[Solved] What just happened to 4 million posts?
(feddit.uk)
Stats from here: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats
Like, has an instance gone down and if so, why hasn't there been a comparable drop in users and comments?
Edit: Thanks to @example@reddthat.com here for pointing to zerobytes.monster becoming more aggressive against bots as the likely culprit.
It may have been lemmy.zip
It did in fact go down for about 48 hours... prompting me to make this new account on dbzer0.
Basically, the admin attempted to update to a newer lemmy version... and it failed, multiple times, and they just rolled back, restored the old version, posted an explanation and apology, and they'll be further looking into ... exactly what went wrong.
Is divide by zero becoming the most based instance? How did a single bro make best lemmy?!?
I'd say dbzer0 is probably the most leftist, at least from what I've seen. I personally don't go as far as being an anarchist but can appreciate the philosophy. I probably have more in common with anarchy than democratic/plurality governance, if I'm being honest with myself.
Lately I've been seeing a lot of comments coming from that instance that are indistinguishable from the ones I see from .ml.
Clarification: Representative/Capitalist democracy. Not all types of democracy.
I'm not familiar with it
While this seems better than a lot of others, these types of systems are very easily manipulated by mass media, so functioning inside capitalism is already a massive problem. In any case it's difficult to judge the efficacy, only with one rich protected nation as an example. The biggest thing is that labour is pacified a lot by a high standard of living, which is supported by the imperialism of the other nations supporting them.
But zip has < 50K posts.
Maybe they unzipped the archive? /S
