I would highly encourage anyone who feels sympathetic to this comment to read through the comment history and modlog of the person who made it before voting.
Combative, promoting violence, and generally using the Palestinian crisis to universally bash anyone they disagree with about anything while also derailing unrelated conversations. But yeah, it's the mods who are the problem. ๐
It would make a difference is all I'm saying.
Perfect and better are not mutually exclusive concepts.
If people would at least just check the community they're posting to, it would help immensely.
Added emphasis to previous statement.
It's a conspiracy, bud. Trying to keep the truth down!
OR....there's like 300 duplicates of the exact same thing because everyone thinks they're CNN and the first to break the story and the mods are cleaning up.
Take your pick.
I thought that would be different here, but sadly is not. lol

Good truly unpopular opinion, and mostly good discussion on the points made. That said, I think pretty much all the points that were going to be made have been made. Locking thread.
I've been using this one a bit more during these federation backups. I can't really adopt it as my daily driver, though. My home instance is the one I run, so I tend to favor it. lol
If my instance ever gets sync'd back up where I can interact in something approximating real-time, I may make that happen lol.
Oh, I was just lamenting that such a garbage post is contributing to the backlog because of the activities it generates (which LW has to federate out since its "owns" the community this was posted in). Basically a potshot at a low-effort, shit take of a post.
It's a Lemmy thing. Basically latency limits the maximum number of activities that can be sent per second (they're sent like TCP: serially, and each must be acknowledged). When LW has a LOT of activities to send out, they can get backlogged if there's significant latency between LW and other federated servers.
That's the gist of it, anyway.
At least you have them. We don't :'(
