@abbadon420 @Flatworm7591 but pirates are anti-facist too.

@Jean_le_Flambeur @Flatworm7591 maybe you should have voted for them.

@ArugulaZ oh that was my profile pic until earlier today. Did you mean Mr. Data rather than Mr. Putin?

@FlashMobOfOne I agree with you on a personal level. If others want to volunteer to do such I think they have a right to, even if I would recommend against them personally exercising such a right.

@ArugulaZ excuse me?

@awwwyissss @FlashMobOfOne if a cause is just it should be able to be taken care of voluntarily.

you CTRL+C CTRL+C CTRL+C CTRL+C CTRL+C

I CTRL+X CTRL+V we are not the same.

At this point in history, I don’t see any way that SCOTUS weighing in on this is going to be beneficial.

why not just use am invidious instance like i.devol.it to access such content so as to eliminate the ads, eliminate the tracking, and encourage Free Software peeps to keep up the good work?

@sin_free_for_00_days

really sports in general

that’s interesting, what brings you to the !sports community then?

@sports really? Try the archive archive.ph/nDUUR

@Imprint9816 on my work laptop I do so by just connectint to our German office instead of the U.S. one

@Zeragamba @QuazarOmega just because something is paranoia doesn’t mean it isn’t true. Whenever I turn on the DuckDuckGo “VPN” to stop tracking by third party apps, I’m amazed at how many request are happening from apps I hardly use and many I don’t expect (though I should know that something can still be open source Free Software and that the open code contains surveillance capitalsm tracking in order to fund the project)

@funkyb @Very_Bad_Janet @1337tux those who aren’t willing to do so aren’t likely to be good fedizens willing to practice netiquette.

@JackFromWisconsin @hare_ware yep we had the same after other events like #eternalseptember & #twittermigaration and will be the same with #redditMigration

@dessalines @1337tux but if they’re bots they’d still count as active users assuming they aren’t idle.

In the end, neither really matters, assuming the bots aren’t causing you or your server trouble, like the thousands of posts taghing GNU SOCIAL users repeatedly a couple weeks ago. Could still be happening on instances with absantee admins. (like my original GNU SOCIAL account of @[email protected])

@realcaseyrollins @GizmoLion @1337tux @DerWilliWonka @TheAngryBad if it’s not a PUBLIC conversation of course you won’t be able to see it on their server if you don’t have an account on that server that is included in the private body (like Friendica’s default of “friends only”)

@GizmoLion @realcaseyrollins @1337tux @DerWilliWonka @TheAngryBad its not likely, but with how the Fediverse works its possible, whether slow federation between certain servers (for example I frequently will have posts Friendica tells me have posted to 130/135 servers within a minute but those last few can take days or never post at all) also you guys might not both see the same conversation based on who you’ve blocked, or been blocked by, etc. If you ever want to verify, you should be able to view it on their instance (on Kbin this is what is listed under MORE as LINK TO FEDIVERSE)

@realcaseyrollins @GizmoLion @1337tux @DerWilliWonka @TheAngryBad meaning you want to sell fedi accounts to capitalists?

@DerWilliWonka @1337tux yeah, I’m guessing a lot, I didn’t save the post, but I saw earlier this week some instances that were spun up brand new and in less than an hour had >5,000 users.

One of many reasons to recommend against allowing open sign-up on your instance. A lot htat have been around for longer, like lemmy.ca, require you to request an account, and answer some questions (like why do you want your accoutn on this particularl instance) and a real person clicks the check-mark button.

Some new users will be annoyed by such, but the truth is if they are annoyed by that, they probably aren’t going to be good fedizens open to following good netiquette anyway.
