That’s very true, her behavior is indeed quite harmful towards the community she claims to support and erodes the credibility of their movement. Even though the thing about crazy vegans is largely a stereotype and all vegans are not like that, she is perpetuating that stereotype by her own behavior.

Yeah being around tankies just isn’t worth it, also it’s not like you’ll escape this kind of drama there anyway, they likely have drama this bad or worse there.

Good, it seems he’s done much more for that community than Beaver, her alts, and you (assuming you’re not also an alt) have done for it. Generally making toxic and antagonistic memes all day and attacking the instance moderation are not healthy and productive things for a community. It also doesn’t help the movement at all, and actually can end up hurting it.

Also they made a post which was being openly hostile to Lemmy.world’s mods, I mean what the fuck?

Yeah that mod was a real piece of work, it’s probably for the best that one of the other mods removed her and her alts from the community, and also is in the process of reversing their malicious actions.

It’s funny that she thinks she’s accomplishing anything here but all that’s happening is that she’s eroding her own credibility, especially with those angry memes targeting people who aren’t Vegans and her beef with the Lemmy.world admins.

I’m not really sure either, I think it’s either trying to say that furries and/or femboys are neo-nazis or that most neo-nazis are closeted femboys and/or furries.

Depends on how dense or spread out it is. If it’s dense and everything is in one place you might not need anything more than just going outside.

If it is spread out though you may want communication methods other than mail and if people already have the computers and existing infrastructure (many places have cables for network and phone lines) to set up a local network then that might be the best option.

It was a pretty cool platform but their biggest problem was making it invite only, therefore forcing it to be smaller than competing platforms. Invite only may work for Gmail but not for social media.

Can’t forget about those old soviet flats, tough they’re probably more like the Hollywood version than not on the count of maybe having issues with the lights/power.

There’s a third example missing from here because there are also quite a few hacker furries.

They’re also super comfy so it’s a win-win.

Don’t they automatically reboot when that happens nowadays though?

Defederating is a pretty good solution, it stops them from being able to directly communicate with your servers, preventing them and their users from posting on the instances that they have been defederated from. One example of a server that will be doing this is pawb.social I’m sure others will follow as well.

I’m not sure if it would be necessary but you could also go the extra mile and block their IP range at the firewall level on your Lemmy server. That’s mainly something that you would do for spammers, but since Facebook/Meta do have a bad track record it couldn’t hurt.

Should Note that if a game isn’t on that list, that doesn’t necessarily mean it isn’t DRM free. For example “Rain world” is not on that list and it is not required to launch it through Steam. So this list is by no means exhaustive.

Maybe it might be a good idea for people to reach out to the admins of lemmy.world and other instances about this issue. The sooner we know the better. Might be worth making a post on the main Communities of instances such as [email protected] and [email protected] as well as a few others about these issues.

Their new Twitter clone, “Threads” will likely attempt to federate with Mastodon, and therefore Lemmy and kbin unless instance operators decide to defederate their service, possibly preemptively if we can.

In my opinion they absolutely should do that there’s not much good that will come out of being Federated with a Facebook/Meta product and an insane amount of bad things that will come out of it, we need to nip this in the bud just like we did with Gab (though I will admit that was for different reasons).

It makes it so that downvotes just won’t be accepted on that Federated server. You can still downvote the content from servers that do but it won’t count on the original servers.

Also to answer your question no they can’t downvote your content from the other servers, on instances that have downvotes disabled downvotes won’t be able to go through because they are disabled across that instance and therefore can’t be used by users of that instance.

Also the person developing Reddit’s mod Toolbox is quitting [source]. That’ll be a huge blow to the ability for Reddit mods to moderate subreddits. Yep they really couldn’t fix this even if they wanted to (they don’t, they think we’re too stupid and that we’ll still keep using Reddit even after every sub is full of spam and “upvote if you agree” posts).

Honestly even if they fired Huffman, reversed all his bad decisions, and even went open source again it would still never be the same. They would never be able to fix the damage that they’ve done.

That’s what happens when you stab your users in the back like this.

In the future they eventually might be, for some instances. Though definitely not for all of them, since some of the instances might disable indexing.

I’ve actually already seen a few Lemmy results (lemmy.ml) in Google searches, the trouble is it doesn’t link to individual posts, just the community so it’s not particularly useful. So it definitely is possible, just needs to be improved to be able to index posts.

It’ll definitely be better than Reddit. Reddit has honestly gotten pretty terrible in the last few years. Fediverse may have its flaws but it’s still better than what Reddit has become (and ultimately what Reddit’s for-profit wannabes will become).
