Yeah the problem is if someone published something with CSAM from a server you federated with then you are hosting that content. I’m not a fan of 230 since it gives Facebook a free pass for the horable shit they have done but removing 230 is clearly a play to kill off platforms they don’t like.
Yeah she did a documentary a few years back that was pretty good.
Well also on reddit there was a lot of Psyops shit going on with accounts being puppeted. By one org or another to manipulate the discussion. Reddit is a bigger target for that kind of shit. Lemmy gets the benefit like Linux used to have of being too small on the desktop side to be a target for the most part.
Yeah I’m glad it works for you but at that point you are using lemmy like a RSS feed reader and at that point just use an RSS feed reader. But my point was trying to explain the lack of engagement that drives more content. Sometimes the post is secondary to comments in some cases.
You are also asuuming reddit was the default for a person coming to lemmy and that still doesn’t explain the multiple communities created as clones becase the familiarity gets flipped on its head becase the person coming from reddit that would appeal to goes. It looks like reddit has the same name as my favorite subreddit. Why doesn’t it work just like reddit? Then they say screw this I’m going back to reddit and thus you haven’t dead communities hanging off of lemmy like a tumor. Hell the /c/name is not even shown in clients when you search it’s the display name. So that makes it even more confusing.
Yeah imagine what lemmy would look like if reddit or Digg were not a thing and it went from forums directly to lemmy. The network would be so even and the the instance would tell you kind of what communities are there just by the name.
But that’s my point it wasn’t created organically one community at a time but a flood of clones with the same names at subreddits vs having there own identity. So instead of one community on one instance known for one topic you have twenty that are watered down and no one knows where to coalesce.
If I could change one thing about lemmy. I kind of wish communities worked like channels in IRC. When servers are federated if I go to #games on my server and you go to #games on your server. It does it’s best to show the same content. So the instance is real but the community is vitrual abstracted by the protocol.
I know I engage way more on lemmy than I ever did on reddit. I think I posted more on here in the first year then I did the whole 11 years on reddit. Lemmy reminds me more of the old forum days than reddit or Digg. I wish lemmy would have followed the forum model more with an instantce having just 2 to 3 communities all around similar theme like how the star trek instance does it vs everyone trying to be an mini reddit. Also I know it’s ironic me saying that with my account being from .world
The worse two things to happen to lemmy when the reddit api migration happened is people created clones of their subreddits multiple times on different instances but when it didn’t take off immediately they just abandoned it. The second was bot posting no one is going to engage when op is not real and thus you have zombie communities with zero comments. So it looks like a ghost town instead of a letting grow organically.
Yeah boost is great I try to us open source as much as possible but I have not anything beter. When it’s a one person show I don’t mind it as much.
Trey Parkers mother was thrown into a volcano and he has been salty about it ever since.
This is 100% correct but just wanted to say when I see an admin account with the little red A. I always think it’s the Scarlett Letter and giggle.
Yeah sorry I don’t have better news but hey if that’s what your interested in nothing stopping you from reaching out to the mods or admins to take it over.
I don’t like Nazi’s in my government nor in grammar.
Yeah I saw warriors of the wind when I was very young and never knew the name of the movie but would go up to videos stores in the 90s and basically discibe the movie. Girl on a glider chases after giant bugs. No one knew what I was talking about. Then when Disney did the release with news dub in 2005. I saw a ad for it on TV at like 2am and freaked woke my parents up and everything.
Yeah there is /c/jobs and jobpostings but they are pretty dead. I think they are left overseas where everyone made a mad dash to recreate those subreddits when the api thing happened then just left them to rot.
You may be on to something. It kills me these asshats made all their money by taking from Government funded programs like Basic and from community free and open source projects.
I was 4 days amd no jokes waa seeing plad. My boss took me on a casino trip where I thought it was an hour away but ensed up going a state away so 10 hours both ways.
