I had it set to localtime instead of UTC, which for me is -5 hours. Caused me a bit of grief earlier today after making a new post that started out already five hours old!
It seems like a real pickle though. What if I set my time to a year in the future and make a post? Would that post stay at the top of new all year? I guess lemmy should use the received date rather than what is sent but that could be problematic when things are bogged down or having federation issues.
@danQuix0te sorry, I shouldn't have deleted my comment. Still trying to get the time thing sorted out.
It should, but the quality of the image would be lowered doing it that way.
It kinda looks like a really purple Lyreleaf Sage: https://littleprinceplants.com/our-plants/perennials/salvia-lyrata-purple-volcano-lyreleaf-sage/
I'm no expert, but that looks like it could be a Canna lily, probably just called arrowroot locally:https://media.sciencephoto.com/image/b7400814/800wm/B7400814-Canna_lily_leaves_Canna_x_generalis_.jpg

In one of Ernest's posts last week he mentioned that account deletions need to be handled manually for now. I'm not sure how long it takes him to work through through the queue, but he mentioned in the post that if for some reason you need that done sooner you can send him an email through the contact form starting with "DELETE MY ACCOUNT" so he can prioritize that.
You know, the funny thing is that might actually work! There are things that LLMs are made to censor that real humans would still be be able to talk about. Granted, most those things would probably get us in trouble or put on a list, so I'm not sure how feasible that would be Maybe a decent idea would be if we could all pick a 'safe-word' out of those things that could be used to tell humans from bots.
Unfortunately they seem to have already been doing that as well. There was a thread in r/programming before the blackout where people were commenting about the number of other comments that were in opposition to the blackout. The whole thread was filled with people finding that most of them were LLM bots:

I doubt Reddit would use bots for German opinions
Well, about that...: https://web.archive.org/web/20230607173747/https://old.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/13p889x/reddit_admins_were_just_caught_using_bots_or_fake/
You might have better luck using sites like:

UTC now. Am I still the ghost of federation's past?
Edit: seems so?
