The main feature is that you’ll never have problem with too few or no seeders again, and everything will be fast always, and no one will ask or expect you to seed. Some have retention period on the content for like a decade.

Yeah, votes are slow for me now (5 seconds until a vote “registers” in the UI), but somehow loading entire posts with their comment chains is fast.

I want to make an app that defaults you to lemmynsfw just because of this comment now. Like pick a name and password and boom you have a porn feed now. No knowledge of instances or Lemmy needed. Would be pretty cool.

Long walks and much water. Also try eating prunes.

This is why their moderators’ best weapon is to not moderate and let all hell break loose. Reddit will then be forced to pull this shit and it’ll go to hell fast. It’s their best weapon, better than going NSFW or dark in protest. Just silently stop moderating and let Reddit and advertisers notice when they aren’t.

Maybe they could run a convoy of vehicles to Steve’s home and threaten him with destruction if there is no leadership change and see how that goes.

Depends how you look at it. I think it’s not hopeful because this implies they are in fact submerged and not on the surface (remember they can’t open the hatch from the inside so that has been a perfectly valid scenario as well). That in turn implies they’re most likely S.O.L I’m afraid. They have like 24 hours left and haven’t even found the sub yet. Getting the logistics done and hauling this one up itself takes a long time.

From what I’ve heard by experts, no. That chance is now extremely slim. Basically they then need to be found on the water surface. It’s a complex logistical challenge to lift a submersible at these incredible depth. I think certainly not done over a day or two even working around the clock.

And what’s worse now is they’ve apparently heard banging noises which indicates they are submerged. :-(

Exactly, and there’s honestly no need for them to be 100,000+ people in them either. 500 people goes a long way too. There’s a point of critical mass when you can have sustained discussions and there are enough upvotes to form a sensible feed by popularity in the community and that critical mass isn’t that huge IMHO.

If this is not a bug, it’s pretty wild. I don’t think this is even compliant to GDPR as for European users unless there is legal obligation or for archiving in public interest, scientific progress etc. I have a hard time seeing protection for Reddit here as it’s just a social news site, there’s no way around that. It’s not a bundle of research papers and the police hasn’t come knocking on their door asking them to recover content.

See The right to erasure (Article 17 & 19).

Yes, and that information is kind of in the sidebar, after replacing the initial @ in e.g. @tech@kbin.social with a ! for !tech@kbin.social. Just type that into search and follow. But would be real nice to have a browser extension to:

1. Pop up a “subscribe from my instance” button on external communities.
2. Giving our own “Communities” top link the browse.feddit.de features so we don’t need to go there.
