It's a meme. This image shows a lemmy user asking a highly technical question and a caption saying that that is the least technical user, implying that all other lemmy users are even more technical.

Do you drink beer, senator?

Surely kbin has a better plan for handling this stuff than "PM the admin"? Does this site not have a moderation team? Otherwise anyone who wants to spam ads/hatespeech/etc just needs to create their own magazine or use a magazine with an absentee moderator: Ernest is overworked AF and there's no way he can moderate a site this big alone.

interesting.
the default config file is basically "Drew's preferences watered down a bit for a general audience"
alacritty used to be Drew's preferred terminal for sway.
sway does not come packaged with any terminal.

"while pregnant due to facial recognition technology" damn. facial recognition technology is a lot more invasive than I thought it was.

1. a bunch of nascar fans were chanting "fuck joe biden" at a car show
2. a reporter thought they were cheering "let's go brandon" (one of the racecar drivers was named brandon)
3. right wingers start using "let's go brandon" as a minced oath instead of saying "fuck joe biden"
4. left wingers start using "let's go brandon" to signal support for joe biden. this turns into the dark brandon meme

Yes. American politics are that silly.

Owncast is an open source streaming platform. It's great for watch parties and it has its own built-in chat.

They're right; it is propaganda. It's corporate propaganda aimed at getting you to buy their garbage. Also known as advertising.

Edit: I'm getting downvoted for this, so I'll clarify: I don't think the movie is "demonic" or anything. But it is advertising and advertising is a type of propaganda https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda#Advertising

I haven't heard of WireMin until now. Looking at their FAQs, they have a lot of promises and not much to back them up. There's a lot of red flags here

• Closed source. It appears to be totally proprietary, so you can't look at the source code to ensure that they aren't lying about their product
• They will be introducing microtransactions into their chat app; likely using cryptocurrency.
• It's full of web3 crypto nonsense. It seems to me the only real plan to fund development is to be bought out by a large investor in the future.

the things you like about Reddit didn't exist when Reddit was the new alternative to the enshittification of Digg. KBin is brand new and Lemmy was not much more than a tankie hub until recently.

KBin and Lemmy will build the communities you're looking for over time. The question is: do you want those communities to develop under the shadow of the same algorithms, bots, and content you see on corporate social media, or do you want something new?

it's more like suspending someone who has engaged in bad behaviour in the past and is likely/promising to do it again. if you own your own fediverse site, you decide what the rules are and how to enforce them.

the difference between the fediverse and the corporate-controlled social media sites is that you can actually enforce your rules against larger companies on your own corner of the internet.
