There's definitely bot farming. Someone i know on Mastodon posted this yesterdar: Post in spanish

this is a translations made by google and I changed some words: "I set up an instance of Lemmy, to test a few things. I passed it on WhatsApp to a group of people, so they could look at it. I always had the federation turned off because it's a test instance and I don't want to screw anyone in other instances. I had the configuration that it sends me an email if someone asks to register. Eventually trying configurations, I ended up leaving it with open registers. Last night I got about twenty new account registrations, with names that seem to want to imitate subreddits (ragequit, yolo, hype, things like that; I don't know subreddits like that but it sounds like they might exist). And various things:

  1. This instance doesn't connect to anything, nobody (apart from a group of people who reacted with total apathy to the issue) had that domain. It was not published, it was not federating. Registrations came just the same. It occurs to me that since it is lemmy. there is a bot testing that scheme with different domains.
  2. Lemmy sent me an email letting me know that these people applied for registration, but I can't see the registration application anywhere, because there was no application, there was registration. And that email is turned off by default. With a Lemmy instance configured "out of the box" you wouldn't know.
  3. Maybe it's me, but from the UI (at least on the phone) I can't find a way to see the list of users. I know the names from the email that came to me. The only thing I found is the search engine, and there I can search one by one.

All of this seems to me like a nightmare to moderate. And the truth is that I do not blame the instances of Lemmy at all that are blocking the instances that have open registration."

I feel both that rupees are more scarce than in BOTW and that I need more rupees to do things in TOTK. Inflation really hit Hyrule hard after the calamity was gone.

Yes, of course. I need to explore more caves and wells too. And even familiar places have changed. But I feel like I went too fast because, despite the changes, it's still very familiar. It took me no effort to get to the main villages, because I kinda knew how to get there. It felt familiar yet new.

But that familiarity kept me from exploring the new places -and the dangerous places in the surface too-. I want to focus on that now. It's gonna be fun.

That works for everyone in fmhy.ml instance. Sadly not for me, but i'm interested in finding Kbin magazines. Do you have a tool similar to the comunities finder for lemmy instances?

I am still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, mainly focusing on side quests and exploration right now. With so much to explore, this is going to take a long time.

This is me right now. I owe myself do some exploring of the depths and sky islands. Having played BOTW the surface is so familiar that I kinda went quickly around it and probably advanced way too quickly on the main quests. It's time for me to slow down and do the exploration.

We have a huge issue with misinformation and this actually helps resolve it.

I'm not really sure about that. Bad SEO is something that still exists, and with huge sites like Reddit gone, the bad SEO sites become more prominent which is not necessarily the site with actual articles and sources.

Of course the solution to this is not reddit back but stopping SEO and having better curation of sites in search engines somehow.

All in all it's also a testament of how bad internet is now. All the information is concentrated in few sites that, if gone, gets lost.

Both Vim and Git really clicked with me when I had to revise and rewrite a paper. Sure, my graphic editor could do most things, but it really felt comfortable and quick on vim. I now use it for all my text editing, but that was my click moment.

They're not really my cup of tea so I usually dont try them. The only two battle Royale games i enjoyed though are Tetris 99 and Super Mario 35.

It's the most valuable for me for sure, and I love everything about it. They're back but currently restricted. I'm really curious about what is their next step.

I'm already on Lemmy so I don't see any point (at least yet) on joining kbin, I just want to subscribe to their magazines from Lemmy :)

I am just waiting on r/askhistorians. Whatever they do next I will follow.

edit: i should clarify that if they decide to stay on reddit, then probably my reddit user will become an askhistorians lurker.
