Nah it should not. It would hurt decentralization and small instances. We already have a tool for curbing spam, it's called the Fediseer. You may or may not have heard about it, but most admins have.

Mai usato Friendica, ho giusto dato uno sguardo all'API per un'applicazione a cui ho lavorato (wink wink), ma consultando la documentazione ho notato che implementa l'API di Mastodon. Non basterebbe utilizzare uno dei tanti frontend già disponibili per Mastodon? O per caso Friendica ha delle funzionalità in più che non sarebbero disponibili su tali frontend?

That ban has been in place since about as long as smartphones have been a thing. And even regardless of the national ban, generally school forbade them as a local policy.

Doesn't change the fact that nothing will happen if the teacher doesn't act. So TL;DR nothing will change, it will remain up to the teacher like it already was.

Like others have said, the lily you saw are likely related with papal coats of arms. In general, popes often embedded their coats of arms into the monuments and villas they built.

Symbologically speaking, the fleur-de-lys is generally associated with various religious symbols such as the Blessed Mother, St. Joseph and purity in general, which is why we find them so often in heraldry (like you said the Bourbon coat of arms but even before then it's always been a symbol of France since the Frankish king Clovis' conversion), the Italian city of Florence, the French city of Lille, the British House of Lancaster and an uncountable number of Italian comuni.

Thanks for sharing, OP, just sent a report to my authority, the Italian Garante per la Privacy.

Huh. Different instances, I guess. I generally don't browse by all, but on my feed most news were non-US (mostly Europe although quite a few about Asia as well). But then again my instance is pretty tiny and definitely isn't federated with most large communities, so my perspective might be skewed.

To get a better view of the general content on Lemmy maybe we should look at the all feeds of lemm.ee or lemmy.world which, now that I look at them, are indeed quite US centric. So I guess it was just my perspective.

Si nous regardons le Poll of Polls par Politico il est clair que le EPP on sera le premier parti, donc si le partie la supporte, elle obtiendra probablement son deuxième mandat.

Personnellement ça ne me dérangerait pas. Je pense qui von der Leyen a fait du bon travail a garder la pertinence de l'Europe dans l'echelle mondiale. En outre, il serait probablement utile d'avoir une continuité au sein de l'executif de l'UE.

Matured? Really? I guess you haven't had a taste of the defederation drama. Users are great, but discussion between admins feel like the constant bickering of small children. And I say this as an admin myself, who at times does take part in those discussions. I think we still have a long way to go, when it comes to being matured.

I got the opposite idea. I think this place is much less US-centric than Reddit. And actually, if you look at the servers' location, there's way more in Europe than in America. So it would be fair to assume that many users would pick a server near their location and thus be from Europe rather than America.

His work in eradicating gang violence was impressive, I get why the few Salvadorians who aren't behind bars would vote for him. Although I can't help but wonder about how many people might have gotten unjustly incarcerated because of how much power he's given to the police.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I see. Well, I for one, think TikTok is definitely worse than Twitter because of its addictive nature, little user agency (you have almost no freedom of picking your own content, you are basically in the algorithm's hands) and serious privacy concerns.

Twitter is by no means a great platform, it's just that TikTok is SO BAD that it's actually hard to beat it in terms of shittiness.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Why would that be weird? Which platform would you have preferred (other than Mastodon, I guess)?

I have read about this procedure yesterday and it was also on twitter, from the account of the Commission.

I have built an AutoMod bot for my instance, lemmy.basedcount.com. The bot covers the following features:

  • Automated removal
    • of posts, based on their title, content or link
    • of comments, based on their content
    • configurable with either regular expressions or substrings
  • User whitelisting and exceptions for moderators to selectively lift some or all of the aforementioned rules for certain users.
  • Mention based pinning and locking of a post, through commands exclusively available to the mod team
  • Discord notifications for new registration applications through a webhook. [only for admins]

Naturally, the bot is completely open source. I have also written a rather comprehensive (albeit long-winded) documentation and some examples.

This project is mainly targeted towards admins of small instances, however anyone can spin up their own AutoMod instance for their favourite community (provided they are a moderator there).
The automoderator is also available as a Docker image, for ease of installation.

