I want to make a button on my site that makes the person surf THE INTERNET, and I’m making a huge list of the most varied stuff you can end up randomly.
This has been a contentious topic, sparking much debate but following the Governance post (feddit.org’s Zionist bar problem: community ban(s) vote), the Fediverse Anarchist Flotilla has decided to fully defedeate from from Feddit.org.
anyone else have this issue? browser crashed twice just now trying to post and use the site, nothing else is running on my OS that would have caused the crash. monitoring htop suggests its only this tab, Im on Firefox 147.0.4. browser is also slow when I go to sort comments by top, it will freeze my OS before loading. just curious if this is a known issue or not
Unfortunately Photon uses a CSS framework instead of meaningful CSS class names, so this is a hack that simply shrinks every image in every top comment’s thread, so YMMV.
My profile is now empty, I can’t see any of my posts, comments, messages or anything. It’s like I managed to block myself. From my account on .world I still can see my profile here.
Hello again peeps, I come back to you with more exciting news. After last months vote passed to accept quokk.au as a member of the FAF, the vote on their end only just marginally failed for a 1-vote tiebreaker. The primary reservation people expressed back then was not wanting to follow the FAF defederations/bans as many people chose quokk.au explicitly due to their defederation list, particularly of Marxist-Leninist-friendly instances like hexbear.
Ahoy m@tes, the scraping bot situation has been escalating recently, as you all may have already noticed by the recent site instability and 5xx error responses. @tenchiken@anarchist.nexus has been scrambling to block new scraping subnets as they appear, but these assholes keep jumping providers so it’s been an endless loop and constant firefighting.
It seems cloudflare has gone down and brought down half the internet, including half the fediverse. Lucky for us, the divisions by zero, is not hosted in cloudflare for that reason. Unlucky for the flotilla, the anarchist.nexus is on CF.
This is a proposal to have a weekly event where users could nominate and vote on a “Dbzer0 user of the week” to promote community engagement, also it would be fun as hell, this event could happen like on a weekend and could run from friday to sunday or friday to saturday
as this post pointed out, I was an asshole, And I took trolling too far, genocide denial or harming the community was not my intention as I was trying to find reasons to troll hexbear through my two accounts, I do not represent Dbzer0 or AN in anyway possible, and that post doesn’t represent my views at all, it was just a shitty attempt at humour that went too far, you could consider this an apology, you have every right to hate me, but if you all have the space in your hearts to forgive me, it would be much appreciated. then again it were probably be best to just ban me as it’s not what I want, but it’s probably best for the community, I have learned from my mistake but i’d never be able to live with it, like anyone else Im not perfect
Hey peeps, it seems out instance is suddenly experiencing some intermittent slowdowns, and the occasional 503 error. Typically this means we’re being hit with a GenAI scraping wave and these things tend to come and go until we can trace where the load is coming from and stop it. Unfortunately I’m currently AFK so until @tenchiken@lemmy.dbzer0.com can come online and take a look, we just have to live with it. Until then, I suggest you switch to our tesseract frontend, as it seems to be slightly more resistant in my experience, so you might not notice this as much. Alternatively you can use anarchist.nexus to keep browsing the threadiverse from the flotilla.
Ever since I created this instance, I wanted this corner of the fediverse to explore new radical ways to run online social media which attempts to tear down the built-in hierarchies of website hosting. The first step of this was the introduction of admin recalls a while ago, and when some of my co-admins approached me about also adding a piefed.dbzer0.com domain I saw an opportunity to attempt something I've been mulling on for a while: An Anarchist Confederation!
Not sure this is the right place for this. Seems like a Lemmy feature vs a db0 feature, however: I'd like to be able to click on the Name, or Subscribers, or any of the top-level fields and sort them, but it does not seem to work.
Hey m@tes (this still has not grown on me 🥲) I created this community to submit custom emojis. This is not official since I'm doing this for fun, and the other admins didn't take part in this. !emojis@lemmy.dbzer0.com
I just wanted to mention something that has been bothering me slightly. People keep referring to this instance as "db0" because it's quicker to type, but, well, that's just the username I've been using for the past 20+ years
I know I haven't been active since I began this very intense full time job (to go with my full time school) but I just got an email that said my subscription has gotten cancelled again.
'Allo m@tes, for some inexplicable reason we're all still here after yet another year in this fucked up world, so I thought it would be a good time to recap what we've done as it's been a fairly busy year for our growth and maturity.
Hey m@tes, a new lemmy version just dropped which adds some really good improvements, so it's time for a quick upgrade. Things I like particularly is finally emailing rejections and displaying rejection reasons in the UI.
Hey m@tes, as y'all know, this instance has been anti-corporate GenAI positive since it's creation and as such we've typically allowed such content to be posted freely. However in the last few weeks we've had a bunch of drama from GenAI haters who insist on coming into our comms and starting slap-fights. This caused us to vote on a new rule to have the mandate to clear out this constant friction. This worked to an extent, but I think we can help foster a better community with the larger threadiverse.
Apologies if this is the wrong community for this, I've just joined this instance but I seem to be having issues viewing some comments when logged in. Its most obvious with this post:
After yet another bot scraping wave forcing me to do sysadmin work at 3am, and me ranting about it on lemmy, @self@awful.systems linked me to a post that referenced iocaine which sounded a perfect way to get back on bots that don't respect our resources and time.
