What’s mildy infuriating is your attempt to advertise your app here. I have ad blockers, but I kind of suspect this site has ads on it somewhere.

I believe you can send DMs over the Matrix protocol. I’ve never looked into it.

Matrix has some Lemmy integration already and perhaps more in the future.

Those two things don’t seem conflicting. Some bad actor right now could upload illegal content to lemmy.world. It’s not like lemmy.world can defederate with itself as a solution. It must deal with it by deleting the content. An instance could potentially delete illegal content coming from everywhere on the lemmyverse. This would take a lot of work so if you didn’t want to bother doing that for instances other than your own you would defederate.

If some instance owner for whatever reason decided to take on this work either manually or with some automated process that allowed an instance to exist that is federated with everything, but clear of illegal content then it would be an appealing instance. Assuming I could curate my own instance block list.

Sure. This isn’t a solution to the problem lemmy.world is having. I just think this feature should exist.

It won’t protect a server from getting illegal content on their drives. Best to defederate if that is happening and can’t be dealt with otherwise. If you have some other method of dealing with illegal content on your server and wanted to host a Lemmy instance that is federated with everything it would only be appealing to me if I could block instances myself.

If we could control instance level blocking on a user level it would be much more feasible.

I see. If someone is yelling obscenities at you then its probably ok to yell at them too although I wouldn’t bother personally. I don’t think this poll can mean anything though as I imagine everyone has different understandings of what a “speaker” is and is doing.

What does it mean to “Shout down a speaker”? What are they speaking about and what is the purpose of shouting at them?

How is this not illegal, but sending spam emails is? What a messed up world.

People for once not being overworked has made it clear that the scope of modern AAA video games is unsustainable.

I dream of an ad free future.

I’ve been seeing this a lot lately. Lots of bandwagoning going on. It is what it is though. People are fallible and often just follow the herd instead of thinking.

Make sure to also link to Lemmy. 👍

I’ve been using an mp3 style walkman for awhile. There’s something about dedicated single purpose electronics that is so comfy. They also just work as the software is always barebones simple.

Profitting from free user generated content is uncool. 👍

She could have used that $12k as part of a down payment on her own place… what on earth is she thinking.

I think you are right with old listings and then maybe new people looking at old listings to make new listings without verifying.

Scalping I can understand completely, but this is a thing that is still made and available all over the place.

What is this device? I’m confused as to why it even exists.

Edit: I discovered it is literally called “Car Thing”.
