Tagging @ernest in case instance owners don’t have a larger community in which they share news like this with each other.
Possibly dumb question, but are you u/PoppinKream???
There is a single user who is posting dozens of times a day in my magazine (for which I am a moderator). Another mod on my team has raised the alarm about the user, like surely they’re going through a personal crisis to be so terminally online and posting so frequently.
I’m realizing now they might be a bot. The sources of articles are varied, and quality of article is like 30/70 serious/bullshit. The user occasionally comments on the submissions and I’m realizing the comments are generic rabble rousing instead of being complex language or referencing complex details from the articles shared.
Could anyone speak more to how to identify bot accounts? Many thanks!
Oh good. Millennials are due for another world calamity. We’ve had one plague. Why not a second plague?
What you call recruitment, I call conquest.
Trollish Uber MAGAs just aren’t happy with themselves until they’ve gotten a rise out of someone on the Internet.
Have a problem with it? Take it up with the union, bub.
I am reading this and commenting from kbin.social.
I hear you and agree that reddit was peak awful in the past few years, but I do in my heart of hearts want a reddit-like experience.
What I think is intriguing about the Fediverse is that it almost doesn’t matter how many people seem to be on any on instance because they mostly talk to each other.
I commented elsewhere two weeks ago that I think reddit’s redesign attracted a bunch of users who were looking for a facebook-like experience, and at the risk of falling into the false dichotomy of normies vs redditors, I think the redesign brought too many normies who didn’t want to learn reddiquette. I think something that will help kbin immensely is how (I say this lovingly) ugly and mostly featureless it is. There aren’t bells and whistles to make it an attractive draw for any other reason besides you want to be here and engage the content and community.
I do hope that as many of these early instances who seem to be “in it” for the right reasons quickly and unequivocally defederate from instances started up by companies like Meta, though.
I think prospects of going public via IPO were tanked when a tech giant like Google is publicly venturing opinions about the platform.
Wouldn’t this at least advance her career for a possible SCOTUS nomination?
This is funny, but not true. The federal government turns off servers and electronics after business hours in accordance with power-saving measures enacted by President Jimmy Carter.
Carter installed solar panels onto the White House in the late 70s, early 80s. Reagan came in and dismantled them.
