Read the article above. He’s very anti-immigrant, and anti-communist.

A few that I can think of: Rockhill, Smith, Enfu, Boer, Manoel, Foster, Cockshott, Shaikh.

We lost Losurdo pretty recently, and he was IMO one of the best of the last few decades.

Any negative speech: especially harsh, slanderous or divisive, that provokes equally charged emotional responses.

One other thing I’d like to add: It’s not just that rage-inducing content is out there, that’s always been there. It’s that it gets rewarded by big tech, by making sure that highly responded content, gets pushed to the top.

Capitalist tech companies have an incentive to platform this content because it increases the on-site time, and their own popularity, to the detriment of their users mental health. It also helps them push pro-capitalist narratives that atomize and isolate people who should be united by a shared humanity and class status.

tbh we’re somewhat guilty of this in lemmy also, with the Active sort allowing new comments to bump posts to the top of feeds.

The only real way to fight it, is to keep an eye out for these toxic / combative threads and posters, and remove them if necessary. Since we don’t capitalist incentives to keep people on site or serve ads, it serves no benefit to keep rage-bait posters around.

You can’t download the entire history in one go, but you can copy the link of the post, and put it in the search bar. It should then be cached locally.

Just from experience as an admin reviewing applications, bots are nowhere near replicants. 98% of bots can’t make an application without using obvious phrases like “I’d like to engage in meaningful discussions”.

Registration applications (which are pretty much required on all lemmy servers now) have stopped about 95% of them. Some still get through of course, but the admins of every server are doing hard work to prevent it.

The other 5% are quickly discovered and reported, and they can be banned (and their content removed), at the click of a button.

The LLMs are getting creative with how they answer, and people also are applying with half of the responses LLM based, and half real. But its still not hard to spot them when they give all the same predictable answers.

Its interesting because applications are how the old forum-internet used to keep out bots and trolls, and its still the best method to this day. There’s still work to be done, and it’s a never-ending battle, but I think overall we’re winning and doing better than western surveillance platforms like reddit, youtube, or facebook.

Minimo launcher is great.

ScreenZen, with specific times ranges allowed to use given apps.

This to me is the most exciting thing. And not just solar, but also modular nuclear power, fusion power, battery tech. The PRC is at the forefront of this green revolution.

The bot account setting helps ppl filter out bot content, so I’d just make a separate account for your comments / non-script activity.

Dang, never heard this one before but its believable. MJ did put his all into baseball tho, his managers and teammates were convinced he would have made the majors after a year.

Its hard to say, but its probably an issue with nginx proxy mananger, doing some wrong routing on images. I couldn’t even access the images above.

This thread from a few months ago on hexbear has a ton of good ones.

Check your languages, and make sure you have Undetermined selected. Otherwise you’ll filter out most posts.

I’ve read this one as well. It’s not bad, but the three comrades, along with all quiet, are both masterpieces.

Noice. I hope to get this sometime.

There’s a few good chapters on “self-indigenization” in Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz - Not a nation of immigrants.

You won’t be able to do this then. You’d need to learn your way around linux, servers, ssh, etc to be able to run these services.

If you run any services (jellyfin / a media server, torrents, document storage, etc), have them run on it.

Was summoned once, and ended up on the jury. It was a really sad case where the cops were trying to put an 80-something year old former convict back in prison, because his son in law had a gun in the house (that they searched because of something the son in law did, but no charges were brought against him), and that was a violation of the 80-year-old’s release conditions from like 40 years ago.

I really wanted to end up on the jury in order to keep this guy out of prison, which luckily we did. The defense was very smart in making his case sympathetic, even though legally the guy had no leg to stand on. There were a few jurors that wanted to imprison him, but we finally got them to go with the majority to ignore the law and keep him out of prison.

The easy rule of thumb if you do/don’t want to be on the jury: the less you talk, the more likely you are to end up on the jury. The more annoying you are, especially talking about how busy you are, or asking a lot of pointless questions: the less likely you are to end up on the jury.
