This is probably more of a symptom than a cause, but social media platforms pushing manosphere content isn't helping.

That rabbit hole goes very deep, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to speak on it. It could very well be a crypto AG style honey-pot, or already cracked tech, that we might not know about for years to come.

Use the report button also to report transphobia, so we can get to it asap.

Cool, I originally thought about doing it that way, but maintaining allowlists and blocklists for all the different types of activities could get cumbersome (especially if we add things like blocking posts, comments, communities, messages, etc). But ya that's a good issue to have.

It's just some zionist's blog site. You or I could make a site called official world bias meter and it'd be no more credible.

Even playing that way, monopoly is still a single-winner game of course, which is what elizabeth magie wanted to demonstrate.

Another other unintended lesson is that ruthless profit-seeking hacks will enclose / steal any idea or invention, reinvent it, and claim it as their own. It was and remains a model for silicon valley.

Spoilers should be working fine on most clients, but it's a front end thing.

Yep this has been a growing problem, with ppl using various alt accounts on different servers to downvote things. Usually it's pretty obvious because these accounts are all from the same servers, and have little or no comments or posts.

With that setting you can be sure that all the votes at least are coming from your local users, keeping vote anonymity, and without disconnecting from the bigger servers.

A million Iraqi civilians died in the US wars on Iraq. They carpet bombed and let so many cities just burn.

I think they even have pen (like, writing pen) cameras that can fit inside a front pocket for pretty cheap.

The US-state-department funding is important sure, but you also ignored every other point in that article.

 

Sry about the misfire on the last release.

 

What is Lemmy?

Lemmy is a self-hosted social link aggregation and discussion platform. It is completely free and open, and not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. Content is organized into communities, so it is easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top.

Major Changes

This version fixes the problem of comment context not loading properly. It also fixes a couple other bugs.

Support development

@dessalines and @nutomic are working full-time on Lemmy to integrate community contributions, fix bugs, optimize performance and much more. This work is funded exclusively through donations.

If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider donating to support its development. No one likes recurring donations, but they’ve proven to be the only way that open-source software like Lemmy can stay independent and alive.

Upgrade instructions

Follow the upgrade instructions for ansible or docker. There are no config or API changes with this release.

If you need help with the upgrade, you can ask in our support forum or on the Matrix Chat.

 

This is an opportunity for any users, server admins, or interested third parties to ask anything they'd like to @nutomic@lemmy.ml and I about Lemmy. This includes its development and future, as well as wider issues relevant to the social media landscape today.

Note: This will be the thread tmrw, so you can use this thread to ask and vote on questions beforehand.
