You're right - I must have forgot this was on Lemmy. If we were on FB or something like that then not everyone would get the implied /s - but fediverse users are quite a bit better in this regard.

It's unfair to point that out without also pointing out the current GOP presidential candidate is a former registered Democrat in Republican clothing.

Wondering if this is some kind of loophole - by a technicality, he's not guilty of vote buying if he doesn't actually pay up?

Oddly, on a personal level, I have no beef with the guy.

So I was just pointing out another example where this user could have tried to troll or inflame me, but instead went with the "no-beef" approach, for whatever reason.

After seeing how that user banned DMs, I don't see how anyone could be against the current permaban. I was just pointing out that somehow I was one of the rare few who somehow got along with that person while they were still here.

Ah - I can see why they'd prefer an automod (they'd not have to worry about configuring or changing the server software in that case).

Unfortunately, as far I can tell, none of the existing automods out there support deleting posts by a rate limit. It's not impossible to add this functionality, but it'd take a bit of work and time from a dev.

For example, I think for lemmymodbot one can modify the User Processor at https://github.com/noenfugler/LemmyModBot/blob/master/lemmymodbot/processors/userprocessor.py to accomplish this.

Under line 8, add this line to create a user/seen hash

userpostseenhash = {}

and replace the entire execute function with something like this,

if content.actorid in self.userpostseenhash:
if int(datetime.now().timestamp 1000) - int(userpostseenhash[content.actorid].timestamp 1000) = 300 1000:
handle.removething("Posting too frequently, take a break")
self.userpostseenhash[content.actorid] = datetime.now()

(Oh, and at the top of the file, also add above the first line,

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

)

But for lemmy.world (even if just looking at /m/politics) it would likely OOM from the in-memory hash due to the volume of users, so it'd need to be extended leverage the database for the lookup.

Something similar could be implemented on top of threativore, I think around this line might be the easiest place to implement the check of the username/timestamp, https://github.com/db0/threativore/blob/main/threativore/threativore.py#L285

Edit: Forgot to add, all the above code changes are completely untested by me, use at your own risk, etc.

I suppose it's possible to have the best of both worlds - from the fediverse side.

Thank you, you've just made my day.

Exactly what I was thinking. Even lemmy.world has https://lemmy.world/c/conservative - so why does the instance have to be or support politically neutrality as a whole? Just join the magazines that fit your taste.

Even for political news specifically, I'm sure there are similar magazines to https://lemmy.world/c/moderatepolitics - or alternatively, one can fill the gap by subscribing to an RSS feed from the many RSS-to-fediverse options out there, like https://lemm.ee/post/336615

Coming from someone who successfully did exactly that - because it's quite tough. Immigration to most countries is quite competitive and expensive, with a lot of hoops to jump through. Those who can do it typically are much better off than the average Tommy and Gina (edit: Bon Jovi for those downvoters who don't get the reference).

Unfortunately, true. Countries in the Anglosphere generally don't allow immigration at all past the age of 50 or 55 unless you're married to a citizen or something, so odds are good you aren't even eligible to get in by the time you hit midlife.

And going outside of the Anglosphere requires becoming fluent in a language other than English - and even then it's not so easy to immigrate.

Of course, one can always head to Svalbard - they don't require work visas or residence visas, as per https://www.sysselmesteren.no/en/entry-and-residence/ - but it's pretty cold that close to the North Pole. Plus you'd have to learn Norwegian.

Which is very unfortunate. I do see hope here, as 41% means a majority of Americans are against such things (since almost all Democrats would also agree, obvs).

Remember that the GOP used to be the party of Abraham Lincoln who ended the Civil War and slavery.

There are still some who hope to restore the party to its old glory, despite how far it's fallen since.

Ditto, but this is actually a bonus for me.

"Didn't you see my email and message last evening?"

"Not until I got in today, because it came after I had logged off and I can't see that stuff on my personal phone because, you know, IT policy."

You know what?

This is a really good point. According to the article,

the margin of error of plus or minus 5.93 percent.

Meanwhile, it also said the poll was saying,

45 percent to 43 percent

So in the extreme case, rather than being down by 2 points for Harris, it could be up for Harris by almost 4 points.

The Jewish voting block, although largely Blue by tradition, does have have a real alternative in the GOP candidate (since he'd stick with the Israel Prime Minister no matter how low they go in Gaza, no matter what, as long as he's not personally insulted).

This is part of the reason why Dems have had to walk such a fine line around Gaza - it's next to impossible navigate without offending either group. That said, it's difficult to understand folks of this persuasion who'd actively support the GOP guy here - both alternatives are bad so you'd actually pick the worse one?

Pleased to have been able to contribute. And, no rush here, but happily awaiting your reply - either way I'm bound to learn something new.

Good grief, that means this lie has been successfully peddled for nearly half a century.

Eh, I mean they are a nuclear armed State. This is bad, but a crumbling nuclear power would probably detonate in a lot more ways than one, if you catch my meaning.

I optimistically have hope that things will get fixed, once Dems are able to drop the filibuster so new legislation at the federal level is possible again.

Though that depends on Dems retaining the Senate in this election, or taking it back in 2026.

Yes, that one who has allowed her views to evolve and showing a willingness to compromise to show she'll support the wishes of everyone in the US.

Of the two, who has better odds on (for example) being convinced to return to a ban on fracking? The one who previously sought to ban it, or the one who racistly said that climate change was a hoax from a particular country half way around the world?
