It's this much in the Seattle area sometimes, so that's one possibility. It's insane and I barely ever get any anymore.

If you slam it hard enough you can still do this.

For some reason doing it that way sounds extra fancy to us. At least it does to me. More formal I guess?

I can't say it matters to me that much what order it's in, but that's just the same order we say it in when fully written out. March 23, 2025. 03/23/2025.

That's just unfair... With real gambling you might actually get your money back!

As an indie dev I just want to thank you for doing this. We need more people and sites that work to surface unknown passion projects.

This one's definitely worth a play if you like the franchise. The writing is hilarious as usual, and there are some extremely cool environments in it.

This makes sense, thanks for the answer!

Consolidation is inevitable I think. The most important feature of a social network is who's on it, and federation is a technical enough concept that it's going to be very hard to convince people not to go to the biggest instance.

I'm not a dev, but I believe the only way to avoid consolidation is to build some kind of neutral signup site that automatically assigns people to an instance based on load/location. This would also be good for adoption cause people could sign up without having to figure out what instances are.

"We" (or "most people") is what people use when they want to make their statement more powerful. Ironically it actually makes it weaker and less relatable than if they picked someone specific or themselves.

I don't really understand how it would be, since things get duplicated across any federated instances. If anything it amplifies the spam since it auto-dupes it everywhere.

You might say everyone could just defederate, but at that point the damage is done, no? Not to mention if they're using bot armies they can just send them at any new instances that spin up.

Someone please let me know if I'm wrong, but I don't see how Lemmy could withstand any amount or coordinated cyber attack or operation.

If dedicated security teams from fortune 500 companies can't beat them, I don't see how someone's server in their garage is going to do it.
