There has to be a better way to keep the strengths of federating without partitioning the community smaller and smaller until there is no community left.

Can you imagine Lemmy with a similar amount of Reddit users? Anytime you'd post, you'd have to replicate it between X number of instances (for visibility). Conversations would be fragemented and duplicated, votes would be duplicated. To me this almost sounds like "work"...

There has to be something better.

For example, instead of "every instance is an island". Meaning the current hierarchy is "instance" - > "community" - > "post" - > "threads". We could instead have "community (ie: asklemmy)" - > "post (ie: this post)" - > "instance (Lemmy.ml, Lemmy.world, etc)" - > "threads (this comment)".

From a technical perspective, it would mean that each instance would replicate the community names and posts. Which is already beginning done (this post is a perfect example), but as long as each instance would share a unique identifier to associate the two communities/posts as "the same thing" (and this could simply be the hash of the community /post name). Everything else would be UX. Each instance would take ownership of the copy of the community and post, which means they could moderate it according to their standards.

I fixed the link. For some reason the Lemmy Client (Voyager) keeps generating '.ml' links (even though I'm on Lemm.ee)

This whole identical thread really confused Voyager, I thought I was seeing double.

Off-topic: Lemmy really needs better crosspost functionality.

Lemmy is a small group of people, let's not divide it further by having the exact same conversation in two (or more) places.

edit: Fixed the link.

I don't have anything meaningful to add, other than my sincere gratitude to you for posting this.

I haven't laughed so hard in a good while.

Sure, they could block based on your VPN provider, but they're probably also using Deep Packet Inspection .

The ELI5 verson: It's possible to just "watch" your traffic and notice that it's not the "normal" https traffic (which is the most common traffic) . This can be done by finger printing the request itself or just watching the amount of traffic. For example if you "visit" a website, but upload and download 3 megabytes of data and it takes 15 minutes to send/receive that data... well, that looks suspicious... and depending on the country, you may have some people knocking on your door.

Begins?!? Docker Inc was waist deep in enshittification the moment they started rate limiting docker hub, which was nearly 3 or 4 years ago.

This is just another step towards the deep end. Companies that could easily move away from docker hub, did so years ago. The companies that remain struggle to leave and will continue to pay.

All aboard the gold train!

Innevitably whatever public transportation you use the route will end up in the ghetteo.

This is a mindset that many people in the U.S. will need to get over before the "quality" of public transport improves: that busses, trains, subways are for "the poor".

I've been on the subways in New York and busses and trains elsewhere in the States. They're gross. Especially, compared to most of Europe (Italy, Denmark, Germany, etc). In Asia, they're also a clean. The mindset in Asia and Europe is "this is what people (not just the poor) take to get from point A to point B". There aren't school busses, the kids just take the same city bus/train/subway that all the other people take to get to work.

I've spent 45 minutes in the States on my daily commute staring at (and riding on) the bumper of the car in front of me. I've also spent 45 minutes, in Europe, peacefully riding the subway to work. I'm able to surf the web, watch a video, relax. I definitely enjoy/recommend the later experience.

Since you asked:

1. The bot provides little "value" vs the noise it creates.

I don't need a bot to tell me that the BBC is a legit news source. Maybe if you flip it around and only publish a message if it's a known scammy website, this might be less spammy. However, this "threshold for scamminess" would be very subjective.

2. This bot is everywhere. This is closely related to the first point ("value" vs noise). It just sprang up one day and I saw it in every single thread, I'd read.

Fortunately, most Lemmy clients allow blocking users - which I've done and I'm much happier with my Lemmy experience.

Epic gave it away a few months ago.

As others said, it's heavily story driven (which I found quiet entertaining). The combat had the potential for some strategy, but ultimately I just went with button smashing (it would have been more engaging if there was a meaningful combo system - the one that's present in the game is kinda awkward)

The big problem, I have with the game, is the game saving bugs. I spent ~20 hours, goofying around, having fun. Defeated "the final boss"...

..and I couldn't find a save game that wasn't corrupted. So, I just watched YouTube :(

Seriously, your professionalism in handling the situation and in reporting it is fantastic.

It's totally above and beyond anything we should expect for a service powered by donations!

Thank you!
