Who cares about downvotes? 🙃

Preach it brother!

Don’t understand how people can still use Reddit and ignore all the ickiness.

No shit, Sherlock Wagner Boss

Someone’s getting novichocked

Downvotes ok? 🙂

Yeah I’m that case nothing can be done but say your site had a European operation that would be be covered under GDPR and the US parent would likely pay the fine to continue their operations on the continent

I guess since it’s a twitter competitor it doesn’t affect Lemmy as much right now.

Totally disagree, the more tech savvy can spin up their own single used instances if they want, be fully in control of their own content and participate just like anyone on any large instance bar being defederated. All for basically free

I am in the UK and that’s really useful to know. Thanks

Pihole my is choice too. It’s pretty good, but for some reason video ads still get through even off YouTube? Is it possible to block them?

Hasn’t caught on pfft dude why are you even replying when you clearly know nothing about the tech except for it’s bad for the planet we haven’t even got into how it could be powered why renewables.

Good day to you sir

Nope not an admin, thinking about setting one up tomorrow though.

Except it’s been around for decades and put to good use but you’ve only heard of it from crypto and are referring to crypto.

It’s a small foot print for a real user and expensive for bots who are generating enmasse. It worked on Windows 98 PCs so isn’t really an issue like you describe.

Have you heard of hashcash, it’s POW precursor to bitcoin. It stops spam, was originally developed for email but could be incorporated into Lemmy eventually on sign up. Principal is similar to what you suggest.

I think this is a feature, well the media aspect anyway. Immutable media. The rest can be developed on.

Could this be a DDOS attempt on Lemmy instances, the times you stated match what I see and the instance has started to slow.

We don’t have captchas right now and our admin is out of office this week😬

Feddit.uk is also experiencing massive gains in users, I hope it’s real users, I’m not an admin but been keeping an eye on the stats.

Looping @tom@feddit.uk in case he see’s similar spam users

It’s nice-to-have if shit really did hit the fan economically and hyper inflation took over. Glad the hype is over though.

Lol Chuck Norris jokes, now that’s, a throwback
