Unfortunately the bot problem is coming to Lemmy.
Bots posting content is already a thing here, and then taking up front page space is already a thing.
Lemmy is speed running "How to lose your sense of community".

Seriously. We don't need bot bullshit on Lemmy.
This is the start of the slide for Reddit is just going to be worse here because there are fewer controls to actually detect and do something about bots.

It's made up of fools who follow fools, and soon to be fools who follow AI ran by people with an agenda.

You can't really tell.
It's also a very very VERY small platform compared to other social media platforms like Reddit. (I had another comment where I calculated this but it's ridiculously small)
It is unlikely that it would see anywhere near the same level of dedicated bot activity due to the low return on invested effort.
This is a problem that will become greater once the value of astroturfing and shifting opinion on Lemmy is high enough.

You're missing the big impact here which is that bots can shift public opinion in mass which affects you directly.
Gone are the days where individuals have their own opinions instead today opinions are just osmosised through social media.
And if social media is essentially just a message bought by whoever can pay for the biggest bot farm, then anyone who thinks for themselves and wants to push back immediately becomes the enemy of everyone else.
This is not a future that you want.

Mhm, I love dismissive "Look, it already works, and there's nothing to improve" comments.
Lemmy lacks significant capabilities to effectively handle the bots from 10+ years ago. Nevermind bots today.
The controls which are implemented are implemented based off of "classic" bot concerns from nearly a decade ago. And even then, they're shallow, and only "kind of" effective. They wouldn't be considered effective for a social media platform in 2014, they definitely are not anywhere near capability today.

Lemmy has no capability to handle non-advanced bots from yesteryear.
It's most definitely not capable of handing bots today and is absolutely unprepared for handling bots tomorrow.
The fediverse is honestly just pending the necessary popularity in order to be turned into bot slop with no controls.

Cities for example have their own microclimate partially because of the change in albedo.
You're literally talking about something that is well known well documented and well understood and has been for decades.
If you change the albedo of a surface that surface changes it's absorption of solar radiation. That surface will be warmer or cooler in the Sun. As a fundamental concept (ignoring more exotic materials and concepts). This means that that surface contributes or detracts from the climate in various ways.
I don't know what's so difficult about this :/
If you cover the entire country of Australia with black tiles do you really expect that there would be absolutely no change or difference than if you cover the entire country of Australia with white tiles?

They are 55th on the list for obesity rates.
It's a worldwide epidemic unfortunately.
For reference:
- U.S. is 10th with 41%
- Australia is 36th with 32%

I live in a country with a propensity for dark cement tiles, i really doubt panels are causing an uptick in heat
Of course they are (having an effect) why wouldn't they?
Any change in albedo modifies how much radiation is absorbed and emitted and the wavelengths it's emitted at.
Sure one tile doesn't do much but it does do something by a measurable degree. Even if tiny, it's still quantifiable.

This is exactly why we need ranked choice voting.
Winner takes all essentially demoralizes and alienates voters and drives people who agree with each other to fight because they're trapped in a broken system.
So instead of fighting the system, it's easier to just blame other people and alienate more of them against your cause, shooting yourself in the foot with ignorance. It's kind of disgusting.

Yep, and even worse. Lemmy has absolutely NO controls for quality and minimal moderation tools or capabilities. It's in a much worse position than Reddit.
If it's not already happening (And I think it is), it will.

