They deserve each other

There’s also the other case where you start a comm on a smaller instance, and then later on someone starts the same comm on l.w. and gets by default more activity >_<

Absolutely. It’s just that redditors are used to the existing order and want to see it replicated in lemmy immediately, jumping over the underlying steps of community growing.

The biggest tragedy of modern media is that they chose to cast Elon Musk as the real life Tony Stark instead of torvalds who created 2 pieces of truly revolutionary software (with the help of thousands of other engineers ofc)

The droves of instances that choose to function as clubs with application process aren’t doing it that way because it’s the only way, they’re doing it because they want to or don’t understand how to set up automoderation tools.

Pray tell, what experience do you have hosting lemmy instances or even social media websites to speak with such authority?

People don’t have to be worried they won’t be rejected if all they want to do is look at memes, upvote, and laugh

People can get banned for the wrong types of memes and for bad voting patterns in lemmy

Sadly way too many admins and developers are content to ignore this problem, until it’s too much to ignore. And at that point, the solutions need to already exist. More specifically I wish more admins would actively curate the fediseer and help with improving its automation toolset. Sadly it’s still just me.

I think something like this will become more necessary as spam becomes a larger problem. This is why I started the fediseer in the first place. The fediverse/apub model is very prone to abuse by spammers who exploit its open nature. The point of using the fediseer already now, is that when the problem becomes impossible to ignore, we already have a service set to combat it populated with the relevant info.

Relevant as well

Reddit has the benefit of being closed source and therefore having secret anti spam filters. We don’t have that benefit and therefore the new user registrations need to be rigorous. “frictionless registrations” also means thousands of spam bots. Reddit doesn’t require any but the downside is that they ban your account at the drop of a hat if they as much as suspect you’re a spammer or bot. However it does leave their registration appearing “simple”.

I can make a GenAI image on my PC in 3 seconds. 0.06 kWH is outrageously wrong.

It’s never “too late” Btw. Far more brutal and regressive regimes have been brought low by labour action. Just an indefinite general strike will collapse them in weeks if not days. Never despair to this extend. Agitate and organize

Should be 12 hours, unless they explicitly prevent us from accessing their nodeinfo. Which now that I think about it, I should probably notify on.

I want to see it per-community. We use voting for actually decision making in my instance, so we can’t disable it instance-wide.

Edit: It is now open for both of them, or was already. I checked the Fediseer page for both instances and it still says that their registrations are closed.

Fediseer doesn’t check constantly btw.

No Port-knocking? Amateurs! /s

Whenever I see complaints like these, purposefully vague about what kind of “exteme views” they have a problem with, I have to think of this meme

I love that they “fixed” it by misgendering drag again, then “fixed” it again, by just using drag’s username (i.e. capitalized), which just goes to show how confusing drag is.

🫡

For example, there’s a user in the fediverse known as Drag, and people were blowing up because of his pronouns.

“I’m so against transphobia, I’m going to misgender the very person I bring as example”.

Nice!
