Lemmy intransparently punishes users for using reaction GIFs, writing “this” comments and punches communities for having the words "meme’ or “shitpost” in the title? that’s crazy

I don’t think there’s a writeup, but I can search for explanations later, I’m kind of on the go rn. These filters are technically optional, it’s just another piece of trust you have to hand over to your instance admin and hope they don’t turn them on. Also you have to trust that these optional filters are the only ones, and that there won’t be any hidden filters.

If you wanna give it a shot then by all means go ahead, but I personally feel very uneasy knowing these exist and the dev is willing to implement algorithms to punish people who post “bad content” in their eyes

if only there was a way for devs to distribute changes to the software they made

The fact these filters exist in the first place are not a good sign. When Microsoft introduces new shitware that is “disabled by default” people are skeptical that it might not be disabled for long, but when a fediverse dev does it to block content they personally don’t like it’s fine? This goes against the entire concept of the fediverse imho. Just block people you don’t like yourself

piefed has an opinionated dev reimplementing karma and filters for content they don’t like right into the application

You’re just wiggling the saw back and forth, yet the log is eventually halved

Do it like me and make awful coffee right at home 🚀

ah yes, the absolute zero of time. love it!

“How did you hook up your printer”

“Idk, the printer cable that was in the box”

“How did you hook up your 3D printer”

“I don’t own a 3D printer”

that will be at least 95% of your interactions in that regard

I think the people getting this are in a strong minority. Most people don’t know that the archetypical USB port is called USB-A, and most people don’t even interact with USB-B at all

This isn’t a meme

Not even remotely close to what I was saying

Sir this isn’t a democracy, this is a moderated community

I don’t believe crowds are inherently trustworthy or right. I can still question whether content belongs here or not, despite the crowd

Using this loose logic, literally anything can be related to science and be called a science meme

How is this a science meme

In der Sauna bin ich ja auch da und ansprechbar… Das Auto kann ich nicht ansprechen um zu fragen wie lange es denn noch dauert
