While I understand your concerns, this instance has gotten a fair bit larger and will start to suffer the same issues that lemmy.world does if registrations aren’t curbed. It can’t grow infinitely. That just isn’t feasible for one server. Having closed registrations on lemm.ee doesn’t stop anyone from signing up on different instances. A solution might be to temporarily limit registration here in some way, and for the devs and instance admins to find a better way of helping new users choose an instance. The initial sign up process was confusing, and could be streamlined to make it easier for people to choose an instance. In the long term, enhancing the way federation works so users who do sign up on smaller/newer instances don’t need to be lemmy savvy to find content would also help alleviate that type of issue.

Nor sure about links but avatars and banners were intentional because those would be images, and all image uploads are suspended for now.

Other platforms also use armies of unpaid volunteers to do it. There are various methods, and with this being an entirely volunteer run an financed platform I really doubt if they is feasible. In the long term I like the idea of using technology to improve detection and moderation even if that requires some development commitment.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say they and all the other instances that were hit with this attack probably did. Which authorities, I don’t know. If this instance is hosted in Estonia then probably Estonian authorities, but it’s probably being hosted on the cloud so is it REALLY hosted in Estonia? There are a ton of American and EU users so hopefully the FBI and whatever the EU equivalent is. But honestly cybercrimes can get confusing because of the nature of people and hosting being spread out all over the world and it can be hard to even figure out who to report to.

Dude the only time my cat gets anxious is when I leave the house for more than 13 seconds. I’m not saying there aren’t cats who are miserable indoors but are you gonna seriously act like all cats want exactly the same thing? They have distinct personalities and some are quite content to be in a quiet, safe space with toys and food and loves and a view of all the pretty birds they they can pretend to kill with their toy. Some cats barely even care about killing or exploring. It’s almost like they’re individuals.

Haha that’s how my sister got one of her cats. She lived next door then kind of decided she lived with my sister instead. So my sister went over and told the people their cat kept coming in her house and they were like “whatever keep her we were going to get rid of her anyways.” And now my sister has had her for like 10 years.

A crowd full of Republicans started to boo.

Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley went so far as to venture, “Climate change is real.”

Is this article from The Onion? Or am I like on candid camera or something? They believe in climate change now and are against it?

So let me get this straight, the lawyer Trump gave him turned out to only be looking out for Trump? And he turned state’s witness when he got a real lawyer and figured out how effed he was? Wow, what a crazy world.

The reason I’m still here instead of there is that I absolutely can’t use their official app. I just can’t. It’s so awful. Lemmy isn’t perfect but at least it isn’t that. So I do spend less time doom scrolling and that’s probably good for me.
