Reminds me of the old Whitney Wisconsin case from a few years ago. She even made a video defending her choice to fuck her dog, and encouraged others to try it.
Damned if I can find that old vid, and honestly I’m not putting in the effort.
My only complaint with jerboa is that it keeps forgetting my login details.
I use a password manager. I don’t know what my lemmy password is. I just know it’s really long, so logging in requires owning up a second app, searching for lemmy, copying my password, going back to jerboa, and then going through the login flow.
KeePass2Android has a software keyboard with integration with the pass DB and it detects what app you’re typing into (and websites too with browsers using the right API), and you can put the app name in the password entry to have it autofill
I’ve been using it over the last few days and I’m pretty impressed with it so far. Before that I was using connect, then sync but didn’t like the ads and insane prices, also tried out a few others but ultimately settled with infinity.
I’ve been using infinity for reddit ever since sync died and I find infinity for lemmy is quite polished and runs the smoothest out of all the apps I’ve tried, even smoother then sync for lemmy. The only bug I’ve ran into is trying to press the profile button on the navigation draw at the bottom crashes the app but it still works from the hamburger menu. I like that I have two of the same apps for both reddit and lemmy that are identical in both looks and usage too.
It’s a squad of trolls, there’s other users throwing around the same terminology despite most users probably not even giving a fuck about politics.
You can ignore them tbh they’re the stage prior to the fuckin homeless dude screaming in the street about some psychotic ass conspiracy theory. Wave to the animals in their cages
Looked up a list of all companies that worked with/supported Nazi Germany, pretty extensive. Some of these definitely surprised me, like Associated Press, Bayer, Ford, and Chase Bank.
Because that’s Jesus Land. The US has a large Christian population and the Jewish connections to the religion shapes their perception. I’m overgeneralizing a bit, but that’s the short answer.
The problem is its hard to tell what’s an ad and what’s not. Sometimes people ARE just enthusiastic about a product they found and want to share it.
It’s easier when it’s a large company like Burger King or something; like most people won’t just suddenly start raving about this great new burger place they found called Burger King. It’s different for more obscure companies. It could be actual Lemmy users who are just passionate or it could be company employees trying to sneak advertisements into site discussions.
I don’t think there’s any AI or other tools that could distinguish the two.
That’s why I like to start my day with a Whopper and side of onion rings from my favourite local burger joint, Burger King. It supports the community and I get a dank feed while I scroll through Lemmy’s dank memes.
Don’t forget to try the new Whopper melt. Add bacon for $.50 more, or make it spicy with another $1.00. Can’t fight climate change on an empty stomach.
I am one of these people, am a dope smoker and recently got into related Lemmy communities. There’s a lot of equipment that you dont hear about until through word of mouth so when I find something I LOVE through word of mouth like the arizer air max or brilliant cut grinder I do my part to scream their praises from the heavens so other smokers have a chance to hear about them.
!vaporents is an excellent community you may want to check into :) !trees is the trees community I frequent, will have to check out the shitjustworks one
Double edge sword. “This guy is shilling” reports go rampant .
Hopefully, the Reddit bot trackers peeps will move to lemmy, and lend us their wisdom.
I learnt so many ways realise a poster or commenter was a bit from those peeps. Amazing MVPs!
And folks like kitboga taught me that spammers/scammers generally stick to a script.
Yo I also worry about advertisers attempting to target me with localised advertisements, which is why I use Borg VPN! Nice try, advertisers, but those “hot milfs” are nowhere near me, ha!
That’s why I started my own instance, I got the freedom to pick and choose what instances I allow, so if any corporation decides to join the fediverse I don’t have to wait for the admin to defedederate.
Just make sure if you’re using it as a personal instance to make it so no one but the admin can make communities and restrict your sign ups so your instance can’t get taken over by nutjobs.
Interesting! Is there a risk of ballooning costs from legitimate bandwidth costs? Do you set some arbitrary limits on how much traffic you’ll support before you turn off the tap?
Yeah I could see myself eventually joining a splinter of the fediverse that is even more rabidly anti-corporate than we are right now. Like constantly blocking shills and instances that refuse to do their own aggressive pruning.
I like Fruity smells too! I have one now that smells kinda like a SweetTart candy but it’s called Wolfthorne and is aggressively masculine in the packaging and such lol
I get the different licenses apache Gnu, copy left, copy right. I’m just not intricately familiar with them. Is there one that exists that could do both?
No, but there are copyleft licenses that require anyone using a fork of some open-source project for for-profit purposes to subsequently open-source any changes they make.
Lemmy is AGPL v3.0. From what I understand, that means anyone running Lemmy (or a fork of Lemmy) needs to make their source code public, even if their code changes are strictly to support their own network infrastructure.
it really doesn’t matter though, as a corporation only needs to implement an interface to Lemmy via ActivityPub protocols; in other words it they could write a completely closed-source backend to use for profit and as long as it can poop out the correct data structures over ActivityPub to allow Lemmy instances to understand it, it will work.
This already happens as we can see and subscribe to kbin magazines, and Mastodon users can be @'d and IIRC can reply to comments via Hoot (or whatever they call it). Kinda wild, but it also leaves the door open to literally whoever.
I think the real interesting question is will a large corporate player be able to maintain a captive userbase? None of the doomsday scenarios play out in their favor unless they can capture users and communities - because then the usefulness of the whole thing rides on their server being available. At that point it’s reddit with more steps - they can do what they want.
