For anything important, use matrix instead of lemmy DMs.
The only way to protect yourself from something like this is to own your own domain name.
You can still use something like Google as a provider but you can switch providers and recreate the same email addresses.
Exit polls are flawed in the sense that the people who don't vote aren't there to begin with.

Hey, I've seen your deleted post about trying to seed your instance.
You seem to be the admin of a new instance.
By default, your instance won't see any remote communities content until someone subscribes.
Which is kind of a catch 22, because you kinda have to know about it to subscribe.
To browse for communities:
https://lemmyverse.net/communities
You can then use your instance's search bar to fetch it initially in order to subscribe to it yourself.
Which you've likely already done for this one.
There's also a tool that can do this for you:
https://lemmy-federate.com/ (which was formerly known as communityboost)
Then again it may subscribe to things you aren't interested in, so that may or may not be for you.
Cheers, welcome and good luck.
Removing this one as a duplicate. Keeping the other one, which has comments.
Aye.
People are upset, I get that, that's perfectly fine to acknowledge one's emotions.
Now what?
The next step is reflecting on the failure.
That's how you learn from errors, not just in elections, but literally anything. It's certainly more useful than pretending everything was perfect and there's nothing that could've went differently, that's just defeatism.
Criticizing and reflecting to be more self-aware of flaws and strengths, to grow.
Then you can make new goals and strategies for the future and kick future's butt.
It's as if... the time to get this done was a long time ago.

alien.top bots
English message:
As some of you may have noticed, there's an instance with 1.1M bots reposting reddit posts and comments accross communities in several other instances.
I expect there are multiple valid opinions on the subject and this thread is meant to get a feeling of everyone's opinion on the situation.
You might also want to read lemmy.ca's discussion on that here which is a pretty decent thread about the subject.
Things that I think need to be pointed out:
- alien.top currently has 1.1M bots, only 6 of those are weekly users logging in.
- together they've made 1.59M comments accross a multitude of communities in other instances.
- That project claims to be trying to get reddit users to switch to lemmy.
- They have a portal to allow reddit users to claim and take over their bot persona.
- alien.top has a single local community, the bots all post on different instances with copies of different subreddits.
I don't have an exhaustive list of such communities, I haven't found an official one. I'll post a fewfrom my personal blocklist in a comment below.
And a note on the upcoming 0.19 release:
- the new user-level instance block feature will block all the communities of the blocked instances, but will not block these users' posts or comments if they are done on another instance's community.
My opinion isn't any more valid then anyone else's so I'll put it in a comment below.
Our users' input is welcomed.
What do you, dear users of sh.itjust.works, think about federation with them?
Thanks

Message français:
Comme certains d'entre vous l'ont peut-être remarqué, il y a une instance peuplée de 1,1M de bots qui copient ees posts et commentaires Reddit dans plein de communautés sur plusieurs autres instances.
Il y a plusieurs opinions sur le sujet et ce fil de discussion vise à prendre le pouls de l'opinion générale sur la situation.
Je vous suggères de lire la discussion chez lemmy.ca à ce sujet ici, discussion intéressante.
Quelques points qui, selon moi, doivent être soulignés :
- alien.top compte actuellement 1,1 million de robots, dont seulement 6 sont des utilisateurs hebdomadaires qui se login.
- collectivement, ils ont déjà fait 1,59 million de commentaires dans une multitude de communautés dans différentes instances.
- Ce projet proclame essayer de convertir des utilisateurs de Reddit à passer à Lemmy.
- Il existe un portail pour permettre aux utilisateurs de Reddit de prendre contrôle de leur version bot.
- alien.top a une seule communauté locale, les bots publient tous sur différentes instances, des copies de différents subreddits.
Je n'ai pas de liste exhaustive de ces communautés, à première vue, je n'en trouve pas une liste officielle. Je mettrai dans un commentaire ci-dessous quelques communautés que j'ai bloqué au niveau personnel.
Pour finir, une note sur la version 0.19 de lemmy qui s'en vient :
- La nouvelle fonctionnalité pour bloquer une instance au niveau d'un uutilisateur bloquera toutes les communautés d'une instance bloquée, mais ne bloquera pas les publications ou les commentaires de ces utilisateurs s'ils sont publiés dans une communauté d'une autre instance.
Mon opinion n'est pas meilleur qu'une autre et je mettrai plutôt dans un commentaire ci-bas.
Les commentaires de nos utilisateurs sont les bienvenus.
Que pensez-vous, cher utilisateurs de sh.itjust.works de la fédération avec eux?
Merci

Defederating illegal instances illégales defédérées
Annonce en français:
Des ajouts ont récemment été faits à la liste d'instances bloquées.
Comme celles-ci étaient des instances connues pour héberger du contenu illégal, incluant des communautés pedo, loli, etc. elles ont été bloquées sans discussion préalable dans l'[email protected].
Vous pouvez consulter à tout moment la liste d'instances bloquées au bas de cette [page]

Merci !

We've recently added a few instances to the block list.
We usually made a discussion and vote in [email protected], but this latest batch was a bunch of instances confirmed to be hosting CSAM, CP, pedo and/or loli content. Since these are illegal, they've been removed without Agora threads.
At any time, you can see the current list of blocked instances here, all the way down in the Blocked Instances
section.
Thanks

Lemmy-wide gore spam this morning / spam de ce matin
Message en Français:
Comme certains ont pu constaté, il y a eu beaucoup de spam de contenu gore ce matin a travers une panoplie de communautés.
L'utilisateur en question a été banni localement et leur contenu effacé. Ils ne sont pas encore bannis sur leur instance mère, mais vous ne devriez plus tomber dessus tant que vous naviguez avec votre compte sh.itjust.works.
Désolé pour ceux qui ont eu à subir cette merde et merci à tous ceux qui l'ont signalé. N'hésitez pas à signaler ce genre de chose quand ça arrive, soit via le petit drapeau (report), ou sur le chat matrix.
Pour balancer le gore, voici un chat qui dort:

English message:
As some of you may have had the displeasure to see, there was a user spamming links to gore content earlier today accross several unrelated communities.
They've since been banned locally and their content removed. While they have yet to be banned on their home instance, you shouldn't be exposed to their content as long as you browse from here your sh.itjust.works account.
Thanks to everyone for reporting it, feel free to reach out either through the flag report icon or the matrix chat whenever something like that happens again.
Here's a cat to balance out the gore:
