So maybe more weight should be put on comment count? Much harder to fake those.

That's such a hilariously bad metric for detecting a bot network too. It wouldn't even work to detect a real one, so all that policy ever did was annoy real users.
Well beehaw.org is hosted in NYC.
Even he knows reddit is a sinking ship.
Man if we could target 10% of the hate priests get for that towards teachers doing the same thing we might actually be able to protect most children from abuse.
This is huge, would love to see any other info on this.
I hear the big downside with Usenet is availability of old or obscure content. Not sure how true this is though as I've never used Usenet myself.
I was actually talking to someone that works in advertising and for big companies this is unlikely. Pepsi for example pays a lot for the guarntee that their product ads won't appear near posts they don't want them to. Since Lemmy advertising would only be through regular posts where they have no control over this, they likely wouldn't risk the potential detriment to brand perception.
Now this can change if the potential reach of Lemmy is big enough but that size will be different for each company.
I'm pretty sure it actually does stand for that in lemmy.ml's case at least.
This alone wouldn't help because I can just set up an instance that requires email verification (or any other kind) and automate it still since I can make infinite emails with my own domain.
This is exactly why they wouldn't risk officially advertising here. Not enough control over the platform leads to too much risk to brand perception.
Yep, more likely intentional than just a technical issue with the website.
This would actually be a bit more difficult. So first it would be easy for me to set up lemmy1.derproid.com, lemmy2.derproid.com, etc. but if you could just defed from *.derproid.com it's no problem. However setting up lemmy1.com, lemmy2.com, etc. is more expensive because you would need to register and pay for each of those domains individually.
That's not to say it's impossible but there is a bigger barrier to it.
Damn that mouse, I'd even be fine with life of the author in theory. But life of the author +70 freaking years is ridiculous.
Ah that's a good point, should probably be doing that.
Yeah I'll probably end up doing this eventually, just hope there's a way to migrate my account when I do.
Go take a look at the UN's Twitter account on National Men's day. Or I remember articles about how 1 in 4 homeless are women and it's a tragedy for women. Honestly if you have seen articles like these before you're either not reading many of them or you aren't noticing what they are saying.
Imagine wanting a monopoly.
Yeah I imagine anyone with real knowledge that was contributing has jumped ship at this point.
Yeah but this could be solved with a slightly more complex bot that tries to determine if a post is a question from the FAQ instead of just blocking new users.
I wouldn't even want it restricted to the same community name, make it customizable. I'd love to be able to set up Android and FossDroid on the same feed for example. Or all the different selfhosted/homelab/datahoarders/etc. communities.
This is definitely one of my favorite things, not sure if it'll stop happening once we start getting more posts though.
Each instance should probably have a 2 to 4 sentence summary (maybe 240 character limit lol) that could be included there so people could easily compare the philosophy of those recommendations if they care to read it.
How was the affect of this? Was there a quantifiable lower amount of people coming with scam tickets?
I wonder what the reason for that speed difference on a seedbox is. I'd like to set up a custom server for other things at home so I'd prefer to use that over a seedbox.
And we all trust the authorities.
Smaller instances could probably be run entirely on aws free tier as well.
It does matter though. Can't play a lot of old PS exclusives on PC. That is starting to change for some new games though.
Probably won't see their firearm for 5 years though.

Diversity of opinion, background, and perspective is important. Diversity of skin color is meaningless on it's own.
I just keep things seeding until I need more space, then I'll remove things based on ratio, average upload per day, and how much I want to keep the torrent alive. For example Queen Charlotte ratio is at 81.12, I don't really like it but since a lot of people want it I'm keeping it up. Alternatively for anime it's mostly a ratio of 2-3 but because I know how few people actually seed anime I keep it up (doesn't hurt that it's only like 1 GiB per episode too). As for removals I'm probably gonna remove High On Life soon since it's pretty heavy at 35.98 GiB and only has a ratio of 4.67 after 2 weeks.
Eh I see no reason to have support discussions in Lemmy. Leave Lemmy for promotions, updates, and sharing content.
Well yeah, that's the point. Maybe Sony will stop forcing exclusivity and sign a deal with MS to get Bethesda games back on PS and FF and others on Xbox.
Is personal responsibility just not a thing anymore?
Doesn't need to be publicly traded to have those issues.
