Don’t !reddit and !reddit already fit this purpose?

And you won’t find pro Reddit people here

Anon518, (edited )

As I said, I did actually see some weird pro-reddit stuff there. WatchRedditDie is also a subreddit with a long history. www.tandfonline.com/doi/…/24701475.2021.1997179

Isn’t it heavily downvoted? Do you have examples?

Anon518, (edited )

Isn’t it heavily downvoted?

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

Anon518,

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.

They are large comparative to Lemmy’s current size

Anon518,

Also, isn’t that against the whole notion of Lemmy? To spread things out and avoid concentration?

Blaze,
@Blaze@discuss.online avatar

There’s a balance to be found between avoiding concentration and spreading too thin. There are multiple gaming communities, there’s only one for Legos

I could’ve sworn this already existed

Anon518,

It did on reddit (r/watchredditdie) and the admins shut it down. Snoopocalyse existed on lemmy, but went into archive mode.

@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

Don’t a lot of scammers spoof their numbers?

Cqrd,

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.

Rocketpoweredgorilla,
@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

Ah ok, that makes sense… trying to build up trust I suppose.

A_Very_Big_Fan,

One of the main goals of scam baiting is getting a number to call them back on. But yes

RedditRefugee69, in Scam Numbers - Reddit's (and possibly the internet's) largest scam number depository, now on Lemmy!

Can someone explain to me how to use this data to block calls?

nilloc,

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?

RedditRefugee69,

All my scam calls come from numbers in my area code or close by

tkk13909, (edited ) in Scam Numbers - Reddit's (and possibly the internet's) largest scam number depository, now on Lemmy!

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.

DripGeronimo,

I’ve switched instances from lemmy.world to lemmy.zip as .world was very slow with updating their server

ZeroCool, (edited )

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!

Blaze,
@Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Well done, good luck with your community!

Blaze,
@Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

lemmy.zip is a tech oriented instance. They have !technology and !databreaches which are quite interesting

Levsgetso,

Saw you recently created an account here. You truly are everywhere lol

Blaze,
@Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Yes, I’m trying to promote that instance a bit, the admins put a lot of work into it

Levsgetso,

They really are amazing. Glad to have you with us 😊

Great writeup and easy to understand. What would be a solution to this problem?

418teapot, (edited )

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:

github.com∕foo∕bar∕baz@example.com/foo/…/baz.zip

Or even use a subdomain to remove the @:

github.com∕foo∕bar∕baz.example.com/foo/…/baz.zip

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.

tkk13909,

Exactly

So did they deliver on the promise of press ganging my Pokemon to work in a guns factory? Because if they did I’ll go buy it right now.

danciestlobster, (edited )

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

Tikiporch,

Plus, there’s poaching endangered creatures.

Flax_vert,

Favourite text editor. Wouldn’t change it for the world.

@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Is there even a Song of Ice and Fire community?

Levsgetso, (edited )

There’s !asoiaf but it’s somewhat inactive

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

That’s about to change any day now, as soon as Winds of Winter is released. Any day now.

Awww look he still believes

Levsgetso,

Well, there’s nothing wrong with having hope lol.

But as someone who just started reading the books, it’s a bit frustrating starting something I may not be able to ever finish.

Oneeightnine,
@Oneeightnine@feddit.uk avatar

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!

Levsgetso,

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!

Blaze,
@Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

450 subscribers, a decent basis

Xer0,

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.)

maegul,
@maegul@lemmy.ml avatar

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.

@i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk avatar

There’s an open source Linux reimplementation called Notepad Next.

Aurix,

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.

Not very reassuring.

i_am_not_a_robot,
@i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk avatar

Yeah, it’s early days.

SubArcticTundra, (edited )
@SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml avatar

My favourite replacements are SciTE, Mousepad, JuffEd, and Geany

Edit: Take your pick!

Aurix,

JuffEd looks from the screenshots as the closest one.

SubArcticTundra, (edited )
@SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml avatar

Yeah. It even runs on Windows too

const_void,

I’m always for more software but Linux has editors locked down pretty well already :)

Too bad no one seems to agree as to what qualifies as neurodivergence.

haui_lemmy,

I dont think thats a large issue for us. Neurologically different is precise enough.

wjs018,

Thank you!

non elitist

The second post is literally “what’s your super power”.

Hilarious. Just joined

haui_lemmy,

No idea if you‘re serious but in case you are: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elitism

My post is about a metaphorical superpower, not some perceived advantage over others.

Joined! Linguistics has been a (lately slightly neglected) passion of mine for quite a while!

lvxferre,
@lvxferre@mander.xyz avatar

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.
