Well on firefox/chrome extensions you can search for text expander and choose an extension that works for you.

Or if you are using a phone you can do the same on the app store and I think there should be a few options.

Once you download one of them it should give instructions on how to use it, but in general it asks you to create a phrase that you want to be automatically triggered and a shorter phrase that automatically replaced with the longer phrase.

For example-

long phrase: The quick brown fox jumped over the moon.

short phrase: /qfox

and every time you typed /qfox it would replace it with “The quick brown fox jumped over the moon.”

Yeah the more people the better so its easier to have a class action lawsuit.

Also for me I’m using a text expander so that after I type a shortcut it automatically adds the rest of the text for me.

I was able to solve the problem. Instead of downloading it from the Software Manager I installed it from the terminal instead.

When I installed it from the software manager it didn’t download one of the packages (org.gnome.platform/44) but when I did it from the terminal it did.

Thx though.

Edit: Yeah it was a flatpak.

I mostly mention that to fend off the people that use the main basis of their argument as the effectiveness because that’s not why I’m doing it.

I do think it could work legally if the courts want to remain consistent, but that isn’t guaranteed.

yeah they were. I hope more people start doing it even if it doesn’t legally hold water its still a good way to show that fediverse users won’t stand for that.

How does it make the decision to recommend one post over another using the data it collects? Also does it treat all that data differently when ranking posts?

btw it feels really well polished so nice job.

Is it possible for you to use a mbin server instead? I think it is a fork that has more active development going on around it.

_{Anti Commercial-AI license (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)}

No clue.

My theories:

1. A lot of people like threads.net
2. They don’t like I asked for a source
3. Or they don’t like the copyleft license

Because that’s literally all the information my comment gives.

Thx.

Good that threads.net is in top 50 but I would’ve liked to see it higher. Right now it is at 39th place.

Edit: Also what is the source for the picture?

Just coming back to this after sometime and I am eating my words on them not making a dumb decision making their users pay for social media accounts.

X said that they would make new users pay 1$ per month.

If you scroll down it does give historical trends on comments, posts, monthly active users, etc.

What I meant is why do the graphs look so janky.

For example:

What happened in October 2023 that made so many users join?

and

What happened in February 2024 that made so many people stop posting?

Edit: March -> February

Why do the graphs look so weird?

You can block any posts coming from threads.net by going to settings and doing instance blocking but long term it probably is better to just move to a different instance that better aligns with your values.

I appreciate it.

I think it is part of a long term strategy.

They saw all the negative feedback that was given when the first announcement came and there were a lot of users saying its not so bad or that we should give them a chance then.

Eventually everything became quiet and things moved on now there is a steady rise of pro Meta comments again and this time it will lead to a less violent reaction because it has already happened once before.

Rinse and repeat until they become the norm.

When you check the mod logs and filter by mod you can see that it came from Mr. Kaplan which is a lemmy.world admin.

So yes it was a lemmy.world decision. The question is whether or not this admin was a lone actor.

This is sort of related but do you have any plans on looking for coordinated voting?

I’d love to see that happen.

I don’t see how you could prematurely know about spammers or trolls until someone reports them.

I don’t think you can. My suggestion was more focused on how admins make decisions after a report. Right now they have to do a manual scan of the person’s comment history and that is the part I find inefficient. If it was possible to just show extra high level information on the user it might make it easier for the admin to make a decision.

We don’t plan on adding any text-analyzing AI or anything like that into lemmy’s codebase.

Yeah using AI to try and analyze comments would be overkill and probably prone to manipulation anyways.

Edit: I’m sorta talking more specifically towards banning a user or seeing if what a user is doing is a repeated pattern.
