I don't want to be subject to the output of generative AI and yet and I continuously am because AI bros oppose things that would enable my preferences (e.g. requiring AI output to be watermarked or tagged) and shove it in places I visit regularly. So fuck them and their ocean boiling algorithms that will never make art worth seeing, prose worth reading, or music worth hearing.
Yeah, I thought it must be a Reddit repost instance, thanks for pointing to the right one.
i apparently cannot figure out ascii shrugs, nvm

Just so we're clear, what this crawler does is go through all servers that use ActivityPub known to it, and congregate that data to a list of known services (Lemmy, Mastodon, Piefed etc.). How is does that is by querying a standardised end point to get the instance info (.well-known/nodeinfo
which will then point to a different path to get the actual info).
For instance, here's what it will collect for feddit.uk:
nodeinfo json
// curl -s https://feddit.uk/nodeinfo/2.1 | jq
{
"version": "2.1",
"software": {
"name": "lemmy",
"version": "0.19.10-feddit",
"repository": "https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy",
"homepage": "https://join-lemmy.org/"
},
"protocols": [
"activitypub"
],
"usage": {
"users": {
"total": 4184,
"activeHalfyear": 718,
"activeMonth": 485
},
"localPosts": 25750,
"localComments": 122835
},
"openRegistrations": true,
"services": {
"inbound": [],
"outbound": []
},
"metadata": {}
}
The important stat here is the localPosts
, which is all the posts made by local users in any community, local or remote. It does not include posts by users from remote instances made in local communities. You can also see this data on the instance sidebar in lemmy-ui.
lemmy.zip going down will only reduce aggregated stats for total posts by 47,280, as that's what they report for their localPosts
.
But zip has < 50K posts.
You shouldn't expect anything else from the Torygraph, it's all nostalgia bait and hate mongering to comfort their snobby readership (and to prop up his links to fossil fuel companies).
The amount of things learned from the comments under memes is probably a bit high, but I’ll send a commit to fix this in a minute.
Who needs an issues tracker when you have a meme tracker, eh?
Does Lemmy look at the mods URL again when it decides to refresh a community (or when it receives an Update / Group)
Yes to both. Updating a community and fetching a new community are identical operations in Lemmy.
It's because Piefed is returning the wrong Content-Type
for moderator collections specifically. You're returning application/json
not application/activity+json
.
curl -H 'Accept: application/activity+json' -v https://piefed.social/c/50501/moderators 2>&1 | grep content-type
< content-type: application/json
< x-content-type-options: nosniff
I assume this is why MBin also doesn't report any moderators for that community https://fedia.io/m/50501@piefed.social.
SJW doesn't have an application question and this from Sunaurus in the parent comment seems to imply they manually approve applications as well:
We have a custom question on our sign-up page asking people to state they agree to our rules, and it’s relatively common that people just don’t read the question and write something random in there - we generally don’t accept such applications to try and weed out bots, but I’m pretty sure we also end up rejecting a bunch of legit users this way who just didn’t read the instructions.
I'd be interested to know how World automates their sign up process. Guessing from their application question they might just look for the phrase "I agree to the TOS" in answers, which would be fairly simple to implement but I wouldn't personally feel confident in it.
The fix has been merged, but it hasn't been backported to the 0.19 branch yet. It's been brought up in another issue and it should be fairly simple to backport (most of the code isn't even relevant for the 0.19 branch), so I'll try to do that for Lemmy 0.19.12.
Fucking hell, these people never gave a fuck about Palestinians did they? Like, have they just memory holed Trump's AI video of Gaza?
Remember when they were brown-nosing Trump for stopping Israel's campaign in Gaza, they've been fairly quite about that since Israel resumed and rammed up their genocide.
Hm, that's far from typical so I'm not sure how a generic dialogue would accommodate both. World might want to hide the dialogue on web front ends, though I'm not sure how to also get that reflected in apps like Mlem.
After I started puberty, I started to feel very dissociated from my body. I mostly think of myself as a floating set of eyes and hands, kind of like a VR game. Remembering I occupy a body and specially this body is always quite disconcerting. It was only when I read other trans people describe this experience, and point out how it wasn't normal, that I was able to make the connection to dysphoria.
