Look at the unknown line, looks like the tool used to create this graph mistook one of the windows versions for an "unknown". Likely the result of a cumulative update.

Based on the graph i expect they process data monthly, fixed the issue for june but have not gone back and fixed the data points for apr and may.

reddit search was never not broken

Less social media IMO, more the weaponization of techniques first researched in the 60s-80s made real and pushed via automaton to all corners of the public internet.

The reason you become vulnerable is because you abdicate control (most had no idea) of your feed to providers that own domain names.

This was a co-option of how the internet worked previously.

one of these is making a profit off of you, the other is a community tended commons. there is no comparison.

please tell me you did this AFTER systematically devaluing your years of submitted content?

tbh, as a small instance, i might be defederating meta. im not a fan of the person that has everything through theft and scam.

He expects some Reddit users to actually resort to physical violence, painting them as the irrational bad guys in this whole situation?

Spez has played the victim the entire time, why change tack now?

im running 50 users right now, subbed to A LOT of communities, seeing db growth of about 100mb per day.

Yes

smaller instances give you more control over your feed generally but discovery is on you.

i do expect better filters and controls in the future

they slowed things down in an attempt to try and get more scabs, they even reduced the limits to apply to take over a community, still haven't found enough people. MCoC is now on full auto, is not replying to anything and is just taking over subs and re-opening them with no moderators other than MCoC

Report it to the police, corporate and consider talking to your local news. Make sure school admin is aware as well. If you can shift them to different schools (i know not always possible) do so.

My usual response to this kind of thing is to get louder not quieter, that said, I'm also able to put on an angry enough face to make people cross the road which is not a power everyone has.

Go with your comfort level but I would urge reporting to the police and doing what you can to get out of what sounds like broken area.

simple, don't federate with meta

1. Babyfood containers are NSF plastic meant to be microwavable
2. They only tested babyfood containers and a pouch
3. these containers are made out of the same plastics used in many microwaveable products

I'm not microwaving plastic ever again.

they are toast, forcing these open will not save them long term. the fact that they had to go here shows how effective this has really been.

no one expect them to close doors tomorrow, and I still think they IPO, lots of dumpster fires IPO. Will still be a dumpster fire and at some point it will be "huh, you still go to that trash site"?

Its happened to ever corp social network.

we called them post whores

r=subReddit c=Community

plenty of content on my screen, I do admit Im posting less everywhere right now while hunting for a job.

governments need to take seriously what we are looking at in the next 40 years. There IS going to be less work, and less need for it. We can no longer play a game of work = virtue and that you must work to live.

If we fail to address this we will be complicit in a slow genocide

i posted on the public internet with the intent and understanding that it would be crawled by systems for all kinds of things. if i dont want content to be grabbed i dont publish it publicly

you can't easily have it both ways imo. even with systems that do strong pki if you want the world in general to see it you are giving up a certain amount of control over how the content gets used.

law does not really matter here as much as people would like to try to apply it, this is simply how public content will be used. Go post in a garden if you don't want to get scrapped, just remember the corollary is your reach, your voice is limited to the walls of that garden.

im just shooting that down outright, what about the devs or the server they run matters? as far as I can tell the software works fine, we can fork and run what we like, its a protocol not a proprietary system.

why are people saying the culture must match the devs? do you adopt the culture of all the devs that make the software you use?

do we all need to list the OS's and software stacks we use so politics are clear?

this is silly.

upvotes are all over the place, posts being out of sync is normal too right now. growing pains.

these days password managers clear the clipboard, still the clipboard is not secure which would be why some still block it.

really its an indication we need to drop User/Pass auth once and for all.

I hosted ad-free invision and phpbb forums for almost a decade before the centralized services started. I do it because I like social media and understand the value of a vibrant commons. I've been working with computers since I was a child so hosting yet-another-app-server is not really that big of a deal and gives my users and myself a place we can call home on the internet.

The out-of-pocket cost is minimal for a small instance, for larger instances scaling issues are going to hit eventually and costs will go beyond what 1-person will bear without complaint.

Highly recommend more smaller instances.

My server costs me only about $5 USD a month and I can host thousands of users without much additional effort (my sites before would usually run to ~10k users).

**Tl;dr we do this because we want to, the act itself is often fulfillment. **

bit of lore about the word "forum"

you would think it was the centralized providers marketing that moved from the word first but in reality it was the forums themselves. When you didn't want your employees wasting time on the internet you would block certain words in the URI rather than certain domains. Words like "forum" and "chat" were perma-filtered at many workplaces like reddit or some other sites are today.

Many sites migrated away from using the word "forum" initially by hacking up thier default forum installs (some of those early php apps SUCKED) years before subs.

1-letter path names became a good way to obfuscate.

good topic for the communities on dbzer0 !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

at this point there is no "walking it back" for many unless spez and a number of employees are removed and replaced. Even then, i dont think I can ever trust the org. At the end of the day thier objectives re:IPO put thier goals in direct contravention of what reddit is or was.

The site simply is no longer able to function as it was, and there is really no way to fix that. They may have simply handed thier business to meta without getting meta to buy them out.

that doesn't delete your content

yes, there is nothing stopping google and ive already tested my own instance, content shows up fine.

i expect the software likely needs an "seo pass" so that it can be optimized for search engines. this will come in time.

FB is a known source for targeted misinfo campaigns. If I log into those services right now Im pretty much gaurenteed to have misinfo on my landing page.

why federate with that?

if an entire federation of volunteers can do it, a massive org like amazon can.

no on cares that you care about no one caring but hey thats the internet isin't it

This is how email works. This is how the internet worked in general before the big sites

The problem you want to fix is a big issue in computing in general. Billions have been spent on last mile auth and universal digital identity is still just a bit out of reach

Soon.

if its for profit? prob not

The Fediverse Could be Awesome (If We Don't Screw it Up)

i keep hearing people call for this like its going to happen and be the only way things will be. Look at reddit, look at the history of some of these subs.

there will always be multiple copies of various communities. what software gives us the ability to do is sort and filter and tag (we need to add this) to our hearts content so instance admins and users have control over what comes across thier feeds.

Joined communities will have many of the same centralization problems reddit has now. I've seen this call mostly from users who were on reddit long after it was large. It seems many have no idea that almost every topic on reddit has 4-6 subs around it usually.