Feel free to suggest any additional features that you might want to see added to this bot.

Context

As you probably now, Hexbear is a fairly large leftist instance, whose users are notorious for being very loud in the communities of every instance they federate with. For a long time they blocked all instances, preferring to remain isolated. Recently, however, they have started allowing some large instances into their allow list.

Yesterday they expanded said list by including the popular sh.itjust.works (SJW) instance.

Some Hexbear users immediately jumped on the train by creating posts in [email protected] making sure everyone was aware of their presence and calling out what they thought was bigotry on SJW's side:

  • Example 1
  • Example 2, the post included in the meme, now removed

Currently, there's people on both sides calling for mutual defederation, as one Hexbear sees the other party as "bigoted" and "politically illiterate infants" while many people on SJW are just tired of the political spam.

Where do we stand in this mess? Comfortably on the sidelines, enjoying the popcorn while it lasts.

We have been informed of another potential CSAM attack to our federated instance lemmy.ml.

After the events of the last time, I have preemptively and temporarily defederated us from lemmy.ml until the situation can be assessed with more clarity.

I have already deleted the suspicious posts (without looking at them myself, all from the database's command line) and banned the author. To the best of our knowledge, at no point in time any CSAM content was saved on our server.

EDIT: 2023-09-03 8:40 UTC

There have been no further reports of similar problems arising from lemmy.ml or other instances, so I am re enabling federation. Thank you for your patience.

 

Unlike a certain platform with an orange logo, we aren't keen on sheltering pedophiles. During your stay on Based Count, feel free to make as many wood chipper jokes as you deem necessary.

[Test] Tell me about your day (lemmy.basedcount.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

I need to post a sample image to check some stuff on the admin side. But since I have your attention, why don't you tell me about your day?

 

Images posted within the last 48 hours will appear as broken. This is expected and intended.

Yesterday 2023-08-27 a community on the lemmy.world instance received multiple posts containing CSAM (or as it is more commonly known CP) content, which spread throughout the federation. We also ended up becoming involuntary hosts of said content.

Due to the severely limited nature of the Lemmy moderation tools, removing or purging the incriminated posts from the admin UI wasn't sufficient and didn't cause the images to be actually removed from our server. Because of this, a nuclear option was required. I have deleted every image saved by our server during the last 48 hours.

Unfortunately this also includes a post on [email protected] , as well as multiple posts on [email protected]. Authors of the affected posts can fix them by re-uploading their images, without the need to recreate the posts.

We are sorry for the inconvenience, but hosting CSAM content is highly illegal and we simply can't take any risks on this front.

I am currently discussing with the other admins whether further measures are necessary, to prevent this from happening in the future. We'll keep you posted if we have any updates.

EDIT [2023-08-28 10:00 UTC]:

The attack is still ongoing. I have now blocked the community and further deleted the last 15 minutes of images.

 

Test post

Idk. Not really sure what this community was about back on Reddit.

 

Test post

 

As stated in our sidebar:

Although our initial goal was to provide a new platform for r/PoliticalCompassMemes, we welcome the expansion to various new topics and themes.

which is why we are finally opening this thread.

If you have any suggestions for a community that you would like to run on our instance this is the place to post them. While our Rule 0 (no illegal content) remains our golden policy, there are a couple more guidelines for you to follow.

Community creation guidelines

  1. Take out your own trash: if you propose the creation of a community you must either moderate it yourself or appoint a willing moderator when you submit your request.
  2. Don't burn our bridges: while we value free speech, we also want to maintain a friendly and constructive atmosphere. Please refrain from posting any content that is deliberately hateful, as this could jeopardize our federation with other instances.
 

My humble takes on the most popular Lemmy instances, or "how to piss off the whole Fediverse with a single meme".

Here are the links to each one of the mentioned instances:

Far Left Centre Left Centre Right Far Right
Lemmygrad Exploding Heads
Hexbear Lemmy.ml Lemmy.world
Beehaw Pricefield Lemmy Based Count sh.itjust.works
Blåhaj Lemmy Divisions by zero Lemmy NSFW Hack Liberty
