web of trust, or mywot. puts a little sign next to every link telling you if they're trustworthy. fucken game changer. botsight is a great one for twitter. and buzzkill, well, kills buzzfeed
when has the narrative ever changed away from that attitude? look at how mutahar has acted - knowing that we're doing the right thing but still throwing as much contempt into everything as he possibly can. the only times that people side with mods is when we're taking enormous damage so that general users don't cop it instead, or if there's a power-mad despot who should never have control of anything larger than a toy train
nah, crypto is smoke-and-mirrors and he knows that this isn't, so he's run away
the instance that i'm typing from is being hosted in someone's cupboard with some pretty off-the-shelf parts. i'v probably got enough parts for something similar laying around my house. if instances stay to low populations and the workload is distributed amongst all of them, it's not actually stressing the system all that much at all.
that being said, as soon as the aussie zone sysadmin asks for financial assistance, i'll be putting my hand into my pocket. again, if enough people do that then it's not much of a cost at all
ahh i just noticed where you're from. i'm trying to link to lemmy.world. your instance hasn't let me log in.
it shouldn't, but i cannot see either c/dub or c/reggae even tho i have DMed myself the literal links to them. maybe the instances need to sync again? i think the last time that happened was something close to 15 hourts ago
i can see where you're coming from with that, you want to protect your userbase from malicious individuals. that's noble. it's sad to see you go, but if you must then you must.
lol nah, the best mods are the ones that nobody notices because they just deal with everything immediately and with a friendly and happy attitude
oh cheers, thank you! i was not aware of that. thanks again!
general user experience is more important for a userbase leaving a website. mods are a vast minority in those numbers, and people don't notice them gone until the shit hasn't just hit the fan but has splattered everywhere and they're looking for whoever the fuck is going to clean it up, or to put it another way a few days during which the mod in question has been sipping wine and sunbathing my the pool instead of, well, cleaning up shit
excuse the rant. as far as i'm aware, most mods i speak to use a desktop with the mod toolbox extension installed
i rekon you're right. the exodus from digg that populated reddit in the first place was a result of a UI change that users wouldn't tolerate, and thanks to the shit quality of the official reddit app compared to the third-party apps, a large chunk of the userbase is going to have to decide whether they want to deal with a shitty UI or not

we knew we had the power position when lemmy's world stood it's ground and didn't explode on the day before yesterday.
