  • Banned from a sub Reddit, but you wouldn't be banned from Reddit site wide - unless you off the scale heinous.

    As much as I dislike Reddit's direction and have had site wide temporary bans myself, i find it hard to believe you were properly banned for what you described. I was temporary banned because I was flaunting that I wasn't abiding by Reddit's rules, and even then, it was only a 2 week ban on a single account.

  • Reddit in talks to embrace Sam Altman’s iris-scanning Orb to verify users

  • What you describe is the main reason that's stopping me from 100% leaving Reddit. There isn't enough variety and there isn't enough activity in communities that isn't in the few popular ones. At the moment it feels like +80% of current users fit into a specific demographic.

  • Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers

  • I think that says more about the channels you watch and your viewing habits. I enjoy STEM and STEM related channels; I don't experience the same as what you've described.

  • Science Badly Needs Defending Right Now. It Doesn’t Need Your Belief.

  • You still have to believe the author and the peer reviewers did the correct thing through the process. You have to believe the results presented are real and accurate. Etc, etc.

    For example, one of the many scandals of recent times is Franchesca Gino at Harvard publishing false research papers that present false data. People believed it was all real and genuine until a group of people started to do a deep dive into her research.

  • I've not heard of Sopuli or .cafe before. Do they cater for a niche audience or something?

  • Yeah that's the exact reason why I dislike the .zip TLD, and the same goes for .mov. The TLDs can be easily abused to look like something they're not to trick people into visiting their website that downloads something malicious.

  • If you saw ChromeUpdate202506.zip, then what do you believe it is? A downloadable update for Chrome or a website?

    What if a malicious person has purchased that domain and filled the website with something malicious, a virus, an info stealer, etc?

    I block the .zip TLD because the domains can be used maliciously. Within the first few days there were hundreds/thousands of domains registered with names to look like zip files for updating software and the like.

    I also block the .mov TLD for the exact same reason.

    Sure on a good day you can spot the malicious intent from a mile away, but I like to protect for when I'm having a bad day. I also block the TLDs for the whole family as well because unfortunately they're not as tech savvy or meticulous.

  • Bots submitting content on behalf of people? That sounds like spam does it not?

  • Good good. I hope that's the case. I'd prefer to see the variety of instances that people enjoy. :)

  • I like the idea of self hosting; I'm just concerned about being defederated by an admin/mod that's taken things the wrong way.

    I'm not a spicy person, but I'm sure I've upset some people, some how. I say that, but I know I've upset at least one person online.

    The person stated they do a thing, and me being curious, I asked them a question about it because I wanted to know more. They replied with a really angry message. It sounds preposterous but it really was as benign as that. I've seen the same person respond to others in the same unreasonable manner. It's this type of person that I'm concerned about.

  • There are some instances far worst than others other. I think hex bear has been defederated by many for example.

    And I agree with the crazies; I think it's true for any group that's large enough, regardless of platform or real world communities.

  • Any website or service that utilizes the .zip TLD 🤮🤮

    I'm sure there are great websites and services that utilize it, but I have a strong opinion that the TLD should have never been put out there for people to use. I block all .zip TLD domains with no exceptions; and so unfortunately, I cannot use lemmy.zip.

    To be fair, I have no real opinions about lemm.ee. It was one of the instances that had the most users when I joined Lemmy, and as far as I'm aware it hasn't received any real negative press.

    I'm more bothered about seeing or being associated with spam and/or an instance full of toxic people. I'm not a spicy person - or so I'd like to think.

  • I've never clocked on that the colors are in the order of the rainbow. Mind blown that it's taken your comment to highlight this for me.

    I also like that the colors surrounding are shades of lightness... cough cough let's ignore the brown.

  • The racist term I was taught when I was a young person

    (Color of darkness) (fatherless children) (coerced non-consensual reproduction activities) our (new people to the world) (XX people) but (pure people) go without.

    I hate reading resistor color codes because which is the correct orientation for the resistor. Band gaps and positions on real world resistors don't stand out as much as what the theoretical charts show - so I always meter them anyway.
