Convincing a captcha that I’m smarter than an AI is getting hard

My paranoid theory is that some people* don’t like the idea of social media not run by companies.

But look, he’s gone

Pretty much what I’ve been doing

There was a huge one on Lemmy.World, which was probably the 2nd most active community on lemmy, next to this one.

Lemmy.world has been the target of lots of attacks in general since Lemmy got popular, and the latest one was targeting that specific community with CSAM spam. After dealing with the attacks, the admins shut down the targeted community out of caution and haven’t reopened yet. I don’t blame them for being extra safe, but it sucks that we don’t have a good shitposting community now.

I’ve felt a little guilty about dropping dumb stuff in meme communities. I miss lemmyshitpost.

We used to.

You are stronger than me. Be free

Remindme: another 20 years

Weirdly intense and antagonistic internet communists.

Like, picture that guy you avoided conversations with when you were 19.

Yep. I’m doing it right now.

You were one class off from greatness

It’s why I’ve found myself gravitating to the less defederation-happy instances. But a new user wouldn’t know to do that.

Counterpoint: new users who don’t know the ins and outs of the fediverse might join an instance at random and see significantly less content.
