I’m not saying this is untrue, it may only apply to certain combinations of words or maybe even only channels over a certain size. But I’ve been chatting to a couple people over on YT about Mastodon the last few days, and nothing untoward happened to our convos.
That said, a lot of the time perfectly normal comments get flagged as spam for literally no reason at all, so it could just be general incompetence rather than malicious targeting.
One thing to keep in mind is that a lot of legal systems superstitiously assume that you can “guess” someone’s motivations, “intentions” (whatever this means) and similar. So cases like this often fall into a grey area, since they may or may not depend on the “intention” of who’s producing those scenes.
At least the UN definition defines CP as “any representation, by whatever means, of a child engaged in real or simulated explicit sexual activities or any representation of the sexual parts of a child for primarily sexual purposes.” I may be wrong but I do not think that the fetish itself counts as “explicit sexual activity”, nor that the target of the fetish (foot) counts as “sexual parts of a child”.
When RIF finally stopped working for me, it was giving error 429, which is Too Many Requests. I expect you’re getting lucky with whatever rate limiting scheme was implemented on reddit’s server side.
There will probably eventually be some commercial Lemmy sites. I honestly think it would be awesome if large game studios, and software companies, and anyone else who has need for a forum, made their own federated Lemmy instances as their official support forums.
There were several ways to search in the past weeks, it got simplified with the 0.18 update (lemmy users can check their version at the very bottom).
This means the tipps you can find from previous week and before are a bit outdated (although not completely wrong). I was confused then, and am still in the process of learning.
For now, for lemmy users, the best way (AFAIK) seems to be to search for the full community URL, like lemmy.world/c/nostupidquestions
I still think it works better when not searching for ‘Communities’, but for ‘All’, but maybe my habits aren’t updated yet.
A general technical insight about federation: New communities do not make themselves known to all federated instances. For each instance, one user has to ‘discover’ them first. This first lookup will be slower (a few seconds) and display as ‘No Result’, then switch to the result.
This means users from small instances and/or users who search for new or small communities have a chance to run into this issue.
As such, I wouldn’t trust the in-built search function too much, but use external tools to see what is out there. Once you know a community exists, you know when to ignore the ‘No Results’ message and wait longer, or ask for help.
Once you are the first subscriber from your instance to a remote community, you also don’t get the full history of posts and comments right away, but something like 20 only. So your logged in view (relative, such as /c/nostupidquestions) may show much less content than the native view (first link, full community URL).
One more thing to understand: The development is active and ongoing. Not only did many users join, but also some developers.
PS: We should use the wiki much more for these things. This would also allow the answers (if they link to the wiki) to remain updated, instead of outdated answers in older comments.
Linux Mint Cinnamon is a good choice. Even as a sysadmin and DevOps engineer I use it on my workstation because it Just Works. It has good window management, settings management, file management and just stays out of the way. Flatpak is well integrated for things you may need that aren’t natively packaged, like discord.
I’ve heard good things about PopOs too but haven’t tried it.
I’m atheist, but I’ve been interested in religion in general for quite some time.
From what I know, it’s that you have to genuinely have remorse for the bad things you’ve done and then Jesus will forgive you. It your remorse is fake, Jesus won’t forgive.
