Some copywriter had a field day with this headline

Yeah, I’m sure they do

And I bet Nvidia AI systems get to train on that massive pirate haul of literature, now available to Nvidia without worrying about any messy copyright bullshit.

no fucking way

But also when they would ban someone, they would do so from every single community on their instance, including ones that you’ve never even heard of.

this is what I was talking about earlier. I find it to be an absurdly childish overreaction, and the mods & admins on some communities/instances default to this behavior with a ridiculous amount of entitlement. it’s not hard to see just by looking at the modlogs.

when I first joined up during the reddexodus, I followed the lemmy drama a bit, but I’m really over it by now. after 30+ years of following online community drama, I’m just burned out on it. it’s all so petty and childish, it holds no interest for me anymore.

oh, sorry-- .ml

I haven’t personally run afoul of issues on dbzer0, but I’ve seen others complain about it for a while.

OK, maybe so. I blocked that instance a long time ago, and haven’t kept up on recent goings-on. If you say that it’s gotten worse, I’ll take your word for it.

oh, the irony

lol

well, the .ml mods never seem to be the “power-tripping” type of asshole. they would argue and were combative and were definitely assholes, but they didn’t seem to quick to ban people.

The major objection (and why most people left) was because of the explicit political views of the Admins (who also are the main devs for the Lemmy software) and the rampant intolerance of other views by not only them, but the other users of that instance. I ran into users on .ml that were soooo far worse than the shittiest assholes I ever encountered of Reddit or Digg. It’s part of why I’ve switched to PieFed.

Lemmy does help mitigate this by giving the wider community the ability to sort of sequester the trouble-makers and to easily block them.

Someone will register a subreddit, and then a bunch of related ones, so anybody who tries to use any of them has to follow the same set of rules — and if you piss off the wrong person in one, they can ban you from all of them.

This definitely happens here on Lemme, too. There are asshole mods, here who register a ton of communities, and getting banned from one of them instantly means you’re banned from all of them. Possibly even the entire instance. I’ve seen this in the mod logs where someone has a relatively innocuous comment removed just because the mod disagrees with them, then they are suddenly banned from both that community and 10 or 12 other communities. All run by the same moderator.

If you think you escaped asshole mods just because you’re switched over here to Lemmy, think again.

From StumbleUpon to fark to digg to Reddit to Lemmy… Asshole, power-tripping mods are everywhere and aren’t going away.

“But that’s how we print our money!”

Nightshade did work on older models. Newer models adapted to prevent poisoning.

This is a new approach.

It is nice. I would like a way for Mlem to integrate it, but their current solution is still pretty elegant in an of itself, especially because it does not rely on piefed for its functionality. everyone gets this.

Mlem (iOS) doesn’t exactly consolidate comments across cross posts, but it does list, at the top, all of the cross posts, how many comments each one has, and links directly to them.

That’s at least 6 murders for Hercule Poirot to solve! And possibly a jewel theft or two while he’s at it!

this looks super-cool! I hope they’re able to interest some auto-makers into making an actual product.

oh, hey! neat!
