Self-Hosting: Server: Easy (Leverage email hosting services) → Score: 18/20
Is it really self-hosting if someone else controls the data and software?
- Comment on Name some latest top Public Domain Movies 1 week ago:
The fix has been merged, but it hasn’t been backported to the 0.19 branch yet. It’s been brought up in another issue and it should be fairly simple to backport (most of the code isn’t even relevant for the 0.19 branch), so I’ll try to do that for Lemmy 0.19.12.
- Comment on UK government says anyone working in Britain for the Russian state will have to register and declare what they are doing or face jail 2 weeks ago:
I got the same timestamps with:
select name, score, comment_like.published from comment_like left join person on comment_like.person_id = person.id where comment_id = 16354453;
IDK, I just don’t think this is the pattern of someone boosting their comment (see !albumartporn@lemmy.world for actual vote manipulation), or at the very least I don’t think it’s Plinky doing it (he’s a fairly regular contributor to UK threads and this is the first time those accounts have interacted with his comments here).

I checked in the DB and the other Hexbear votes happened quite a bit after the comment was made. I don’t think someone doing voter fraud would wait 50 minutes, then another 15, to boost a comment, but maybe I’m underestimating their dedication.
- Comment on The fediverse promises social media without Big Tech – if it can avoid familiar pitfalls 2 weeks ago:
Though this content could flourish in pockets of the fediverse, the scary scenario of prevalent child sexual abuse material is not the case. There are many moderation tools, including shared blocklists, that prevent it. However, the idea that the fediverse is full of harmful content was used by Elon Musk to justify his anti-competitive decision to block links from X to Mastodon.
Didn’t he unban someone who posted one of the worst CSAM videos know?
- Comment on GOG seems to be considering paid membership option 2 weeks ago:
At this point they should just hire the Heroic devs, I doubt anything they could build themselves would compare in terms of quality.

- Comment on Which game is it? 4 weeks ago:
I haven’t actually played WoT since they added tier 8-10 light tanks, but god did I sink a lot of my teenage years into it. I have been really craving it lately, but I know better than to go back to it.
- Comment on Which game is it? 4 weeks ago:
World of Tanks, which is pretty funny considering the image.
- Comment on Welcome, new users! 5 weeks ago:
Made a fix: github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5509
By the looks of it, Dansup is it similar to how PeerTube does it, but doesn’t wrap it in an array which is annoying. Hopefully he changes that.

- Comment on Welcome, new users! 5 weeks ago:
Looks like I was wrong, PeerTube does set an
attributeTo
, it’s just different to how Lemmy does it. Lemmy expects anOrderedCollection
, while PeerTube sends an Array ofIDs
. Don’t know how I missed theattributeTo
in the PeerTube output I was looking at (I was pretty tired when I wrote the tbf). This is probably something to fix in Lemmy.cc @emperor@feddit.uk
- Comment on Welcome, new users! 5 weeks ago:
Had a look at the logs and trying to resolve a video fails with
OnlyModsCanPostInCommunity
. This is because PeerTube setslemmy:postingRestrictedToMods
to be true on theGroup
, but doesn’t set anattributeTo
for theGroup
object so Lemmy sees the community as having no moderators. It seems that the only reason this used to work was because theposting_restricted_to_mods
setting was ignored when resolving an object from ActivityPub.cc @s08nlql9@lemm.ee
- Comment on Jobless, isolated, fed misogynistic porn… where is the love for Britain’s lost boys? 5 weeks ago:
What a wild thing to publish on International Women’s Day. Almost like this “we don’t talk about young men” stuff the media is pushing isn’t about helping young men but telling women to shut up.
None of this is to deny the many inequalities faced by females in a patriarchal society.
“Faced by females”. There’s quite a bit of bioessentialism in this that attempts to essentially say violent men have no agency. Like I’m sorry, having a shitty childhood or high testosterone aren’t excuses. The culture shift needed to help young men is to treat them like people, capable of feeling the full range of human emotions, and part of being a person is being responsible for your actions.
Also, no amount of women capitulating to reactionary rhetoric is going to bring about a culture shift that young men don’t want, young men are just as responsible for making their lives better as everyone else. Yes, they need more support structures (we all do), but young men need to want to get better and I’m not sure a lot of them currently do.

- Comment on Ban misogynistic online pornography, review to propose 1 month ago:
Baroness Bertin made it clear she would not be approaching the topic from a prudish or disapproving position.
Because if there’s one thing you’d expect from a Tory peer it’s a healthy attitude to fetish porn.

Jeremy Hunt wants to cut benefits to pay for this increased defence spending. They’ll do anything before taxing rich people more.

- Comment on Don't forget where we came from and what shaped us as a species. The Jungle. 2 months ago:
You’re probably getting downvoted (I didn’t just fyi) because it wasn’t really relevant to the discussion. No one’s disputing if cannibalism is natural, I was just trying to point out that killing and eating children is natural and yet still morally wrong to do.

Killing and eating your children has been observed among a great many species, particularly lizards and mammals.
What where we talking about again?

There are plenty of things that are ‘natural’ that are wrong to do, why is eating meat any different?
