And how many people answer that on Sunday night?

What I'm getting at is a major website has at least a skeleton staff that can do something, even if that's just pulling the plug.

I don't even reply to most work texts after hours unless it's someone saying they have to use sick leave. I don't expect people hosting Lemmy as a hobby to be on call 24/7.

But I hope afterwards they're transparent about what happened and how they're going to stop it from happening again. If not, it's easy to hop instances

What impact?

As long as you dont go on lemmy.world, it's not going to redirect you to all the stupid websites.

And I doubt whatever they're posting (if they're posting anything) is getting upvoted, so you won't see it anywhere else.

And where are you getting "malware" from?

People are acting like it's some crazy hack, and not the 4chan rejects from exploding heads finally guessing an admins password a week after they got defederated. And after all that time chasing the mailman, they had no idea what to do when they guessed it

But this does highlight an issue with instances. I doubt the handful of admins know each other. Like, maybe an email, but for the most part if shit like this happens during "off hours" it might be a while before the top admin even knows there's an issue

We were/are worried that there’s a lack of direction and they’re just generating mysteries without any intention of solving them.

Yeah, that's the most likely ending.

It might be a fun ride for another couple seasons, but I have no faith there'll be a good ending

Every argument against pineapple on pizza can be made about tomatoes.

Why is half of it asking for investments?

Wouldn't it be a better idea to just link the actual Daily Beast article

Wedge something under the lock so it stays up, then put tape over it to hold it in place.

Pretty sure they're out of air by now.

Even if they made it to the surface, you can't open it from the inside. There's no rescue mission, just recovery

Volume.

On Reddit I browsed "new" or "rising" and just subs I was subscribed too was enough for a steady stream of content.

On Lemmy even including all instances, there's not a whole lot on "new".

Which is good, because it makes it easier to find communities to subscribe too and also the problematic ones so you can block them and never see them again.

But low users mean most communities are dead. There's a Fantasy Football sub for example, there's 3 other people on it tho, so it won't really be very useful this season.

Everytime I see posts like this, it's hard not to think OP isn't just trolling or are just also bigoted and that's why they don't see an issue with it...

Maybe your problem is you just keep asking social media users instead of reading one of the many, many articles outlining it.

She might not openly say bigoted things, but it's pretty obvious she holds bigoted views. Like, someone can be bigoted even if they don't admit it.

They navigated by getting text messages from the ship...

That's fucking insane when you're going miles under the sea

Also, there's no way to open it from the inside, they're bolted in.

So even if they surfaced, they'll still run out of air if they're not found soon.

Twitter will abide by the law but will not go further, Musk said during the interview. He claimed hate speech had decreased by 30 percent since he took over, even as Lapix presented him with statistics saying the opposite — including a study by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue exposing a 105 percent increase in antisemitic posts.

Pressed by the interviewer, the billionaire, a self-proclaimed freedom of expression absolutist, said the definition of hate speech shouldn't be too broad or it could lead to censorship. Shown tweets rejoicing about the migrant boat disaster off Greece last week, Musk conceded they were "distasteful" but should remain online as long as they're not illegal.

His definition of hate speech is just shit he disagrees with.

He agrees with anti-lgtbq and antisemitism, so to him, that's not hate speech
