  • The OP linked to the function with the ‘enoughmuskspam’ filter in it: it’s here (line 352 if it doesn’t auto-scroll down).

    It's a bug with the latest update that has already been patched. Not sure if piefed.ca has updated their instance in response to it, but this isn't even completely right as lemmy.ca was still returning results for "piracy" in the search.

    "So since a few hours ago, when I deployed v1.6, many communities no longer show up in the search. the private value should be true or false but really old communities have it as null"

    "Yes, null should be fixed to true or false. I originally added the private column many months ago, with no default value. So now the data is all over the place."

    (excerpts from the matrix chat)

    OP made some assumptions, got excited and just found a bug.

  • It's not disturbing. OP has unwittingly found a bug that they were passing off as a gotcha.

  • This was (is) my original lemmy.world account.

  • I am not Rimu.

  • Didn’t say it was a hugbox, said it fosters division.

    Does it? I don't see how.

    I don’t know whether piefed has less spam or not, and whether that’s by volume or percentage, and why. I haven’t seen any evidence favoring either platform.

    Piefed gets the same spam, but Piefed can catch the spammers and report them to Lemmy admins easier. That's what I mean here.

    There is no way Lemmy would triple in size in a day. Why would they build for something that would never happen? That’s like ordering three pizzas for a party when you only need one.

    Of course it wouldn't. My point was I am thinking of scale here when looking at these admin tools.

    I still oppose the low-karma feature on moral and ideological grounds. Voting is easily manipulated, so any system based on it is also easily manipulated.

    Well public voting on the fediverse mitigates that as people using alts or engaging in brigading can be often caught, are often caught, and community and instance banned for it.

    It was clear to me that site was for piefed.

    It outlines his philosophy, but he doesn't state he will enforce the same ideology on other instances with some iron fist.

  • So not “literally.” That’s the point I argued with.

    I don't see how it's inherently some sort of hugbox, as you claim.

    I browse by subscribed. I support the right for everyone to choose what they see with minimal persuasion. I don’t see this problem, if it exists.

    Good for you. But I am thinking at an instance level. Spam is actually a problem on platforms like this.

    If Lemmy was to triple in size tomorrow, it's base tools wouldn't be capable of dealing with it.

    I can make my own decisions about people without a flag next to their name. I vehemently oppose this feature.

    I just meant purely in terms of admins being able to see it. Whether or not it shows for users is another matter.

    As I just said: this is the main site for piefed, not just .social:

    Yes, I know. But it's not clear that all of the content there is meant to be specifically telling other owners how they should run their instance.

  • Basically piefed.social scrubs all posts and comments from those exact communities (that fall under those keywords specifically) after 6 months to save on space. Rimu (correctly or incorrectly) regards memeposting as mostly frivolous and not worth saving long-term.

  • Having looked at the words and code specifically in reference here, I think it's a copy and paste job from another local function (the local piefed.social retention rules)

  • Also, the context here is automatic federation of communities - right? It's not a keyword filter in the sense that you're referring to.

  • It can be and is disabled by other instances.

  • We’ve been building up the Pacific Fleet since the Bush 43 administration. War with China was the plan for PNAC prior to 9/11. And the Trump admin is flush with China Hawks.

    Okay, so? You do realise that China has changed a lot since then. Again: This is a nuclear power with over double the USAs population. What exactly do you imagine the war goals here are?

    PPP is a great place to start. Taiwanese cost of living has been climbing since Trump 1 while China has kept itself stable.

    Can I see your data points here?

    Basics - food, housing, transportation, education, health care - that Taiwan domestic policies privatized during the boom years have come back to eat their lunch in the lean years. Flat wages, rising debt, you do the math.

    Still no data points.

    You see the same problems across the Pacific Rim capitalist colony states. Everyone from Japan to India has been pinched by supply chain failures and venture capital excess. Taiwan’s not unique in this regard (honestly doing a lot better than most of their peers). But the check always comes due.

    Even if this is true, why would the Taiwanese want to become absorbed into a one-party state?

  • What legislation is planned that will somehow roll back LGBT rights in Taiwan to be equivalent to the PRC?

    Your source did not compare homelessness and poverty rates in China as compared to Taiwan.

  • You understand Taiwan is by far more liberal on LGBT rights than China, right? When did China legalise same-sex marriage? Or any of the rights granted to LGBT people in China?

    Do you think LGBT people in Sweden or Canada would prefer the social and legal situation of LGBT rights and expression in China as compared to their countries?

    Also, where is your data that homelessness is more prominent in China than Taiwan?

    Moreover, do you think journalists, activists in Taiwan, etc want to live under a one-party state where all dissent against the CCP is curated?

  • Sorry, again, you unironically think that the USA is going to attack China? A nuclear power with over double the USAs population?

    The point here is that you aren't even comparing it to China. What are the metrics and standards of living in Taiwan as compared to China?

  • Do you imagine Taiwanese LGBT people want to live under CCP rule?

  • Where is your evidence that Americans are trying to use Taiwan as a base for regime change? How would this even work?

    And your analysis on Taiwans housing prices and rent could be literally any major city in any major western country on earth. It does not demonstrate widespread poverty across Taiwan.

  • Only you guys seem to think this.

    China's overall end-goal is specifically to annex Taiwan. Taiwanese people do not want this. What would you call this?

    Have they? Why is Taiwanese standard of living so low?

    Is it? Based on what? What data are you referring to?

  • It was revealed to him in a dream.

  • And where did you gather any of this? You think Rimu's sole and only motivation for Piefed is that and nothing else?
