If you're wondering why I'm crossposting .ml content or for an account listing of accounts used for it, please see the bottom of this megathread

  • Is large scale direct reposting of content from corporate social media healthy for the Fediverse?

    Jump

  • For my .ml crossposting campaign I hit usually 70-100/day with maybe upwards of 150 on busy days, all just notifications from their rss feed.

    It just fills the "micro breaks" void that got left behind when I quit vaping. It only takes me like 15/20 seconds per post for most of them. Some do need special handling but that doesn't add that much

  • Is large scale direct reposting of content from corporate social media healthy for the Fediverse?

    Jump

  • I think I crosspost from .ml anywhere from 70-100 a day, maybe 150 on particularly busy days

    But that includes a bulk front load of the overnight posts when I wake up that's about ~20-40 posts

    It honestly just fills the "micro breaks" void that was left behind when I stopped vaping a few years ago

  • you know what's mildly infuriating? a reposter bot

    Jump

  • Nope not a bot, just a simple script that monitors .mls rss fed and fires notifications to my phone

    I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitalize non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some active niche comms.

    Megathread on the issue

    Some highlights from the link:

    Dessalines, head .ml admin, lead Lemmy dev actively spreading genocide denialism https://sh.itjust.works/post/61371958

    .ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

    "If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

    "Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

    "See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

    "NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

    General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

    And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

    I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

    On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

  • PieFed Flagship Instance Shadowbanning Instances from Discoverability & Other Questionable Updates

    Jump

  • I'm deprioritizing posting to PieFed.social comms for the moment, the next nearest was PieFed.social

    it looks less like "vitilizing" and more like fragmenting discussion.

    The Threadiverse is inherently fragmented, what one person sees from one instance could be wildly different from what another on a different one sees.

    You could be a ani.social user and think you're participating with .ml, but you're actually not because .ml defederated ani.social...for reasons apparently. Or maybe a user is on one of many instances that defed hex and grad or even one that does the whole triad. Or perhaps a user got tired of them and blocked the instance themselves or a boycott participating user. Or one of many many people banned in some form or another. (I could go on forever lol)

    Perhaps posting original content might go further to achieve your goals?

    I do that too with heavy frequency, usually from my lemy.lol account these days because now that it's an admin account, it's been removed from the crossposting rotation.

    Hell, some of the things Ive crossposted I genuinely enjoyed and started posting it on my own, like !gunnerkrigg@lemmy.cafe (one day your cross-posting and the next you're starting at chapter 1 of a 101 chapter comic series 😭) or The Devils Panties webcomic I post on !comics@lemmy.blahaj.zone

  • systemd

    Jump

  • Not a hater of systemd per se, sometimes it's annoying but to me it's eh whatever

    But the root issue, is it violates the ancient GNU/Linux philosophy of making one tool do one thing and having it do that one thing very well. If you need to do complicated things, then you make multiple tools in a way that you can chain them to accomplish those tasks

    It's why the core tools of linux: awk, grep, cat, sort etc are the way that they are

    SystemD violates this by being, well, everything. It's now handling networking and daemons and boot and a myriad of other things hence the meme

    Whether you see this as a good, bad or neutral thing depends on how closely you follow the tool philosophy
