essentially that is what mythology has been for humanity. Too bad now we just let advertising borrow the techniques without education the population how it works.

It is not even a mistake, it’s some pretty mind-fucked up on part of @bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone to jump to such a conclusion. crap

I think timestamps of files would be one of the easier things, and try to track back to postings and comments that references the upload… ideally the logged-in account (which is the standard install of lemmy, only logged-in users can upload to pictrs)

Yes. odd how people think sharing CSAM is why people would post here, instead of actually tracking down and prosecuting those sharing CSAM. Details about the users who sharedl CSAM content, such as timestamps - would help identify the offenders for prosecution.

It sounds like you’re encouraging people to share CSAM images found, which is obviously not the intent of this tool.

Yes, that is in fact the context.

Context: "which is obviously not the intent of this tool. "

it is not my intent to share the images, nor is it the context of the tool… Sharing details about the users, timestamps - would be the obvious context.

I hope people share the positive hits of CSAM and see how widespread the problem is…

DRAMTIC EDIT: the records lemmy_safety_local_storage.py identifies, not the images! @bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone seems to think it “sounds like” I am ACTIVELY encouraging the spreading of child pornography images… NO! I mean audit files, such as timestamps, the account that uploaded, etc. Once you have the timestamp, the nginx logs from a lemmy server should help identify the IP address.

and avoiding link rot

Lemmy seems built to destroy information, rot links. Unlike Reddit has been for 15 years, when a person deletes their account Lemmy removes all posts and comments, creating a black hole.

Not only are the comments disappeared from the person who deleted their account, all the comments made by other users disappear on those posts and comments.

Right now, a single user just deleting one comment results in the entire branch of comment replies to just disappear.

Installing an instance was done pretty quickly… over 1000 new instances went online in June because of the Reddit API change. But once that instance goes offline, all the communities hosted there are orphaned and no cleanup code really exists to salvage any of it - because the whole system was built around deleting comments and posts - and deleting an instance is pretty much a purging of everything they ever created in the minds of the designers.

But lemmy.world should primarily communicate via lemmy imo…

I find the same attitude holds for developers who like to hang out in real-time Matrix chat and don’t seem to use Lemmy itself very much and things like code blocks ruining greater-than and less-than slip right into release without much concern.

I’ve found there is a culture within Lemmy developers and long-time operators to discuss in Discord or Matrix chat instead of “eating their own dogfood” and using Lemmy itself to openly discuss Lemmy technical and project issues. These chat services are legendary for keeping things away from search engines and newcomers getting up to speed. Lemmy itself isn’t nearly as search-engine friendly as Reddit was traditionally, it seems like feedback needs to be given as to how important it is to keep things about Lemmy in the eyes of those who actually use Lemmy…

Thoughts?

I haven’t tested with 0.18.3 to see if new features were added to front-end lemmy-ui, but based on my experience with earlier 0.18 releases… the “Sign Up” page of Lemmy needs to have a custom message added for each instance basically introducing the instance from the admins. The experience is pretty bad… on my instance I have registration closed and lemmy-ui still just presents “Sign Up” links and even the form. I think it’s pretty important to get this in the back-end now so that the evolving independent front-ends all support the custom message shown above/below the Sign Up form…

Seems like something that shouldn’t take a lot of coding to get added (admin screen has place to create custom messages like “Legal”) that would be a good lemmy network-wide focus on the newcomer experience.

Fox allowing him hours a day of direct speech…

Once Elon Musk returns him to Twitter, we will have the “bar and grill of all the world’s journalist” for the past 15 years become a black hole of old news story history. The symbolic tactics that are under play are massive. Reality has been rejected on a massive scale via electric media… Dans un sens, c’est le système entier qui, par sa fragilité interne, prête main-forte à l’action initiale. Plus le système se concentre mondialement, ne constituant à la limite qu’un seul réseau

Trump followers can’t even see how the former mayor of NYC has lost his mind. They meet at 4 seasons gardening.

July 30 comments when from 7.1 million to 9.9 million. In a single day?

they are called communities here

lemmy.ml is now getting some lemmy.world content

yha, it said “effectively defedarated” - anyway, I edited out the words entirely so there isn’t any more confusion.

example?

EDIT: Ok, I see a lemmy.ml created a post: https://lemmy.world/post/2463337
So far, I can’t find any new content on lemmy.ml from .world

You can use markdown codes in titles. Bold, italic, and in my case strikethrough. Two tildes before and after the text.

It is back up
