I agree. Same as public libraries, someone pays for it, either through work or through money. So people should always donate to their instance if they are able to. Otherwise they are actively promoting the opposite: closed source, for profit, walled gardens.

Hahaha

Awesome comment! Thanks for sharing.

My washing machine only has „scolding hot“ and „heartless cold“. Does it need help? /jk

…we haven‘t been sued by our customers for bad code!

Yes thats due to testing.

Can you prove that?

…

I‘m not saying you cant be right. I still dont agree with your assumptions. Have a good day.

1. how will you prove they’re not „real people“?
2. you‘re using a platform made by them
3. the post itself is also propaganda since it pushes for a „solution“ against „tankies“.

I‘m glad that the fediverse resists excessive moderation and silencing of unwanted political opinions. I‘m not a fan of some of the things said or done on .ml but we wont do anything which is awesome. You can make your own instance and defederate, ban, block whoever you like.

To make my point clear, I made a large donation to the lemmy devs as I think they are doing awesome work. @dessalines@lemmy.ml especially is a tremendous help for the open source community.

But of course you‘re entitled to your opinion. Have a good day.

Oh you‘re in for a rough time. The amount of people not willing to deal with non-tech, high-drama people here is slim to say the least.

Maybe start trying to grasp the idea of the fediverse and you might enjoy it. Good luck.

Great explanation. Thank you.

I‘m a former reddit mod, I was part of the reddit mod community, I have discussed the topic at length with other mods, a lot of us have made new communities on lemmy. I‘d say thats how I got the idea.

Thank you

Eww

if you want to use it to judge someones knowledge and ability to use documentation, I‘d ask if they have installed arch, by hand, at least once. Calling using automation cheating is assuming they mean „by hand“ which probably isnt fair.

Moderation as a skill involves many subskills in my opinion: critical thinking, empathy, taking on another perspective, restraint, etc.

The issue is that reddit showed lack of all these in the months following the API fallout. This led to many „real“ moderators leaving.

The people remaining have a moral code that allows them to ignore the things that happened because otherwise they would leave too (empathy), or they think they can fix it (critical thinking).

Thats why you end up with messages like this.

I think they meant for five minutes because if you won, you won right?

If a company makes millions (let alone billions) while all but the top 1-5% of their artists have to fight for scraps, piracy is the only good option. Dont buy from billion dollar companies at all. Support artists individually and let labels rot.

Most lemmy servers now have application processes and check for IPs being the same to prevent attacks afaik. When I helped delete spam posts the large majority was from fringe lemmy servers, none from the big ones.

You can still open up one accound on every server but it takes so much time that it makes no sense imo.

Yup.

Great that we are on the same side here.

Now I‘d like to add that your idea is much better suited for the fediverse than reddit because nobody can control which LLM reads your data and therefore gives the „greater good for humanity“ to exactly that: humanity, instead of some corporation making money off of it.

Okay cool! Did you explain why you only posted the link?
