On several occasions I have held conversations with third instance users on .ml threads while I was site banned from .ml. I am trying to drill down into the technical changes whereby bans now actually "reject" comments and votes, seemingly from the home instance, compared to the previous behavior
Ah ok I appreciate the information. Seems like kind of a shit way to handle federating bans.
Just out of curiosity, does that mean your instance could choose to not enforce bans from other instances or am I misunderstanding how ban federation works? Before it seemed like the home instance would accept votes and comments and they would be rejected by the remote instance, but had a chance to successfully federate with third instances. Now it seems as if the home instance is doing that enforcement directly. Is that correct?
He's not from Haiti. Dessalines was a Haitian revolutionary who killed all the plantation owners on the island (and their families) and then was killed by the slaves he freed because they all ran out of food because nobody would trade with them anymore. I just think it's incredibly cringe that he would appropriate the moniker of an actual freedom fighter who faced an actual struggle, but who was also complete shit being a leader. It kind of sums up the edgy ignorance perfectly.
Interesting. Is .ml the only one running 19.5? Because I don't really see that pattern from any other instance in the mod logs, though I'm not really watching that closely.
It's separate. If you just get banned from the instance you can still comment and vote on the instance and other instances can potentially still see it depending on the exact federation graph. But for whatever reason community bans federate differently and participation gets blocked at the home instance. Because of this, .ml runs a special tool to do these "super bans." I have gotten just the instance ban a few times but I think this is my first super ban.
I was a bit euphoric here because I mistakenly thought it was a .world thread and I was hoping to get some data on downvote bots and or database manipulation coming from Dessalines. Oh well. The impotent rage is still worth it.
You are probably correct, Dessalines himself forgot to switch to one of his alts and is literally posting the "1 Harris = 1 genocide" meme on a .world thread as we speak. Absolutely glorious.
Edit - actually it was a .ml thread my mistake.
She's right though, the Palestinian people deserve better than Hamas. Ironically, in the exact same way the Haitian people deserved better than Dessalines, and the exact same way Lemmy deserves better than someone who would larp as either from the comfort of his computer chair, lmao.
Phew, good thing I only drive excessively.
The .ml admins probably just adding more malicious tracking tools to the communities they don't like so they can more easily dox Lemmy users for their state espionage sponsors. Probably just broke something by accident this time
Or more pertinently, feeling like you have to issue a warning to your peers to not be racist and sexist, and then still choosing to associate with them?
Hey, so you know how when you hire a new female employee and the boss has to send out an email reminding everyone to resist being racist and sexist?
Yeah, neither do I. Probably because we don't hire Republicans.
That's probably overshooting a bit. Mr. Beast viewers likely don't have nearly the aggregate spending power of the average Superbowl viewer. Dude is absolutely making bank but there's no way he's clearing $100M/yr.
Nah, this one is a troll. You can tell because the account is pretty much 100% political agitation. Even passionate activists occasionally post about other stuff.
I would, except I am not a degenerate gambler
Yeah this is always the dumbest argument in a thread filled with dumb arguments. As if a bunch of degenerate gamblers have some mystical vision on the issue.
Clinton's polls looked fine until Comrade Comey gave us all his buttery November surprise, and then the polls tightened significantly over the span of a week.
Please, continue pretending like not voting isn't violence against the LGBT community
The voters are literally the ones who picked Biden though.
