Yup, came here to say that as well. it's al bots. The active users graph is much more realistic.
And I've been seeing some...odd looking.... comments recently from users at instances known for being mostly bots. Some of these comments really look AI generated, and have a suspicious number of upvotes.
I just noticed we were at 0.18! Nice work @smorks! Now to take this thing for a spin and see how it handles on the curves!
Edit: I just looked at those Release Notes. That's an impressive list of bug fixes and improvements! And also a very impressive list of new contributors helping develop this software. Kudos to all of them!
Both lemmy.world and lemmy.ml, and some other instances, were victims of a DDOS attack due to a bug in the new 0.18 Lemmy software
See this post for more info.
Well, that's a brilliant workaround until this is fixed. Thanks!
Freedom of expression is very much a two way street, and does not mean 'free from consequences' if someone says something vile.
I am quite free to make rules, and enforce them, for the communities I moderate, just as someone else is free to find a forum where, for example, they can express vile racist, homophobic slurs.
Tolerance cannot extend to tolerating others' intolerance, or discourse is not possible.
This:
Article summarized by AI below
and this:
The article argues that artificial intelligence (AI) is not a threat to humanity
is a rather funny juxtaposition of statements. Of course, an evil AI that was a threat to humanity would summarize the article that way!
It's coming. You said that 'it's been fixed in a recent release', but no, it's been fixed in latest version they're working on right now that hasn't been released yet. There is a release candidate being tested, but it has a few bugs still so there will be at least one more release candidate that has to be tested for a bit before being released.
User migration as well as community migration in case of instances going into a black hole would indeed be useful features.
This has been known for a while, but this information seems to be gaining more traction lately with the general public. The recommendations are to ensure you have an exhaust fan that vents to the outside above your range, and to use it each and every time your range is turned on. Of course, that's not something most people do.
If there are other useful and safer alternatives then it makes sense to scrap the wire bristle brushes entirely.
I don’t have any fancy graphs to show the community’s growth

Glad I could help with my elite graphing skills!
Yup, it still works. The hose was replaced long ago, so that's not original. I have a really nice cordless Dyson that I use for day to day vacuuming, but this one lives downstairs and still does the job when its asked of it.
TIL the Technology Connections guy is on Lemmy via Mastadon.
And that's awesome!
