Imagine being in Taiwan and having full access to information about China and the west and still shilling for China. Those types of people should be looking for a dominatrix, not a political philosophy…

That's kind of the history of humanity regarding religion. To some degree when the religious prophets were alive it make sense, but hundreds of years later it's a story book (or oral tradition) and people still strive for the authority.

We haven't really had that many teachers like Carl Sagan who describe the history and our favoring of authority - inability to question them. It's pretty weird, as they often aren't attractive or good speakers, but you see people just accept almost anything they say. I mean in the USA I witnessed so many people who would trust Rush Limbaugh and Alex Jones kind of blindly, and there is some mechanism at play that humanity in total seems to keep engaging.

Edit 4: The Shadow-Ban doesn’t seem to work on r/help but definitely on r/hfy.

I've seen this come up with a large number of links on Reddit that were even to BBC website. It comes down to the subreddit settings on spam filtering...

I think the whole process of automatic hiding of spam filtering for user accounts is a bad-faith experience. People on Reddit are infamous for not actually reading links and wanting bots to bring in text and such, and I think a lot of the anti-spam measures cultivated this for a very long time.

One thing that crowdsoucing never was very good at was spam filtering... because too many would sell out and buy upvotes/likes on Twitter/Reddit etc.

lemmy.ml is back up!

Both lemmy.ml and lemmy.world down over 30 minutes now

lemmy.ml and lemmy.world are both down right now

The comic's suit questions if AI models can function without training themselves on protected works.

I doubt a human can compose chat responses without having trained at school on previous language. Copyright favors the rich and powerful, established like Silverman.

Beehaw upgraded too. Lemmy.ml seems to be delivering none of the messages for past few hours, it is erroring constantly for a local user.

FYI: I've been unable to reply to direct messages

"Save" just spins forever, doesn't show in sent messages.

I have configured a rate limiter which will prevent future DoS from the specific method that was used against us today.

For those of us running other Lemmy instances, what should we be looking for?
