I know you could see the aurora all over the place but did it actually cause any damage anywhere?

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 49 points 6 months ago

As far as I'm aware, it caused some temporary GPS interruptions but no permanent damage this time.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

I was traveling across the state on those two days, so I was worried about GPS getting weird, but we didn't have any issues.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 4 points 6 months ago

From what I read it affected some farming equipment, I figure it was relatively local interference and not a global thing too.

This came up in my feed.

Apparently it "disrupted" Starlink, but hasn't permanently destroyed any of their satellites like the CME in 2022 did.

[-] Noodle07@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Wish I could have seen it :(

Just gonna put this album here.

edit: Well, I'm surprised this got downvoted considering the entire theme of the album is a CME knocking out telecommunications and computer systems on earth leading to a total collapse of human society. Just a fun thing I came across and was reminded of with all the solar flare memes lately.

Gotta love the censorship in a science community.

Exhibit A

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 29 points 6 months ago

If you'd like to see gore porn spam, there are other places for that lmao.

[+] ModsAreCopsACAB@lemm.ee -27 points 6 months ago

I wouldn't. But it's censorship, how am I supposed to know since it's literally censored. There's no reason listed as to why.

[-] Edge004@lemm.ee 31 points 6 months ago

Look at the usernames. They are very concerning

[-] ModsAreCopsACAB@lemm.ee 7 points 6 months ago

Did not notice that.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 13 points 6 months ago

I'm one of the Admins who removed that content - it was your average snuff and sexual mutilation spam, if you would like to see more of that kind of thing then the Internet is that way 👉

If you are ever curious about post removal you can always check the modlog, which is this way 👇

[-] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 9 points 6 months ago

Thank you admins, for keeping me from haphazardly tapping something I likely couldn't unsee and would haunt my nightmares. 🙏

Glad there's people actively keeping Lemmy communities from becoming the wretched corners of the dark web.

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 8 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Haha, we gotta protect the next generation from downloading the wrong entersandman.mp4 on Kazaa.

[-] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 3 points 6 months ago

You got my laugh as I've unfortunately had that exact experience just trying to check out silly pre-youtube video shares like AMVs and stuff. Poor teenaged me! 😭

Wild times.

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I have a Pavlovian response to the first few bars of Funky Town, where I just turn off the device as fast as I can. 😅

[-] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 2 points 6 months ago

Clicking a prank link from my immature friends gave me the same response to "You spin me round (like a record)" 🤢 IYKYK lol.

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 16 points 6 months ago

Enlighten us on the delightful things those usernames might say across several threads at the same time.

[-] ModsAreCopsACAB@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

Just in case you don't see my reply to someone else... I missed the usernames entirely. My bad.

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 14 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Also, these did have removal reasons. FYI: Mod logs are open on Lemmy. Check the bottom right sidebar and click on mod logs. It should be the last link on the sidebar. Mods probably won't label comments outright here as some did on Reddit, as the feature is open. Here are the logs for this community, assuming you are on mobile: https://mander.xyz/modlog/27914. If you see "nuke," I am separating bickering chatters. :) 1 page of logs is pretty good for the active userbase numbers, so hats off to @sal@mander.xyz. I do not think we can edit these after the fact (? if so, Sal can you change that "bring" to "nuke" lmao).

You'll see we do not remove much, and mostly, it's spam or breaking up fights. I'm just here to pick up the spilled cups after the party ends and I like to let people talk out their differences. Our server is quite small, so sometimes it takes time to sync removals, etc. If it is blank via your server in the future, you may need to visit the community's homeserver page instead, if that makes sense, as things have not caught up. I tend not to remove things because life is complicated, and sometimes you just need a damnit doll, and that is kind of our role at times. And frankly, I think communities should develop organically like the old days.
