  • They don’t have much power to down multiple places so they targeted one to show off, watch our reaction and see how vulnerabilities get fixed. It’s probably one person or a thread on some chan-board taking offense at LW\Lemmy for some reason, and c/shitposting could be taken by activity\moderators count metrics rather than for having something against it alone. They did damage and locked community, but what’s next? If they are indeed like old boards’ posters, methodically flooding communities one after another doesn’t make sense and gets old really quick if they can’t do something more atrocious, achieve new goal or find another exploit. That’s done already.





  • Subscribing to a multireddit as a community being implemented and promoted as a default experience may solve it. Idk if it should be on Lemmy’s or client’s side, but different communities forming a community-verse that’s subscribable with one tap is, for me, the next stage of fediverse. If they are federated and cache each other, it should be possible to form a united feed. Best case, if you can make just a link combining them into one, so it’s easy to share. It would fulfill this task without multiposting.

    Browsing porn, for once, doesn’t really work for me. On Reddit, I did a multi of things I enjoy to combine them, and switch to it without changing accounts. Now I either browse All-feed of porno instance seeing things I’m not into or go to exact user or community. It’s far from what I enjoyed previously. And autorepost bots don’t help it too.

    IDing and combining posts into one is not fixing the problem, but covering it under a rug. The best case is to eradicate the very need to post the same meme, article or nude into two communities and then ban spammy accs. At least that’s what I wish for.





  • In Chile, the U.S. government tried to pacify the country village by village using the Strategic Hamlet Program, basically creating villages where there was no or little socialist influence.

    They tried more extreme experiments where they completely isolated villages or groups of villages, allowing absolutely nobody to enter or exit for periods of up to four years.

    In some of the villages, people simply starved to death.

    In other, more self sufficient villages, the people managed to scrape by.

    It was noted that in many of the villages where this technique was tried, messianic or millenarian movements sprang up.

    In 16 separate incidences, villages were able to independently invent “flesh interfaces” and “non-electrical portals”, and it was surmised that these villages were being collectively dosed with LSD for long periods of time, and their intellectual mutations allowed for these ‘advances’.

    The flesh interfaces were eventually destroyed by Pinochet’s troops at a terrible cost in lives.
