Consider this: half the migrants are collecting welfare, and half of them are taking jobs.

I will start working on private communities soon.

Its not merged/deployed yet.

Second attempt, I removed lemmy.world from the blocklist and instead added some code to hide any instances with more than 30% of all active users.

Ah yes Im a liability to Lemmy which wouldnt even exist without my work. Troll harder kiddo.

Not sure, I just got back to work this week and need to catch up with everything.

Big words from someone who posts anonymously, and who never contributed anything positive to the internet.

I just checked out your website, you have a lot of active projects, impressive! I only work on Lemmy, fulltime, but yet there is way too much work.

That’s only one developer, but you were talking in plural. What other Lemmy dev are you referring to?

It seems there are always people on the internet who spread negativity about those who actually create things. Best you can do is ignore them.

I haven’t seen that community before. Some people have way too much time on their hands to keep posting about things they dislike. But at least it proves that censorship on Lemmy is impossible, when not even us developers can do it.

Wait, when have I ever denied any genocide?

Or even some logic to automatically exclude from the list any instance with more than x% of active users.

I posted about this in the admin chat on matrix, but you’re right the pull request was merged very quickly.

The lemmyverse link is also a good idea, but users only see it after filling in their email and password. At that point it’s unlikely that they would cancel it and go to a different website.

Edit: I’m now thinking to change the joinlemmy code so that any instance with more than x% of active users will automatically be hidden.

Right, I didn’t think how it would affect the total active user count. Will have to think of a solution for that.

I mean phone number verification like steam does. It’s only one of many possibilities when you are a major company.

Interesting, I never used digg and didn’t know about it’s history. It seems like they could have easily fought back bots with captchas, email verification, phone verification and so on.

I pay around 80€ per month for the lemmy.ml server, plus a few euros for image hosting and domain. So that’s around 3 cents per active user.
