And now the ENTIRE INSTANCE for lululemon, who’s bot posts 1000 times a minute.

Isn’t it only if you have something configured in display name?

I think the exception is companies “too big to die.” They serve as the archangels of tech so ALL other goals lead to being bought by FAANG or dying.

Uh. That’s only part of the story. Bots can get through basically all verification. The defederation is more political than it is about spam bots.

Yea, maybe that page is a little misleading. lemmy-ui is probably what you’re using now. It’s the “webserver” that comes with lemmy that lets you access it from a browser (phone or desktop.) It’s not the ONLY option, but most instances (sites like lemmy.ml) use it. You can expect to see a bunch of phone and even other apps on that page as lemmy gets bigger.

The official web app is what you use if you browse to lemmy.ml. Maybe I misunderstanding what you are looking for.

You can access the whole thing from one server. :)

Debian for servers. Darwin for desktop. :)

This post will get removed. Cupcake is right. The problem right now is that it’s not as reliable as email and has a confusing end user experience. It will get better. Fingers crossed.

All good. Could be on a Wagner APC in Rostov-on-Don costing 12 rubles a second.

Not M. Night’s best work. I’m not a particular fan anyway, but here’s my micro-review. The love story was touching, but didn’t wrestle a tear out of me. You can tell from the flashbacks that the writers spent a lot of time thinking about the main characters, but there’s not enough screen time dedicated to developing them.

Most of the screen time is spent highlighting two or three perdictable jump scares, and many minutes of bad attempts to build suspense. The religious dogma is boring. If you’re going to include that as the premise of your thriller, then at least get creative.

Bautista is the best part and that’s saying something.

EDIT: The twist, if you can call it that, is more of a mild tale of morality about how things aren’t always what they seem. Blair Witch 2 had a better “twist” and it was one of the worst movies I’ve ever had to suffer through.

Coincidentally, I just went down the rabbit hole of the A24 production company. Very cool film-makers behind some of my most recent favourite flicks, including Marcel the Shell with Shoes on!

There is a rub though: even if it is a tiny instance, if the user base subscribes to other communities on other instances, traffic increase quit a lot. It’s small enough with 200k users but it could become an issue if growth is steady. It wouldn’t be long until “home” internet connections just won’t work reliably enough for admins.

That’s noble, but what if it grows beyond the admin’s capability to pay the hosting costs?

Reddit has always had the good stuff in the comments. The shitification, IMO, is the total lack of effort everywhere.
