Hi, I’m nLuLukna (en-loo-luke-nah).
I want to remind everyone that Lemmy has had a bot crisis, a while ago I did some research into botted instances and I estimated something like 40% of user accounts are bots. Although this was a while ago so I’m not sure if that is remotely accurate anymore
Many instances will have taken steps to start purging user accounts, at the scale of Lemmy, that downturn could be entirely explained by these bots being removed
Obviously some users will leave but i do feel it’s worth noting this fact
Come on man, you think of how many Dads you’d make proud.
Just edit the comment
You know you want to
No you can’t.
You cannot prove that it isn’t however. And until you can prove that it isn’t, by virtue of not being proven, it has not been proven. And as such it has not been proven and is therefore unproven. So yes it is.
It is so much better now then it was a month ago so imo we are now a floating boat rather than a sinking one that we are using buckets to keep floating
Yeah the first season was so much better I think its because they got rid of abe tbh
That one is one of the ones that I reckon the will slowly make a return as phone battery lives get more effective. Maybe not quite once a week but not having to charge my phone every day would be nice
I’m sticking with the 4a, buying second hand refurbished for like 180 quid on Amazon.
I don’t need a new phone, that has a slightly faster screen and slightly more memory. I’m quite happy as I am.
I also think that there were linch pins with in the threads app, people followed shadow accounts for there friends etc. Now I wouldn’t be surprised if alot of those friends then didn’t get the app, making said shadow follow pointless
How to get a successful IPO
Glad to see an EDM fan on here
But I’m going to do a shitty job recommending music, since you listed the artists who do like dnb electro… Which is an area that I’m almost totally clueless. But to take a shot in the dark, UNMD. It’s frenchcore techno so it’s a bit different. Maybe look at psy techno since it has the same kind of beat whilst keeping some the melodic parts of electro.
Sorry that was awful. But alot of the artists I listen to have really fat melodies which is like the exact opposite of what your looking for. Although I do like some of the artists you listed, so I’m gonna mix those into my playlists. So thanks I guess
Depends, if you just get a second hand one it’s way cheaper, but battery life can suck ass, bit of a gamble. If you get refurbished one, the battery is excellent but that costs a little more at 170 quid So it really boils down to if you wanna take the risk
I refuse to upgrade past a pixel 4a, because as far as I’m concerned it has everything I need. When my last one broke I just brought another pixel 4a, why? Because they cost like 150 quid second hand on Amazon.
When I have shown the phone to friends and such, I get the same reaction to the price since it looks like a really good phone. And cost significantly less.
No intention of flipping back ever again
I love most electronic music with my favourite subgenre being electro. Although dubstep and a trance are also up there rn
The Lemmy DM is imo actually quite important. If I want to get in touch with someone about a post, nothing more. It is an easy option, and serves a purpose. It isn’t imo meant to be used for anything else.
We have hit the critical mass; and that is a cause for celebration. A month ago when I joined, I thought that people would come, post a bit. See the limited content and leave. And I will admit it was painful to use Lemmy back then since a solid 90 percent of posts where about the site or were rips from Reddit. Fingers crossed for the future of Lemmy
Here’s a comment I saw here a while ago, but when exoduses occur, the site becomes a shithole of far right ideas. Since the far right tends to stay put for whatever reason. I think they used Reddit predcessor as an example but I’m not totally sure
This was thrown around a couple of weeks before the Reddit migration really kicked off, it appears to be excessively difficult to code. And it also doesn’t really fit with the system that Lemmy runs. It’s a great idea, but Ive been lead to believe that it is too difficult to create Although people do feel that account transfer would be a nice feature
There’s nothing wrong with those kind of bots But when you take an instance for example granitestate.social, I think that’s what it’s called, which when I was looking into it had 100,000 inactive accounts sat there doing nothing.
These bots that have been created over the course of maybe a week could be used to spam or brigade instances. Emphasis on COULD, maybe they just sit there. Who knows?
But many instances took to purging idle bot accounts that had been created on their instances and defedrating from instances that had excessive numbers of bots
These idle accounts are hard to detect, so only when they appear in large quantities are they removable.
Just to clear up really I guess, I’m not talking about a Reddit repost bot or twitter scraper, more large amounts of bot spam.