Hopefully you all can help! I've been to _hundreds_ of threads over the last few days trying to puzzle this out, with no luck. **The problem:** 1. Caddy v2 with acme HTTP-1 ACME challenge (Changed from TLS-ALPN challenge) 2. Cloudflair DNS with proxy ON 3. All cloudflair https is off 4. This is a .co domain Any attempt to get certificates fails with an invalid challenge response. If I try and navigate (or curl) to the challenge directly I always get SSL validation errors as if all the requests are trying to upgrade to HTTPS. I'm kind of at my wit's end here and am running out of things to try. If I turn Cloud flare proxy off and go back to TLS-ALPN challenge, everything works as expected. However I do not wish to expose myself directly and want to use the proxy. What should I be doing? __________ **I have now solved this by using Cloudflair DNS ACME challenge**. Cloudflair SSL turned back on. Everything works as expected now, I can have external clients terminate SSL at cloudflair, cloudflair communicate with my proxy through HTTPS, and have internal clients terminate SSL at caddy.
I just messed my ankle up and am going to a conference in a couple days where I normally walk 15-25 miles/day for the next week. I've been advised to use a wheelchair instead of crutches. And will rent one when I get there. I get the feeling that I'm throwing myself into the fire here, having never used a wheelchair before, and likely spending a crazy amount of time in one moving around over the next week. I usually can't deal with sitting down for more than an hour or so before my back hurts, so I'm worried about that. What advice do you all have for me? What do I need to know? What pro-tips should I take for the next week?
In my 30's and only within the last few years have I been able to really introspect my life, and realize behaviors that I've "created" or "fake" in social interactions. I struggled a lot in middle/high school, and even through my 20's. I've essentially "found" myself to some degree in my 30's, but I'm actually not sure how much of it is me and how much of it is masking. I recognize the signs when I'm being fake in interactions that would benefit from being more genuine. It's automatic, and I've noticed others take notice when it's the wrong mask at the wrong time. Which just means I get better at it, which is nice and all, but it would be cool if it wasn't such an automatic reaction. So my question to all of you is how do you reduce masking behavior in situations or relationships where it may be beneficial or necessary to not do so? Awkwardly I guess you could answer this with "You get better at it with time", which is true of most things. However, I'm looking for some emotionally intelligent advice or anecdotes.
Anyone else get anxiety when waiting for communication on anything soft-planned (or even hard planned for that matter)? Spiraling and all that. Especially if the person involved is late or didn't respond. Ofc the reaction is to check in, that's what I'd want someone else to do for me if I indicated I'd do something or message someone. However, that can be interpreted as being needy or clingy when really I just want to know the plan and not be left hanging. Life happens ofc, people gotta cancel plans, that's okay. But what really rubs things wrong is being left without information, that's when the anxiety shoots. Do you wait for them, or go do something else? If you go do something else, what happens when they're suddenly available? That's not respecting my time, so it's rude, but do you convey that?? What if you _hinged_ your day on something, that just throws a big ass wrench in. Everyone is living their own lives, and things happen, preventing communication. It just feels like it's more common than it used to be, or more... Negligent? Gah. I guess /rant really.
I have already seen an allergist, and was on ramp up. We had to move, and to my surprise _none_ of the clinics here will administer allergy shots. There is a speciality clinic that will, but only if you are a patient of their allergist, they won't administer injections unless it came from them. There is a 3y wait-list for their allergist. This is terrible news. My seasonal allergies are _debilitating_, they are a disability. In the words of my allergist *"You are allergic to the world"*. I _could_ administer them at home, my spouse is an MA and knows how to do the subcutaneous shots. However, that's dangerous, and my allergist refuses to allow me to do this. The alternative would be to just walk into a clinic or ER, get the shots administered by my spouse in the lobby. Wait the 20-30 minutes to ensure no anaphylactic reaction, and go home. And do this till I've ramped. But I get the feeling this won't go over well.... What sort of advice do you have for me on navigating this Lemmy? I was receiving treatment for this condition, and now I can't, which is essentially driving me into depression.
This is great news, and a strong step forward. A big part of this are the limitations around part pairing. Which often prevents repairs as the parts on the device are paired to each other and do not allow you to swap them out. Recently this has become a problem even for EUVs like OneWheel. Who lock consumers out of repairing or modifying their devices.

I can't seem to figure out how to do this in liftoff. The best search and find method that I have for communities is to create a new post and I can search through the communities on an instance there. However I'm not sure how else to search for communities, it just go directly to one, as the search function isn't to helpful right now.
A good example of why GitHub and similar sites/services are not reliable or good places to publicize this sort of data. It seems kind of dubious that the DB could be DMCA'd for containing copyrighted videos, when it actually doesn't 🤔
