I’ve seen other people on Mastodon/Bluesky mention that the site takes an ‘anti-censorship’ approach to moderation, so there’s a bunch of far right people doing Nazi stuff on there.

Some clients do it automatically, but this should work: https://lemmyverse.link/startrek.website/post/35769143

Epic sold Bandcamp to Songtradr in 2023.

The best platform for this is unfortunately American, Bandcamp. 82% of all the money you spend goes to that artist (that’s what they claim) and if you wait until a Bandcamp Friday, they waive their 15/10% fee entirely.

I’m not sure if it counts as indie, but I played Eriksholm in December and enjoyed it quite a bit. I’m also playing TR-49 at the moment that’s scratching my Roottree itch.

He doesn’t even need to do that, just look at that Whatsapp clone he named after himself.

Modern Monetary Theory. Technically it’s just a description of how money works, but MMT people tend to advocate positions about increasing spending and that government debt isn’t actually a factor in the state of the economy.

I actually think full membership is pretty unlikely, at least in the short to medium term. Well, unless we get a Lib Dem majority government (not going to happen). The far-right hate the EU because their brains have been cooked on Telegraph and Murdoch slop and the left is flirting with MMT, something the fiscal rules of the Lisbon treaty prohibits.

If you sort by ‘Top Month’ Lemmy will rank it by MAUs.

I was curious to see how they handle this on the fedi side, because they obviously can’t stop you from uploading images to other instances, so decided to do some digging myself.

The fedi code for this is here and looks like this:

# Alert regarding fascist meme content
if site.enable_chan_image_filter and toxic_community and img_width < 2000:  # images > 2000px tend to be real photos instead of 4chan screenshots.
    if os.environ.get('ALLOW_4CHAN', None) is None:
        try:
            image_text = pytesseract.image_to_string(
                Image.open(BytesIO(source_image)).convert('L'), timeout=30)
        except Exception:
            image_text = ''
        if 'Anonymous' in image_text and (
                'No.' in image_text or ' N0' in image_text):  # chan posts usually contain the text 'Anonymous' and ' No.12345'
            post = session.query(Post).filter_by(image_id=file.id).first()
            targets_data = {'gen': '0',
                            'post_id': post.id,
                            'orig_post_title': post.title,
                            'orig_post_body': post.body
                            }
            notification = Notification(title='Review this',
                                        user_id=1,
                                        author_id=post.user_id,
                                        url=post.slug,
                                        notif_type=NOTIF_REPORT,
                                        subtype='post_with_suspicious_image',
                                        targets=targets_data)
            session.add(notification)
            session.commit()

The curious thing here, apart from there being both an environmental variable and site setting for this, is the toxic_community variable. This seems to be a renaming of the low_quality field Piefed applies to communities, which are just communities with either memes or shitpost in their name.

You also don’t get social credits docked for this.

So wait, they pull in Tesseract and don’t use it to make search better? Talk about missed opportunity.

I just guaranteed you on fediseer, so you should be good now.

Assuming you have a standard deployment with docker compose, go to the directory with the docker-compose.yml file and run this:

docker compose logs lemmy | less

You might have to scroll for a bit, you can hit / then type mastodon.social then enter to find occurrences in the logs. Jump to next/previous match by hitting n and N/shift-n respectively.

I was able to fetch the comment without issue (https://feddit.uk/post/42810312/22639417), so it could be something in your setting somewhere. You can try to resolve the comment (go to search in the web UI and past the URL for comment), then after you can run the command above and jump to the end (Alt->) and it should say something about why it failed to resolve.

They seem to have blocked Nutomic, so won’t see this.

They completely deindexed Link (spacelawshitpost.me) for not showing appropriate reverence for Charlie Kirk after he died by pointing to their TOS policy on promoting violence, but an organisation that only exists to exert violence on non-white people gets a pass.

It starts in 1337 and goes through until 1837. It probably is accurate to the time, but still I find it funny conceptually.

Comments can be marked as an Answer, like on StackOverflow.

Was anything changed about how this federates? If no, what protections are in place against someone just patching their instance software to always return an "answer": true on Notes?

Earlier this week, I announced the immediate availability of a reference implementation for the Public Key Directory–a project I’ve been working on since June 2024. Hundreds of people shared it on Mastodon and BlueSky. Comparatively, almost nobody on Hacker News ever saw it.

I’ll admit I missed this despite it being posted in !technology@lemmy.world. Lumping Masto and Bluesky together here is weird though given the Masto post got 300+ boosts while the Blusky post got 25 reposts.

Wow, that’s bad. I would hate working with this so much.

of numbers instead of human-readable names

TBF, they have introduced a ‘verified’ system that lets you use human readable names.
