Firefox then RIF

He needed it to advertise the website that was linked right after he posted it.

Probably going to get downvoated for this. If you use GNU/Linux as your daily driver and you’re familiar with Raspberry Pi’s, how is it you don’t know that this is obviously a phishing attempt? Seems to me someone might be fishing for up votes. But I’m just an undeniably cynical bastard. I’ll show myself out.

Personally I found the first 2 seasons much better than the rest. The rest were hit or miss with not so many hits the further the seasons progressed. Not saying they were bad, but the quality of the plots dropped significantly for seasons 4-5.

The closer you get to death, the more fascinated by you become. My grandparents died in the 80s. Last ten years before they died, my grandfather and his friends went to every funeral no matter who it was or if they knew them. You might think ha ha they went for the food, but they never went to the receptions/wakes. I think they basically just did it as a high five, I’m alive you’re dead type of thing. They did this until every one of them was dead. None of them were overly religious.

It’s still amazes me how little polish there is to the official Reddit app compared to other third party apps. I used Firefox browser until I adopted RIF. I tried to use the official app after the deadline came and the amount of ads that I was bombarded with just became unbearable. I understand they need to make money. I understand they do this by advertising. But when they start using deceptive practices like blending the ads into genuine post they cross the line. I was a heavy user I would say greater than 2 hours a day spent on Reddit. I didn’t go cold turkey but I’m down to checking top and top last hour once or twice a day now. I deleted my main account which made it very easy to stay away.

Leviticus 20:13-15:

13 If a man lies with another man as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood guilt shall be upon them. 14 If a man lies with a woman and also her mother, it is wickedness. Both he and they shall be burned with fire, so that there is no wickedness among you. 15 If a man lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death, and you shall kill the animal.

There is NO GOOD RELIGION. Every religion that was ever created was intended to control the masses. The world would be so much better if we got together and had a religious purge. Think for yourself and don’t let a imaginary sky god control your thoughts and lives.

edit: And before you chime in and say, “but thats the old testament!”

Jesus believed that the Old Testament was divinely inspired, the veritable Word of God. He said, ‘The Scripture cannot be broken’ (John 10:35). He referred to Scripture as ‘the commandment of God’ (Matthew 15:3) and as the ‘Word of God’ (Mark 7:13). He also indicated that it was indestructible: ‘Until Heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the law, until all is accomplished’ (Matthew 5:18).

It would be nice to see some some of the admins go rogue also. I know it’s a lot to ask for people to sacrifice their jobs but some people still have ethics. And some people are in a positions where they can leave their job and pick up another one within hours or days if they’re in the demanding field.

That makes it a lot easier to understand. I was confused on how messages propagated. Your last paragraph is what cleared it up for me. Won’t this lead to strange comment chains? You could have a hundred different people commenting on a chain and they’re all a mix of federated and Def federated instances. Some will see some comments and others will see other comments but none will see all the comments unless they’re completely federated with all the sites. This is where it loses me. Not that I don’t understand what’s happening, it’s I don’t understand how it’s supposed to work in a threaded environment. I guess once I start seeing in an action I’ll get a better grasp of it. I don’t think this is going to work out as well as it was intended to.

Cheers.

Hi,

New here and still learning the ropes. With lemmyworld being defedrated and the way activitypub works, can I still post to, interact with(up vote, down vote) and subscribe to instances originating from beehaw? Or would being federated put all people who log in from lemmy.world on a block list from interacting with the communities and only being able to view?

Cheers.

I never had premium. But I deleted my 8-year account today. I took a screenshot as I was using power delete suite. I was tempted to make a throwaway account and post it to some of their subreddits that are still trending and see if I could start some kind of stupid little movement. Maybe they think a little bit longer if they start seeing people delete long-term accounts. And I’m sure there are lots of accounts out there that are much longer term and much higher Karma than me. Actually sacrificing some of those accounts could actually make a difference.

I’m not sure if I’m understanding this one. But assuming that you’re hosting your own server and you work away from home and want to connect in on the weekends. If you have https forced and it’s also on in the app you’re using to connect, any traffic between your end and the server is automatically encrypted. The only thing your ISP is going to see are data packets going from you to your server back and forth. Same if you’re hosting for 10 users. All of VPN does is give you another point hop between the server and your client. Vpns are useful if you’re trying to to block your ISP from seeing that you connect to a certain site on the internet. But just logging in remotely to your server it’s absolutely useless.

I 100% agree that it’s the owners choice if he decides to block content. But as far as I know if a instance is defederated and the instance owner doesn’t publish a block list, users on the server would have no idea it existed in the first place.

There are already a couple of search engines that show instances. Maybe if some of the developers could add categories so people could find things they are interested in. This could be a useful tool for building communities. As long as it’s an uncensored database of indexes I think this would be great. If you know one that is indexing instances by category please post it.

I’m sure instances will post guidelines and rules once they get everything straightened out. I’m just a strong advocate for personal choice. Once again I understand why some people want moderation and I understand eventually it may well be needed for some communities. As long as the owners are open about this that’s fine, but not all operators are going to be transparent with these policies.

Also the nsfw is always on, no matter if checked or not.

Giving it a try now. One thing I noticed it’s lacking or maybe I haven’t found yet is a sort top by hour. A lot of people have been requesting this jerboa also.

Hey, cheers for this. I asked someone earlier in a post how to see what instances were shown and blocked. Is this published for all sites? Is there a way it can be hidden? Or is that the way it’s built into the software? 👍

Semantics. If you defederate an instance, in this case lemmy.world blocks the instance /c/(hate group), you make the decision for everyone on that instance (you being the owner), on who can see what. This will create pockets of many little hubs instead of one big decentralized mesh network. This comes right back to the “owner” of the instance controlling everything that the user can see. I understand someone is paying the bills and that moderation is going to be needed. This is of course going to come down to choice. Is there a way to view each instances block list? If not it should be implemented into the back end somewhere, once again to allow freedom of choice.

What decision procedures are in place to stop rogue instance owners from making unilateral decisions? I admit I’m very new to lemmy and activitypub as a whole. If the community as a whole can weight in on the decision, then by all means, go ahead. 100% fair and I agree with you. I’m just against any type of actions being made by small groups of individuals that are “for the good of everyone”. I really don’t have an agenda here. I just want the freedom of choice for everyone. I’m tired of living in a world where there are people who think they know whats best for everyone else.

Thank you for your time to respond. Regards.

While I understand your wanting to ban such a community, I think moving away from that type of action is a good thing. It’s all about personal freedom. I have some instances blocked already but I would never decide to do that for everyone because what gives me that right? Speak out against them. Make your views know. Denounce, Rage, never quit. But never censor. Freedom of information and choice is the end goal. Banning a topic is what leads to radicals because they have no outlet for their insanity.

I was just thinking the same thing. I’ve been sorting my new and you can refresh every 10 or 12 seconds if you want to and more and more keeps popping up. I’m happy that I’m not seeing many spam post yet. Hopefully the hate community stay away also. Sometimes I think it’s better to have them out in the open though, where we can read and see and be reminded what we need to fight against.

I think the whole point is to keep them from merging. No centralization. That way you can up and down vote servers along with post or block certain servers altogether. Now they might be able to incorporate it some way in the app where you could group common instances and assign your own categories. That would work pretty well.
