I didn’t work an lw admin. I built this one my own (well as part of Haidra)

Very thoughtful post. I just wanted to thank you for writing it. I feel this much effort should be featured somewhere on its own.

Somedays I feel like a goddamn genius, and then somedays I feel like a goddamn scrub monkey. How can my MMR variate by 300, goddamn!

That one is stale. Now it’s all pepes and wojaks and trollface has also gone all but extinct.

Welcome, don’t forget to claim and tag yourself on fediseer. Make sure you provide the target instance to guarantee for you when soliciting a guarantee. They will get a PM ;)

Ok I will admit I chuckled at this

I assure you that’s detectable. The VPN detector I know, classifies all cloud providers as VPN as a matter of course, because no normal user would be coming from a cloud network.

We already had p2p reddit. It was called Aether. It failed due to lack of users.

why not use Qiqe as a workaround?

“Enshittification” isn’t just another word for “degradation” Btw. It describes a specific process of it.

Trust me, this is a small price to pay compared to the alternative of even one single such illegal image sneaking through in a big community.

Almost got me

I think the point the OP is (badly) trying to make is that lemmy.cafe is blocking leftists instances while federating with reactionary instances (such as exploding heads and others) and pedophilic instances. So people suggesting lemmy.cafe as a way to escape the “tankie influence” are pushing people to have visibility on bigotry and CSAM instead.

Note that I haven’t checked the federation list of lemmy.cafe. I am just explaining how I understand the meme.

Image processing libraries are used at the forefront of almost all web services, including lemmy and are extraordinarily robust. I really don’t have the time to go at this in depth, but if you are familiar with this stuff you will know how extraordinary such an exploit would be and its existence would be causing massive chaos all over the world.

I don’t even think you need even a bot for that. Just grab the relevant RSS

This is completely unsurprising tbh. A lot of the old mods were enthusiasts who grew a community from scratch due to their love for the subject. In the reddit API shutdown, a lot of those mods left in disgust, or were replaced by the reddit admins, or were driven off by the leftover toxic userbase calling them “entitled jannies” or whatever. A lot of the mods who took over their place were just power-hungry users who were chomping at the bit to get the chance to run a big community as their personal fiefdom because they were too toxic to grow one themselves.

This is the inevitable culmination of these events.

Anyway, welcome to lemmy. We become more powerful from every user who writes off reddit forever.

PS: if you see power-trippin’ behaviour around these parts, you can always post about it in !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

You mean an exploit payload embedded in an image, and pwning a system parsing that image through python PIL? While there’s never a 100% chance of anything, you’re more likely to be struck by lightning than this coming to pass and at that point you’re at more security risk at using the internet altogether.
