Buy the dip!!!

I like how someone put it in another thread. From the "defederaters," The argument most seen is: "if there's a nazi at the table and you say nothing, it's a table full of nazis." The most common counter-argument is "it's actually like a stadium full of people with some nazi's in the corner jerking themselves off." From the "federators," the most common argument is "defederation defeats decentralization," and the most common counter to this is simply: "fuck off nazi!"

I find the whole situation quite extraordinary to see unfold and be a part of.

The thing with piracy these days is there is a huge fear of legal burden AND extreme protectiveness to prevent takedowns. It's the same thing as being a gang member and suspicious of new blood being undercover cops. Once you find actual piracy that works, the last thing you want to do is post publicly about it!

• Should we/let's defederate with X?

I want this to happen, and then all of the admins join together to block API requests from the Reddit instance and redirect to pay-per-use API gateway.

Alternative title: CEO of failing company makes shocking statement in order to attract investors.

He might believe this but developers aren’t going anywhere. Development is just becoming more abstract. This has happened in fits since forever.

Was talking to my non-techie wife yesterday and she asked what I was working on. I said "replacing reddit." I explained the reddit situation and then we talked about alternative social networking and I was shocked she knew what Mastodon was AND said a lot of people were moving there!

We should just use second notation for everything.

I’ll be there in 5 min? I’ll be there in 2 or 3 hundo!

See you tommorow? See you in in 86K!

Next week? About half a Megasec!

Doesn’t Megasecond sound better than Fortnite?

When you create that instance, do you immediately need to download and store all the data that has ever been posted to all federated Lemmy instances?

Run my own instance. @Candelestine@lemmy.world is right but there are more details. Federation is not a "sync." When your instance needs to fetch from another instance it will, but it does not get history. You can get a specific comment or post from any time however.

Or perhaps you only need to download and store everything that is posted to the federated Lemmy instances from that point forward?

This is not by default either. Only communities that your users subscribe to will be updated by their "origin" instances.

Or better yet, do you only store what the users on that instance do (i.e. their posts, and posts to the communities hosted on that instance)?

This does happen, but it also stores what your users do on remote instances as well as "copies" of what they interact with. Images (currently the only media hosted by lemmy servers) are linked to thier "origin" as well. So you are storing text of posts and comments.

Crab people.. crab people.. 🎵

Join an instance that does not allow local communities. Then you can subscribe remotely to whatever you want and block whatever you don't.

At least we get lemmy flavoured drama. It's not as bitter as Reddit's.

Hi! I’m Linda, an AI representative from your HR department!

I heard you’re unhappy with your organization’s new Subject Matter Office for Lifestyle, People and Purpose, or SMOLPP.

It’s natural to be afraid of something new like your SMOLPP, but companies big and small across the planet are happy with their SMOLPP! I’ll send you some world class research material from Deloitte (your organization’s SMOLPP innovation partner, and industry leader) for you to read later!

I’m happy to listen to your comments and concern, or answer any questions you might have about your SMOLPP!

So how can I help you?

NSA Access Only!

Donate to the Lemmy project, but also look at donating to your instance / instance admin. It ain't free to host and operate this stuff.

That is exactly what that means and it's frustrating to say the least, because it's not clear that's what's happening.

Agree! Next step is preventing “Lemmy” and “Lemmy.world” being the same thing. :(

They defaced it with dicks and changed the federation list to be only threads.net. I don't think it was a state sponsored chinese hacking group. :)

I don't know if you're trying to be funny or not but that is pretty funny. Those poor reporters thinking "how convenient! they obviously know what is wrong because it's right here in the list!" But it's there to make it easy to sort into the trash.
