Is anyone here doing anything special for Pi day this year?
Still a racist troll, you still deserve it by the way.

YDI, you have a long history of racist commenting and this isn't even the worst thing you've said. Consider yourself lucky you weren't banned much sooner for the racist garbage you've been spewing.
You stated that MFBC is biased but when asked to explain how you not only refused to explain how, but you lashed out at the person asking. YDI, you were being an entitled piece of shit, and are continuing to be one now.
Out of curiosity why was it removed anyway?
You chose to openly and willingly spew debunked transphobic talking points as well as thinly veiled transphobia. That was your choice. I'm sure that you knew very well that these types of exclusionary arguments aren't taken well on platforms and communities which are protective of trans people or even run by trans people. YDI
Oh and about those preemptive bans, I don't blame them, some of that is an automated part of Lemmy when doing instance bans for remote users, but even the ones where people manually banned you. I don't blame them either, you've made yourself well known in holding and acting on transphobic and trans exclusionary beliefs, why would they want you posting and hanging out in their trans-friendly communities when they already know you're someone to do that kind of shit.
I have seen instances ask for very long essays before, maybe they stopped doing it or aren't around anymore but really the idea of interviewing users before signup isn't conducive to having a social platform with a thriving userbase, it's conducive to having small private clubs.
Some idiot is probably going to say something about growth not being important but that is blatantly not true, no one wants to use a platform with a small handful of people in it, and normies aren't going to want to join a platform they have to beg to join. It's better than invite only like Tildes sure, but not by much.
Email verification and captcha are good, they're annoying and could be better but they're still good. I was more thinking along the lines of not having a questionnaire with manual review, to be fair the way lemm.ee does it isn't that bad but the way other instances do it by asking new users to play 20 questions or share their life story isn't welcoming and will do more to hinder the migration from Reddit and adoption of the Fediverse.
That's not really relevant in this case though, federated profiles don't contain any of that information. They just contain the public posts and comments and anything the person might have added to their profile bio directly. They don't contain personal information of any kind.
It’s a shame that there is so much potential friction on sign-up, but at the same time, I don’t see us reducing the friction on lemm.ee any time soon, because this is the lesser evil compared to bot sign-ups etc that we have seen in the past.
Is there any reason why an automoderation system isn't used to weed out malicious actors, i.e. downvote trolls, spammers, people posting suspicious links. sh.itjust.works already does something like this on their server to deal with trolls, bots, and spammers. They can probably explain it better if you're interested.

Maybe the reference is lost on me but I'll assume this is another bad faith accusation.
@[email protected] @[email protected] This person is just asking for an instance ban at this point. I think that comment could be considered borderline sexual harassment.
Just wanted to share for people who moderate communities that Tesseract lets you see who voted on a post or comment. This means that as moderators you finally have the ability to take action against users who downvote every post in your community or who vote with multiple accounts, or similar situations.
This might not be a new thing but it's something no one is talking about and I just wanted to let you all know its a thing.
It works on this instance: https://t.lemmy.dbzer0.com/

I've been playing Journey recently and was inspired to make this meme.

Tried reporting some of the abuse on SDF and the Nazi troll just banned me for being a "Libtard"
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Reported less than five of this dipshit's posts and he ended up banning me from all of his communities. Doesn't really surprise me. I've known that reports on Lemmy are faulty and Admin only reports, or more control of who receives them has been suggested but Lemmy's devs never listen.
My advice is to just send messages directly to your Admins as well as his admins, then he can't intercept them.
Really thought the old one was much cooler, does anyone else agree?
I mean it is what it is ultimately but I always thought the older one looked much cooler. While the new one looks very flat and plain.
What do you guys think though?

RealDebrid happily sharing customer's information that's still retained on their servers 😅

This behavior is very concerning, especially since it's not a one-off, their other replies on that account aren't much better.

I’ve had the ActivityPub plugin active on this blog for a while now and it’s been happily federating to mastodon for just as long. However it never worked on lemmy, and I always assumed it was just not set for it and was primarily focused on microblogging since lemmy was not even mentioned in the supported software.
This was until one of the lemmy developers contacted me, having been informed by a member of our lemmy instance that dbzer0.com was not properly configured for lemmy. I was perplexed of course because I didn’t really do any customization on the wordpress plugin whatsoever. I just used whatever defaults it came with.
Through some back and forth between the developers and me, I eventually started experimenting with the plugin settings, trying to see if any of them would make it behave in a way that lemmy could understand, until one of the options finally did the trick.
As a result, this WordPress blog is now happily existing as a lemmy community [email protected]
’tis a bit of a silly community name, but it works.
Unfortunately the previous posts on this blog are not retrieved automatically, so you won’t be able to see them or their comments in the community, but one can search for a blog url in lemmy and it will discover it and open it for comments. Any comments posted there should also appear as comments under the posts here which is pretty neat!
So if you’re on lemmy or piefed, just visit its community from your own instance and subscribe to it, and new blogposts will appear directly in your lemmy feed. I love apub!
Many thanks to both pferfferle (the apub plugin developer) and the lemmy developers who looked into this!
leave a comment (from lemmy?) to let me know what you think.
Right wingers encouraging others to buy upvotes and downvotes on Reddit to push right-wing politics and suppress their opposition.

PTB. Anyone who knows better is aware that MBFC is extremely biased, their ratings should be taken with a grain of salt. Lund doesn't care and instead chooses to believe their word as gospel. It might even be intentional, Lund has shown in his behaviors and how he moderates a strong conservative and pro-zionist bias, which is concerning to say the least. Might be best to stay away from the communities he moderates.
