I hold this opinion with sewing machines as well. After working a Janome Mod-30 to death, I found a Singer 403A and I’m pretty sure this thing will out survive me (while meeting all of my needs). Removing the entire motor involved unscrewing 2 screws. Cleaning the commutator and checking the motor brushes involved unscrewing another 2 screws. I can’t go back.
Those hicks are the ones that won’t pay attention to if there’s a crosswalk.
They are the problem.
Fuck catering to them
It’s only cannibalism if you believe you are the same as God.
Arise, God-drinkers.
Alternatively, we will go extinct having never left this solar body because of the long standing history of scummy people that would rather make profit now than address climate change
It’s a start, but 2fa can’t stop spam.
If one can automate account creation including saving totp secrets, you suddenly have 2fa authenticated bots able to send spam.
Maybe you could get around that to some extent by leveraging sms verification during account creation, but how do you set that up to prevent burner numbers? Or smishing?
These are hard problems to address
They already said they won’t remove old
You know, like they said API pricing would be reasonable.
Count your days
I’ve been addicted to disc golf for a decade, and while I’m still not very good, I still enjoy every single round so much.
There’s so much benefit to squeeze out of the sport:
Disc golf changed my life, and I hope others find their way to it too
That argument is circular nonsense.
They couldn’t have realized the full scope of the lack of mod tools until someone made it a problem.
So your argument seems to be based on Beehaw being at fault for not being able to see the future?
The fact that other instances aren’t moderated to the same standard means that Beehaw is at fault?
No, that is moderation.
These big communities were formed by people who may or may not have understood what federation means. This is the inherent implication that comes with subscribing to a community that is located on a separate instance. As long as the moderation tools are insufficient to stop rampant trolling, this is the only real reaction the instances have available If they are not willing to add a whole bunch of moderators.
Irresponsible is visiting other instances and not recognizing that what you post also reflects on your instance.
It is literally their community. They host it. They moderate it.
“Lemmy” is not a community, it is a loose federation of instances that can choose not to federate with other instances.
Your outrage seems based on “HOW DARE THEY BLOCK US FROM OUR COMMUNITY”, but it was never yours. You were merely allowed to use it
You seem to be thinking of instances like ISPs or something.
Instances are closer related to a house holding multiple parties in multiple rooms. People from other houses are welcome to join, but with the lack of moderation tools, if people from your house act like fools or assholes don’t be surprised when your house is collectively barred.
The only reason people are so upset is because they have misframed what Lemmy is in their heads as some libertarian wet dream with no authority whatever. There is an authority. It is each instance admin.
I’m truly glad that it’s helping someone; however, for every one of you there are a hundred people denied important procedures because insurance has decided its opinion is more important than the doctor’s.
An easily available example off the top of my head is Styropyro’s most recent video where he might have cancer but Insurance has denied his brain scan.
