Lemmy is well over 4 years old.
memes from many sources. And a lot of people created several logins on other instances given all the instability of Lemmy.
Interesting observation....
yes, reading code to people, basic interpretation. It's a pattern that I think comes post Cambridge Analytica media tactics.
Imagine being in Taiwan and having full access to information about China and the west and still shilling for China. Those types of people should be looking for a dominatrix, not a political philosophy…
That's kind of the history of humanity regarding religion. To some degree when the religious prophets were alive it make sense, but hundreds of years later it's a story book (or oral tradition) and people still strive for the authority.
We haven't really had that many teachers like Carl Sagan who describe the history and our favoring of authority - inability to question them. It's pretty weird, as they often aren't attractive or good speakers, but you see people just accept almost anything they say. I mean in the USA I witnessed so many people who would trust Rush Limbaugh and Alex Jones kind of blindly, and there is some mechanism at play that humanity in total seems to keep engaging.
It's the spam filtering, and they consider people spamming any link... and each subreddit can set the spam fitler higher or not. This was going on long before Lemmy and I've seen it even with BBC links.
lemmy.ml and lemmy.world are both down right now
I just signed up with lemmy.world because lemmy.ml is down.
lemmy.ml has been a slow-motion train wreck all June with errors and failing to send out federation copies. This asklemmy community is homed there, and a lot in the past 24 hours is missing.
Beehaw upgraded too. Lemmy.ml seems to be delivering none of the messages for past few hours, it is erroring constantly for a local user.
FYI: I've been unable to reply to direct messages
"Save" just spins forever, doesn't show in sent messages.
I have configured a rate limiter which will prevent future DoS from the specific method that was used against us today.
For those of us running other Lemmy instances, what should we be looking for?
Thank you and good work
