From what i can see here, the USA are currently socially regressing from Bioshock 1 to Bioshock Infinite.

Fully agree - Boobs look and feel nice, but ass is what gets me going

np i’ll just overdraft my bank account, buy 500 patriots and shitloads of ATACMS for ukraine, send them off, and then declare bankruptcy. i can manage the 5 years lol

Actually, that’s a real problem. The issue isn’t that features stop working or some slowdown, it’s millions of devices going without security updates and getting swooped into gargantuan bot networks.

Don’t fall victim to the paradox of tolerance. Tolerating intolerance leads to the end of tolerance. Nazis move outside of the social contract, and are therefore not to be tolerated.

same reason it’s still a bad idea to bet on 4,8,15,16,23,42 even though it’s been a while

start blocking users and communities you don’t care about, or you can auto-ignore bot users in your profile; both options should help you out quickly.

I would answer that with yes, because it has (video)posts, comments, likes, follows etc.

but i agree that it’s an edge case, because many aren’t using it like social media

This is why my personal opinion about religion is the same as my opinion about paranoid schizophrenia, the only difference being that religion is a trained behaviour. Fuck all parents who willingly expose children to brainwashing.

my last response, and then i give up, because you are narrowmindedly chasing down your warpath and are not open to other views. the only one who is forcing something here is you, take your feedback seriously, or you are no better than what you are fighting. other than that, best of luck in your endeavors.

You are missing the point. Lemmy does not NEED to grow, since there are no profit incentives.

Its hostile towards Reddit admins. I don’t care much, but they will.

Its hostile towards Lemmy admins, who already told you that your spamming techniques generate as much load as the largest instances. also, since your “content” gets federated to other instances, your legal liability might become theirs too.

Its hostile towards Lemmy users, who see lots of botspam which they cannot filter currently since the users you generate have to be blocked one by one.

Its hostile towards Reddit users, who get their created content and USERNAMES copied without given consent.

I also use “All”! I like seeing what others in the fediverse are up to, as long as it’s authentic discourse. I don’t care if it gets smaller currently. The quality is fine, and since most growth in fediverse projects come in spurs, i am not even slightly worried. I have also been attracted for more than a month, and since the discourse is authentic, i engage more than i ever did on reddit.

In my opinion, every bad move reddit makes will lead to another influx of users to the fediverse.

Yes, they were effective. Lemmy got a fresh infusion of users, and its not even how many, but WHO we got! We got especially the people who think for themselves and who are not apathetic towards bad moves; people who cared about their communities. This also explains why you get so much pushback. It does not sit well with them (and me) because it is in line with what Meta, Reddit or Google would do.

I don’t think a “war” against big tech is Lemmys primary use case. Lemmy is there to bring people together and is doing a fine job of that, for a project that was not really ready at the time of the protest. I haven’t seen people call for a war in the last months - raising awareness, yes; but ultimately the message should be a positive one - this is what makes Lemmy stand out from the “competition”.

my point stands, its bad publicity and will not help growing lemmy organically.

Its nice that meta, the nice little family run company did that. /s

noone asked meta to do that. it’s a hostile move.

noone asked YOU to do that. it’s a hostile move too.

you are using strategies of a megacorp with a reputation of crapping all over everything the fediverse stands for. i would recommend you start less doing and more thinking, and not on a technical level, but on the morality of your decisions. as you can see in the overwhelming negative responses (except for the ppl using you as their personal reddit-rss-feed) and the defederations, your actions already lead to the isolation of your instance, which will hurt your users too.

ETA: just wanted you to know that do think that your service is neither GDPR-compliant nor CCPA-compliant. i don’t know if you checked with your lawyer before, but i’m pretty sure you don’t have a process for deletion requests, since you don’t have a privacy policy posted, which is where that info should be if you had any to give. (The data you copied over is another can of problems, namely reddits lawyers, who probably reserve all rights to make your life pretty sucky)

Also, at the end of the article:

“Update: It appears that contrary to what I first believed, the single-player portion of the game—Order of War without the “Challenge”—is still available on Steam, and only the multi-player content has been removed.”

lets be honest: if someone were to post on reddit, and that webscraper copies the post and THEIR USERNAME onto an alternative service without prior consent, what is the reaction you should expect?

a) oh wow thats helpful thank you very much i will now drop reddit forever

or

b) your post and account stealing crapshoot of a server can go die in a ditch for all i care

i can assure you, most people will choose b), and even people who might have chosen a) will first hear about it from the pissed off group.

I believe your activism comes from the right place, but i think it’s actively harmful, even if you ignore that it annoys people in the fediverse itself.

Damn, from what i read here watching streams with nearly every solution on your tv sucks ass today. i still have my hardware steam link (and have another one in storage) and 2 steam controllers and just stream my desktop. the setup is ancient by now, but as long as the steam link can get updates or at least can sideload moonlight i’ll be set

Yes, his ass. Hourly wages in 2018 were about 2$ more compared to the 1960s and the increases went to the 90th percentile of earners. And that was before the last big round of inflation.

I can’t comprehend how any American who calls himself a patriot can vote for this traitorous pig.
