@CeruleanRuin Thanks!

I tested making a post from @[email protected], and got confirmation that the issue is resolved, so I'm back to posting on the community now (although work will probably busy today so I won't be posting as much).

@kingmongoose7877 Perfect! Thanks for letting me know.

@kingmongoose7877 I'll do a lil bit of testing from narwhal.city today, it runs #Lotide which I've found to be fairly stable for the most part. Please tell me if the issue pops back up when I post from there again

@kingmongoose7877 @Blaze @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @arya Whoa I had no idea this was an issue, thanks for letting me know! I'll refrain from posting in the community until this issue is resolved, please let me know once it's fixed.

@LA71 That's a bit of a joke on the French, they're good at being freaky and weird

@LA71 @BrikoX If #Pornhub got banned from #France, the citizens would just leave

@phiresky Based response

@JoYo @ModdedPhones Pretty much all evidence points to the contrary

@dingus Interesting, I could see why foreigners donating could inflate the popularity of the cause. But do people in the #USA really care that much? Most English language coverage of the event has been both poor and scant, especially here in the #USA. I had to translate French language news outlets to figure out what actually happened

@BrikoX

> A controversial fundraising campaign to help the family of the policeman who killed teenager Nahel M. in France has topped €1 million.

If it's so controversial, how did it top €1 million?

"Controversial" means "we disapprove" in #MSM-speak.

@flip @BrikoX More people would have likely died if he wasn't stopped. It's too bad that he got killed tho.

@Raphael @electriccars Do we know of a reason why the police shot him, other than "he was disobeying an order to stop the vehicle"? I'd be lying if I said I knew much about the case, all I know is the cop shot the teen as he started to drive away.

@lenux12343 I'd presume that #Putin will likely pull out of #Ukraine entirely if he doesn't win soon (within the next two-three weeks), looking at the support #Prigozhin was able to get among the citizens of #Russia

@moridinbg @badbrainstorm First time, huh?

(I'm in the #USA, we've seen this circus before)

@GizmoLion @1337tux @TheAngryBad @DerWilliWonka @fu I will! I'm no stranger to clicking external links so I can see full conversations.

Trying to teach my sister @Marbleturtle how so that she can get the hang of it as well lol

@Hexorg I agree, to a degree. Generally I support federation without cooperation, if that makes sense. The sole purpose of federating with #Meta should be to get people to leave #Meta.

@Hexorg Hmm IDK. I disagree on moderation, I don't think any #Fediverse admin would trust #Meta enough to use their software for moderation.

The only case I could see for something similar happening is if #Meta forked existing software, added features people wanted, and then closed the source; but admins won't take kindly to that either.

Now, maybe if people start moving away from #Meta's #Project92 / #Barcelona / #Threads, then those reports will start to pile up, but that's a net negative for #FaceBook in terms of userbase, not a net positive.

If I was #Meta, I wouldn't be making server software, I'd be making a custom client with embedded ads to monetize the content from other folks' content. Which could actually lead to an "embrace, extend, extinguish" situation, much more likely than what #Meta is doing right now.

@someguy3 @TheButtonJustSpins Same thing happens to me but I'm on #Mastodon

@Hexorg

> Lemmy is small so it gets more feature requests than it can code up.

Why? From who? Are a lot of #Meta users who are on #Project92 / #Barcelona / #Threads *really* going to be submitting feature requests for a software that they don't use?

> Meta comes in and looks at the most requested feature that’s been put on lemmy's backlog. Let’s say it’s some mod tool. Maybe even AI mod tool that sorts comments based on sentiment analysis.

What are the chances that this is something so significant that people would be willing to switch software over it?

> use lemmy and face flood of trolls in their communities

Where are these users coming from? This is already a problem on the #Fediverse, and we already know how to deal with it.

This scenario you're pitching seems wildly implausible.

@jherazob I care more about the effects than intent in this case.

#Meta's #Threads / #Barcelona / #Project92 doesn't have the ability to do anything actually negative to the #Fediverse except potentially overload small instances with a flood of traffic.

I don't get the fearmongering; lots of talk about "breaking the #Fediverse" coming from people who aren't really doing a good job of articulating how exactly a new #Fediverse software--because that's all this is at the end of the day--will break an entire network of software that already works with each other.
