  Yes, but this particular abusive feature is a result of misguided legislation, not profit-seeking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site”⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Under new rules rolling out over the coming months, a small number of users will be required to leave some of their moderator posts so that they aren’t moderating more than five subreddits with 100,000 monthly visitors.

  Good. We could do with a similar rule here on lemmy. I know there’s probably a lack of people to fill all the needed moderator positions, but I’m pretty sick of seeing the same people moderating the majority of communities that I visit.

  It becomes especially apparent when someone gets banned from one community and the powermod bans them from every other community that they moderate. It’s rare that someone actually deserves that type of scorched-earth response.

  I never met one on reddit who wasn’t just getting off on the power trip.

  The ones who don’t, you never meet.

  Well it’s mostly going directly to the hardware vendors (Nvidia) and infrastructure providers (Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud et al.).

  Which VPS provider are you using? Many of them end up blacklisted for mail delivery due to spammers using them.

  I grew up on Bullfrog games. I thought Molyneux was a genius until that fucking cube scam, and then Godus. I bought Godus on PC and it was the most disappointing trash I’ve ever played.

  Can’t wait to see what this youtuber has to say about that era.

  I spent 1 hour after release trying to fight Steam and then just bought it on GOG with no problem whatsoever.

  Playing the linux build on Steam Deck and it runs great.

  We need better safeguards against the mentally ill taking and holding power in our countries.

  These types of mental illness (addiction to power, money, status) naturally lead towards positions of power. If we don’t actively prevent it from happening, we will always be controlled by malignant megalomaniacs.

  Bring back sortition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Buck the Billionaires. Create Your Own Internet Services.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The solution proposed by the author is to host your own fediverse instance on a … wait for it … corporate VPS.

  I don’t think it helps to gate-keep self-hosting as being only for local hardware. It’s also about managing your own software stack so you’re not reliant on Big Tech to provide services to you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to selfhost with a VPN⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone with the ability to inject or modify packets in the network path between server and client can inject malicious javascript or browser exploits into an unencrypted HTTP TCP stream. The client’s User-Agent and other headers would allow the attacker to customize their attack to target that specific browser version, and compromise the client machine.

  What’s best for the website owners is to have people actually visit and interact with their website. Blocking AI tools is consistent with that.
