No not really, because of my stance against .ml, my detractors/their defenders will show up from time to time no matter what account I use, take this one for example, it’s one of my oldest alts with extensive posting and comments so anyone who wanted to block it would have by now.

Though it really isn’t that often, I think I’m going about a week or more before encountering another comment about me “being a bot”/CIA op

Summer Camp Island, The Library

Some say this has already happened.

A dozen, a hundred it’s impossible to tell

Well you’re no fun, but ig it does bring up…what IS the question?

The question of…

I doubt it’s PF, I think PF exposes and tracks the same amount of comm info that Lemmy does, but it’s the Lemmy-verse software itself that’s behind

The bot pulls it’s source data down from lemmyverse from https://data.lemmyverse.net/ and it looks like it makes the mbin dataset available but the piefed dataset is missing, but i’m not sure it would help much anyways. From the website, PF’s and MBins data seems to be a lot less comprehensive compared to Lemmy’s, just tracking Posts/Comments and Subscribers

Me too man lmao fuck ADs

Holy shit, an ad every 2-3 articles‽ thankfully they’re just empty voids for me, but got dam that’s worse than reddits ad rate on scrolling

Most of the tech news places have been clean for me for awhile, that’s why I’m genuinely confused for a second when people say that it’s ad-infested 😅

I forgot The New Stack though was one that was getting a few through, now it’s clean again

• stuff.co.nz

Squeaky clean trash articles lol

Loads perfectly clean for me, no redirects (and on mobile), though disqus is broken, but probably nothing of value lost there lmao

I knew I should have put a “and don’t say Google” line at the end lmfao

1. If block evasion was my goal, I’d just randomize each account name, it’d be far more efficient

2. This is an old account

3. Hm yes how horrible, 2-3 clicks and a mere second to add an account to your block. The horror.

There is no “one community” in the traditional sense, in fact many of us are boycotting contributions to their actual community/instance .ml

By contributing activity to comms on other instances and advocating growth on other instances and even advocating alternatives like PieFed, actually dilutes their influence

Maybe not, but they still push authoritarianism and simp for authoritarian regimes like Russia

Anything to protect their profits “spirit”

Duplicate question, this was answered here [15 years ago, outdated and completely different stack] closing

But seriously neat though lol

What why? What happened??

I had concluded they were trying to run things professionally and balanced, some of their…“quirky”…decisions I could overlook as growing pains and just problems that come from running something so large.

Absolute shit behavior, I expected better out of them. Throwing a grenade into the laps of your top mods to deal with is so so low.

I will be abandoning .world myself, I have already stopped posting from my .world account and will be recreating any comms I come across that don’t have an off-world/off-ml alternative

Um where is “Fediverse knowledge”? I feel like that would be a large portion LMAO
