Tbf, maybe a shitstorm of racist rants will make advertisers pull their ads, and start a bunch of bad press.
Maybe /r/conservative were playing 4D chess all along.

Lemmy's so new that I think a lot of people are still unsure how to curate their feed.
Yea, we got some growing pains. I hope Lemmy.ml has prepared for Monday. If the tinyest percentage of Reddit comes along (and I've been mentions of Lemmy in many subreddits) then this place will experience a deluge.
Judging by the IP address, lemmy.ml seems to be located in France. That's not fantastic for take-down notices, as far as I'm aware.
I'm in Serbia, land of the free, home of the torrents. I don't know if there are VPS providers here, but if so, it's a good country for hosting anything but government criticism (not that you'd need to criticize Vućić the benevolent, long may he reign).
Even within Reddit communities, a lot of posts ended up in multiple places, and the 'crossposting' function seemed off to me, because everyone voted on and commented in different places.
I wonder if a 'tag' system wouldn't work better, where a post shows up under multiple hashtags. This way, a picture could go under '#sea #thalassophobia #submarines #pictures' all at once.
If everyone votes on the same post, posts would receive negative attention for inappropriate tags (I'm assuming that people would downvotes pictures of cats which had the #dogs hashtag).
You can sell accounts?
How on earth would you do that anyway? Do I go onto Amazon, or just my local fruit market?
I don't think there's much need to repost between communities. Click on the main page, and you can see "| Subscribed | Local | All |", and in 'all' you'll be able to see other Lemmy instances and interact with those communities without making an account there.
I'm not sure if you can make posts on another instance though...
I should clarify that there's no karma, because there are very few users. Once there are more people, some users will try to make a bot which farms karma, for the usual reasons.
Reposting definitely serves some useful function, but too much reposting from Reddit will just make Lemmy feel like a cheap knock-off. At this early stage, I feel like new content and chat works better, but that's just an intuition.
Why make a repost in the first place? Karma? Influence? You'll find neither in this dark, empty, wasteland.
But it'll pick up on Monday, and I'm sure we'll be swarming with more bots than you can shake a Turing test at before long.
Yea, I have no idea why people are even attempting this nonsense. Perhaps they think that 'computers are magic', because it's quite clear that nobody would try to verify someone's age when it comes to posting images through snail-mail.
Of course if they wanted to give it a proper go, maybe someone could make a real age test:
Arch.
I once ran Ubuntu, but the install instructions for so many programs are 'import this key', 'add these dependencies', and the system quickly became a mess. I had install scripts to install and uninstall some things, but it was too much for me to take care of.
Eventually I found that if you want the latest terragrunt and i3, Arch Linux is easier than Ubuntu.
I don't know why I keep hearing of security measures to stop someone sleuthing into bootloaders.
Am I the only person using Linux who isn't James Bond?
