LOL cm0002 is banned so this won't get crossposted to lemmy.nazi now boohoo
Damn, I didn't know the crusade he believed in extended beyond .ml
This was posted to lemmy.ml, and even when banned it still got cross posted so maybe it just doesn't show the message anymore? I have a funny idea though and am going to watermark the memes
icwydt 🍿 it only took about 70 minutes to 🪝 a 🐟
😆I'm dying. Such a stupid thing to occupy myself with on a Monday lol
Ah shit. Honestly I don't understand this platform as much as I should. To busy trying to make it to focus on what is important to me (again).
Our memes comrades. They are for all. But do as you wish, I would never tell you how to live your life.
For each force, an equal and opposite reaction. This drink is in honor to the next one who finds out.
May they never fuck around again. In this life, and the next. Me too, thanks.
Well, in my opinion LW is just too big and poorly gatekept. Having one huge instance that dwarfs all others is bad architecture for the fediverse and there are a lot of alts and people on there hell bent on silencing others. Before my instance defederated LW every single post we would make would get to -5 within 20 or so minutes regardless of what is posted and it was a huge amount of different user accounts doing it, I can see the votes as the instance admin. This made it really un fun to post when it immediately got buried on everyone's feed and our posts never got any comments as it felt like posting into the void. We went through a lot of changes since then I appointed a friend to be admin, we defederated LW and Lemmy.ca and turned off downvotes. Now we have a pretty good comment to post ratio and more active users than I ever expected for a small vegan focused instance.
In terms of them being "our memes" the joke is going to be funnier than that. Only because this guy is fighting imaginary "tankie" demons and reposting literally everything so he can spare others from being exposed to tankies. If you read their reasoning it is totally daft. The idea is to hide a faint water mark that just says cm0002 is a 🤡 on different posts and see if they get reposted. I just think that would be hilarious.
Side point, but I've added some additional settings and tweakability for votes here, that'll be in the next major release.
Adds 3 options for post upvotes, comment upvotes, post downvotes, and comment downvotes:
- ability to allow all votes
- allow local only (block federated), or
- disable all
So hopefully that will help fight vote brigading.
Awesome! I'm excited to test out some different settings for votes. Especially disabling them, but I'll run it by the users first. Thanks for everything!
np!
Or a school teacher (that way they can enforce bully solidarity by punishing kids who stand up to their bullies)
Sometimes I feel we are doing the next generation a disservice by teaching them to not bully others. Shouldn't adults stop bullying each other before we ask the younger generation to do the same?
To be the example to aspire towards for the next generation. Maybe next life...
