Was going to say "another one of these?" but, wow, the article really further highlights the childish nature of the Lemmy devs... Can't wait for Sublinks to reach feature parity and become main stream, so we can leave this dark phase behind.

One downvote from the OP to troll; one downvote from the troll to OP; ten downvotes from the troll’s arsenal of alts to OP; hundreds of downvotes to the troll from the community.

Reddit with their quirks and issues have at least demonstrated it’s fine for the most part. Established communities can identify trolls quickly, make them easier to spot for moderators through voting, and enable moderation tools to act and block quickly. Whereas the current Lemmy system feels like burying their head in the sand, and pretending trolls can’t exist because only admins can, through convoluted queries, see the users’ historical vote aggregate.

I’m aware; and as will I (I’m self hosting my own instance).

In the future, please use cross post instead and not click bait titles into different communities.

On a more related note, do you have knowledge if the image was federated outwards? I’m fairly sure I’ve subscribed to that community, so there may be an off chance I have received a copy of the image as part of federation. Is there any way to scour other instances to find images that is federated out and needs to be removed?

Good luck. The Lemmy devs took out total votes on profiles so people cannot see in aggregate how communities have viewed individual users in some lofty goal to be neutral. You’ll have to bend their arms backward for them to reintroduce some sort of aggregate score/trust.

Neither is 80M on a multi-billion multi-national corporation operation. WBD had $6.157B of gross income in FY2022 (FY2023 data aren't out yet, but it's close enough as a proxy). Writing off $80M against $6B is like someone with $100K incoming writing off 1.3K of losses. This is a drop in the bucket for them, just like how a couple hundred bucks are drop in the bucket for those of us that are some what privileged.

If you lose $100, you can write off $100 against your other gains. Why’d you need generational wealth?

In both Canada and US, you can write off investment losses that could be used against investment gains. If you’re Canadian or American, you have the same write off capability as they do.

The biggest fear would be when you’re rebuilding, you’re putting extra stress on the other drives, thereby increasing the risk of them, too, dying.

On the product offering page for Free DDoS Web Protection, the features table shows that "Unmetered DDoS Protection" is available for everyone regardless of tier from Free all the way up to Enterprise. This change was rolled out on 2017-09-25, prior to this, there was a certain amount of throughput depending on price point (though, still very generous for the free tier from what I remembered).

Sometimes, people make up their mind about something and never update their knowledge, and it would appear this is one of those case here.

No problem! I appreciate the civil discussion! Thank you!

The free tier rolled out was specifically to address upstream vendors patching Log4J too slowly. They’re able to monitor the requests and intercept malicious patterns before it hits the server running unpatched (due to upstream unavailable yet) applications. They are updating with more rules for the free tier set as far as they’ve stated. The extras from paid tiers are more extra rulesets and more analytics around what was blocked etc.

At the end of the day though, you do you; the benefit for me may not be benefit for you. I’m not selling their service, and have no benefit what so ever should anyone opt into their services.
