Nope. The anti-reddit stuff was downvoted and pro-reddit stuff upvoted. I dug back into my profile to find the most recent time it happened to me sh.itjust.works/comment/7640949.
Overall I don’t find lemmy very anti-reddit at all. There were a bunch of anti-reddit subreddits of pretty large size that reddit basically shut down. All of them were way more anti-reddit than lemmy is. /r/watchredditdie and /r/declineintocensorship for example. I’m hoping to pull some of those people to lemmy by giving them a new home.
I had a look and those links point to a thread in !asklemmy, which is not !reddit nor !reddit!reddit. Both those communities are pretty much anti-Reddit.
Anyway, feel free to create another one, but be prepared for most of the people to just stick to those two, as they are well established and have large userbases
Yeah I didn’t want to go digging that far back. I wouldn’t say they’re large. They have a few hundred subscribers while the /r/watchredditdie, etc. subs had more than a hundred thousand and were larger alone than the whole of lemmy.
Not the ones that want you to engage over a period of time. A lot of scams, especially for old people, involve long back and forth conversations over days. These are usually very profitable for the scammers, who sort of gain a passive income for doing nothing other than stealing from old people.
I was under the impression that (at least in the US) scammers don’t reveal any real phone numbers with Caller-ID. That they just chose random numbers with your area code and similar exchange digits to try and convince you it’sa let local call (like you drs office or whatever you may be waiting on). Is that not true?
But why is it hosted on a .zip domain? Edit: for clarification, I don’t have anything against having different instances. I’m just wary of anything using the .zip tld.
It’s for the best anyway. It’s better for the health of the fediverse when communities are spread out across a wide array of instances. The consolidation of communities on lemmy.world is not ideal. Good luck with the community!
I hate that Google is exerting even more control on the internet with their TLD, but I don’t really think this attack is made all that much worse with .zip TLD. I can already bury a .com in a long URL and end it in .zip just fine like so:
The truth is most people don’t look much at URLs outside of a domain to verify its authenticity, at which point the .zip TLD does not do much more harm than existing domains do.
For mitigation, Firefox already doesn’t display the username portion of the URL on hover of a link and URL-encodes it if copy-pasted into the url bar. It also displays the punycode representation when hovering or navigating to the second example.
And you can make those chumps work slave hours and literally meat cleave them if they displease you. Theoretically you can be an ethical trainer instead i guess, I wouldn’t know
I’m on my second re-read and whilst I agree it’s a bit frustrating, there’s still so much good stuff to enjoy along the way that I’d recommend sticking with it if you’re enjoying it. You got this!
Oh definitely, I find them very enjoyable to read. Took a short break after the first book, starting A Clash of Kings tomorrow. Thanks for the encouragement!
I didn’t actually look to be honest! I was just looking at some House of the Dragon stuff and thought I’d search and see if I could find a community. Could always rebrand to be a catch all for any ASOIAF stuff, assuming the name of the community can be changed that is. (Not sure.)
assuming the name of the community can be changed that is
It’s just like with user accounts. The alias can be whatever you want but the address is static. Fortunately I’d say “house of the dragon” counts as a decent catch all for a ASOIAF community.
Though the application overall is stable and usable, it should not be considered safe for critically important work. There are numerous bugs and half working implementations. Pull requests are greatly appreciated.
Shhh, just be careful, Linguistics is addictive. And a gateway to even heavier drugs, like constructed languages!
Jokes aside I get the passion. It’s that sort of field of knowledge that, no matter where you look at, you’ll find something beautiful about it.
Sometimes it’s a small etymology that “clicks” on you, or a speaker using some idiosyncratic variation; sometimes it’s pondering how we humans seized the world because we speak, perhaps as instinctively as the spiders weave webs or the cats destroy furniture. There’s room in Linguistics to be creative, or to be rigorous; to look at the past, or to investigate the present.
