i duct-tape a 22 to the side of the server with the trigger trip-wired to the wan port.

your move, iptables

is this a genetic descendant of banzai kitty?

my dog wants to know why youre gatekeeping one of his favorite events

naw, im just eyeballin from a pov where no ones hands are clean, but no one seems to want to talk about that. its always. no, this one evil… if we just get rid of this one evil, everything will be great!

no, thats not how it works. you cant vote yourself out of this one buy picking ‘a winner’

if we care about humanity, the evil that is religion would be up front and center just as much as the greed it hides behind.

i understand your point, but it doesnt negate the nefarious role any religion has over man.

if your government is rooted in some form of religion, youre no better than the imperialists. evil is as evil does

the ‘winner’ of 2 differing cancers is still death

humanity will suffer as long as religion and greed rule its ranks

bots not performing correctly is a different conversation than ‘no reposting bots at all’.

i agree that all bots should be publicly identified and held (moderated) to their purpose and contextual content.

this is a regular occurrence.

theres this idea among some that they absolutely must not be exposed to things they dont like, and this is how they show it… .they have block lists that are freakin huge with accounts/instances and they whine incessantly about what amounts to absolutely nothing.

and youre spot on… this is content being added to a sparse area… content that can be discovered later on by people who join eventually. it hurts no one by existing.

i have like 7 accounts blocked in 3 years on the 'verse, and they are mostly shitty remote mods

wwhaaaat your instance doesnt do that automatically?

that must suck as you yell at the cloud of multi-platform users

you do know that lurkers are some crazy number like 95% of traffic, right?

im not a fan of equating comment numbers with user views.

i personally love to see that shit in my new queue… i dont even have to suffer the subscription in my curated list when i want it excluded.

honestly, i fail to see whatever detriment you think is happening. worst case, ignore/block/mute what you dont like?

the reddit reposting bots are not entirely without merit.

its hard to get communities of reddit users to move to the fediverse, but a bridge in the form of a bot can make the transition more appealing.

e. theres also the data exfiltration aspect. as reddit becomes a walled garden, reposting bots effectively free that reddit content into the ether of the fediverse.

o0o in a similar vein, i like to ask them if they are pro fascism or anti… reminding them that they really only get to pick one… and watch them squirm as their programming conflicts

which is hilarious as they generally also couldnt define fascism if their life depended on it

my kids went their entire childhoods without suffering commercial-filled television (still dont)… its extends well past the pre-k stages.

its kinda crazy having your own personal netflix, right?

i originally used it so my kids could watch cartoons in school

uhhhh… dont the people of those states elect their own local senator? how the fuck does that equal federal overreach??

overreach by representation? are they saying the problem in the united states is that we are over-represented?

ohh right… the fascism isnt even whispered anymore

animals that live in social groups often reject nonstandard behaving individuals as a defense mechanism

Eh… why does this feel like slimy commercialization of the 'verse?

say it with me slimeballs… must.have.efficient.reach

oh noeeees!

the thing is, lemmy as a platform is kinda restricted in its interaction in the ‘verse. non-threadiverse stuff is hit or miss, if at all. they might have a big ol’ gravity well of users there at lemmy.world, but the platform is kinda meh.

piefed seems like its on a good track, and ill never stop bein an mbin cheerleader

just because my mailgroup has yahoo participants doesnt mean i use yahoo, yahoo
