Speaking of removed communities, can an admin respond to this please: https://lemmy.world/post/3165787

No step

Hysterical spelling aside for a bit…

Deprogramming one cult with another seems counterproductive.

Shrooms are becoming decriminalized and even legalized across the US now. It’s a shame that the admins banned the community at all on lemmy.world. By their logic, they should also ban marijuana related communities. ItS sTiLl iLleGal!!!

Psilocybin is a very interesting and useful chemical and it is just stupid for it to be censored. What do those admins wish to accomplish? Shhhhhhh! Don’t talk about something that may help with mental disorders or even PTSD. Mushroom bad!

Of all the good things that lemmy.world admins do, this is ranks as one of the dumbest and short sighted.

I will probably start COShroomGrowers. It’s not illegal here and their argument becomes moot.

I have a remarkable connection to reality when I eat mushrooms, it seems. I can just point my brain in a direction and it will go as far as I let it. For me, and I don’t know what to call it, I have an interesting “reality bubble” that I can “stay in” if I desire. It’s a part of my brain that knows that everything I am seeing is not real and where I can make somewhat decent choices if I need. I have a tripping inner dialogue as well as a “normal” internal dialogue that keeps me sane. It’s… Interesting.

If I have a task to do, like drawing something or working in CAD, it will keep my brain somewhat focused albeit with a ton of added flair.

And no, I can’t control all of my thoughts but those still remain somewhat superficial and are not really that intrusive. However, letting my mind go free and letting me think about things from a different perspective is probably the primary reason I trip. My personal mental barriers that I have put up over the years are needing to be torn away so I can become the good person I strive to be and deal with some aspects of my past in a somewhat healthy way. I have no fear of a “bad trip” as I view it as an aspect of my life and personality that needs further exploration.

I should note that I have a very high tolerance and psilocybin is a perfect match for my personality type and brain chemistry. (Weed, for example, gets me super paranoid and is not for me.) I can easily eat 5-10 grams just to get me started and have eaten as much as 20 grams throughout an evening.

Short term memory loss is a thing as well. I can completely forget what it was a wanted to think about, but after a bit, I can usually get focused on something. What usually happens is that my brain figures out the solution to the problem I wanted to think about extremely fast so there is not much to ponder on. :P

These are questions you should ponder after a nice healthy dose of psilocybin. You can be just about anywhere you want to be and pick what works for you.

I am not seeing the rest of your body in that selfie. Can you just hop in and out of your meat-suit when you want? Cool party trick, but I wouldn’t go it any kids birthday parties.

I am guessing you are part Dalek, so that is also cool.

Once the service stops using Twitter, it could be considered a full “switch” I suppose.

Rate limiting only goes so far. 10 requests for a 1 second operation is the same thing as 1 request for a 10 second operation. Any CDN, like CloudFlare, can’t do too much about web requests that are super taxing on the database.

The bot nets that are doing this can be worse than a hydra. If you block one bot, several more pop up to take over where the other left off. Even worse, the requests that the bots are making are legitimate. If you start throttling the specific requests that are too taxing, you are likely going to cause issues for legitimate users that need the same data.

Additionally, the number of NAT’ed egress IP addresses are much higher than you might think. Blocking just one IP address could mean that you are blocking thousands of users behind that address.

Sometimes, the best option is to absorb the traffic and ensure that your application is running extremely efficiently.

This is a complex problem, for sure.

Half of Congress just dog whistles to their fanbase to do shit like we see in this exact post. With a couple of notable exceptions, they are generally not dumb enough to make direct threats themselves. (I think Cawthorn directly told a group of pro-Turnip supporters to make threats and such.)

Creditable treats. Nom!

I think there should be an option (unless there is) for mods to turn off (or hide) voting as needed. That might be an effective way to cancel any downvote brigades. Lemmy really doesn’t have the population for mass vote manipulation now, but it will soon enough.

Hiding all votes can also help mitigate some superficial bias, but not all. I believe that if a person sees a comment with a few dozen downvotes first, they tend not to read the post objectively. After being on Reddit for such a long time (12 years or so), I found that it was super easy to manipulate voting trends if I caught a post or comment at just the right time.

Hiding only downvotes is just silly though. Some register of public opinion, positive or negative, still has its uses, IMHO.

The title summarized it much better. However, you are still a good bot.

Yep! The developer of Connect for Lemmy is getting caffeinated on a regular basis by me. It’s a perfect fit for the RIF gap in my heart. ;)

He/She(?) is doing an awesome job and it’s amazing how far this app has come in just a few short weeks. I am trying to keep the dev motivated as much as possible, for sure!

My only gripe is that it’s not open source, but that is OK.

It is best paired with this: https://hackertyper.net/

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
