Funny the kind of folks that get suspended on Elon’s twitter.

If you’re not doing anything illegal then I highly recommend keeping your hands out in the open where they can see both of them, and politely answering their questions.

They have a gun, so its not about right/wrong, it’s about your own safety. You don’t know if that’s a decent one or a shitty one.

Any evidence for any of this?

Somebody has to fill this place with content…

Now that is an Israel I can stand with.

Every time we get a wave of fresh influx, it seems to bring a fair number of upset people here. I’m not particularly surprised, they’re coming from a less-pleasant environment just in general.

People do seem to settle down a little bit after they get some time to unwind from that all, though.

JK Rowling also writes as Robert Galbraith.

But … now, just hear me out … what if we just bulldozed everything and built big walls?

I’ll take my Nobel now pls.

Yeah, if I’m really genuinely even on a choice and none of my standard tie-breakers apply. Following through is no issue, as I am legit torn, so have no strong preference.

This is why the weekend DDoS attacks and frontpage vandalism don’t really concern me. With spez and Musk burning their services to the ground, we’re (along with other competitors, we’re not the only one) going to get a steady influx pressure for the coming months or even years. Shutting us partly down for a few hours every weekend does nothing in the face of this much stronger phenomenon. Whoever is doing it is basically pissing into the wind.

lol Love how it’s kinda looking like it might stop, maybe soonish, close enough you could crawl down there. But then it straightens out and fucks off.

Video hosting is very resource-intensive, and likely still beyond the capabilities of most Instance owners. While this feature will likely appear eventually for larger Instances, we have a natural disadvantage that will slow our adoption somewhat.

We aren’t a single, centralized company that can throw a huge wad of cash at the problem.

Yeah, but I’m still doing it on purpose to help the community grow. Somebody’s gotta fill this place with content, and at the end of the day that’s our job.

Normally I’m more of a commenter exclusively unless I need the services of a specific community. (video game question usually) But the Lemmy project has sent me digging for all the best youtube stuff I’ve seen in basically the past decade and then finding the community to shove it in.
