  • Movies this week and a bit.

    • The Holdovers, beautiful Christmas movie with just the right amount of Christmas theme. Not too much.

    • The Mole, from Mats Brügger. Impressive real life undercover story to uncover the criminal deals of the north Korean regime.

    • Dumb money, absurd to see the story in a movie. I remember the events while it happens the gme 💎 ✋ craze. Nonetheless fun movie.

    Tv:

    • I finally started watching peaky blinders.

    • Law man bass reeves. They spend a good amount on this show it’s looks nice. The acting of the main char is good. Sometimes others miss the beat. Unnecessary soundtracks where silence would serve the scenes better.

    • Bookie, easy to watch, light, funny. good actors.




  • First account on fediverse was here. Glad I did. I like that the admin had contributed to the fediverse. Perfect place for me I’ve been downloading since limewire, BitTorrent, rapidshare and megaupload. meganova was a cool tracker, ddlvalley, oneddl, corebay, funkysouls, piratebay of course. Piracy and sites other sites like this and communities like thls helped me develop skills, how to host your own services to break away from algorithms, how to set up things like websites, pi-hole, like docker, networking, VPNs, I learned how to take care of privacy online. And I am able to share that knowledge with friends and family. As long as this lemmy stays a place where knowledge and information can be shared to others this will be a nice harbor for this semi old pirate 🦜 Don’t defederate too quickly from places that might have different opinions. Most of the users here are tech savvy enough to filter their own feeds. I don’t want to end up in an echo chamber. That what’s Instagram and Facebook etc. is for. Oh I have a question, where we get some stats? Like how many users or new posts? What is the size, in GB? Whats the traffic? How many images?

    I hear you. For what it’s worth it is mentioned in the end of the blog post, the project is open source, people can run their own overseer API and create less strict or more strict whitelists, instances can also be registered to multiple chains. Don’t mistake my enthousiasm for self run open social media platforms for trying to promote a single tool as the the be-all and end-all solution. Under the swiss cheese security model/idea, this could be another tool in the toolbox to curb the annoyance to a point where spam or bots become less effective. Edit: *The be-all and end-all *not be and end all solution



  • I’m not an instance admin nor am I a mod. I just started using Lemmy a couple of days ago. First, respect to you for taking the time to come up with solutions. I think your solution is at the limit of what you can do to keep bad actors from creating instances and start spamming. We need to accept it will not solve all the spam. Just like there’s is still spam in the comment section on YouTube but alot less compared to a year or so ago. But, maybe having a more granular trust system of instances could be a solution to prevent smaller instances from being locked out. For example a new instance would be allowed to be whitelisted sooner than they would be allowed to endorse or guarantee other instances? Or doesn’t that work in the case of Lemmy?


  • What a shitshow.

    Update from in the post from u/CardboardElite

    Edit: Entire mod team received a 7-day suspension. I still cannot login on my account.

    Edit2: Admins seem to be saying this was done to prevent subs spamming sexually explicit content. On r/MildlyInteresting we did NOT do this or intend to do this, as was clear in the update that the admins manually removed:

    To be clear - this does NOT mean we are allowing pornographic, sexually explicit or illegal content. Our existing rules will still apply. We are simply embracing our proud history of user-curated lewd fruit and vegetable content. This history includes, but is not limited to, photos of oddly-shaped produce, landscape features reminiscent of genitalia, or other quirky sights that might cause one to raise an eyebrow. https://i.imgur.com/DwXEb8K.png
    

    Edit3: The entire r/MildlyInteresting team has been unsuspended and reinstated.

    ModMail from a different admin (not ModCoC) explains that we were apparently “swept up in actions” that they were taking against “communities that were encouraging sexually explicit content”. Situation remains really unclear, and the fact we were a mistake does not excuse r/interestingasfuck being targeted or any of the other 5 subs.

    Edit4: Please be aware that NSFW content on Reddit is opt-in. Nobody who did not manually opt-in to see “adult content” was exposed to it through r/interestingasfuck and other subs. We might have been a mistake, but that doesn’t excuse the others.
