If you're wondering why I'm crossposting .ml content or for an account listing of accounts used for it, please see the bottom of this megathread

    ABSOLUTELY NOT! You forgot the 18 gazillion dollar pay package for doing a bad job!

  • Why use so many accounts? Don't give me the "I'm supporting smaller instances" take. It's not supporting smaller instances when you make them look like they're part of your spam network.

    I've told you before my reasons, if you choose not believe them, that's on you, maybe you'd like me to just make something up that fits better with your predetermined narrative?

    1. Promoting smaller instances, because of the volume of my posting it helps makes smaller instances more recognizable
    2. Making comms on fitting smaller instances (e.g. a programming comm id make on programming.dev)
    3. Mitigating against the imposter problem
    4. Better interconnecting smaller instances

    It only serves to make it look like you're a spam network while also making it next to impossible to block your posts. Users will try to block you, think they've successfully curated their feeds, only to have you turn up again. It's not a great Lemmy experience.

    Unintended unfortunate side effect, if I truly wanted to dodge the people blocking me or wanted to make a "spam network" why on earth would I use a widely recognizable username? If I wanted to do such things I would generate unrelated usernames and make a million accounts that way. Each account would last much much longer. This method would be the dumbest possible implementation of it lmfao

    Plus, it would be a whole hell of a lot easier to just setup shop on a larger instance and call it a day, it's a lot more work to need to sub to all the comms these smaller instances are missing when I need to post to them, among other random small issues lol

    It also is not a good look to strip any reference to the OP, cross posts exist for a reason. It just makes it look like you're stealing people's posts and trying to make them your own.

    All crossposts show in the crosspost section of your relevant client:

    Text posts which have no link to lock onto get a username tag in the post, OC gets a username tag regardless

  • I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.

    Megathread on the issue

    Some highlights from the link:

    "Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

    "See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

    .ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

    "NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

    General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

    "If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

    And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

    I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

    On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

  • I'm heavily researching tape for my data, I currently sit around 400TBs Total but only around 200 in data that id actually want to backup and can't just redownload.

    Iirc the break even point 100-150TB

    ETA: that break even point might actually be lower now that I think about it since that number is probably outdated when I did it and doesn't account for the shortage crap

  • Half of these problems would be solved with a tagging system like on Reddit, then you could just block by tags

    I'm pretty sure PieFed rolled out a tagging system, but clients haven't caught up yet

    If you're that hardcore into privacy or your threat model justifies it, then grapheneos isn't for you because you're already well prepared to make significant compromise and/or expense to pursue that goal.
