I know a lot of white people in America who don’t care if Donald Trump is crowned dictator, because they think they’ll be fine. They want America to get as horrible as possible for the working class, because they think it’ll inspire the working class to rise up like Karl Marx said. They complain about the Democratic candidate in every election and say “not good enough, I’m staying home”. They think one starving Gazan child is a good reason to create a thousand more. They give “critical” support to Russia and the CCP, because they think western imperialism is the only kind worth opposing.

I know a lot of communists. There’s no overlap between the two groups.

Squid game in real life!?!?!?

Sorry not sorry

The server logs the submission time

Huh, thanks.

You seem knowledgeable about modern blizzard. What are the women who work there saying about equality? Would the breast milk thing happen again today?

I think it would be kind of you to edit your comment to avoid calling that person a man

Yeah, I was editing the code yesterday and realised we were both wrong. What it actually does is prevent the automatic bulk federator, which is a tool only admins have, from fetching those communities. It doesn’t affect the manual community fetcher, which is what users use. So it doesn’t limit user capabilities, only admin capabilities for automation. Also, the commit you linked is super out of date, the code is very different now.

Is that em-dash AI generated?

Oh boy oh boy, I think I’m about to receive a fun link with more Nutomic bad takes

I wonder if they mean the genocide-denying lemmy admin or the transphobic lemmy admin. It’s easy to mix those two guys up

I recommend MULTIVERSE, the anarcho-antirealist PieFed server. We have a karma system the same as Reddit, which you’re used to, and we don’t do any extra processing of the score. Some PieFed sites ignore karma earned on meme communities to prevent repost farming, but on MULTIVERSE, we just look at upvotes - downvotes, and unlike Reddit, your karma score means absolutely nothing for your ability to post on communities.

Me shocked to learn that PieFed (the software I am currently using) will delete My comment if it starts with a gif (like this one does)

I know a great cosmetic surgeon who’s very kind and responsible. He chopped My willy off.

No, just one purpose, the second one.

Not block. Just karma-devalue. I’m gonna rename the variable to something like “unwanted reputation sources”. If an admin doesn’t want people farming rep by posting porn, they can put porn on the list. That’s not blocking, it’s just a data filter for admin eyes only.

I used the federate remote communities page on the web UI, but I could also have typed the ! notation into a comment. I didn’t try using the search to find it, but I don’t think it would have worked. When I used the federation machine two weeks ago, I only grabbed communities over a certain size on certain instances. MULTIVERSE has to be told to look for smaller communities.

Still, communities like femcelmemes and dankchristianmemes and lemmyshitpost (shit is also on the list) were picked up by the community federation machine with no tinkering.

So here’s what the code does. That list you found, of the seven_things_plus, it’s Rimu’s idea of “low effort communities”. As an admin, when I click on a user, I can see their “reputation”, which shows if they’ve been getting lots of downvotes or lots of upvotes. And I also have a checkbox that says something like “ignore reputation from low effort communities”. It’s designed to prevent karma farming. Rimu designed it so if a robot posts a lot of memes to 196 to farm karma and then starts posting ads for RAID SHADOW LEGENDS, I have the option of ignoring the meme reputation and still seeing that the bot isn’t contributing anything of value. But I have the checkbox turned off because I like memes.

This week I’m gonna try making a PR to change that list’s name to something more descriptive and make it configurable by admins. I’ve never contributed to PieFed before so we’ll see if I can understand enough of the code to do it. Wish Me luck.

Try !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com from MULTIVERSE again, I just subscribed to it. You can’t manually trigger federation if you don’t have an account on MULTIVERSE. Thanks for the recommendation, I definitely want piracy on My instance. But I won’t be subscribing to the Musk community, I’ve had enough of that Nazi.

By the way, I use capitalised pronouns in all three grammatical persons.

And there’s no block on memes or piracy or the space pedophile. I can tell you what that code actually does if you ask. It doesn’t block federation to the communities.

Okay so I actually read the code just now, unlike you, and now I know what that list is for. It’s not a ban. You wanna hear what the list is for?

Woah, I see lots of posts on !memes@lemmy.world, and some of them have more than a thousand upvotes. I guess there’s no hardcoded bans on meme communities. You must have misunderstood the code.
