.

But I hope afterwards they’re transparent about what happened and how they’re going to stop it from happening again. If not, it’s easy to hop instances

What impact?

As long as you dont go on lemmy.world, it’s not going to redirect you to all the stupid websites.

And I doubt whatever they’re posting (if they’re posting anything) is getting upvoted, so you won’t see it anywhere else.

And where are you getting “malware” from?

People are acting like it’s some crazy hack, and not the 4chan rejects from exploding heads finally guessing an admins password a week after they got defederated. And after all that time chasing the mailman, they had no idea what to do when they guessed it

But this does highlight an issue with instances. I doubt the handful of admins know each other. Like, maybe an email, but for the most part if shit like this happens during “off hours” it might be a while before the top admin even knows there’s an issue

but I don’t think people realise how bad it’s become.

One time I made a main level comment, then replied to one of the most upvote comments in the same thread.

Seconds later a bit replied to me with my first reply, except for some reason it cut off the end. I don’t know if the bot ran out of characters because it was a cheap bot, or if it was an attempt to avoid automated detection.

Bots were a huge problem long before AI started trying to have conversations.

We all joked about it, but a lot of the accounts were really fake, and they usually got sold to advertisers after amassing enough karma and post history to look authentic

There’s a shit ton of upvote bots and subs had free gold to give out all the time.

Admins like it because it looks good to advertisers and idiots think buying gold is normalized

Mods like it because it boosts sub visibility and got more subscribers

And some users chase karma so theyre onboard too.

There wasn’t much authentic about reddit

Is there any problem with the statement that the far-left is trash and sucked as much as the far-right?

Only if you don’t have an issue lying, if you’re fine with lying, I guess you wouldn’t have an issue saying that…

Ever heard of horseshoe theory?

Yeah, it’s that thing trumpers and “moderates” constantly talk about. There’s no logic or facts to back it up, but they sure love repeating it.

I have a question tho, why are your only two comments talking about how “nazis aren’t really that bad”?

It made sense trump and Modi got along.

But fucking embarrassing Biden acts like a far right religious authoritarian is in anyway a decent person.

They both just want India to become the world’s next sweatshop

It’s gaming an algorithm.

Big deals like this aren’t made off one person’s decision, there’s all these metrics that are supposed to show the health of a company. But like anything, if you know the metrics you can just focus on that even if it’s the literal worst thing to do. It pumps the metrics.

They’re not trying to keep reddit alive forever, they want to juice the metrics so it’s worth the absolute most on IPO day. It’s all they care about.

Why is half of it asking for investments?

Wouldn’t it be a better idea to just link the actual Daily Beast article

Volume, and diversity of opinions.

On Reddit I browsed “new” or “rising” and just subs I was subscribed too was enough for a steady stream of content.

On Lemmy even including all instances, there’s not a whole lot on “new”.

Which is good, because it makes it easier to find communities to subscribe too and also the problematic ones so you can block them and never see them again.

But low users mean most communities are dead. There’s a Fantasy Football sub for example, there’s 3 other people on it tho, so it won’t really be very useful this season.

They navigated by getting text messages from the ship…

That’s fucking insane when you’re going miles under the sea

Also, there’s no way to open it from the inside, they’re bolted in.

So even if they surfaced, they’ll still run out of air if they’re not found soon.

I once got a bot reply that was word for word a comment I had made somewhere else in the same thread…

Like, people always joked that everyone was a bot, but I think it was a lot more than anyone thought.

Yep, nsfw means no ads.

Also set it so a mod has to approve every post before it shows.

That way the sub is technically up and they can’t take it or make money off it.

Twitter will abide by the law but will not go further, Musk said during the interview. He claimed hate speech had decreased by 30 percent since he took over, even as Lapix presented him with statistics saying the opposite — including a study by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue exposing a 105 percent increase in antisemitic posts.

Pressed by the interviewer, the billionaire, a self-proclaimed freedom of expression absolutist, said the definition of hate speech shouldn’t be too broad or it could lead to censorship. Shown tweets rejoicing about the migrant boat disaster off Greece last week, Musk conceded they were “distasteful” but should remain online as long as they’re not illegal.

His definition of hate speech is just shit he disagrees with.

He agrees with anti-lgtbq and antisemitism, so to him, that’s not hate speech

Because the building was an asset during the sale…

On paper it was “smart” to have it there because it was a tangible asset. Long term it was a waste of money, but canceling would have been worse before the sale because it would have been an immediate loss affecting the price.

Just kicking the can down the road

There was escrow fail-safes.

If they didn’t pay, there was funds sitting there to avoid downtime.

Took a while to burn through them, then they never got replenished.

“unintentional landing”

Why are you talking about Vietnam?

Vietnam is the reason we support with money and not bodies…

I don’t think coins/gold ever really made money.

Reddit gave a shit ton out to mods to give to inflate the appearance people were buying them to give out. And when you’d receive gold, you got coins to give others gold.

It’s like a Ponzi scheme but without money…

I never paid a cent for gold, but had it at least 50% of the time on Reddit.

Because “funding other people’s wars” is better than waiting a couple years till it’s our war too…

Did you forget about WW2?
