Banned from lemmy.ml for suggesting spam was Russia
Saw a post saying some shitty Christian lemmy instance was spamming bullshit on one of their latest posts, I said something along the lines of “probably Russians”. Come to find out my comment was removed and I was banned… then to find out they effectively have a CCP agent running town… lol.
I’ve seen people mention they were a garbage instance, now I know why! They said I broke rule 1 … this might just be the app I’m using but they don’t even have any fucking rules to look at lmao.
Glad they did the work for me and made it easy to avoid them.

Reddit admins repeatedly asked mods how to make like for them better. And then repeatedly ignored almost every single answer they got, rolling out features nobody wanted and taking away things people used. It was the years and years and years of putting in hours and hours of time working against the enshittification that made me tired, and then it was the stupid fucking over-reaching AI moderation that caused me to leave after my accounts started being banned for no good reason with appeals failing.
It took far too long for them to drive me away, as I know it did for a lot of others.

they ovvereached with thier AI-moderation/filtering bans, so now theres even less content. AI isnt finding reddit useful to scrape anymore, because they are getting Ai content instead.

I think it was experimental negative social engineering that, over time, got worse. Then the advertising overlords started to break through.

Just amused by the juxtaposition, obviously they weren’t contradicting you (or replying to you). lol.
I’m easily amused. :)

I don’t know Cyrillic but assuming google translate got this translated right: I was honestly more shocked that they popped me so quick, if anything.
Usually, they at least try and put up a facade of freedom of speech. To get the psychological walls down and all that, you know?

🆕 Copy Sanitized Link
Links often carry tracking parameters that tell a site who shared them and where they came from. Copy Sanitized Link strips those out before the link reaches your clipboard, so the person you send it to gets the page and nothing else. It’s an easy habit that keeps a bit more of your browsing to yourself.

@davidgerard This sounds horribly like a planet sized boiler room scam coming up to the roiling boil just in time for a Christmas boiler explosion.
@raichoo it's a mix. Lots of people are using the white space syntax exclusively. Others in a mixed state with the other one, so mixing it with {}. Others use the new end markers... You know absolute freedom and silliness. Some disable the white space syntax and use the other one.
Even at work, for me, it's not consistent, something small some people put no {} others use () like on a .map, so .map() or .map{}, since now () also supports multilines inside 🤣🤣.
The rest is fine.
@vascorsd Yeah, that's my usual gripe with languages supporting too many way to express the same thing. I mean, I kind of get they "why", but you need to specify rather explicit guidelines inside a team so that it doesn't end up a complete mess. And as always, things like "how things look" are discussed way more aggressively than stuff that actually matters.

Also, is a 2 day ban really worthy of an indignant post like this?
Yes. Why is this even a question when we all know it’s part of a bigger trend with that awful instance?

size is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
cross-posted from: feddit.org/post/37870004
reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).
the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.
another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.
size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.
@cy @Vivaldi oh no a scammer? let me help @Vivaldi we need 2 remove this #scammer from the #FediBlock verse
I’m taking a class that requires reading music notation,. I’m looking for accessible software to help. I know some Braille music and have a Braille display. I’m also comfortable using screen readers. I use Windows11 and Linux, so I’m open to options on either.
My teacher currently uses paper worksheets and hasn’t used notation software before. I’d appreciate suggestions that would make it easy for him to provide materials in an accessible format he could send. What software would you recommend?
Sorry, the app encountered an unexpected error
