- Comment on Automattic demanded web host pay $32M annually for using WordPress trademark 2 months ago:
Such a strange feud. Aren’t there a bunch of WordPress hosts that are given usage of the software name? It sounds like there’s just something specifically about WPengine’s deployments that are changing the formula, creating a sticking point.
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 2 months ago:
I appreciate anyone working on an actual community but doing the service of not just giving free content but free curation to a corporation seems unreal. Plus, I’m a grown adult. I don’t have the time to do all that much lol
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 2 months ago:
I truly don’t understand how anyone does the free work for a corporation to moderate a subreddit. Steps like this seem to treat them like employees and they’ll largely just chug along with it for… what? Notoriety?
- Comment on U.S. Announces New Rules Banning Fake Reviews and Testimonials, Allowing Authorities to Seek Civil Penalties Against Violators, Deter AI-Generated Fake Reviews 3 months ago:
Will this stand up to the death of Chevron deference? Or are we 3 weeks away from a judge throwing the rule out unless congress passes a specific law.
I think this is squarely in the charter of the FTC but who knows with the courts any longer. We just saw them strike down a ruling by the EPA to enact health measures under the requirements of the Civil Rights Act.
- Comment on Too big to care? Cloudflare comes again under pressure for enabling abusive sites, anti-spam NGO says 4 months ago:
There’s a balance to be struck here but Cloudflare is truly the most miserable entity I have to work with from an abuse perspective. They’re not necessarily “ignoring” warrants but most phishing doesn’t get reported with a legal takedown request. In those cases, Cloudflare will be almost intentionally obtuse. I’m happy to outline the misery of a host working with Cloudflare but it’s not necessarily important to this. TLDR; Cloudflare takes steps that don’t make sense for its “we’re not responsible” stance while also having zero automation in the year of our lord 2024.
I suppose everything could be a legal request but that just makes the whole process so infinitely worse for NGOs like Spamhaus and only serves to make lawyers excited that their consultation fees are going up. I see that the laziest pathway is “Youtube-like strikes” which is misery as well but they could just shift to investigating accounts receiving a high volume of reports as potential fraud or abuse actors since it is a drag on their services and these accounts are not paying or are paying with stolen credit cards.
Ultimately, I don’t disagree with you that much but there’s a lot of room for CF to improve their management of fraud & abuse without becoming a trash platform or invalidating legal protections.
- Comment on Too big to care? Cloudflare comes again under pressure for enabling abusive sites, anti-spam NGO says 4 months ago:
People who don’t work in fraud or abuse don’t understand how miserable Cloudflare is to work with. They have a single email box I can send to for identifying if I host a website that takes them days to respond to, no automation by the year of our lord 2024.
- Comment on Too big to care? Cloudflare comes again under pressure for enabling abusive sites, anti-spam NGO says 4 months ago:
It’s a bit more about how miserable it is to work with Cloudflare and their unwillingness to remove abuse in general, opting to say they’re “not the host” and that they cannot tell you where it is but they cannot do anything. It’s hardly an ethical decision to say that phishing and bulletproof hosting aren’t the bedfellows you want.
- Comment on Glad to announce that one of our previous mods, @rezz, has been reinstated to Lemmy.world 8 months ago:
I’ve seen this happen a bunch, unfortunately. A lot of communities with ghosted admins.
- Comment on Threads widens the gap with X, with triple the daily downloads on iOS | TechCrunch 9 months ago:
Interesting and all but boy, Threads sucks as an environment. It’s just the worst algorithm and their stance on “political content” is misery.
- Comment on JBL brings new microphones to CES 2024, including a wireless clip-on model 11 months ago:
Why do all the microphones have to glow? This is why I just ponied up and bought a Shure MV7. These have a better price point but I really don’t need gamer LEDs on the thing I also use for work.
- Comment on Clicks is a BlackBerry-style iPhone keyboard case designed for creators 11 months ago:
Fun device but I feel like we’ve most past the longing for physical keyboards.
- Comment on Where will Jrue Holiday finish the season? 1 year ago:
Celtics actually have picks to invest and could finagle the cap space to make it work but it’d take someone headed out to get a trade exception.
- Comment on Lebron is wanting to play in 2024 Olympics 1 year ago:
No one really gave a shit about the Olympics either until other nations started getting noticeably better.
- Comment on Lebron is wanting to play in 2024 Olympics 1 year ago:
Glad to see players finally give a shit now that we got embarrassed in FIBA but so it goes.

Good on him. Wasn’t great in Boston but glad to see him getting a lil shine.
