Isn’t the whole thing with expats is that they explicitly keep their US citizenship? Most the self described expats I know are overseas military that married a local so my perspective may be skewed here.

That’s entirely possible, as it’s closer to being the very public conflicts of like a dozen people. You could have blocked one user and inadvertantly insulated yourself from almost all of it.

Sounds like a flood control for community creation would be appropriate.
It used to be in the early days instances would vet users at signup. Is there no mechanism for an instance admin to do the same for the creation of a community? They just can’t be vetted before creation?

That got built and implemented before that problem was realized and removed? Damn.
Even so, if the system is tracking votes as reputation, how were the anonymous votes actually tracked? That hash either hid the user or it didn’t.

It seems the chief complaint people have about Lemmy going to Piefed are how admins operate their instances. Not sure any of this will change that, or even help.
Not to mention all these are just a game for trolls and spammers to tool around with. Like: Up/downvotes were built before vote manipulation became a problem.
This stuff is the difference between building a bridge and governing who crosses it.

Which would appropriate for a client-side user-level filter instead of a server-side instance-admin hard-coded setting.

Looks like Piefed really is Lemmy with SpezTools.

So what exactly is going on there?

- Comment on Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game 2 weeks ago:
The bridge crossing level and using the crossbow to crucify combine soldiers were about the best parts of the game as I remember it.

They’re scooping up all the data for AI. They rebranded Office to just being AI.

That sign has a Z and letters with accent mark over it.
So I think this a picture of communism?

Surveying can be some worthwhile science gigwork.
Years ago I did some work with a research institute that was counting shellfish populations that was almost exactly this. A few weeks for a few summers hiking tidal zones. Most of the crews were college students, but not as interns or as a part of any programs. Some were just locals looking for some work.
I just don’t think a lot of that work is advertised outside colleges.

I miss when being an audiophile was just using vintage equipment and/or opting for lossless formats over compressed mp3s.

I have seen those Breaking Bad arguments before too, and I am more inclined accept that sentiment there.

Misogyny is a massive problem on reddit
Yeah but this is Lemmy. There’s far more overlap between ‘sausage party’ and ‘women’ here than most other social media can even handle.
And like, I never watched GoT nor read the books but still caught the reference. So this doesn’t feel like a form of arcane misogyny.

The decision to keep the ring on. Nice.
- Comment on Drova is surprisenly reactive 1 month ago:
I immediately caught the Gothic references/influence which I think was actually a bit of a drawback for me. I was able to predict a lot of the mechanics and story, like being able to figure out essentially a frame perfect way to defeat the strong bandits early in the game and then coasted on that loot.
That said I think it had quite a bit more depth than I was expecting and I appreciated that a great deal.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 1 month ago:
I don’t really care about game awards but it does seem like some retroactive application of opinion on genAI if they used it in 2022. There was a very different landscape and general opinion on genAI in 2022, (nonone really knew or cared.) I suspect the award show made the rule about genAI after 2022.
Either way, happy to see more press about good games, be it C33 or Blue Prince.

Sadly this fake Toilet Paper USA type stuff tends to provide cover for the heinous shit they actually say, while simultaneously obscuring the crazy things they do with the absurdity.
