Oh up yours, with your clickbait title. A DDOS is not a hack.

Why would these people blocking each other have any influence on whether you stay on or leave twitter?
Is this /c/technology or /c/circlejerk?
This is going to get buried, but I think it's important to note that block on twitter (unlike on most platforms) works both ways. You can still mute an account, and you won't see any of their content or mentions.
By removing block, it means you can no longer block a person from following you, but you can still prevent seeing their stuff. After all - all that person has to do see your public tweets is open an incognito browser window, and view your profile. If you have a private profile, none of this applies to begin with. So in that sense, I agree with Elon - block in its current form on twitter makes no sense.
Edit: Responding directly onto your posts - good point, I hadn't considered that. It's partially circumvented by changing the setting so can comment on your posts, but I agree that's more effort. For all the other things though - if you block someone now they can just take a screenshot of your tweet and comment on that.
Did they though? It might be my filter bubble, but whenever I saw web3 being pushed I saw a small refraction of responses of people who also thought it was a great idea (typical salesbros - so a good idea for others to do, just not for themselves). But the vast majority of people reject it for being a scam.
So how many people fell for it, really?
You definitely could, but it's not really sustainable.
Worst case scenario: if everybody does this, and there's 50.000 subscribers on a certain community, then that community will have to update 50.000 other servers whenever one user leaves a single message or vote.
Sure, your own server wouldn't have a hard time, but it every popular server (with lots of subscribers) would. It would either take a long time for you to receive their updates, or you wouldn't get them at all.
The best thing you can do, is join a medium size server: it won't be as overloaded as a big server, and wouldn't cause as much strain on the fediverse as a personal server.
I heard that rumor before, is there any source to this? Like, which antivirus companies?
No censorship / unable to delete content? What happens when somebody decides to post illegal content like CP? I know that's an easy target, but either it has a way to deal with that, or it's going to attract a very scary crowd, at least as a subset.
Hi. Lemmit developer/owner here.
You are not the asshole. As you are quite aware by now, the whole point of the bot/Lemmy server is to copy content from Reddit. I know the bot can be quite spammy, and I have no idea why people Request subreddits like these, let alone subscribe to them - since it doesn't copy any comments, even when it EXPLICITLY states so in every post.
When I created the bot, I did so specifically for subs where interaction with OP and other community members is of little value, like !itookapicture@lemmit.online , !steamdeals@lemmit.online and, errr, "grown up subreddits".
That so many people subscribe to "cliffhanger subs" (just the questions without the answers) is beyond me, but it's a side-effect of the model / open market, I suppose. I do intend to keep improving the bot though. Short term plans are for adding some thresholds of minimum karma levels before archiving a post, and putting a sticky on each community that suggests actual, organic communities rather than this.
My end goal for Lemmit is for it to be unnecessary - that all the content people love is created here. But I do know it's hard to let go of some of the content treasures people leave behind.
Last but not least: I sincerely encourage everybody who dislikes the bot to block it, or to ask their server owners to defederate from lemmit.online if they dislike it. That's the beauty of the fediverse, in my opinion.
Thanks for putting an actual summary in there. Much appreciated.
No, the whole point is that an isp should not be forced to do anything, unless ordered to do so by a court.
As the title mentions, this an endless chase if you approach it like this. Vigilante mobs aren't going to solve this, it's going to take specialist agencies with mandates to request data civilians can't. Crimes are being committed there (not murders, but a good way to get the scare votes, I suppose), and there are laws in place to deal with that.
As mentioned several times in this thread, shifting the responsibility for what is allowed to be said on the Internet from governments to corporate entities is a terrible precedent.
Edit: Nevermind. I see you're also responsible for this wonderful gem:
The position is intellectually dishonest unless you’re actually pro-killing-transgender people.
There's no point in arguing with you.
On the other hand: nothing looks as cheap as a shattered glass back, or having to use a cover because the default surface is too slippery for 1hand use.
Are there any practical (non-theoretical) uses for NFTs that couldn't be done otherwise easier/better without them though?
Edited to make it easier for NFTs to show their worth.
I'm starting to wonder if complete anonymity on a computer is actually worth it
Everything is so much easier when you put it in absolutes - because it's no longer reasonable.
saying that if I don't create an account then they will do it for me
I would report the hell out of them, both to Facebook and HR. That's literally the definition of identity theft.
Although the point is kind of moot - because of all the people who know you, that do willingly share their everything (including their phone contacts, photos etc), Facebook already has a You-shaped hole, even if you don't have an account.
So when I got pressured into creating a Facebook account (not as badly as you were though), I was so creeped out by the amount of data they already had on me, I immediately deleted my account. It felt like being invited into someone's home for the first time and seeing a stalker shrine dedicated to yourself.
