It does make sense. I wonder if the admins checked to see how many users (were) subscribed to nsfw? Not that a subscription equals a content consumer, but it’s a strong indicator.
Possibly. Power is just representing others via. their trust in you. Trust can be earned, purchased, or stolen.
I don’t think the blahaj admins bought their users off. I also don’t think they oppress them. I can only reasonably conclude their doing what they think is right.
If the users agree, stay on the instance, and are happy there’s not really any discussion to be had.
I like the instance and it sucks to see it defederate period. I can’t really say what reasons are right or wrong universally, except for criminal stuff. IMO.
Ahh. I see. I took a look at the script. "Blocked Users," is not reported by an instance, but rather It's calculated by this script by looking at "Blocked Instances," which is reported. How many active users each blocked instance has and then summing this together, the script shows "BU." I was thinking it was an explicit list of users the instance blocked based on ban/block lists.
It's a derivative, but still useful metric, I guess. BU could be high, but BI could be low and vice-versa.
LLM bots has make this approach much less effective though. I can just leave my bots for a few months or a year to get reputation, automate them in a way that they are completely indistinguishable from a natural looking 200 users, making my opinion carry 200x the weight. Mostly for free. A person with money could do so much more.
People can defederate from an instance for any reason they want, but if I get what you're trying to say: you think people should defederate from any instance that has a user that subscribes to all of their communities.
You guys got potato chips?
I'm not convinced either one of us knows what the software is SUPPOSED to do, and I am pretty sure nobody knows what it's actually doing. Here's another thread: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3163
Not really. If it worked before, it should work the same, just has more options for control and granularity.
Do you mean recorded teams meetings or just a video file on a SharePoint site? Is it embedded, or just a file in document collection/OneDrive?
I think the exception is companies “too big to die.” They serve as the archangels of tech so ALL other goals lead to being bought by FAANG or dying.
Came here to post! Beat me to it.
I think it's geography based. Works for me from the west coast (usa) but not the east. :(
Only found out because coincidentally DEVOPS IS GITHUB. So yea, I guess add another non-critical thing to the playbook.

I love the idea of taking on a monopoly, but I don’t like that, without regulation, it has a low chance of success, and the consumer gets to suffer as the monopoly fights back.
