The problem here is that I can't read, you seem to have managed to get to my comment before I deleted it.

You are 100% correct though.

A lot of smaller businesses just aren't bothering to deal with it right now, relying on getting the opposing IT department to just whitelist their address is apparently working for them with their mail volume. I am talking smaller businesses, but also not mom and pop stores, we're talking national chains, etc. that just don't care about the impact. That is also assuming that whoever manages the receiving mail server has even managed to keep a policy to block items that fail SPF/DKIM in the first place.

Gmail and Yahoo are pushing and I love that, but they're just a bit ahead of the game.

On the reddit end, the API blackout was probably responsible for the largest reddit migration, around June of last year. It's the high point for active monthly users for Lemmy on fediverse observer still and we had a lot less lemmy instances then. All those other items would be true beyond turning off signups, there were many conversations about performance issues along with a lot of concerns about moderation.

Probably, look into dnsmasq? I believe that was the easiest way with openwrt back in the day.

You're not wrong, but I feel that level of support for one of their releases would be a bit out of character for Bethesda (Without the long-term monetization present in games like Fallout 76). Especially so with the trend of Bethesda's comments indicating that the consumers are the ones who are wrong for not liking some of the more problematic game design decisions.

I really want Kbin to succeed, but Ernest seems to see the project as something he checks on once every few months and then ignores, but he still seems to want to be the only one who gets to make decisions. I get that he has stuff going on in his life, but the solution to all these problem starts with communicating and working with the community, not disappearing for months at a time and refusing to work with the people who try to help him. You just can't have a successful project with an approach like that.

If you're talking about the API blackout, there is evidence that it was broken briefly, but there's nothing indicating it was purposefully disabled for any reasonable amount of time.

There are even posts from the lemmy.ml admins about how difficult it was dealing with the users who had migrated and how difficult it was to deal with the new users. Maybe you're talking about a different migration, but I have no idea where you got this idea from.

Saying anything negative about China is a violation of rule 1 on lemmy.ml from the admins perspective. They classify anything critical that gains any attention as Sinophobia and file it under bigotry.

lemmy.ml was one of the targets in one of the larger reddit migration waves before we found out how heavy handed the censorship was there at the time and there's a few large communities that cling to it. And, it's fair, the communities there don't typically generate anything where they would reasonably expect to be affected, but still if you block the whole instance, you basically just have to go without as there frequently aren't similar communities to fill the void.

The goal isn't to give you stuff you want to watch, the goal is to do just enough that is just good enough to keep the highest amount of users subscribed. We like to think those are the same thing and they are usually aligned, but don't have to be. It's better for Netflix if you find those slower and just keep coming back to look around, kind of like some frustrating streaming gatcha game.

Looking at demographics, predominately is almost an understatement for the Islamic population, looks like maybe up to 96%? I'm treading carefully on my wording here because I know anything along these lines is always sensitive, but it sounds like they'd be inclined to be supportive of Islamic standards, I just kind of wonder where this ban comes from?

You aren’t free to do anything unless we live in the wild.

I think that would solve a lot of the problems if that was still something you could do. I think a lot of people yearn to live in the 'wild' without realizing all the downsides that come with that and I think that thought is more popular because that's just not an option in today's world. And, I mean like the real wild, no laws, no government, etc.

Vaporwave flag is definitely best flag. Feel like it had to be on purpose.

You're objectively wrong.

Objectively.

maybe... /s

What happened on March 3rd? (Mass increase in active users)

Oh man, and what happened on April 3rd? (Mass drop in average comments)

Did I miss a meeting where we decided to just have massive shifts on the 3rd of every month? Is something big happening now, am I missing it?

I know.

Kansai region specifically, that is a bit more useful info, but that's not new either.

I'm still very interested in where Empire Strikes Back stands.

Yo, we need to know which two so we can judge you.
