Yeah, it felt a lot like "you need to prove you're worthy" more than just proving you're not a bot.
Adding to what others have said, opposing viewpoints are GOOD. Well reasoned opinions should be encouraged. I don't want to end up in another curated echo chamber built by someone else. Add the tools for users to block an instance and for blocks to work better in general. Give us the tools to decide our content. Leave the curation up to the users.
Otherwise you'll just end up with everyone spinning up their own instance and building a million individual echo chambers(tho it wouldn't be bad if there were more instances lol)
Add the fact that lemmy.ml and others were/still are doing applications for sign up instead of an automated system. I applied twice for a .ml account and never got a single response, not even a denial or "your application is being processed". I have no idea if my application was ever even seen.
On the other hand, I signed up to lemmy.world and kbin.social in minutes and have been using them ever since.
No problem. I walk ~14 miles a day at work and they hold up nicely. I put some Superfeet insoles in them when I buy them. Here's a pic of the old ones with ~18 months/4000 miles on them next to the same pair brand new. The old ones are still in working condition and have no real issues other than the cosmetic wear. Just wanted to get a new pair lol
Bought mine around 2020 and they lasted maybe 9 months before holes were forming in the toe area.
Bought Keens next and haven't had any issues. Last pair I put 4000 miles on them and the rubber covering the steel toe had worn a nickel sized hole, but otherwise they were still in great shape and fully functional.
I feel like edits within a short window should be allowed for error correction. After that it should probably be locked.
If it's left unlocked, either temporarily or permanently, there should be an edit history akin to Wikipedia to track the changes.
QR codes are WAY too easy to break with a few wrong pixels tho. Would be almost impossible to keep it intact. Text is a better alternative. Or logos because people might leave it alone as you draw it waiting to see what it becomes.
Lmao that IS NOT how "scale" works. Proportions stay the same.
You can't make a 3 sided object with 4 sides. It's no longer a triangle and is a square. It's the definitions themselves. Non-euclidian geometry would allow the angles to equal more than 180°, but not to "add a side".
A triangle with 90° angles, yes.
But not a four sided TRIANGLE. That itself is a contradiction.
Yeah, that probably is gonna delay things a bit... Hopefully you get to continue(with fair pay of course :) )
I felt like that expectation was there for me for the first episode or two, but then you could see how it was doing its own thing and building its own world. It felt familiar to step into and then was a comfortable transition to the rest of the world you all created.
Thank you for your work; it's cool to talk to someone who worked on it. Can you say if you know how likely the show is to continue on? I haven't heard anything about a season 2, but I'm hoping.
It's on Lemmy, but you might want to consider partnering with @newcommunities They do something very similar.
If it's any consolation, I've been raving about the show since it came out. Been calling it a "realistic fallout prequel that does its own thing".
Which denies food for the things that eat the ticks, leaving no predators for the ticks, making the ticks worse since they're not having their population controlled. And then those predators of the ticks, that were food for OTHER animals, have less food themselves and slowly the whole ecosystem collapses.
There's a reason that once you start heavy pesticides, you basically always have to do them from then on in that area. In a few years you've removed all the natural checks and balances
Remember how everyone was talking about bug populations dropping? Guess what's dropping now? Their predator, birds. The cycle is already here

And I walk 12-14 miles a day in Keens. My last assistant refused to wear anything but Crocs. Guess who was out every other week with foot problems? Not me.
There's a reason hiking and activity shoes have ankle support. Ankles aren't glass, but you don't want to roll them in uneven surfaces
People who work on their feet all day don't use crocs. You'd use TreadSafes that have actual support and fit, or you'd use an actual work shoe like Keen. Crocs absolutely will not hold up in a warehouse and will provide zero support or protection for your feet.
The offer ZERO ankle support and often don't fit snuggly enough to support anything really. Unless you wear flip flops, don't wear these. Easy way to end up with constant foot, ankle, and knee problems.
Better :) Use "copy URL" not "copy fediverse URL" next time though and it will keep the person in their same instance and they won't have to login.
@CMahaff made a little tool for migrating Lemmy settings / subscriptions / blocks between accounts
See the linked page for information about how it works, limitations, etc. and I’ll of course answer any questions below!...
[email protected] makes a compelling argument for why mods might not want pay, but rather respect, in [email protected]
That’s a recent quote from Reddit’s VP of community, Laura Nestler. Here’s more of it: This week, Reddit has been telling protesting moderators that if they keep their communities private, the company will take action against them. Any actions could happen as soon as this afternoon.
Users have a serious discussion about NSFW content on the fediverse in [email protected]
**Historically, porn has organically decided which platform or formats become dominant.** It's incredibly anti-censorship, but walks many fine lines....
@[email protected] helpfully explains how instances and defederation works in the comments of [email protected]
For example, you can see this breakdown for Lemmy.world by going to https://lemmy.world/instances [https://lemmy.world/instances]
@bdonvr of [email protected] shares their janky guide for Lemmy administrators to purge spam signups, hourly.
Well I never had spam issues, until 0.18 forced captchas to be disabled. Thankfully the bots just seem to be signing up, not doing much yet. Using fake emails that never get verified. So I threw together a little script. Just put this in a sh file, and create a cron job or systemd service to run it ...
An admin posted a quick guide for removing bot sign ups that use fake email addresses and don't verify them.
