On the contrary, it’s the only comparison you can make, since they are literally the only options.

…and there is no way to do that, currently.
That’s not something that’d likely scale enough to bring any meaningful sum of money.
Even then it targets a tiny, tiny minority of their even current userbase, let alone if they want to approach more “average” users.
They also assert that Bluesky doesn’t federate (it currently doesn’t, but the protocol is designed for federation!) when it’s clear that it now does.
I’m not surprised about the skepticism there though. These are just promises, and we all know that a for-profit entity will happily sacrifice any promies if it means they make more money that way. Also depending on how exactly that federation will work it might be practically useless as well.
They’re two separate(ish) issues.
But it’s still a bad idea to use national TLDs for stuff that has nothing to do with that nation.
Granted, is ICANN wasn’t just a money-grabbing machine with no forward thinking they wouldn’t give nations clearly “generally desirable” gTLDs, but since they did already that doesn’t mean they should be misused.
I had a similar issue and in my case it ended up being some AMD crap (I think an updater or something) that probably didn’t install properly or something.
IIRC I just ended up disabling the scheduled task that was running it and that was the end of it.
That would give random strangers (at least partial) control over what is indexed and how and you’d have to trust them all. I’m not sure that’s a great idea.
Man, please, learn to read. My whole point is that you should not care about what people upvote.
So once again: if you are okay with the original comment/post - which means you are fine with keeping Nazis on and what they have to say on your platform - then you should be okay with people who “react” on that content.
Or maybe you aren’t fine with it, so you should delete the offending post or comment, and then you won’t be bothered by the reactions either.
Sounds like cruel and unusual punishment to me. I wonder if he could still fight it. Sure doesn’t sound too bad until you realize that it’s literally only to make an example out of someine while ruining his entire life for a crime with no victim.
I think that if you allow that question in the first place, voting on it should not have any consequences either.
Besides, despite what most people instinctively think it’s better to see what you disagree with so that you can keep your eyes on it rather than forcing it into hiding and knowing nothing (again, in moderation - you probably don’t want to run an actual Nazi instance, so if it does bother you you should moderate that post/comment).
And mistakes still happen; it’s easy to accidentally upvote/downvote something by mistake, to misunderstand someone, etc. So yes, I do think banning people based on what they up/downvote is a bad idea.
perfect example is when a nazi says “based” in response to an article about someone being racist and it gets like 20 upvotes. I don’t think anyone reasonable would be against a banwave on something like that.
I would absolutely be against that. Voting should not be bannable outside of vote manipulation itself. If the content is offending, remove that (and possibly ban the user), but not people who vote on it. That’s just stupid “guilty by association” nonsense. And besides, voicing stupid opinions (in moderation) is still better than suppressing free speech.
Lemmy just chooses to hide them to prevent the “chilling effect” where people feel afraid to vote honesty for fear of repercussions.
I find that kinda stupid as well. It leads people to think that their votes are private when literally anyone can view them with a bit of work. Sure the chilling effect sucks but it’s better than misleading people. At the very least they should be warned when they sign up.
Good to know which company should be avoided for buying home appliances. I really hope the notice will be the first thing to show ope when you search their name + HA Integration.
I’d like to add that even if you use full disk encryption and have to enter a password to unlock it they could just install a modified loader that captures your password. Though it’s not necessary something I’d worry about from them.
Heck if they wanted, they could use your machine to mine crypto if they wanted to. Or ransom it with encryption of their own. Or get you in legal trouble in so many other ways like putting incriminating files on your machine.
All of that is unfortunately true about any anticheat and pretty much any software you use, really.
Obviously not if you run it unprivileged in a separate OS, but the vast majority of users don’t even use more than a single (usually not password protected administrator) account.
For the people who do find out about it and it hooks them enough sure, it’s not really forgotten or underrated. But I still think it’s kinda obscure / not well known?
Wait but I already have that diagnosis…?
Where are my Outer Wilds boys at?
Why not judge these instances on their own merit though? If what you say becomes true and is so problematic and rampant that it needs addressing, you can block that instance. But doing so preemptively seems petty and counterproductive at best.
What if there is an instance that selectively reposts from Threads only decent, thoughtful discussions?
Oh and as a side note; if you’re worried about stuff getting more mainstream, toxic and polarized that’s kinda inevitable if you want more people using the fediverse, that’s just how it is when lots of differently thinking people are in one place.
It’s even simpler than that; you probably pay for your SIM credit online / with a card, which is much easier to tie to a person than using cell towers for tracking.
Firefox has a profile manager (the thing that’s also exposed to about:profiles). Run it like firefox -profilemanager
and you’ll get a profile switcher.
Run firefox -profilemanager -no-remote
if you want to open multiple different profiles at once (only the original one without “no-remote” will open new tabs when you click on links outside the browser). You’ll probably want to make a shortcut for different profiles though, not sure from memory what it is (but probably -profile ProfileName
) and then you can easily use profiles.
The support is actually pretty decent, just kinda hidden. You don’t get a profile switcher because the browsers are completely separate, they don’t really know about each other.
It generates code and then you can use a call to some runtime execution API to run that code, completely separate from the neural network.
