meh. its just another layer that adds to the replication signal. where would meaning come into play?

well, put up or shut up? we are all doin our best for freakin free

i picked mbin because it was the most broadly connecting platform, but it has its limitations… especially in the micro blogging arena.

youre welcome to contribute https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin

you could slap some kind of vnc solution in there… maybe hafta open a port on her router

maybe https://www.phpbb.com/downloads/ is more you style… it has federation disabled by default!

having used windows long enough to know what the .11 brought you and having gone windows-free for well over a decade i can say i have never, ever thought “i wish i was on windows cuz this would be better/easier/faster/possible”

its hard to read the response… you can almost feel them say “prove it you lying motherfuckers or stfu”

i duct-tape a 22 to the side of the server with the trigger trip-wired to the wan port.

your move, iptables

Of course, no one should mistake Hannah Montana Linux v26.0 for a mainstream Linux distro meant for production use

i find this a little insulting

my dog wants to know why youre gatekeeping one of his favorite events

we know is a sure bet on where we can prosper if we keep it healthy,

haha dude, error #1. we can do everything right and still be toast if all our eggs are in this one fucking basket. the universe is a big place and the earth is a very small, vulnerable one.

bots not performing correctly is a different conversation than ‘no reposting bots at all’.

i agree that all bots should be publicly identified and held (moderated) to their purpose and contextual content.

this is a regular occurrence.

theres this idea among some that they absolutely must not be exposed to things they dont like, and this is how they show it… .they have block lists that are freakin huge with accounts/instances and they whine incessantly about what amounts to absolutely nothing.

and youre spot on… this is content being added to a sparse area… content that can be discovered later on by people who join eventually. it hurts no one by existing.

i have like 7 accounts blocked in 3 years on the 'verse, and they are mostly shitty remote mods

wwhaaaat your instance doesnt do that automatically?

that must suck as you yell at the cloud of multi-platform users

you do know that lurkers are some crazy number like 95% of traffic, right?

im not a fan of equating comment numbers with user views.

i personally love to see that shit in my new queue… i dont even have to suffer the subscription in my curated list when i want it excluded.

honestly, i fail to see whatever detriment you think is happening. worst case, ignore/block/mute what you dont like?

the reddit reposting bots are not entirely without merit.

its hard to get communities of reddit users to move to the fediverse, but a bridge in the form of a bot can make the transition more appealing.

e. theres also the data exfiltration aspect. as reddit becomes a walled garden, reposting bots effectively free that reddit content into the ether of the fediverse.

somebody? thats trevor noah… hes hilarious

my kids went their entire childhoods without suffering commercial-filled television (still dont)… its extends well past the pre-k stages.
