Man there’s literally only one thing stopping me from using mastodon and that’s likes.

I know marketing, and shit, and likes sometimes skew things, but without likes any toot is given the same weight, no matter if it’s a good or bad toot. There’s no way for me to see through the chaos that emerges from this.

I know there are reasons not to do this, but I damn well know I’m not the only one, and I’m sure it would make it more appealing for a lot of ppl unfamiliar with mastodon. You could even make it optional so ppl can turn it off and there would be no harm done.

Omg that was the Reddit client I used

All my dreams are coming true. This was worth seeing Reddit crash and burn. Yes. I like this new age.

wtf

isn’t that censorship and therefore not conforming with EU laws? I might be wrong here but I just can’t see this having a solid legal basis.

I don’t actually know what bad actors can do.

Well, you’re not gonna like this but every pentesting / vulnerability scan starts with a port scan. It’s really there to probe a PC for anything interesting. Although it’s not strictly illegal because you’re just kindly asking a PC to handover any meta information on what is currently running on the PC exposed to the internet, the trajectory is clear and in the contrast the goal is opaque which makes it shady af.

oh god you’re right - it will be the ultimate hung jury and it will be annoying af.

the good thing is, in the current climate I can’t see Trump getting reelected.

considering they have employees saying their CEO needs to go, they are randomly banning users who post things approved by mods and in line with tos, they are banning even the most slimey mods for no reason and the CEO is putting out infinite inflammatory statements in a row, I’m sure the atmosphere in which the admins work is somewhere between -3 and -53.

and all of those things are from news just this week. So of course we’ll never know how much the admins are fucking up, but considering all of these things it’s like gardening in a tornado. I honestly wouldn’t put it on them; can’t assume they’re all the same as the CEO.

and it is those mythical lizards with just above average intelligence that we need to fear.

unfortunately liftoff is not at all working for me currently.

I logged in and now my subscribed community posts are just empty, which is the whole point.

I do wanna see where they go tho.

don’t worry, they’re coming. a bunch of bigger third party app Devs have said they will make an app for Lemmy, and that will include iOS apps as well I’m sure. it’s just a matter of time.

unfortunately my dad who has a diploma in engineering and is working in that field for probably 30y now is still prone to it.

Whoever spread those conspiracies should die a slow and painful death to experience a fraction of what they brought on to a lot of families and friends.

…and this is why you don’t betray the mercenaries you hire.

Very interesting

I knew something was brewing but for Russia to go ham on Wagner Group means either they are really desperate, or Wagner Group fucked them up in midst of their power struggle so they have a vendetta.

I am not a tactician so idk what that means for the war but I presume confidence morale in Russia is sinking even more and they suscept themselves to more sabotage.

Definitely should put that on the git issues with log files and stuff.

That’s way too respectful for poo the bear who loves holding minorities in detention camps.

Any guidelines? AI allowed? Size requirements?

I’m probably not gonna make one but asking so other ppl have the info.

Tbf since trump even a trash panda would make have a good impact on the US if it became president. Trump kind of stole our expectations of what a competent president should look like.

that is giving me deja vu

he already hinted to pulling out of EU Code of Practice

I’m very interested what his game plan is, because he kind fucked himself by firing too many law compliance employees, at least thats what I remember.

I am itching so much for the perfect episode of John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight commemorating the most absurd but effective protest in histor, sounding off the whole mess of a situation and poking some more at spez. It’ll be a feast.

That is incredible. It’s hilarious, it’s satirical, it’s a sharp criticism and it absolutely hammers the stupidity of every Reddit statement home.

What a great team.

I have good feeling for the effects on environment tbh, because it changes a lot of ethical and environmental concerns. Some of them will definitely be gone for good.
