I don't think your representation of the situation is fair.

Imagine there is someone that cares about everything an equal amount.

Meaning that they care about every person, animal, plant, microbe, rock, etc. equally. They take all of their values at equal consideration (including their own).

How would they react to one thing harming/oppressing another (like a parasite harming its host or invasive species crowding out native species)?

How would they help one thing if they knew it would harm/oppress another thing?

Also let's say for the sake of argument they don't

  • Sacrifice themselves to help something else out
  • Kill themselves due to analysis paralysis

Ok so Trump has been elected president. I honestly don't care whether it is the fault of the people that are constantly bickering online or the DNC platform.

To me all that matters is what are you going to do next.

Trump has outlined a plan, Agenda 47, and is probably in cahoots with the people that made Project 2025. They have spelled out every horrible thing they are going to do.

How are you individually planning to help stop/curtail these efforts?

Sabotaging oil rigs, stopping the destruction of abortion clinics, DIY medicine, guerilla gardening, etc.

The actions don't have to be big, but we are currently in the position that the people who lived under Hitler went through can we please not take this sitting down.

Map of 2000+ lemmy communities (danterious.codeberg.page)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by Danterious@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/fediverse@lemmy.ml

This is my first try at creating a map of lemmy. I based it on the overlap of commentors that visited certain communities.

I only used communities that were on the top 35 active instances for the past month and limited the comments to go back to a maximum of August 1 2024 (sometimes shorter if I got an invalid response.)

I scaled it so it was based on percentage of comments made by a commentor in that community.

Here is the code for the crawler and data that was used to make the map:

Instead of focusing of creating good algorithms to push certain content to users why don't we focus on creating a good map that allows users to find the kind of content they want more easily?

I found this website that created a map of reddit with different countries for different topics and I thought it would translate to lemmy because instances sort of do this already really well.

pages.dev link spamming (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

There are about 6 pages.dev domains spamming lemmy.world communities

The volume is definitely inorganic, and is across a wide range of communities

pages.dev is Cloudflare's site hosting which can be used for free - there are likely many legitimate sites that use that domain, but the current flood is suspicious

chronicleresolve.pages.dev

thefreedomproject.pages.dev

versarch.pages.dev

dailypulse.pages.dev

newssphere-6fu.pages.dev

iniko.pages.dev

miniza.pages.dev

orino.pages.dev

I'm cross posting because @lenny_marlane@lemmy.ml seems to be doing the same thing.

It might be an attack vector or something idk but better safe than sorry.

Not sure about this one but seems to be following same pattern.

I saw this and thought this would be useful in noticing and analyzing trends across the web and fediverse in specific. Which could help with noticing and finding disinformation.

I guess we are going to be in for more SEO spam than usual if this document is accurate. But I think its good that we are finally going to get a better understanding how Google manipulates people with the algorithm.

So a win-lose situation.

@onlinepersona@programming.dev and @CosmicCleric@lemmy.world should be able to give their perspectives.

[-] Danterious@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 1 year ago

I think it is part of a long term strategy.

They saw all the negative feedback that was given when the first announcement came and there were a lot of users saying its not so bad or that we should give them a chance then.

Eventually everything became quiet and things moved on now there is a steady rise of pro Meta comments again and this time it will lead to a less violent reaction because it has already happened once before.

Rinse and repeat until they become the norm.

When you check the mod logs and filter by mod you can see that it came from Mr. Kaplan which is a lemmy.world admin.

So yes it was a lemmy.world decision. The question is whether or not this admin was a lone actor.

[-] Danterious@lemmy.dbzer0.com 46 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah this admin is only 1 month old. So it does seem likely that they weren't around for the last outrage.

[-] Danterious@lemmy.dbzer0.com 54 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The part that annoys me is that this was done silently even though last time they said they would ask their users. Hopefully it was just an admin that didn't get the last memo.

Edit: the community -> their users

Have you seen human rating rituals?

[-] Danterious@lemmy.dbzer0.com 38 points 1 year ago

That and being direct with someone when asking to be in a relationship.

[-] Danterious@lemmy.dbzer0.com 40 points 1 year ago

What annoys me about this is that it implicitly says that if you have more money you deserve to be safer.

After many hours of talks, it became clear that our overall goal could be achieved outside of Lemmy/ActivityPub.

Right now, we feel that Lemmy and ActivityPub have downsides that are limiting us from achieving that goal.

I have two questions.

  1. What are your long-term goals for your platform?

  2. What are the downsides to Lemmy/ActivityPub stopping you from reaching those goals?

Also to answer the main question I'd like for it to stay but at the same time, the last time I checked Beehaw had around 700-ish Monthly active users. That means there probably wouldn't be that much of an impact on the general discourse of Lemmy more broadly.

That seems like enough to sustain a pretty big community on a private server even if about half of you left. So if you guys do decide to leave I wish you the best.
