I did not know that .world was made by a Dutch person. Thanks for teaching me something new.

.world seems to have been the default instance people went to when they left reddit. It’s more or less than mentality imported into Lemmy. This led to the fact that creating a US specific instance is not necessary. .world fills that niche enough.

.world is more or less an American instance in all but name.

Opinion of what exactly?

Ah that’s my bad. My point still stands though. It’s not like he was able to convince everyone to become Protestant.

No pope has ever had the power to change everyone’s mind with a single word or speech. That’s never been a thing.

MLK definitely did not change everyone’s opinion. A lot of people? Sure. Everyone? Absolutely not.

Was there ever a time that this was the case?

Pretty sure that’s what forestation is all about.

Sorry I thought your comment was a reply to a different comment of mine, which is why I deleted it. For the record, no disagreements with what you say.

Oh, now I see. Thank you for clarifying.

I think the federated social media that is coming now is a great thing. It’s fantastic. It’s back to the old architecture, partially. But, I think it has unintentionally imitated some of the design patterns that exist on the current “they” internet. Among them:

You don’t control your experience. That is designed and curated for you by “they.” You can configure it, but you have to turn in a formal request if you want to make changes outside the parameters, and since you’re requesting someone spend significant effort on you who doesn’t know you from a can of paint, the answer is probably no.

Could you clarify what you mean by this? I assume when you say “they” on the Internet you talk about the Internet’s commercialization and commodification by companies. In what way is the Fediverse curated for you by “they”? Is it the news and other external links people post?

Thanks for the information. I took a look at the bots community and for what it’s worth I appreciate the amount of effort you put into fine tuning it as well as being as transparent as possible.

What kind of sample size of comments or time length would the bot use to make a decision? Is it safe to assume that those new Troll accounts would fly under this bots radar?

Edit:Also is there a functionality where we can look up a user using this tool? I would be interested in seeing some users I’ve interacted with in some political and news related communities.

I feel likes these sayings are more of a commentary om how one needs to accept certain things in life and learn to move past them.

Your community doesn’t need to be isolated to a single instance. Your home instance, lemm.ee, can be used as one.

On Wednesday, the European Commission (EC) announced that “X does indeed not qualify as a gatekeeper in relation to its online social networking service, given that the investigation revealed that X is not an important gateway for business users to reach end users.”

Task failed successfully.

That’s what filters are for.

That’s correct. The amount of users defaulting to that instance was worrying the admins. They wanted more people to move to other servers to help de-centralize the platform and ensure lemmy.world doesn’t control the whole fediverse through sheer numbers.

The fediverse’s decentralization is meant to circumvent this possibility. It’s all too easy to ignore one or two bad instances if it comes to that. No matter how big they get. It’s part of the reason you don’t see the lemmy.world instance in the lemmy server browser. It forces people to spread across the instances more instead of lemmy.world taking the direction of the fediverse wherever they see fit due to how many users they have. As long as the admins continue to respect this viewpoint, enshittifcation of the Fediverse will be postponed.