Hey everyone, hope you're doing well. For some time, lemmy's been struggling with donations. For all these years, the lemmy devs, like them or hate them; have been building the software that powers the entirety of the forumverse (that's what i'm calling it, fuck you) so if you have even a dollar/euro/peso/whatever to give, it would be greatly appreciated (by the lemmy devs, and all instance admins!)
Recently I wanted to refer to the general populace of the divisions by zero, but it occurred to me we don't have a good shorthand for it,. I.e. like one talks about "lemmings" or "redditors". We could use something for members of lemmy.dbzer0.com.
Hey peeps, the well-known spam problem in lemmy DMs is getting slightly worse, and the spammer in question is evolving their tactics to evade the very rudimentary options we have built-in to lemmy itself (or should I just call it,non-existent?). To get ahead of this, we deployed a DM-scanner directly in the DB, based off of this code but adjusted so that it's more difficult to pull off shenanigans.
In perusing the Lemmy community list, I've noticed several times the dormant !ukraine@lemmy.ca community mentioning a consolidation with !ukraine@feddit.kyiv.ua. As the latter instance has since gone offline, I inquired with the !ukraine@lemmy.ca moderator about switching the consolidation to one of the other two active Ukraine communities.
Is there any plan to try to fix federation with hexbear.net? Shortly after their domain expired it stopped working, but now that it's back it doesn't seem to have resumed. Does Lemmy even have something in place to fix federation issues when something like this happens?
In maintaining my Lemmy blocklist, I noticed that I was unable to block the thunder@lemmy.world community, despite it seemingly existing if I look for it on lemmy.world directly.
I want this to be a discussion. I'm sure everyone has seen this video by now, and I wanted to ask what people think about the prospect of labeling this sort of stuff as NSFW.
Hey peeps, 2 weeks ago we opened applications to onboard new instance admins. We had a ton of great people applying and just as we were getting ready to decide, I got struck down by the influenza b and completely flattened to my bed. Welp.
Just wanted to share for people who moderate communities that Tesseract lets you see who voted on a post or comment. This means that as moderators you finally have the ability to take action against users who downvote every post in your community or who vote with multiple accounts, or similar situations.
As communities are only federated with this instance when at least one of its users subscribes, new and small communities are at an inherent disadvantage in terms of discoverability. While not a problem unique to this instance, Lemmy Federate is used by several other instances to have a bot temporarily subscribe to communities from federated instances until at least one actual user from the instance subscribes.
Obviously reporting transphobic comments to a transphobic mod isn't going to result in any action, so I'm wondering if the admins are going to do anything about it?
Hello once again peeps. As part of my work in categorizing and flairing users based on their registration application, I thought, "why not use the same code to have a constantly running script that checks for new applications and automatically flairs them. Then after I built that, I thought to myself "why not PM new users with their starting flair"? And, well, long story short, our instance now has a script that will automatically PM new users with a full welcome message.
My work on threativore and flairs was the stepping stone for something I wanted to achieve ever since reddit. A way for a community (instance in our case) to be able to vote on decisions, without having to rely on comment-votes and manual counting, but also without allowing every rando on the service to vote on your internal matters.
Hello again you scallywags, welcome to to 2025! After last month's post we had a pretty amazing showing and we finished the funding for the year with quite a bit to spare! Not only that, but thanks to our 26 subscribers, we are completely self-reliant as we have enough stable subscriptions coming in to cover all our costs. Extra thanks to the two Salty Dogs who carry ~40% of the hosting costs on their own!
I created this account two days ago, but one of my posts ended up in the (metaphorical) hands of an AI powered search engine that has *scraping* capabilities. What do you guys think about this? How do you feel about your posts/content getting scraped off of the web and potentially being used by AI models and/or AI powered tools? Curious to hear your experiences and thoughts on this.
It's been getting a lot of quality of life upgrades recently and it's sad it's not more known by lemmy users. It handles a lot of things better than the lemmy devs envisioned in the lemmyUI and it improves integration of things like loops etc.
One year ago I developed the first (and from what I know, still only) real-time CSAM detection tool for the fediverse. This has been in use by this instance and recently the real-time version was put in use by lemmy.world. Unfortunately the false-positive rate was a tad too high as this was still using my original implementation in horde-safety. But through our demands in the AI Horde, we've had to constantly tweak and improve it over the past year and thereofre we've had an improved checker for a while, but not used in fedi-safety.
Recently noticed a resurfacing of the image bug that happened back when 0.19.6 was released where random posts with image links wouldn't be detected as the images they are.
Alo you 'orrible lot, another year is almost at end end. Can you believe we launched this ship one and a half year ago? And we're still going strong! Our instance keeps growing even with the "stringent" application instructions we have, with a good mix of pirates, anarchists and other weirdos joining. All according to plan!
I’ve had the ActivityPub plugin active on this blog for a while now and it’s been happily federating to mastodon for just as long. However it never worked on lemmy, and I always assumed it was just not set for it and was primarily focused on microblogging since lemmy was not even mentioned in the supported software.
I don't want to be the judge here or anything. Just wondering if a religious sub belongs in an instance with nothing anti-science as a rule. If its fine by everyone and the admin, its fine by me. I'd just block the community. Just felt wrong to see a Catholicism community in local.
As mentioned earlier, I have now finished upgrading lemmy to 0.19.6 which should bring massive improvements to federations speeds and a ton of other stuff. So many thanks to all the developers who made this happen! I love FOSS!
This is not a new issue, but we've had reports from some communities that they are experiencing a lot of repeated downvotes from the same set of people.
