But it is largely human-curated and indexed. That's great for training AI, like Reddit.

We just added it as the old frontend was getting hammered by bots - it helped a lot.

There are lists of bots that instance Admins can block for a range of reasons.

Anything online can be scraped but big firms might run into regulatory trouble if they are caught randomly scraping sites without consent. At the moment, the big social media apps have a tonne of content to train on in tightly controlled conditions, so they don't really need to go into the wild, yet. However, we need to be vigilant, block them and make a fuss if we catch them at it.

That's the bit that made me laugh: "nothing to see here, we've been doing this for a while. What, you didn't know? Not our fault you are unobservant."

Weird that we are only now just starting to be easily able to find out who owns our land. Might make an interesting layer on the !osm@feddit.uk.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and suggest they meant "his partner Louise".

I was listening to the report on Radio 4 - the murders were heart-breaking enough but throwing Andrew Tate into the mix made me want to cry. It just feels like all the (albeit limited) progress that we've made over the last few decades is slipping between out fingers like sand and I am worried for the young generation of boys growing up with this constantly in the background, as well as the young women who have to navigate that minefield. Hopefully, this will help to underline quite how corrosive this kind of thing is but I don't know how you push back against it effectively, although the Men's Lib movement might be part of it.

Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if this started happening at Lemmy too.

You missed the Vegan Cat Food Wars then.

“We have done this in the past for quarantined communities and found that it did help to reduce exposure to bad content, so we are experimenting with this sitewide,” according to the main post. Reddit “may consider” expanding the warnings in the future to cover repeated upvotes of other kinds of actions as well as taking other types of actions in addition to warnings.

Thoughtcrime time.

Bigger picture - what if Xitter, Meta and Reddit (all run by Trump humpers) started centrally compiling this kind of thing to flag up "persons of interest"?

I was mostly referring to the fact that the day Bluesky decides to ban bridges, ATProto won’t be part the Fediverse as per the definition of the comment above.

It will, Friendica uses the BS API.

Got it: https://buddyverse.one/

Yeah, that's a tricky one - it does have local content but this is about helping reduce confusion and helping people sign up, and it won't help in that regard. So I'll remove it from the list.

Good luck.

A bit like the secret Greenland Army hiding under the ice until the day they are needed.

https://lemuria.es/ still seems to be running a Lemmy instance, so there is hope. 🤞

@Blaze@feddit.org @Sunshine@lemmy.ca did I miss any?

https://lemuria.es/ still has a Lemmy instance running, if any Spaniards are enthusatic, they could try emailing the @admin, @contact, etc addresses and see if the owner will transfer it over to you. I'm sure we can rummage up enough help to get it back up and running if you get control.
