Edit: Ugh, autocorrect changed “with” to “without” so I fixed it. I hate it when my machine silently changes the entire meaning of my sentence to its exact opposite!

Shit like this is why I never use autocorrect. I'd rather have a few typos that a completely butchered sentence.

Edit: But somehow, I keep making mistakes that look like I used autocorrect. IDK what's going on there.

My password manager doesn't have network functions and I use Linux, so that's rather unlikely. If my device got infected with malware (keyloggers etc.), I doubt the difference between one really good password and 20 good passwords that I somehow remember would matter.

1 really good password (for your password manager) > 20 passwords only good enough if the software can prevent bruteforcing

Is saying "LINO" ("Labour in name only") a thing yet?

"Pinkwashing" is a popular term among tankies when an argument comes up about countries they like being anti-LGBT+, or countries they don't like being less anti-LGBT+.

Thanks. Yeah, pretty reasonable comment. Interesting how even the reply from the dbzer0 user completely misses the point.

I need some context for db0's comment.

Both mods are also moderators of announcements@discuss.online; they are admins, this is their instance, and they are engaging in vote tampering to boost their instance and its communities over the rest of the fediverse.

Yesterday, there was a bot that made a ton of posts in different communities. The mods of ttrrpg.network banned that user, and about 20 other people were also banned from several communities each on ttrpg.network (including me) with the reason given "Account used to boost spambot account" (for me it was all the communities on that server that I was subscribed to, but I wasn't actually banned from the instance):

The mods also made a pinned post in that sub (it's unpinned now) where they explain their reasoning some more:

Just got done investigating a spambot we had earlier, and it looks like they used a lot of compromised accounts on other instances to give their post an initial upvote boost. If you don’t already, please remember to use a good strong password.

I do remember interacting with at least one post from that bot, to me it looked fairly innocuous until I looked at the sheer volume of posts they made since the account was created. I assume that I'd notice if my account was hijacked, especially while I was still actively browsing lemmy, and my password is certainly not easily to bruteforce or guess. I also took a look at the profiles of the other users who were banned, there were quite a few who were still posting or commenting after they were banned from rpgmemes - none of those profiles looked suspicious to me, and many of the ones who didn't post or comment anything since then just weren't that active in the first place.

Frankly, I don't believe that any of those banned accounts were actually hacked. It looks to me like the mods just banned everyone who interacted with that bot. I understand that spambots are a big issue that is difficult to solve, but fediverse mods and admins need to be a lot more precise with dealing with that than this - the cure can't be worse than the poison.

I did message one community mod of rpgmemes and one of the server admins about this, but neither got back to me.

tfw you live with your parents, the door isn't locked (could be dumbness, or parents being shitty about locked doors, as seen by mother entering the room without knocking), your screen is facing the door, it's daytime, your mom is at home a lot and doesn't knock and you're drawing extra-spicy porn

anon is an idiot.

That would have been the first thing I'd check ... seems standard practice.

Rich people want you to focus on people who can't defend themselves well, so you're looking away while the rich people are stealing money from you.

If THAT is what counts as "being treated like a dog", woof woof!

the currywurst — fried veal sausage topped with ketchup and curry powder

Who the hell told this person that Currywurst is made with veal? The standard is pork. And it's grilled, not fried.
