They must have something to hide 🤨

Imagine paying for an OS to have ads in it. 🐃💩

Thankfully we have Linux/BSD

It doesn’t matter that you can disable it, this stuff shouldn’t be in the OS in the first place

Yeah newpipe is so good its not even close. Play in the background feature with custom playlists without needing an account is just the best.

Sad news. RIP

Yes that would be great.

Thanks. There has to be a bot for this on one of the instances.

Facebook messenger did the same . You used to be able to talk to fb users via google chat all from pidgin or another xmpp client. They are a hostile actor on the web who have already proven themselves untrustworthy. Let’s not forget the Snowden docs or Cambridge Analytica

I didn’t visit the site, i said I’m speaking in a general sense about trolls.

I mean trolls in general, I’m not calling for defederation. I’m trying to point out it won’t solve their problem. I’m playing devils advocate and saying they’re will always be something someone finds offensive and to block problematic individuals not the whole instance.

They are just saying whatever to get a rise out of people like 4chan. The goal is chaos they want everyone to react and ban instances.

They don’t magically go away when they are defederated. They will sign up to other open instances and plan their raids from the defederated one which we will have no visibility of. Then they can go from instance to instance causing chaos and breaking up the network as each one defederates.

Then you are back at square one where it is a user problem.

I’m not supporting this particular instance but its a problem that needs to be considered and defederation is a short term fix but will result it bigger problems down the line.

The blueprint is there to kill the network. Make a load of accounts, spam dumb shit until you are defederated… Rinse and repeat.

Is it not a much more powerful message if the fediverse as a whole down votes the stuff into oblivion. If they are isolated it becomes an us vs them game with them playing the victim.

When they see that by and large they are ignored and downvoted they might grow up and realize they are acting like dicks.

Yes exactly. Just like there are idiots in real life, we ignore them and move on. Everyone is entitled to an opinion even if we disagree with it. Sure people can spout some nonsense devoid of facts we can down vote if thats the case .

You might disagree with someone on politics but like the same sports team for example. There are humans on either side so like in real life we can get along and don’t need to agree on everything.

If something is illegal or its hate speech or something like that then report and block the user and the content.

If you don’t like a community you can block it but if we shut off instances all of the time I can guarantee you the fediverse will just turn into isolated echo chambers and we’ll all be forced back to corporate walled gardens.

If we can coexist in real life we can coexist here.

We need our views challenged to grow. Being corrected is a good thing thats how we learn. Life is short at the end of the day let’s not try to take it too serious.

Good news. Im on lemmy.world but I’m sure it will work out. As there is no corporation the users and admins can collectively work on share and own the tools for moderations.

I think its more so related to product placements. Cool community art is encouraged and I guess its no harm to link to your portfolio for users to check out. If people can link to their games or code why shouldnt you be able to link to your art.

I’d say make a community and I’m sure others will join. Cool artwork by the way

Not a good look. I get its the admins choice and all but it just wiped out a lot of my subscriptions. Its not a good look from the perspective of new users and increases the number of duplicate communities across instances.

I had hopes for it but I guess I’m one of the lucky ones who signed up for lemmy.world.

I think they should just ban problematic users not the whole instance.
