Nice!

Does it still federate with that enabled? Last I checked, enabling private instance in Lemmy also disabled federation.

If it covers the same talking points, why not post it instead of destroying this community’s credibility with this rag?

Giving a garbo source the benefit of the doubt on an article-by-article basis just muddies the waters and gives an air of undeserved legitimacy to other things they publish.

Credibility and trust are built over time; throwing out a “look, THIS article is okay” every so often does not make them a credible source.

If the facts are solid, then there should be at least one other reputable source reporting on them. If only a sensationalist rag is covering it, maybe ask why that is.

I notice you aren’t disputing the facts here, just the source.

This is the same argument I’ve seen used by people trying to legitimize Fox News and RT, BTW.

Ok, let’s flip that around then. Does this make it any better?

Overall, we rate Mondoweiss as Left Biased and Questionable due to the blending of opinion with news, the promotion of pro-zionist and anti-Palestinian propaganda, occasional reliance on poor sources, and hate group designation by third-party pro-Palestinian advocates.

Trick question: it does not. Reputable outlets do not put their thumb on the scale in either direction. Just because you agree with their bias does not make them credible.

It’s not what you’re posting but where you’re posting it from and their track record. Post it from a less biased, less sensationalized, more reputable source and I would guess those complaints will largely go away.

Nobody complains when I post one of thousands of fact checks

Those have all been from credible sources.

Has anyone ever tested those red hats for lead content?

There was an episode of QI where Stephen was playing with a device where you point its directional microphone at someone, and it plays their voice back with a slight delay making it very difficult for them to speak. The guests had to try to read a children’s book aloud while he pointed it at them. None of them except Alan could do it.

I would like to buy one of those devices lol.

That’s a good point. I’ll have to check the default values, but on my own instance, I have very conservative limits in place, and it hasn’t proven to be an issue (so far?).

Unless it’s changed since I wrote the online docs for Tessreact, the modlog is part of the “Messages” rate limit bucket which is/was something of a catch-all for endpoints that didn’t fit elsewhere. Even in the default config, that bucket is the most permissive due to that.

I’ve been daily-driving my dev version with this feature enabled for a few days, and it hasn’t been an issue so far (it only does a modlog lookup if a comment is removed, so not on every comment in the tree). It’s also per IP, so unless a lot of people are behind the same public IP, I don’t think it’s going to pose an issue. I’d have to double check, but I think the most comments it loads in a batch is close to 100, so unless every comment has been removed, that would be the worst-case number of modlog fetches.

So it looks like I’ll definitely want to make this feature toggleable even if it does end up defaulting to ‘on’.

I did test a few posts with a lot of removed comments (both on my instance and Lemmy World), and the overhead wasn’t terrible since scoping the modlog to just the comment ID is pretty lightweight. Since HTTP/2 is pretty common (which can re-use connections), there’s not overhead of additional TLS handshakes slowing things down.

From a network traffic standpoint, Gzip compressed JSON is pretty negligible in the grand scheme of things.

Put them in the body. I’ll downvote every archive link used the post url because it obfuscates the source.

Yes, those are called “Opinions / Editorials / Letters to the Editor” et al. Both News and WorldNews have rules against opinion articles as well.

Are we? I feel like that’s a pretty necessary “/s” considering the mental gymnastics I’ve heard IRL and on Lemmy. If they edit their comment to add that very necessary qualifier, I’ll happily throw 'em an upvote. As-is, I genuinely have no idea.

And idiotic absolutism is why we’re in this mess.

Good job!

Edit: If you meant the /s on your comment, my bad. There’s just so many insane takes going around, I kind of need that to differentiate.

They nuked their account, but you can get the gist of it here: https://dubvee.org/post/dubvee.org/2659753

Hi, Dot/Joker/000:

You gonna nuke this account and all conversations attached to the posts, too?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Is Xhitter an article? Is this unsubstantiated image?

No and no.

Please familiarize yourself with the rules OP.

Nothing for or against the content, OP, but removing since it violates rule 1 which prohibits political posts.

That’s good news (hopefully). Thanks!

Will keep an eye out, but community is remaining locked until the clarifications are published and deemed acceptable.
