Come on OP, you are better than this. This is just a distasteful post.

Sorry can’t open the link; It requires reddit PRO /s

Ah shit I forgot about “display name” since I’ve been using voyager app…

Yes, I believe this is the first scam/spam-to-private-mail bot that reached such a wide audience. On lemmy at least.

Been going on for quite a while now, but it’s difficult to block permanently since there are so many instances where they can make an account. Until they’ve used up all the nicole+instance domain names lol.

Might get a rare nicole if you do that

Just a routine inspection and corrections on the road.

Instance administration is also quite time consuming and is also based on volunteer work.

The vast majority of content on lemmy will be inaccessible to an instance who is under complete anarchy / unmodded.

There is the fediseer project that helps instances block such instances.

If you spin up an LLM farm instance it’s guaranteed to be blocked in many of the big ones - making your instance a lone island.

It’s your instance (lemmings.world) admin.

This… This is how fediverse works though… You are also on an instance run basically entirely on volunteer work.

If “we quit” there is no fediverse. On top of it all moderation tools are not mature enough yet.

You’d rather have your data scraped and sold? Or pay to use a platform like this?

Please don’t create a bot account that is not flagged as a bot. There is enough malicious activity that you might not see because mods/admins are doing their job.

There is no need to increase the volunteer work these people do.

I’ve also been looking at FP but I believe there are some issues of getting one outside of Europe.

I believe many instances defederate lemmynsfw.com simply because instance admins don’t want that legal responsibility and don’t have tools to keep an eye on it.

It’s been there for quite a long time though, just incase people here were not aware.

I’m not going to say it’s not a me-problem, but disregarding the fact that if it was that simple it would be more widespread amongst people is making it seem as if we don’t try seriously and downplays the effort many like myself put in.

I care about privacy and about my close ones (as many here do) and I explain the issue to them in a nice way so to not come across as a pushy salesman, and they readily admit that they don’t want to put the effort in (effort as in learning something new, upkeeping with multiple apps, etc).

It’s not that I don’t know why they don’t switch immidiately - I know why. It’s simply that they don’t. It’s okay not to switch as long as you know the risks and I’ve explained the risks and they seem to understand it, but it’s not enough to get everyone to switch.

If life was that simple with everyone (I know some switch without hesitation) the world would be completely different.

You can explain to a decent normal person the imminent doom we are facing with climate change and they may understand it very well, but they still wont give up on using their car and switch to public transport immidiately, because it is an inconvenience.

Yup and months of premium instant 24/7 tech support to ensure the slightest thing doesn’t return them to default apps in the beginning !

100% agree with you and I do the same.

You can still download the APK from their repository, install it, and use signals built in censoring-evasion setting as far as I know.

They are even working on self updating app feature IIRC.

This is why I donate to signal. I know there are decentralized alternatives but I can barely get my family and friends to use Signal.

No worries, glad you found it!

What’s your country? Maybe we can help

There is a discussion (has been many discussions and for a long time) in lemmy GitHub repository about this: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/818

We even have an official lemmy community for joplin! [email protected] (it’s linked on their website)
