Edit: For those interested it’s Van Gogh - The Scream.
Is this some Swedish psyop meant to trigger Norwegians? The Scream was painted by Edvard Munch.
You also didn’t link to the actual painting.
How accurate is this map? If the Irish call football soccer, it would be most shocking thing I’ve learnt in 2024.
As I’m sure my home instance reveals, I do like the idea of focused instances. I think a general sports focused instance would be better than sport specific instances though, at least with lemmy’s current size. It’s not sustainable to pop up an instance for every sport out there, like strongman or arm wrestling.
And people would also have to be able to sign up to the instance. Which if I remember correctly you had a very different opinion on when you spoke to Snowe on !meta@programming.dev about programming.dev. Just from a technical standpoint, the federation latency and general wonkiness is real and is why my football bots are running on Lemmy.world despite programming.dev being my preferred instance. Near real-time communication is important during live games where minutes may drastically change the topic.
And while I’m sympathetic to your cause, inertia is a real thing and lemmy.world is competently run, even if I strongly disagree with their VPN restriction.
If you somehow managed to convince the other sports communities to migrate to a common instance I’d happily follow along though, but I find it very unlikely happen. ReadyUser31@lemmy.world is the one primarily in charge of !football@lemmy.world
I’d be interested in hearing the thoughts of some admins - would !football@lemmy.world be interested in moving to
!football@soccer.forum
, given the right organization?
I’m not the main mod of !football@lemmy.world so it’s really not my decision to make, but moving the community to a domain with the word soccer in it is a tough pill to swallow. As silly as it may sound, there’s a lot of people that don’t like having football referred to as soccer.
Moving away from lemmy.world and their annoying VPN restrictions would be nice though.
Yeah you’re right, local neighborhood militia sounds much better /s
The police do a valuable job if you’re living in a functional society.
Once operational, the energy generated is cheap and will still be in demand
It’s a genuine concern though. If you want one centralised server hosting all the content, just use reddit.
I don’t think you become the best tech CEO in the world by having a healthy approach to work. He is just wired differently, some people are just all about work.
It’s just a research paper, not a product. It’s about discovering and learning new possible methods and applications.
You could always ask someone to vouch for you. It could also be that you have open communities and closed communities. So you would build up trust in an open community before being trusted by someone to be allowed to interact with the closed communities. Open communities could be communities less interesting/harder for the bots to spam and closed communities could be the high risk ones, such as news and politics.
Would this greatly reduce the user friendliness of the site? Yes. But it would be an option if bots turn into a serious problem.
I haven’t really thought through the details and I’m not sure how well it would work for a decentralised network though. Would each instance run their own trust tree, or would trusted instances share a single trust database 🤷♂️
A chain/tree of trust. If a particular parent node has trusted a lot of users that proves to be malicious bots, you break the chain of trust by removing the parent node. Orphaned real users would then need to find a new account that is willing to trust them, while the bots are left out hanging.
Not sure how well it would work on federated platforms though.
but I don’t like the indentation crap
Do you not use indentation in other languages?
Edit: if you see a still image, you may need to click on the gif for it to play.
It’s not leak when it’s an intended and documented feature…
They are probably the most complex machines ever created by humanity though, and requires expertise across the whole world to build. Even if they had blueprints, it would take years just to get the manufacturing right.
The amount of bots, spam and other problematic content would be overwhelming for admins to moderate, most instances would just defederate on day 0.
Admins need a way to track votes to detect abuse/bots though. And anyone can be an admin if they set up an instance, so votes will still be public.
Don’t get high on your own supply, as the saying goes.
