What do you mean by “don’t move the Overton Window”? It’s not supposed to be a static thing. Once it didn’t include things like voting rights for women, or gay marriage. It’s supposed to be a flexible thing.

I could, but it would only reinforce their belief they’re victim here. Nothing would change.

Removed as a protest against the community’s support for campaigns to bring about the deaths of members of marginalized groups, and opposition to private entities working to prevent such campaigns, together with it’s mindless flaming and downvoting of anyone who disagrees.

As a postscript for this discussion only, be aware that virtually all the replies to my comments quote me out of context, or claim I’ve made arguments I haven’t. It’s safe to disregard them.

Quoted verbatim here, just in case you choose to edit it again.

The only reason you got downvoted to hell in this thread is because you want to paint everyone who opposes corporate censorship as transgender murder supporters, in, what the article itself describes as a futile, neverending effort.

And now that you are time and time confronted with the fallacies you employ, you decide to edit all your comments “in protest”. Stopping only to call everyone who opposed you even in the slightest an accomplice to murder. Very mature.

Edit: Ah cute. They delivered another show of their good intent in my DM;

Fuck off and die you harassing, lying, piece of shit.

Everyone who disagrees with you must be pro-kiwi huh? I rest my case.

Nothing out of the ordinary on commercial platforms where the user is the product, like Google, Facebook, or reddit.

Here on Lemmy (where most development is done out of charity, and servers are run by donations) it IS the outlier.

Why would it be legal to ignore the law because your product is in alpha or beta? Hell, Gmail was in “beta” for like the first 10 years of its existence.

I agree that “fuck this” might be a bit too strong for some people, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with “uninstalling”, as long as the reasoning behind it is mentioned.

Edit: I see now that you’re talking about hypotheticals, because nobody in this thread is doing that.

If its uncivilised to uninstall an app because it’s bugs are invading your privacy, then I don’t want to be civilised. If anything, I’m doing the author a favour by telling them why I’m using their competitors.

Why is it called “Revoke consent”? Consent was never asked during setup, so how can it be revoked?

Edit: oh great. It doesn’t even save your settings for objecting to “Legitimate interest”. Uninstalled.

It’s ironic, because the companies who claim to have a legitimate interest in tracking my behaviour are the ones I want to block from tracking me most of all.

Where did you have in mind?

BOT! KILL IT!

That’s why they’re talking about the next generation.

With AI you can easily generate 100 different ways to say the same thing. And it’s hard to distinguish a bot that’s parroting someone else from a person who’s repeating something they heard.

In a way this is the opposite of what you’re asking, but this is kind of the reason I set up https://lemmit.online - To allow people to get quality content like !itookapicture@lemmit.online automatically onto Lemmy.

Anyone can request subs to be synced, and admittedly, not all of those requests make sense, since it doesn’t sync comments. But the goal is to bootstrap content creation / combat people returning to reddit because they miss content there.

Nice! :D

As a side note: do your instances work when you put Cloudflare in proxy mode in front of it? At my current provider that breaks, but I’m not sure if that’s due to their implementation, or inherit to the software.

What kind of payment options do you provide? All the managed Lemmy instances I’ve found so far seem to be credit card (or crypto) only, which would be a hassle for me. In The Netherlands, iDEAL is used for most online transactions, and can be easily set up through through Stripe for example.

Either way, this is a great development, kudos to you! :)

Ha! I have been working on the same thing this weekend, except it uses the rss feed for posts and scrapes old.reddit.com for the details. It’s written in python, but not quite finished - scraping works, automation not yet.

My plan was to have a separate Lemmy instance for this, where people can also request for new subs to be included. This would reduce the spam in bigger communities, and allow instances to block it all together if they wanted to.

Beside that, I’d pre- or postfix each post with a message it’s a copy and a link to the original for copyright reasons. Moderation would be a separate story - Not particularly looking forward to that. Could make it so that if a post were flagged, it would re-aync with the original. Let reddit do the moderation :D
