At least you have them. We don’t :'(

It’s a conspiracy, bud. Trying to keep the truth down!

OR…there’s like 300 duplicates of the exact same thing because everyone thinks they’re CNN and the first to break the story and the mods are cleaning up.

Take your pick.

Oh, I was just lamenting that such a garbage post is contributing to the backlog because of the activities it generates (which LW has to federate out since its “owns” the community this was posted in). Basically a potshot at a low-effort, shit take of a post.

It’s a Lemmy thing. Basically latency limits the maximum number of activities that can be sent per second (they’re sent like TCP: serially, and each must be acknowledged). When LW has a LOT of activities to send out, they can get backlogged if there’s significant latency between LW and other federated servers.

That’s the gist of it, anyway.

Good lord, I can’t believe Lemmy World’s federation queue is backed up for so many other instances because of stupid shit like this.

I’ve seen this site get spammed in the past, but it’s been a few months. Guess they’re at it again.

That whole site is an unholy mixture of religion, conspiracy, and Elon Musk. It’s bonkers.

Basically if you see tiblur [dot] com, you can pretty much just report it as spam.

Rule 3 seems to be very unenforced lately 😠
