We should just use second notation for everything.

I’ll be there in 5 min? I’ll be there in 2 or 3 hundo!

See you tommorow? See you in in 86K!

Next week? About half a Megasec!

Doesn’t Megasecond sound better than Fortnite?

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.

Slaps roof: “It’s our Lemmy Certified Quality Discussion©️Guarantee!” : “You won’t always like the conversation.”

long pause

Customer: “but?”

Slapper: “But what?”

Customer: “You won’t always like the conversation, but…”

Slapper: “Oh! No, that’s it’s. That’s the guarantee.”

If the blahaj admin(s) are working in the best interests of their users, and/or moderating out criminal content then that’s just swell.

On the other hand, if they’re trying to control other people… that’s bad form.

I always cringe when I hear: “you live under my roof, you live under my rules.” This has that kind of “feel;” yea?

There never was love for flatpaks and there never will be. I’ll never forgive them for killing my son.

A quick, but a little dirty solution for this, would be communities having “tags” in their metadata. This wouldn’t prevent spam, or an accumulation of four trillion tags, but you could easily add “only these tags,” or “not these tags,” to any feed. User objects have metadata that is used like this (as the “bot” flag) already. I’m just familiar enough with the code to know it wouldn’t be a slam dunk, but it’s also not a breaking change or re-write!

Buy the dip!!!

I think if you link your Lemmy and Reddit accounts it filters out all memes automatically. Tell your friend to try that.

Bot, you also need to tell people that /c/blah is meaningless. This is not Reddit bot homie!

You’ve got something pretty interesting for us don’t you? Let’s take a look. Wow, yes. I think we might have something here. You should be pretty excited about this!

So, I’ve been looking at old memes for most of my career and only come across a few like this.

There were many communities made to capture old memes but only a few were truly popular. The rarity of these communities also plays a huge part in how valuable the memes are to collectors.

I’ve seen a few others in better condition, but collector demand for this item is still very high.

Given the condition of community and the records kept about the origins, at auction: I’d expect this to go for about…

… three to four million doge.

When Palo Alto sells your dipshit CIO one firewall appliance per virtual server. “Somehow. Someway,” says the salesperson, “we’re gonna get even more firewalls in here!”

• Should we/let’s defederate with X?

I actually wrote it with the flip side of your centralization argument in mind. If a community exists outside of the popular ones a user may never even know of its existence. Having more show up SHOULD be better to prevent centralization no? It requires the users to change their browsing behaviour but at least they don’t have gonsearching offsite.

There is some discussion. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2947

I am still fairly confident that it shouldn’t be storing images, but I’ll admit my pict-rs directory is growing quite fast compared to the database. Have to keep a close eye on this.

They’re not supposed to, and don’t call me friend, buddy.

EVERYTHING by default. Also working on “discover only” for searching without the subscribe-to-everything. That said: It’s far less than 3GB per day for EVERYTHING I can see, plus: you don’t HAVE to keep it forever. Were you doing something that got other than text?

Is there a bot for polls?

When you create that instance, do you immediately need to download and store all the data that has ever been posted to all federated Lemmy instances?

Run my own instance. @[email protected] is right but there are more details. Federation is not a “sync.” When your instance needs to fetch from another instance it will, but it does not get history. You can get a specific comment or post from any time however.

Or perhaps you only need to download and store everything that is posted to the federated Lemmy instances from that point forward?

This is not by default either. Only communities that your users subscribe to will be updated by their “origin” instances.

Or better yet, do you only store what the users on that instance do (i.e. their posts, and posts to the communities hosted on that instance)?

This does happen, but it also stores what your users do on remote instances as well as “copies” of what they interact with. Images (currently the only media hosted by lemmy servers) are linked to thier “origin” as well. So you are storing text of posts and comments.
