My first time ever installing an adblocker was during a rapid anti-smoking campaign
Those ads made me want to take up smoking out of spite.
By that logic using a VCR to record television and fast-forwarding adverts is piracy.
but set them to pull such numbers in for each post/comment mirrored from another instance.
I think the asynchronous way lemmy handles creating a comment/post and then sending it would make this difficult.
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I consider wordpress open core at best these days.
A lot of really basic features like lightboxes that should be in core are in their "jetpack" SaaS plugin. This by default sends automattic a whole bunch of telemetry, which I assume they are now selling to OpenAI, and puts ads in your dashboard for other commercial SaaS features.
There's also the fact that they don't allow forks of open source plugins in their plugin repository.
I imagine with a lot of ancient languages there's about 3 people capable of translating it and they're all university professors in ancient history, who write like that normally.
If you’re proposing overhauling the whole architecture of lemmy to use consistent UUID-based IDs for comments, posts, etc. across all instances, that could probably work but there are some edge cases especially with malicious actors, and it would be a huge undertaking.
That was what I was suggesting yeah, version 3-5 look like it could work, you could use the originating server as the name-space, and a local server generated ID for the name. As long as they only use information sent elsewhere the hashes should be reproducible, so you can check that a server is only using it's own name to send new comments/posts, which should protect against the obvious attacks.
The more I think about it I'm not sure you would even need to use an official UUID system actually, just make something like - as the unique ID?
I agree it would be a big change to make though, especially dealing with all the existing posts.
That's somehow worse than every possibility I imagined.
They're probably in a better state than all the shoddy later builds with RAAC roofs.
I think they were more on grad, at least there was an admin post there telling the refugees to behave.
The more I read about .world the more I'm convinced it's run by feds.
could this cause accessibility issues for screen readers?
