I tend to pick D, the instance that is federated with most other instances so most of the interactions are visible or C.

Neat, might have to try that sometime

Are there options with lower fees? It’s not much but if people pay per view it adds up quickly.

I think something like this is going to be a necessity to make a federated video platform work.

What are the transaction fees for USDC?

Thanks for the update, good luck with your trip.

“They’re active on here all the time because they hate being here”

They’re hosting Nextcloud, it’s not realistic to expect them to fix/implement E2EE when the upstream project hasn’t been able to for the past few years.

Nextcloud’s E2EE support isn’t great. It does exist and is mentioned on their site but it has a lot of issues.

Imagine if someone teaches them about volunteer work

I don’t think this is a good idea. I would prefer the votes of new accounts having a lower impact.

I checked the images and so far every image I’ve encountered linked to the users’s lemmy instance’s pictrs instance, none were hosted through a custom trackable image host.

And without the unnecessary www.. This article could be shared with the authors name as user like jason-koebler@404media.co and the category (in this case generative-ai) as a moderator-only community like generative-ai@404media.co.

Yes I remember the lemmy.world servers being DDOS’ed every couple of days and having to switch between 3 clients and the webinterface because all of the apps were missing some features. The alternative frontends like photon and tesseract have really improved and imo should be the new defaults.

Microsoft have been endorsing Linux recently for this reason.

I doubt that’s still the reason, I think they endorse it because they’re making a shit ton of money using it on Azure.

Even if the instance doesn’t have any rules about it?

It’s a spammer AFAIK, I considered the possibility of it being used to get IP’s and deanonimize users through the image but it seems this isn’t the case since the image points to a generic pictrs file from a Lemmy instance and most clients / frontends proxy image loading.

Welcome

There is a Firefox extension that does automatically (although it seems to be a bit unreliable). Maybe someone can extract that part into a library and make a not with it.

Lemmy has also taken over advertiser focused moderation patterns. A great example is NSFW. What is NSFW exactly? Not safe for work? Why is only that relevant?
NSFW is just used to mark advertiser unfriendly content. Why else group nakedness, violence, sexual content, and death in the same category?
It’s way too vague to be useful, you have no idea if you’re going to see a nipple or a murder.

Content warnings like on Mastodon are better, but don’t provide a way to reliably filter out categories. I personally think it would be way better to have specific nested tags for certain types of material.
