Go to the link, lol.

They* called it shadow banning on reddit, but I think of it more as shadow curating. I explain it a little more in other comments itt. Reddit does the curating as well.

IMO, you could do this live pretty easily. When I first started posting, the trolls would complain that I wasn’t consistently online, lol.

Theres a queue that is part of different instances. What can happen is posts/comments get backed up and the queue takes them all in. When an outage or slowdown happens it can bog down certain servers. Threadiverse (piefes/lemmy/mbin/etc…) up/down votes, comments, posts, etc… it gets slower as more instances connect to others. Its unfortunate but its part of the fediverse protocol. Piefed has some advances there, but it can still get bogged down sometimes.

I would probably agree with this being the issue, if it wasn’t so consistent except when I post out of the norm, I didn’t have a run in with a rogue mod deleting my posts days later, and them seeming to have a shit ton of money when the exodus happened like a corp would have. You may, but most of us don’t know who is behind the curtain for that instance.

With the way it’s happening, it can’t be explained when you really look at the nuances. It’s more like a bug that any of my posts get upvotes. Again, I don’t care about upvotes. This is extremely apparent because I’ve posted for years with only 8 upvotes for most of my posts.

So, instead of saying this isn’t happening, why not look into how it could be done? They’re doing it, I have no idea how. Take a look at new and you’ll see that things are being controlled for the all, hot page.

I post almost every work day, I can see the patterns really well from my end. I don’t care about upvotes as well, so I don’t really have any emotion attached to it other than it pisses me off that I’m probably not seeing other things they don’t want me to see. That’s really what I hated about reddit too and why I came here.

They could have someone controlling it real time, yeah? That would explain the inconsistency of when I post out of the norm. I’ve been lightly testing them for years now, which is why I believe I can safely say these things.

You can read the code? I can’t. It wouldn’t even have to be a permanent code. It cold work for say an hour, take the post out of the running for the front page, and then disappear. The effects would be the same.

I know this is happening, I have no idea how.

If an instance has the most people and blocks those people from seeing your post, delays it from posting, or downgrades it as a source, it could easily be done. They have control over their own instance.

Lemmy world does the same thing, but to a lesser extent. Since they have so much of the users on the fediverse, them controlling their front page really controls the votes and who sees what.

This is the creeping fascism America is trying to warn you about. We seem to be going down this road as well.

Guess who the probable leaker is, lmao:

During the sitdown, Wiles was asked whether she still backchannels to reporters, she joked: “And if I do, I get in trouble at the White House. I have a couple of friends in the reporter ranks, but we keep it to friendship.”

Unfortunately my work laptop has to be windows. I won’t touch Microslop product after working hours.

You mean that it has to be Microsoft? Cuz Libreoffice works on windows.

Lmao, today you taught me.

The video is pretty funny:

How Often Do You Think About the Roman Empire?

Also known as Asking My Husband How Often He Thinks About the Roman Empire or the Roman Empire TikTok Trend, refers to a 2023 Instagram Reels and TikTok trend in which women asked the men in their lives (husbands, boyfriends, fathers, brothers, etc.) how often they think about the Roman empire. When asked, the men predominantly said that they think about Rome frequently, resulting in the women being surprised by that.

Quizno’s rats. I thought it was strange to introduce rats as an ad for a food joint. My friends loved those commercials. I think about how different people are from those ads sometimes.

The AI also tells them that they’re awesome and smart. It’s a great match.

You know, I hadn’t thought about it from that angle. I bet they also wouldn’t really last long because there’s no “you did it” graphics or rewards on screen of any kind.

But it isn’t this idea just kind of a reverse cloud? Since running AI is so expensive, they could “borrow” other people’s ram. Just an idea.

Does a thing like crowd-sourcing ram work? Is it a thing? This would probably be the symptoms though, yeah?

I guess I should have looked it up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_volunteer_computing_projects
