Was this some glitch in the matrix, then? (For reference: attack happened on 2024-04-14)

Do you, by some chance, mean c/ukraine on sopuli and people cheering to the real-life gore that keeps being posted there, and users getting banned for their ethical concerns about it?

e: It can be pointed out that it’s even worse here than on platforms run by single companies. With those, the admins themselves will mostly not have a stake in the company but they themselves will be employees, which in theory would enable the company to hire ehtically vetted/trained personnel. Whereas here, the admins are likely be tech people who know how to run a server but might otherwise be overwhelmed with ethical conducting, or put their own political teint onto their platform, respectively. Lemmy has been deliberately set up in such a way.

Add to that the lack of good moderation tools. Many of the issues people are complaining about are prely technical, though; what is displayed in UI and database functionality. Such things could be solved though, by actually hiring some capable software developers (takes substantial funding), or by having it done bit by bit. Would there be enough people with enough faith in Lemmy to substantially contribute

In a nutshell, many people are bringing in more or less useful comments although it has already been suggested how this could work; the changes required would touch some core functionality in the way federation is done/ links are handled, thus none of the new devs take the initiative; the two main devs are occupied with other serious stuff.

I guess it means the DuckDuckGo Browser?

Question for you: are you taking your pills as prescribed by your doctor? :)

What an honest answer. Nice and educated.

ad 1. You seem to not have paid much attention to the fact that part of the audience you are talking to is leaving another company’s platform because of what is now called “enshittification”. Part of that includes targeted advertising. Why would a cooperative that is driven by such an interest trust your agency?
ad 2. Hope so that you are paying your contractors! ;-)
ad 3. I’ll take it. potentially.
ad 4. bruh!

You can Relax knowing that we are taking care for you of install, configuration, encryption, backups, software updates, os upgrades, live monitoring, alerts, live migrations without downtime …

I can also relax as the NSA and certainly others too, keep backups of all my tracking.

While i can see a benefit in such a service … anyway, one (and a half) questions out of principle:

Are you actively participating in Lemmy or the “Fediverse” at large, meaning that you’d have a vital interest in the development of collectively-operated social networks?
Or is it more so that you jumped on the opportunity to perhaps be the first company to put an advertisement in people’s feeds, in order to make a buseness?

… I may add, this is advertising a service which potentially would allow for customer lock-in, and at the same time it would allow the service provider to potentially gain power over parts of the network. Lemmy instance admins would in essence hand their keys and trustworthyness to a third party. That is concerning.

And … this is calling for a feature request: advertisement flag, including an ignore option in user settings.