"it's okay, I do this with everyone."
No, it really is not.
Retroactively, in 2015?
I couldn't help but note the lack of figures of how unsafe driverless cars are, versus a regular car, per distance driven. And for that matter - how much that number had changed over recent years - because that's the entire point of these tests, to make traffic safer.
And when scooter companies flooded the sidewalks with electric scooters, people threw them into San Francisco Bay.
Ah, that happened here as well. But we just call it vandalism.
If we're just going for semantics, don't you mean more than 1 for them to qualify as "people"?
On a video where China demonstrates its automated human tracking capabilities, you want people to discuss other countries' tracking?
What's your motivation for this whataboutism?
You should read the thread she posted. Half of it was about management telling her to stop whining when she brought up any of the misconducts against her.
I can say with full confidence that I have absolutely no idea.
I've heard this idea thrown around before, so I take no credit for it: One way to circumvent the issue would be to have actual relay nodes. As in: nodes that don't hold contents or users themselves, but just "broadcast" incoming messages to several instances, so that the source instances don't have to. This would of course have its own drawbacks and limitations, but it would alleviate the bottleneck.
I'm sure some kind of solution will be found though. Call me optimistic, but I think the lemmi/binniverse has a bright future ahead of it. I, for one, have burned my reddit bridges.
Using it to (create a tool to) create derivatives of the work on a massive scale.
For transparency, this is what a Like payload looks like. The first part is just context for the activitiypub protocol and is pretty much the same for each message. The second part contains the actual data of the message, and the most personal detail in it is the url of your own profile, and the url of the post/comment you like:

I guess that's my fault for not specifically asking for reliable sources.
"All I did was misrepresent something harmless, done by a company that's doing so much more horrible things that I shouldn't be using their product in the first place, and now people are calling me out on it. Clearly, they are wrong."
I use the tree style tab extension for that.
I had to get a Facebook account in order to get an api token (for work). So I used a fake name. That apparently triggered something, because I then also had to supply legal id. What's a guy to do in that case?
Well, obviously the only sensible thing you can do under those circumstances. I just grabbed an example drivers license for my country online, photo shopped my fake name into it, changed since serial numbers, and pasted another face over the black and white photo. The original used a woman's face with curly hair - turns out that if you neatly paste a man's eyes, nose and mouth in there, he looks like a hardrocker. Next step: print it out on paper, take a picture of that from some distance, and submit it to Facebook as proof. Funnily enough, they approved it.
Since I didn't really need to use the account itself, I set it to only accept friend requests from Friends of Friends. But still, whenever I logged in with it, I got a popup that my account was showing "suspicious behaviour". And that's how you submit your id to social media.
Funny when the 1 month old account remarks that to the 9 month old account.
Hate to break it to you bub: the only places where the majority of people do not think cryptocurrencies are a scam, are crypto hangouts, and places where they haven't heard about cryptos at all.
Not to mention the amount of people who think this is about notepad.
Depending on the jobs, also Google, Microsoft, etc...
I am merely trying to find out why China is in vogue, why not NK, Russia, Syria, Sri Lanka etc.
Scale.
Hear hear. Obviously this site should be shut down. But it should be done so on basis of fair trial. Not because of mob justice, or corporations that answer only to shareholders.
They don't need everyone to comply, just the vast majority.
The way they explain themselves sounds like NIMBY. I doubt it's about safety.
Recently, I used it for book/Author recommendations. At first I also used it for coding, but now I just ask it to explain concepts to me (what's the difference between... / what are some ways to approach...)
Basically how non-tech people thought search engines worked at the beginning of this century.
...so far.
For those that don't mind self-hosting, which can be as easy as just running syncthing or resilio sync on your NAS, I can really recommend keepass.
Can you give a real life example of that being applied?
Have a good weekend ;)
In effect, not really.
All the communities you're subscribed to will now also have to push all their updates (posts, comments, upvotes) to your server, even when you're not interacting with Lemmy.
As someone else mentioned, it would only be efficient once you have a decent (hard to pinpoint) amount of users on your server.
I'm a bit torn about this. On one hand I fully agree with you, let them stew in their filth. But on the other hand: I still have to live in a society where people who have been indoctrinated by their filter bubble get to vote.
Then on the first hand again: messing with their freedom of speech because I disagree with it is fucked up. It's complicated.
I'll give you one reason where Firefox blows chrome out of the water: multi account containers:
That way you can seamlessly have multiple accounts for a specific site open side by side (for example, your work and your personal mail with the same mail provider). Especially amazing if you're an IT contractor who works for multiple clients.
