  • It’s worded confusingly. Let me see if I’m correct here:

    If people prevent something being used by tons of other people for no good reason

    This is not in reference to the lemmy.world users being prevented from using the instance, but instead is about the possible motivation of said attack

    then this would be a very good one to “hold a grudge” against them for.

    Continuing on to say that you could understand how a person could hold a grudge over a perceived slight

    The way you worded it make it sound like you mean lemmy.world users should hold a grudge against the attackers for preventing them from using lemmy.world, which is why people are confused. It might have been better to say like “The attackers are probably retaliating for being banned or something”




  • It’s easy for really old posts to get necro’d in Active sort. Not necessarily a bad thing, but if you use the “feed” to keep up with the latest then it’ll cloud your listings a bit. A lot of people don’t look at the post date right away (especially those of us from alien site since we’re still operating on old habits).

    Hot also had a bug that pushed old posts up, IIRC? Maybe i’m thinking of Active; I can’t remember off the top of my head as I type this. Anyway I think Active is based on recent comment activity and Hot is based on recent voting activity. Nothing wrong with either, but I am honestly appreciating the “Top X hours” methods to keep up with recent news and events and to keep things fresh.

    We’re still in the “oh shit activity has increased by a factor of a thousand, we need to make the database not crash” phase of development of Lemmy (and kbin) so I’d expect that eventually the feed sorts will be looked at and tweaked. Just needs a bit of attention to get what you are looking for at the moment.





  • EDIT: oh you said “sploof” so I glanced over it. Seems the term “spoof” (as in to fake) has been telephone’d by stoners over the last 20 years because I’ve never heard “sploof” in my life. Sounds like some Rick & Morty shit.

    Original post: Build a spoof, homie.

    Take a plastic coke bottle, poke holes in the bottom about 1/8” across, in each of the feet

    Stuff that bitch fulla dryer sheets

    Blow your hits through it

    Now it smells like you used fabreeze for bong water but at least it’s not blatant
