Yeah it makes sense. After reading all the arguments here, I guess if it helps to slow down spammers, it's a good idea. Let's do it. :)

I will enable it tomorrow and I would be very grateful for some extra admin help. I will contact you tomorrow. :)

Tyson is an incredibly unpleasant person though. It's hard to see past his shitty personality.

He has a great mix of humor and serious discussions about important topics. He calls out guests for avoiding answering difficult questions etc.

I cant even express it very well, but the man is a legend. One of a kind.

I updated https://lemmy.today this morning and no problems at all.

We are a small instance but still wanted to post this. Maybe it calms the nerves for some instance owners. :)

That's actually really interesting. What's the purpose of so many inactive accounts at once?

Seems to be enough to have a few of them, and not a million accounts since it clearly will rise suspicion... :)

Very good that you found them. Fascinating.

Maybe an attempt to try and make the fediverse look more active than it was back then, to get headlines about how it has explosive growth etc. It was June and everything really took off then.

Well we will see. There will be a lot of demand for websites that doesn't go along with this shit. So maybe we get a web where individuals again are contributing on their own sites while big tech goes the DRM way.

The same people who today run Lemmy instances are the kind of people that are also interested in seeing that kind of a web, and can help build it. We don't do it for money.

Maybe this thing will evolve into two webs. One where the majority using Chrome will be, mostly busy watching ads and reading the shitty sites Google has picked for them.

But another where browsers who don't support this can be. Stuff like Lemmy and forums and other things run by individuals with an interest and passion.

We would still need to use chrome for the official stuff like our bank's or office websites, but there would be another world out there for people who refuse to accept being subjected to this shit. Alternative websites would shoot up and became popular.

The thing is, literally all big tech companies also have zero respect for their userbase but people keep using Google, Meta, Insta and all those things.

I think us geeks have started to move away from it more and more, but the majority couldn't care less.

Yes. I'm already noticing a lot more rude and immature people as the number of users grow.

People who hurt animals or tease them to annoy them to get a good laugh. If I'm ever in a situation weather to save the animal or that person, the person does not get saved.

I think its the only way to not be completely dependent on some single entity.

So far we have seen all of them go bad with time. At least with federation, you and me can talk with no corporation in the middle, which brings me back to the lovely feeling of the 90's with BBS's and forums. Before the corps took over and put ads everywhere, and basically took the world hostage.

If something big happens, ordinary people need to be able to talk without censorship. And its going to be very hard to censor a distributed network like Lemmy.

This is typical of Windows in general. You are basically a guest in your own computer, asking for permission to do something from Microsoft, or in this case, Nvidia.
