It’s a user that has posted/commented within the last 30 days, and it’s the best metric for measuring the activity of an instance

Yeah the moderation on .ml is insane, users are better off letting them fester in their toxic little bubble.
They’re falling behind in MAUs, slowly but surely. It’ll work itself out.

That’s what they do, then users cry about paywalls
It’s lose/lose

Yes, but not really deliberately. I catch the instance ban hammer from their fragile admins so often I never get established in any of their comms

Hide the other user from seeing your posts as well is what they’re going for I think

… it’s just how FPTP works, mathematically. It will always devolve into a two party system, even if by some miracle a third party overtakes the republicans or democrats, we would still end up with two parties. FPTP is fundamentally broken like that.
But voting for people that have no chance of winning just contributes to the worse evil

I’m not going to waste my time by spelling out full academic mathematical proofs for a concept that is fucking obvious if you look at the info provided.
You obviously have no interest/capability of holding a good faith conversation

It’s called Duverger’s law if you’re actually interested in expanding your understanding on the topic and not acting in bad faith.
This isn’t something to be debated, it’s really just how the math of FPTP works out. CGP Gray has a really good video on the topic as well- that’s what the previous commenter linked to. I’d recommend giving it a watch.

 Like, honestly. What a joke of an admin.
This comment was in response to someone expressing regret about joining .ml if I recall correctly Edit: I'm convinced all this guy does is camp out in front of his computer and wait for an excuse to abuse what itty bitty power he has.

Update: so, the responses this far are almost universally that these bots have been blocked by users of the community. There is also a general disinterest in defederating, which is on brand. You guys wanna do a poll or something or? I’d like to lead my thoughts with a quote from the admins regarding bots within lemm.ee: “Bots must not be responsible for the majority of content in any community” There are two entire instances that immediately spring to mind, zerobytes.monster’s b0t user, and lemmit.online. Their content is quite literally 90% bot content with 0 engagement, and they spam constantly. Now here at lemm.ee we generally don’t defend from stuff, that’s actually why I prefer this instance. Yes, you can block the bot users and that solves the problem, but hear me out: These bots ruin the experience on Lemmy for new users. They spam so many posts, attempting to block them from a mobile app will usually crash the app. If you’re a new user coming to Lemm.ee sorting by all, you see tons and tons of empty posts. Zerobytes is particularly egregious because it doesn’t even repost actual content, just thousands and thousands of links to Reddit posts. It’s a spam instance, period, and I feel strongly about this. Lemmit.online isn’t quite as bad, but it’s an entire instance dedicated to spam reposting everything from Reddit. All the posts have zero engagement, and the comment value is gone so everything decent gets buried. Yes there are ways around this on an individual user level, but then you’re creating a context where there’s even less engagement in the vast majority of “new” posts. Anyway, thems my thoughts. Repost bots are stupid, one that drive traffic to Reddit are even worse. Thoughts?
This post is inspired by a conversation I had with another user earlier that, after some reflection, raised an interesting point. When telling a user about Lemmy, trying to bring them into the fold if you will, what would be the best go to link? Think of reddit.com/r/all, but for Lemmy. In theory, any instance will work as long as it has a large enough user base to have people subscribed to other large isntances, but having a solid landing page to point new users towards definitely has some merit. Thoughts?
For whatever reason when I attempt to login on firefox or chrome from my iPhone 11, I get the infinite spinning circle. Anyone else experienced this?
Are we just stuck with browsers for the time being? I mean it works but fuck I miss Apollo already.
