Will we look back at today's "go green" initiatives as stupid and inadequate?

  • Use them in my industry, or rather are starting to, and this is apparent.

    • I miss reddit

  • This is basically my take as well. I do understand OP's sadness or frustration, but I do think it will pass.

    That said, the world may never again have a home for so many full and rich niche communities. What u/Spez has done is a kind of cultural terrorism.

    • What's a company secret you can share now that you no longer work there?

  • Have always thought the same!

  • S&P and Moody's were collaborating since at least 2000 on the pricing of the so-called "esoteric" structured instruments associated with mortgaged-backed securities that caused the 4Q07 crash. They collaborated via the competitive intelligence firm Washington Information Group (which does not seem to be around anymore.) The collaboration was almost certainly illegal (IANAL). They did this because neither wanted a price war when rating these. I did sign an NDA with S&P that kept me out of the industry for two years. I left the industry shortly after that and went back to what I used to do.

  • Wait has .world said they would federate with Threads?

  • While this is a transparent and shitty power plant by the loathsome VVD, I am hoping it backfires. D66 is almost strong enough to lead a coalition of reasonable parties. I mean, it's not the shift far left that I would like (and think we need), but it'd be a hell of a lot better than VVD + to the right of VVD remaining in power. I don't think the BBB has a lot of momentum left either.

    • Are lemmy.world and mlmym.org federated?

  • Thanks!

  • So it's a scaling problem. Can we not fight bots with bots? And thanks for the answers, btw, really helping me understand more about the underlying architecture, which before seemed rather abstract to me.

  • I see your point. But the owner of the server/instance can still kick the user and their community out right?

  • Post saved for when I have time to do this, thanks!

  • But at least we could defederate those instances once we realize what they are doing, yes?

  • Thanks everyone for informing me - can you use the same credentials to log into that interface as you use here?
