What do you mean hyperinflation, Argentina is clearly the epitome of a stable free market economy.

There’s nothing wrong with those kind of bots But when you take an instance for example granitestate.social, I think that’s what it’s called, which when I was looking into it had 100,000 inactive accounts sat there doing nothing.

These bots that have been created over the course of maybe a week could be used to spam or brigade instances. Emphasis on COULD, maybe they just sit there. Who knows?

But many instances took to purging idle bot accounts that had been created on their instances and defedrating from instances that had excessive numbers of bots

These idle accounts are hard to detect, so only when they appear in large quantities are they removable.

Just to clear up really I guess, I’m not talking about a Reddit repost bot or twitter scraper, more large amounts of bot spam.

I want to remind everyone that Lemmy has had a bot crisis, a while ago I did some research into botted instances and I estimated something like 40% of user accounts are bots. Although this was a while ago so I’m not sure if that is remotely accurate anymore

Many instances will have taken steps to start purging user accounts, at the scale of Lemmy, that downturn could be entirely explained by these bots being removed

Obviously some users will leave but i do feel it’s worth noting this fact

1. Buy unprofitable application
2. Make a series of incredibly shit business decisions
3. It’s now less profitable than before.
4. ???
5. ???
6. Profit

I’ve said it before on Lemmy and I’ll say it again, but mindustry. It’s the game that has held my attention for years and years, it never quite gets old.

Matrix I feel is one of the better os for newbies You just send them towards element.io. Or at least that’s what I did with my friend, when I wanted them to switch

How to get a successful IPO

1. Piss off userbase
2. Tell everyone you aren’t profitable
3. ???
4. Profit

The Lemmy DM is imo actually quite important. If I want to get in touch with someone about a post, nothing more. It is an easy option, and serves a purpose. It isn’t imo meant to be used for anything else.

This was thrown around a couple of weeks before the Reddit migration really kicked off, it appears to be excessively difficult to code. And it also doesn’t really fit with the system that Lemmy runs. It’s a great idea, but Ive been lead to believe that it is too difficult to create Although people do feel that account transfer would be a nice feature

Yeah I don’t know what’s going on with boost
