I'm looking at that apostrophe
I’m trying to think of a non technical analogy for what is happening. It’s like there’s a new supervillain who isn’t super strong or super smart, but his super power is just knowing the most embarrassing thing every company has ever swept under the rug for twenty years.
@hacks4pancakes I think of it as like a Maginot line. We fortified the parts that we thought worth defending and didn't think anyone would come through the forest because the forest is hard work to get through, and suddenly the AI are attacking all the weak points, all the places we didn't think were worth securing, all at once.
@mdiluz I meant like adding an additional smaller network for the IoT devices but sure 😂
@hardpenguin13 what if a turtle got to those?

One can take this lightly (I usually do), but in reality these people are a danger to the entire fediverse.

We know…
Just amused by the juxtaposition, obviously they weren’t contradicting you (or replying to you). lol.
I’m easily amused. :)
Early 2000s, I was sacked from a small manufacturing company for first time lateness. In retaliation, I whistle-blew to the Health and Safety Executive and the Environment Agency.The impact was a couple of hefty fines that led to the collapse of the company. I never wanted that.
@fesshole Well, sure, but that begs the question if, since the fines were that hefty, was that business supposed to be in operation in the first place? You may have made the employees' life more difficult because they had to find a new job, but you may just as well have saved someone's life.

"Continuous food deprivation and weight loss, repeated beatings and injuries, with inadequate medical care, can definitely cost Dr Abu Safiya his life,” Tirosh said.
“According to PHRI records, more than 100 prisoners died in Israeli facilities between 2023 and 2025 … a threat to his life unfortunately cannot be ruled out.”

In fact I hear that lately PieFed.social even applies a user-level instance block against Lemmy.ml by default for all new joiners
I don’t think this is true. I looked through the code and the only specific mentions of lemmy.ml are in the instance chooser, where it won’t show you the full defed list of an instance, but (I’m guessing) only the most commonly defederated.
The default interests list even includes some lemmy.ml communities.
I could be wrong though. @rimu@piefed.social probably knows for sure ;)
piefed.social (the instance, not PieFed the software) applies a block and sends a custom private message to new users by using a plugin: https://codeberg.org/wjs018/piefed_onboarding

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.

Former Haitian President Michel Joseph Martelly hired an American lobbying firm to lobby federal authorities to seek a review of the sanctions imposed on him by Washington in August 2024.
Since the assassination of Jovenel Moïse in 2021, successive Haitian governments have spent more than US$2.7 million on lobbying activities in the US - according to figures compiled by Jake Johnston, an analyst familiar with these expenditures who was contacted by AyiboPost.

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.
