Top one is Voyager for me but right below that is Lemmy world

That’s not at all the problem here, no

It has now been finalized as of yesterday, from what I understand. Previously it was a work-in-progress policy change they were still unsure about, and now it’s decided that this is the way going forward.

I reckon sadly at least part of the reason will be that they are in a partnership with OpenAI, and feeding generated stuff into a GenAI breaks the model, so they need to keep SO as non-AI as possible.

Okay, and how would you address it? The limitation is easy to criticize when you can think in a vacuum about it. But in the real world, we’d need to find a way to change things that can actually be implemented by everyone.

Which usually means transformative change.

This is from 6 months ago. Yeah we all heard about it, so where is it?!

Thanks for these two summary posts, very awesome.

I really did not have Balatro crossovers or a new Coffee Talk on my bingo card but damn, excited for both!

Curmudgeons will go to astounding lengths to make themselves feel marginally less miserable by trying to hand off some of their own misery.

Apparently it’s based on the fact that the colour reminded people of the bacon used in mouse traps. Although it’s a bit unclear, it could also play into things that the first company to sell marshmallows en masse in Germany used mice-shaped ones.

Psalm, yes. But “calm” or “balm” are actually pronounced more like “caam” or “baam” in many situations.

Yeah well, that’s how the grift gets you. You know what a purely placebo sugar pill is called that everyone agrees is a placebo? Well… a placebo!

My country calls it “mice bacon” (Mäusespeck). 😅

Here in Germany it’s more or less the best service. UPS is costly and unless you need highly insured parcels is annoying because they don’t even deliver on Saturdays.

Meanwhile Hermes is alright but they kick parcels around really badly, even more so than usual. DPD is similar but even worse, but hey, cheap in return so if you got something that’s resistant they’re an okay choice.

I mean if nothing else, the need for it has just utterly collapsed. Even in a largely still print-driven country like Germany.

Parcels, that’s an entirely different thing. And you will notice that DHL, UPS, they all do at-home pickup. Or DHL and Hermes have drop of spots in what feels like every single little kiosk, bakery or ice cream parlor.

But mail? Actual, proper, snail-mail? That’s mostly on the way out, actually. It’s no longer a big need for virtually anybody. Most people I know check their physical mailbox at most once a week, sometimes once a month (since invoices arrive monthly usually).

Why did the Lemmy instances stopped upgrading the version they use?

They’ve done prod deployments in real life before and hence no longer believe in CD?

Both one off from the superior hexagon. The bestagon.

Sure, but as long as modding is a volunteer position that won’t change. If for no other reason that like you say, it’s not a position that motivates you to investigate reports.

Couple that with how toxic and negative Lemmy is overall, and it doesn’t surprise me that the raw volume of reports will lead to a very high amount of “yeah, sure” bans with mininal investigation.

Plus the last part wasn’t meant as a “join in” thing, rather, if you desire an instance that does not abide by bad moderation, the fediverse puts the onus on you to create that instance. Everyone is free to do so, within some limitations such as - and that’s a very very valid thing - a need for adequate moderation tools.

That’s not a quick-start guide, that’s a novel.

Really, I need citations for a post that already provides an example?

The citation needed is about you saying its both rampant and oppressive, something the server logs don’t provide data for.

That’s actually a part of the problem. The complete lack of responsibility or accountability for anyone on here. Like it or not all it takes is a handful of self-righteous admins to ruin it for the entire platform. What you tout as a Good is quite the opposite in the long run.

But how is that different from any other website? Someone owns them, either an individual or a group. Naturally, they can just about do whatever they desire, including pulling the plug. And more specifically, how would you change that. Especially because:

1. You still need moderation and administration. If for no other reason than should you grow big enough, you got obligations to provide this in regards to illegal, hateful and discriminatory speech and disinformation in the EU.
2. Any moderation will sooner or later upset the moderated person.
3. Any arbitration for this will inevitably come upon a case - see this thread - where it makes someone else partisan to either side.

So you’ll have this problem anyways. No matter what you do. With Lemmy in particular… run your own instance if you desire full control of moderation. That’s what you get that way. Just be aware that there’s a solid chance someone will be unhappy with your moderation at some point. Inevitably.

In this particular case, it adds to the problem that naturally if you ask one side of a dispute whether they think it’s fair or not, they might be sliiiiiiightly biased…
