  • And how many people answer that on Sunday night?

    What I’m getting at is a major website has at least a skeleton staff that can do something, even if that’s just pulling the plug.

    I don’t even reply to most work texts after hours unless it’s someone saying they have to use sick leave. I don’t expect people hosting Lemmy as a hobby to be on call 24/7.

    But I hope afterwards they’re transparent about what happened and how they’re going to stop it from happening again. If not, it’s easy to hop instances


  • What impact?

    As long as you dont go on lemmy.world, it’s not going to redirect you to all the stupid websites.

    And I doubt whatever they’re posting (if they’re posting anything) is getting upvoted, so you won’t see it anywhere else.

    And where are you getting “malware” from?

    People are acting like it’s some crazy hack, and not the 4chan rejects from exploding heads finally guessing an admins password a week after they got defederated. And after all that time chasing the mailman, they had no idea what to do when they guessed it

    But this does highlight an issue with instances. I doubt the handful of admins know each other. Like, maybe an email, but for the most part if shit like this happens during “off hours” it might be a while before the top admin even knows there’s an issue


  • Is there any problem with the statement that the far-left is trash and sucked as much as the far-right?

    Only if you don’t have an issue lying, if you’re fine with lying, I guess you wouldn’t have an issue saying that…

    Ever heard of horseshoe theory?

    Yeah, it’s that thing trumpers and “moderates” constantly talk about. There’s no logic or facts to back it up, but they sure love repeating it.

    I have a question tho, why are your only two comments talking about how “nazis aren’t really that bad”?










  • Volume, and diversity of opinions.

    On Reddit I browsed “new” or “rising” and just subs I was subscribed too was enough for a steady stream of content.

    On Lemmy even including all instances, there’s not a whole lot on “new”.

    Which is good, because it makes it easier to find communities to subscribe too and also the problematic ones so you can block them and never see them again.

    But low users mean most communities are dead. There’s a Fantasy Football sub for example, there’s 3 other people on it tho, so it won’t really be very useful this season.






  • Twitter will abide by the law but will not go further, Musk said during the interview. He claimed hate speech had decreased by 30 percent since he took over, even as Lapix presented him with statistics saying the opposite — including a study by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue exposing a 105 percent increase in antisemitic posts.

    Pressed by the interviewer, the billionaire, a self-proclaimed freedom of expression absolutist, said the definition of hate speech shouldn’t be too broad or it could lead to censorship. Shown tweets rejoicing about the migrant boat disaster off Greece last week, Musk conceded they were “distasteful” but should remain online as long as they’re not illegal.

    His definition of hate speech is just shit he disagrees with.

    He agrees with anti-lgtbq and antisemitism, so to him, that’s not hate speech
