That brand new accounts coming here to stir shit up should be banned. Actually I'm pretty sure everyone here thinks that.

My take is that you keep posting hot takes on here, trying to stir the pot, and then when called out you say it's just a joke bro
Okay you got me here, legit chucked out loud. We had an old Honda Civic we did this with, we enabled "turbo mode" when entering the freeway by disabling the ac
Yeah I tried tabby too and they had like a mandatory "we share your code " line and I hoped out. Like if you're going to do that I might as well just use claude
Freaking finally. We had an entire trilogy with zero direction or guidelines on what they wanted to accomplish, and got three very cobbled together messes that sort of kind of might make a story if you squint long enough. Then Solo, which I think would have done well if not released right after the worst received Star Wars when everyone was tired of it. Endless TV shows that had predictable "safe" plotlines to make investors happy while driving away audiences filled with "fan moments" that made it feel empty.
Rogue One and Andor are my only things I've enjoyed recently, and even then from what I've read/seen they constantly had to fight her to make the story they wanted to make. (And turns out they were the best ones)
Of course they do. Marketers saw barbenheimer and have been trying to remake that magic. Corporate can't just have a social phenomenon like that and let it pass now they need to manufacture it.
Hell it's not a mistake they're releasing these two big movies at the same time. You think 10 years ago they would have released on the same weekend?
See, this is why I don't know why anyone would say it's a choice. David Cross said it himself, but what kid is sitting there thinking "you know, I know that I don't find being with a man attractive at all, but, what if I c just chose to do that instead, also inviting endless ridicule and hatred towards me in the process. Yeah! Hat sounds like something I want to choose to do".
Lgbtq folks are some of the bravest I know, admitting to the world that they are who they are knowing what anger and hatred will be (sometimes literally) thrown at them due to arbitrary rules we as a society have
enjoying my audio on big ass speakers you can find in a thrift shop since
How dare you sir, talking about things you got at a thrift store. Mr moneybags over here not diving through dumpsters for his speakers. You in your ivory tower buying things second hand while we're out in the streets buying things fourth and fifth handed. For shame, for shame.
(/s although I hope that was obvious)
I think they were better at least, and mostly because there was space for them. In a CRT you had enough volume inside the TV to have even just little 2" drivers, now with ultrathins it's hard to fit any even moderately okay speaker in there.
Drivers constantly tell me that they'd never ride a bus because "smells" and "crazies". I've commuted via bus for years, almost a decade now. Sometimes, and I mean rarely you'll get someone who smells bad, or someone who screams but it's by far the oddity. Most of the time you get quiet people on the bus, drinking coffee, reading a book, listening to music. There is a comraderie in it as well.
I remember times when we did a silent mime clapping for a woman who had to run to catch the bus because she made it, or learning who ride every day and keeping a wayward eye out in case you see them showing up late. You just get to know them, they aren't friends but you just know them, even if you've never said hello. Something that driving would never ever give you.

Sorry for the alarming title but, Admins for real, go set up Anubis.
For context, Anubis is essentially a gatekeeper/rate limiter for small services. From them:
(Anubis) is designed to help protect the small internet from the endless storm of requests that flood in from AI companies. Anubis is as lightweight as possible to ensure that everyone can afford to protect the communities closest to them.
It puts forward a challenge that must be solved in order to gain access, and judges how trustworthy a connection is. For the vast majority of real users they will never notice, or will notice a small delay accessing your site the first time. Even smaller scrapers may get by relatively easily.
For big scrapers though, AI and trainers, they get hit with computational problems that waste their compute before being let in. (Trust me, I worked for a company that did "scrape the internet", and compute is expensive and a constant worry for them, so win win for us!)
Anubis ended up taking maybe 10 minutes to set up. For Lemmy hosters you literally just point your UI proxy at Anubis and point Anubis to Lemmy UI. Very easy and slots right in, minimal setup.
These graphs are since I turned it on less than an hour ago. I have a small instance, only a few people, and immediately my CPU usage has gone down and my requests per minute have gone down. I have already had thousands of requests challenged, I had no idea I was being scraped this much! You can see they're backing off in the charts.
(FYI, this only stops the web requests, so it does nothing to the API or federation. Those are proxied elsewhere, so it really does only target web scrapers).

Lemmings who made it out of incel-dom, what advice would you have to your previous self?

I've learned that any bar for entry significantly cuts down on spam. Turns out people are lazy and reactionary. Some may do that, but it's very few compared to those who want to troll right now.
Same thing with basic things like asking a question at sign up, or email verification. The most basic sign up things block 95% of spam
