Was this some glitch in the matrix, then? (For reference: attack happened on 2024-04-14)

Do you, by some chance, mean c/ukraine on sopuli and people cheering to the real-life gore that keeps being posted there, and users getting banned for their ethical concerns about it?

e: It can be pointed out that it’s even worse here than on platforms run by single companies. With those, the admins themselves will mostly not have a stake in the company but they themselves will be employees, which in theory would enable the company to hire ehtically vetted/trained personnel. Whereas here, the admins are likely be tech people who know how to run a server but might otherwise be overwhelmed with ethical conducting, or put their own political teint onto their platform, respectively. Lemmy has been deliberately set up in such a way.

Add to that the lack of good moderation tools. Many of the issues people are complaining about are prely technical, though; what is displayed in UI and database functionality. Such things could be solved though, by actually hiring some capable software developers (takes substantial funding), or by having it done bit by bit. Would there be enough people with enough faith in Lemmy to substantially contribute

In a nutshell, many people are bringing in more or less useful comments although it has already been suggested how this could work; the changes required would touch some core functionality in the way federation is done/ links are handled, thus none of the new devs take the initiative; the two main devs are occupied with other serious stuff.

I’m somewhat reluctant to post this wisdom here, though …
edit: deleted this comment, as this actually deserves a more in-depth and dedicated post in a more suitable place.

Had a look in the modlog… the mod deleted all comments and locked the thread. Looks really a bit strange. I could understand it as not wanting to attract discussions that could get dirty, at all. Critique ageinst the state of israel is often misinterpreted as antisemitism, and discussions around these topics tend to attract antisemites.
Did you ask why a ban was seen necessary?

Can anyone give an actual reason for downvoting this?

There is an open issue for this: Implement in-app searching of all content, not just communities https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/27

Took me to this one. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Kal1yAZExwQ

!lemmy@lemmy.ml has a lot of discussion about it.

So sad, so soulless.

Ahahahaa! Pick your sides, friends. For reference: The infamous “three days no poop” thread
Going to be legendary. (May be they are gaming us all.)

Dynadot – relatively cheap (.net domain) and has a good interface. I can give you a referral code that’s worth €4.50 if you choose to sign up with them. :-)

Aha that’s a postgres default? I was looking into the code to see some of the DB structure. And i thought, well i made over 100 comments in 2 weeks so it wouldn’t take too long until that 32-bit space is used up (in normal operation with some more users).

The infamous “Three days no shit, man!” thread. :D

I did various things already. Upgraded to 35 yesterday, which made it crash. Today i uninstalled and re-installed older versions and the latest several times, tried different combinations of cache wiping and offline startup. As i see it seems to work for other people, i’m a bit worried. Wanted to wait for the next update.

Edit: It works! It had to do with that old issue with Orbot in VPN mode. Android 11 … some applications seem to expect VPN to be active and won’t work until i turn TOR on and off. – Written from Jerboa 0.0.35. :-)

Force stop – clear cache – clear storage – airplane mode – No luck.

… How many comments would each of 5M bot accounts need to make to overflow an i32 db key … I also think it looks as if someone is testing disruptive stuff. It may be kids playing, or it may be the chatbot army in preparation.

Error bubble: “sopuli.xyz is not a Lemmy instance.” (they are now on 0.18)
For me, Jerboa just stopped working alltogether. 0.0.35 seems to crash no matter what i do. Even in airplane mode.

Perhaps cool down a bit. You can always block a community that you don’t want to see. Taking the nuke out on a whole instance (which is btw. about to install full democracy), just because you dont like a fringe group on there? That’s just not the purpose of the defed tool. – And TD is definitely fringe there and constantly mocked. Sh.itjust.works buddies are making a sport of it, just going there and trying to get thrown out as quickly as possible. They did not break the rules yet so there was no reason to kick them off.
