it seems we're now blocking hexbear. i haven't been active recently; did something happen about 8 days ago?

EDIT: it wasn't intentional:

Recently I wanted to refer to the general populace of the divisions by zero, but it occurred to me we don't have a good shorthand for it,. I.e. like one talks about "lemmings" or "redditors". We could use something for members of lemmy.dbzer0.com.

Ideas?

You're promoting plagarism and art theft left and right.

I was inspired by the translation of our application form we recently added for Korean so I decided to add a Greek version.

I also decided to maintain a copy on the wiki, for easier updates with history as well. In fact, I added a page to maintain it for each language. If you want to volunteer more languages, go ahead.

I decided to use the informal version of Greek, to make the application less "nameless"and formal. Εαν έχετε ιδέες για διορθώσεις, πείτε.

Hey mateys,

I've been interested in getting rblind into dbzer0 for some time, but after some help by db0, we finally have it!

For those who don't know, rblind is an instance/theme specifically meant for visually impaired people.

To try it out, set the theme in your settings to "Rblind_dark" or "Rblind_light".

Have a great [early] weekend, all of you :p

Hey peeps, the well-known spam problem in lemmy DMs is getting slightly worse, and the spammer in question is evolving their tactics to evade the very rudimentary options we have built-in to lemmy itself (or should I just call it,non-existent?). To get ahead of this, we deployed a DM-scanner directly in the DB, based off of this code but adjusted so that it's more difficult to pull off shenanigans.

At the moment we're only deleting messages based on the "fediverse chick" spam. However I want to point out that if for some reason you legitimately DM someone on dbzer0 with similar terms, you DM might get deleted, so do be aware about that. Them's the breaks.

Unfortunately I can't reveal the exact code I'm using atm, as this can lead to the spammer adjusting their tactics to evade it. However I plan to adjust threativore to also be able to manage your DB anti-DM-spam filters in the future, to make it much easi

In perusing the Lemmy community list, I've noticed several times the dormant !ukraine@lemmy.ca community mentioning a consolidation with !ukraine@feddit.kyiv.ua. As the latter instance has since gone offline, I inquired with the !ukraine@lemmy.ca moderator about switching the consolidation to one of the other two active Ukraine communities.

I was subsequently informed that the change had indeed already been made, but that the version of the community on lemmy.dbzer0.com didn't reflect it. As the updated version is visible on both the original lemmy.ca page, as well as the lemmy.world version of it, is there a reason our version of it is out of date?

Edit: Seems that subscribing to the community to federate it updated it successfully.

Is there any plan to try to fix federation with hexbear.net? Shortly after their domain expired it stopped working, but now that it's back it doesn't seem to have resumed. Does Lemmy even have something in place to fix federation issues when something like this happens?

In maintaining my Lemmy blocklist, I noticed that I was unable to block the thunder@lemmy.world community, despite it seemingly existing if I look for it on lemmy.world directly.

As it doesn't load when accessed via this instance (lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/thunder@lemmy.world), has it been defederated?

I want this to be a discussion. I'm sure everyone has seen this video by now, and I wanted to ask what people think about the prospect of labeling this sort of stuff as NSFW.

My opinion is that this is just AI-generated softcore porn. The "ethics" of making such a video notwithstanding (Stirner save me,) if such a video was posted in the news of say... Tulsi Gabbard kissing Melania Trump's feet, everyone would immediately recognize it as pornography. This instance, being explicitly SFW, should condemn the sharing of this video on the instance and any future videos or images like it. The liberal news media loves promoting shocking images that they can get away with, especially when it has a heavy serving of homophobia on the side, and clearly they are just getting away with spreading images of sofcore porn all over. Fuck them.

I also would like to hear people's opinions

Hey peeps, 2 weeks ago we opened applications to onboard new instance admins. We had a ton of great people applying and just as we were getting ready to decide, I got struck down by the influenza b and completely flattened to my bed. Welp.

Well, no matter, I'm back now and decided to announce the new peeps we're onboarding to the admin team. Initially I was planning to just add one new person, but we got so many strong applications that I felt bad choosing just one.

So without further ado, our new admins are:

• @YarrMatey@lemmy.dbzer0.com
• @fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Both seem to have a history which appears to align well with our values and will provide fresh perspectives and experiences to our admin team. Peeps, feel free to introduce yourselves with as many details, pronouns, and/or fanfare as you prefer.

That out of the way, this brings our admin team to 6 members, which starts getting to the point where's the sheer amount of admins an

Just wanted to share for people who moderate communities that Tesseract lets you see who voted on a post or comment. This means that as moderators you finally have the ability to take action against users who downvote every post in your community or who vote with multiple accounts, or similar situations.

This might not be a new thing but it's something no one is talking about and I just wanted to let you all know its a thing.

It works on this instance: https://t.lemmy.dbzer0.com/

Or at the main Tesseract Frontent: https://tesseract.dubvee.org/

As communities are only federated with this instance when at least one of its users subscribes, new and small communities are at an inherent disadvantage in terms of discoverability. While not a problem unique to this instance, Lemmy Federate is used by several other instances to have a bot temporarily subscribe to communities from federated instances until at least one actual user from the instance subscribes.

Although the federation of additional communities means that users who curate their All feed via extensive community filter lists will have to filter more communities, I think the benefits to the discoverability of communities across Lemmy, promoting their growth in the process, would make it worthwhile.

Obviously reporting transphobic comments to a transphobic mod isn't going to result in any action, so I'm wondering if the admins are going to do anything about it?

The gooners are coming!
