The article said that r/Pics and r/military have surrendered for the good of their communities. I mean, r/Pics could make that mistake, but r/military??? You understand it's MUCH easier to just execute your POWs than treat them humanely, right? Unfortunately, the mods are about to discover there's no Geneva Conventions for Reddit to prevent just that. Maybe they meant for this to be a teaching moment?

Within the year, once the protests have really died down, those mods will be purged. 100% guarantee it. The ONLY case where they survive is if Reddit wants to show how fair and magnanimous they are to the community. Of course, any further test of that will be get them nuked from orbit.

On desktop, hit the search icon in the top right and past the name in.

The problem people have is that I believe Lemmy uses a "!" at the start, but kbin uses an "@".

Example: @technology@lemmy.world and NOT !technology@lemmy.world

Edit:
You can also do it in the url bar like this:
https://kbin.social/m/technology@lemmy.world

I knew I was missing something. There should have been a crypto scam in there, too.

If you're missing Reddit, here, I'll give you that fix...

"I don't know what you're talking about. All my posts get 14million+ replies. Git gud."

"Ackshully, what you're calling Lemmy is the server software, which is only a part of the ActivityPub protocol... (4 paragraphs of technical stuff)."

"And my Axe!"

"Wait, what's a Lemmy?"

"Have you considered that these feelings might be a sign of depression? I took half a semester of a psychology class in college and..."

"Bro, don't doubt yourself. Fuck the haters."

"Bro, you doubt yourself because you know it's true. Get alpha."

"I thought this too, but then I got (some worthless product) and it fixed everything! I'm not affiliated in the sense that it is my product."

"You could post to both! Step 1: Post to Reddit. Step 2: Post to Lemmy. Step 3: ... Step 4: Profit!"

"Man, this sub doesn't stick to its own rules. He doesn't even mention federation. Someone ban this clown!"

"I am so insulted by this that I'm unsubbing, throwing my computer out the window, building a rocket, and flying off to Mars."

"I am so insulted by all these replies that I'm unsubbing, throwing..."

"Oh no! I have too many social media platforms to post on!" There are kids dying from space-based lasers all across the world. Talk about first world problems..."

"Hey I think this is the thing that is in more of for every in the past inside."

Feeling better?

How much of that Kickstarter money is set aside from the avalanche of lawsuits Adobe will launch when they see the name and icon?
There is zero chance it launches without rebranding, so I wonder what they're actually naming it.

A BambuLabs X1 Carbon (a nice printer that would be great if they didn't close source it)
A modded Voxelab Aquila (Ender3v2 clone used to learn, break, and train my patience)
I'm thinking Voron next, but I'll see what's out there when it's time to expand.

That's what I started on (well, a knock off clone) and I still say it's a great printer if you want to learn 3D printing.

Now, if you want to actually print right after buying, no no no. Not a good fit.

It's basically a set of parts that can be cheaply replaced, but measured properly (mostly) and lets you avoid putting together a BOM. Plus, there are tons of them out there, so lots of community support and many cheap, occasionally working, 3rd party upgrades.

I feel like it taught me the mindset of FDM troubleshooting and how the parts/variables interacted with each other. It was $150 a few years ago, so it's great for screwing up and figuring out what you want in your first real printer. It also has a lot of potential and folks that have modded them to actually run well, so it helped me figure out where I fell on the "It just works" to "Let's test these 200 different hotend fan duct designs" spectrum and which features were most important to me.

I don't WANT to agree, but I kinda do.

We're here because Reddit was shit on top shit, led by gaping anus. We all accept that Meta is the same.
We didn't want Reddit profiting from our work. Meta will do the same, only more competently.

Defederation is useless at scale They can continually spin up new instances that act as spies and bridges to Meta's area.
Once enough Meta bridge nodes are woven into the Fedi, they'll be masked by a backchannel to mask the exchange/activity.

Someone plz tell me I'm wrong, but this is how I think things work in the background...

• Bob creates a Lemmy node - @Zucc1.ughfuckoff. It has 3 users and basically shops around until someone in lemmy.world's sphere allows federation. Zucc1 looks like any random, small instance.
• Once federated, Zucc1 syncs to its connected Lemmy instances - for now there is no Meta connection.
• Zucc1 can then federate with a bunch of other instances, including Zucc2.
• This repeats for a few weeks, infiltrating Fedi. This could be happening now.
• A new set of Lemmy nodes spin up and federate only with a portion of the spy instances. The spy instances don't respect the federation rules, distributing portions of the Fedi sync back to the Meta connected nodes, masking the source and destination.
• Once signed posts are received by the spy nodes, user names are swapped with a table synced by spy and bridge instances. @User1@T4server.threads becomes @User7@Zucc4.ughfuckoff.
  • The Threads user sees their message from @someone@lemmy.world (which can also be swapped if they worry Threads users care about any of this stuff).
  • The Lemmy user sees the message from @User@Zucc4.ughfuckoff.

Probably easy to combat when it's one instance here and there. If it's constant and automated, federating would have to be paused until the spies are weeded out and there's a better detection strategy. If they get a big enough network going, they could all dip out at once, change identity, and refederate back in as the Fedi network flips out because of all the sync mismatches. Just more new nodes joining in. They have the source code, so they can act differently from other instances as long as it doesn't cause problems.

Is this a realistic scenario or am I way off base? I feel like it has to be one of the two.

Yes, you're printing on Hard Mode. PETG is weird at first, but easy-ish later on. Some veterans tend to treat it like no big deal, but it can be a real stumbling block for some. I know it took me a while.

Replied to above.

My point is that this argument makes as much sense as what I wrote, so it's encouraging the you think it's ridiculous.

"Versus" is a valueless delineation separating two subjects. There are two groups: The people of the Fediverse and the people not in the Fediverse. Neither one is good or bad, and in fact, many are a part of BOTH. That self awareness cancels any perceived negativity. We're all probably some level of "normie," and I've never heard someone use that word without immediate laughter by all parties. Sure, maybe in the early 00s by grade school punks, but I don't think anyone does or should care.

The point you're actually making, without articulating it well, is the lack of terminology for federated groups. No one wants to say, "I'm a member of a select federated Lemmy and Kbin instances within the larger Fediverse." You want an affirmative set of terms, so that delineation can be made; you want to say, "The X have this, and the not(X) have that." From there you can get to value judgements, based on the expression of X, and I'll recognize your concerns. The ridiculousness of those terms not existing makes it VERY hard to claim intentional negativity/harm because it simultaneously draws attention that group X in this case doesn't have their shit together enough to come up with a nickname or shorthand.

"You're better than us? What are you?"
"Well, you see, I'm a part of a federated network of...."
(Looks up - everyone left)

So, until someone comes up with some non-super-cringe terms for this wonderful mess, the discussion is a waste of everyone's time. And until then, I suggest taking it on a case by case basis. If someone is offended, tell them that's not intended because we don't have OUR shit together, ask them what they prefer, and use that term around them.
