I did my part by spoofing their API and using RIF right up until I got banned for saying nazis deserve to be dead.
Hit too close to home for the admins with that one.
I didn’t get banned, but I remember once teaching people how to fuck with tire valve stems discreetly to fuck with cops and bad parkers and getting a ton of downvotes. That same advice just got a ton of upvotes here. It’s better here.
What’s your method? BB under the screw on cap?
can of soup for their family under their windshield wiper alongside Engels’ Origin of the Family.
BB or piece of gravel under the cap. Or placing a nail under the tire so it punctures when they pull away.

What service do you think “your” on?

Boring troll.
My alone?
Yes, yours alone
You don’t even try, do you?
Have a block, you insufferable trog.Oof, the projection is strong with this one 🤭
At least the bots proof read their posts.
Everybody is a bot except you.
to be fair, theres still a lot of really good info on there, by the matter of sheer volume alone. i learned a lot about linux for instance, from reddit the last couple years. Sadly lemmy doesnt yet have the volume that would have been able to foster the same amount of learning for me. heres to hoping lemmy grows faster by the day :)

I know people hate ai, but honestly Linux questions especially the low hanging fruit is perfectly answered by chat gtp etc.
Part of the reason I switched was exactly because I didn’t have to google 10 different forums and could just ask for the answers. And you can keep asking clarifying questions to get more detail.
A vocal minority in a specific set of bubbles hates AI. Large numbers of people just quietly use it.
…yes, large numbers of the dumbest people on the planet, combined with the ACTUALLY vocal minority of pro-AI self-hosters who get butthurt when you call AI problematic.
The population is widely, increasingly, becoming fed up with AI. I work in the actual world, and I speak with dozens of different people every day. Resoundingly sentiment is either unaware of AI or despises it.
Sure thing. ChatGPT is the top app on both iOS and Android for no reason. I’m sure people are just about to realise that LLMs only hallucinate and give you what you want to hear, and the world will be back to how it was.
Did you miss the “large numbers of the dumbest people on the planet” bit or are you just unable to actually parse what I’m saying and write a valid response? Are you using AI to write your dumbassery?
no offense, but “i work in the actual world” comes off rudely dismissive, and possibly a bit narrow minded. like, how did saying that help support your argument at all, and why assume others dont exist irl?
Because if someone doesn’t preface with the fact that they are referring to real, lived experiences and not twitter screenshots, then they are dismissed as being chronically online.
The stuff you said? That’s how you read it and perceived it, but it’s not what is said. And it’s not my job when arguing with people about dumb internet shit to figure out and account for how an offhand refutal comment will come off.
I also don’t care if I’m being rude or snide. If you feel belittled, then you are insecure. I’m just a random douchebag on lemmy whose direct opinion of you, you shouldn’t care about. So if you feel belittled, it’s your own fault. Block and move on.
hope you have a better day tomorrow.
My big problem is that Lemmy lacks sizable niche communities right now. The big topics get foot traffic, but the small stuff struggles.
I have found on Lemmy that you simply need to ask the questions to get the answers you want. While the user count may not be as high as on reddit, people here are way more active, and most of the commenters I’ve seen (especially in the tech communities) seem wicked smart and know what they are talking about.
We don’t have the massive backlog of posts with the same questions asked over and over again on every topic, but that doesn’t mean the knowledge isn’t here. Engage, make posts, ask questions! We’ll get there.
thanks for the encouragement! so far what ive seen matches what youve said.

He’s laughing, manchild has no regrets.
I have sympathy for the moderators but not a lot. The should have unionised and demanded a salary a long time ago.
And I’ll add Lemmy/Piefed, actually the whole fediverse, should be run by co-operatives. I’m on Aussie.zone for nothing I add nothing to the instance I’m just a drain on resources. I should pay a yearly fee to be part of the community and should at the very least meta moderate. Like slashdot Uwe to do whereafter a period of time you got to review moderator choices and agree or disagree with the decision. Which based on criteria would the. Allow you to first person moderate.
In short:
- contribute to costs.
- moderate the moderators
- moderate
The little up down buttons are a form of user moderation.
No they’re not, they’re a form of personal opinion.
Reporting a post or comment however does help us a lot because we don’t see everything.
Im personally a server admin on db0 and tbh I just sorta do it in my free time, I don’t personally think it needs to be monitized. Some funding for server costs is fine but that’s about it.
On one hand, yes. On the other hand, the moment paying for Lemmy becomes commonplace, is the moment financial interests would ruin everything. A donation model makes more sense.
Co-op is just donation model with voting rights. Like a community non-profit organisation
Sure http://piefed.influercercancer.social/ could decide to have paid content but that’s their decision. Any other instance can de-federate from them as easily as they can a Nazi instance
You’d like lemmy.dbzer0.com (lemmy) or anarchist.nexus (piefed) then. Run by the same folks.
Not a co-op, but they’ve put in place systems for instance users to democratically vote on all big administrative changes, any user can start a “radical” vote to oust any mod or admin, and people who have donated to the running costs (even just once) get more vote. Enough that people invested get more weight, but they wouldn’t be able to completely override the will of the rest of the userbase.
Politically anarchist, pro-piracy (head admin and creator is former head mod of reddit’s r/piracy), accepting of AI (mostly pushing for local models, so corps aren’t the only ones with power) but don’t really have issues with anti-corp-AI views as long as you aren’t being a dick to the pro-AI comms/users.
I like that, actually
There’s a reason I donate to my instance. It’s not a lot, but it’s something that helps.
I have no sympathy for anybody still in the Reddit ecosystem at this point.
*phew* Well, good thing I don’t need your sympathy. :D
Fact is, Reddit is still a hugely-useful place for me, so I have one foot still wedging that door open.
The should have unionised and demanded a salary a long time ago.
Yeah, mods who tried to do that kind of thing were simply replaced as I recall it, and their subs transferred to new mods. Reddit is pretty much down the capitalist hellhole at this point.
my reason-less ban feels less bad every day
backlash from unpaid moderator
They have their chance two years ago but they didn’t stand up, they fold once the admin bark just a bit. They openly stated that their obligation are to the user of the sub, so they should continue to serve quietly. If they still continue to use reddit after all this year seeing spez being paid millions while they work and generate content and effort for the company, then i have no sympathy.
Really is the decade of pedophiles making huge paydays, isn’t it?
Always has been. They just can’t hide it now, so they’re out in the open
Spez sucks, but is there any proof of that? My understanding is that back then you could make anyone a moderator against their will, which someone did with r/Jailbait… 🤢
He owned the website. He controlled it completely. He wasn’t powerless to stop them from making him a mod (which he remained for a long time, even when people pointed it out publicly) and he wasn’t powerless to remove the literal child porn subreddit before it became a national news story.
That was after he gave the head mod of the sub an award for the traffic it was bringing the site. Steve Huffman was explicitly aware of the jailbait sub before and after being made a moderator of it. He is best case scenario a pedophile sympathizer.
I don’t know if he is personally. I do know they were handing out physical trophies to people who made communities that made them money, including people posting underage girls.
Oh, and also I got banned for saying we need harsher penalties for people who harm children. Probably bot flagged, but upheld in a review.
He may not be one, but Reddit generally stands with pedophiles, and opposes people who stand against them. And historically have done.
Wait, there are still unpaid moderators over there? Haven’t people learned anything?
He looks like he is still searching for his ‘precious’
reddit these days is very different. i remember people were buying each other reddit gold back in the day to pay for the site so it wouldn’t have to bend to advertisers and their rules. now reddit is big business
