  • And how many people answer that on Sunday night?

    What I’m getting at is a major website has at least a skeleton staff that can do something, even if that’s just pulling the plug.

    I don’t even reply to most work texts after hours unless it’s someone saying they have to use sick leave. I don’t expect people hosting Lemmy as a hobby to be on call 24/7.

    But I hope afterwards they’re transparent about what happened and how they’re going to stop it from happening again. If not, it’s easy to hop instances


  • What impact?

    As long as you dont go on lemmy.world, it’s not going to redirect you to all the stupid websites.

    And I doubt whatever they’re posting (if they’re posting anything) is getting upvoted, so you won’t see it anywhere else.

    And where are you getting “malware” from?

    People are acting like it’s some crazy hack, and not the 4chan rejects from exploding heads finally guessing an admins password a week after they got defederated. And after all that time chasing the mailman, they had no idea what to do when they guessed it

    But this does highlight an issue with instances. I doubt the handful of admins know each other. Like, maybe an email, but for the most part if shit like this happens during “off hours” it might be a while before the top admin even knows there’s an issue



  • but I don’t think people realise how bad it’s become.

    One time I made a main level comment, then replied to one of the most upvote comments in the same thread.

    Seconds later a bit replied to me with my first reply, except for some reason it cut off the end. I don’t know if the bot ran out of characters because it was a cheap bot, or if it was an attempt to avoid automated detection.

    Bots were a huge problem long before AI started trying to have conversations.

    We all joked about it, but a lot of the accounts were really fake, and they usually got sold to advertisers after amassing enough karma and post history to look authentic



  • Is there any problem with the statement that the far-left is trash and sucked as much as the far-right?

    Only if you don’t have an issue lying, if you’re fine with lying, I guess you wouldn’t have an issue saying that…

    Ever heard of horseshoe theory?

    Yeah, it’s that thing trumpers and “moderates” constantly talk about. There’s no logic or facts to back it up, but they sure love repeating it.

    I have a question tho, why are your only two comments talking about how “nazis aren’t really that bad”?
