If the spider is in your home without consent I support trapping it and kicking it out.

If the spider or mosquito is trying to bite you, then I support your self defense actions much like if a human was trying to bite your arm you’d be in the right to use force.

The community may be of interest to non-diehard fans but did you ever consider that you are of no interest to the community?

I agree with your point that it’s possible but not applicable to 99.9% of people

Replace cow with human and see if it passes the test.

Is it ethical to give a human a scarf? Yes. Well it’s also ethical to give a cow a scarf.

Is it ethical to shoot a human in the head? No? Well it’s also unethical to shoot a cow in the head.

Two things.

1 - It’s the backyard chicken problem. Yes your mom doesn’t harm them, but when producing at scale people care less about not harming them

2 - Replacing their honey with sugar is not good because it lacks the vitamins and nutrients that honey has. It’s very possible that you don’t take all the honey so they are never harmed by the actions, but when farming at scale people will absolutely push the limit.

This was an exploit in lemmy software and affected multiple instances though

Yup that’s why I still buy clothes from sweatshops with kids working in them.

In all seriousness you’re right, but I believe people have a much lower tolerance than they think they do, but they just avoid thinking about it

Cows don’t photosynthesize they eat a shit ton of plants to make a tiny amount of meat so if you really care about plants you would eat the plants directly and skip the middlemen that waste 90% of the plant matter

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, Enshittify

What if the web of trust is calculated with upvotes and downvotes? We already trust server admins to store those.

Small instances are cheap, so we need a way to prevent 100 bot instances running on the same server from gaming this too

and then when your main instance shuts down you can’t log into any again. So what’s the benefit asides from bypassing defederation? (And this wouldn’t even be a benefit, because instances defederate because they don’t like the users, so if you let people log in with oauth from a hated instance then you’d also get defederated

Have you considered hiring a project manager? I think having someone keep track of higher level goals and handle the coordination with other key stakeholders would really let you focus on finishing the right epics which would really knock your KPIs out of the park

I’ve never seen an ad on the youtube app, it’s just a bug. ___

Yes. I use a service so I pay for the service. I use software frameworks so I donate to their patreons.

Yes but my point is that 6 pages of PRs were created within 10 days of the repo being launched which was accomplished by chucking a lot of bodies at the project.

Oh good to know!

They probably could use more manpower to some extent but we’re all forgetting The Mythical Man-Month; just chucking more bodies at a software project doesn’t necessarily speed it up any more than nine women can have a baby in one month.

Sure, but look at the rapid progress llama.cpp made in the past 3 months, especially in the 1-2 weeks after its launch

btw, my instance just linked to this community so I don’t see your comment (which is why this is a root level comment)

Lemmy in the last few days is absolutely tiny compared to a site like reddit, and already instances are struggling to cope.

While this is true, 5 days ago lemmy.ml, the biggest instance, was on a 67 EUR server which is very small. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36270094

Posts like this: https://lemm.ee/post/58472 suggest it is a problem

This is a scaling problem (having more users means you need more mods) but I disagree with how they handled it and it isn’t a money related thing. My thoughts on this are in an older post when this was first announced https://partizle.com/comment/64178

Why should a handful of “lucky” servers have to pay all the hosting costs?

My initial idea is to use the something awful model of paying a one time fee to register an acount. The problem is that people would just sign up on another instance that doesn’t charge a fee but still add load to the lucky instance. Another approach could be to participate in communities on one of those lucky servers then you need to pay a one time fee to that server (comments would need to be removed by a bot if they’re not made by an approved user). I’m not saying that’s perfect, but it’s an idea. Adsense is another idea.

Here’s an idea: in apollo you swipe left on a comment to collapse the current commet’s thread, this would be nice too.
