My guess is it depends on the damage this attack will cause. If the missiles are all shot down or hit desert, it will be some punitive F-35 strike on an Iranian airfield somewhere. But if there’s significant damage and casualties it could escalate.
I don’t think Iran is going to risk all out war with Israel and the US. I suspect they expect most of their missiles (like the drones) to be shot down. Perhaps that’s wishful thinking though…
It’s surprisingly calming to listen to Patrick cathartically vent, after what must’ve been a stressful education and career in finance.
Keep Lemmy small. Make the influence of conversation here uninteresting.
I’m doing my part!
I’m pretty sure that’s not how it works on Lemmy. For some reason “block” here is really what “mute” is everywhere else on fedi.
It’s basically corporate anti-virus software. Intended to detect and prevent malware.
Most large instances have a support community. That seems like the suitable place to raise a moderation issue with specific a community on the instance.
What controversy? I’m down to hear about a Monolord controversy.
Yeah Lemmy, besides news and technology, is very quiet and I think it suffers from having communities fractured between instances, so niche interests get even less traffic than they would on Reddit. But my Mastodon feed is always busy and interesting. If it isn’t you’re not following the right people yet. I recommend some hashtag searches for things you’re interested in.
Moderation tools on Lemmy are supposedly seriously lacking. Defederation may sometimes be the only practical option even if it’s not ideal.
The larger the group of people gets, the more likely it is to contain toxic people. Normal distributions and all that.
Mastodon is by far the largest Fedi platform, which the article points out. So it will unavoidably contain the largest number of toxic people. Also most likely the largest number of absolute saints but that’s hardly as obvious I suppose.
Conan is awesome
They’re touring the US again this year, go see them https://metalinjection.net/tour-dates/conan-streams-first-in-a-series-of-new-10-records-announces-us-tour
I hope instance admins can clean up their databases from this stuff, because I suspect these Reddit mirroring bots take up enormous amounts of database storage on popular instances once all those posts get pushed there.
Got any fried chicken?
Best damn chicken in the state.
Bring me four fried chickens, and a Coke.
You want chicken wings or chicken legs?
Four fried chickens. And a Coke.
Companies use the same kind of systems to (poorly) automate the search for candidates, which is also spammy, inefficient, and wastes job-seekers time. This just levels the playing field.
