Supporter of the art work of James Joyce, "World Wide Wake" as in year 1924 Irish Dublin story "Finnegans Wake"!!!
Joy to you!
I’ve never seen anything in the US more complicit towards fascism and autocracy than the US media.
yes, including social media. People think adopting Donald Trump methods of dehumanizing those you disagree with, Donald Trump Twitter-think and Tweet-length mental attitudes is actually addressing the problem... in reality, it is joining in with the bonfires of goodness. Instead of a "we are under siege mentality" of posting a thread to the top of every social media platform every 6 hours since 2015 when it was clear Donald Trump and Putin wanted to fulfill their "Conservative International 2013" politician aims, people have just mocked and gone along with the total mockery media values of MAGA / Donald Trump Twitter-tweeting thinking.

People are entirely unable to defend and resist absurd comedy, surreal humor, surreal absurd "jokes', they all end up joining in / jumping on the bandwagon with the mocking and mockery.
Neil Postman was correct in 1985: “When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience, and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk; culture-death is a clear possibility.” ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, 1985

Happens here on Lemmy too. Seems like that’s how the Internet of today works
That's why I'm pointing it out: twitter behavior has taken over the White House and all social media platforms.
that's the point, it isn't just Reddit users who mimic Donald Trump.
This is all spelled out in 2014: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2014/12/31/bbcs_adam_curtis_on_the_contradictory_vaudeville_of_post-modern_politics.html
They are all mimicking Surkov governing, Russia.
If it were only Reddit and not the entire American population behaving in LOL LOL LMAO amused at Elon Musk, JD Vance, RFK Jr, Donald Trump. Rudy was removed from this year's stage, but Elon Musk sidekick and his second stage of DOGE performers has done much more to turn the USA into a total joke on the world stage to a population who finds it all so entertaining / amusing.
Everything is Twitter reaction comments in year 2024 and year 2025. Everyone is behaving and mimicking Donald Trump mannerisms and behaviors of Tweet-think, Elon Musk behaviors of Twitter-think. Americans can not resist copying the behavior of White House performers. Status Symbols like JD Vance and Pope together is comedy gold to all the people in USA.
That's why all these people keep going to the top of society / federal government, they have their finger on Internet consumers of junk memes and antics audience laugh-track comedy. A 78 year old Reality TV star is America's great taste in meme-joke Twitter-reaction engagement.
"Redditors can’t resist repeating the same joke on a thread of hundreds of comments over and over again" - compulsive behavior of mocking White House's JD Vance

And now, our education system is simply a hint of a shadow of its former self.
The issue is not under age 18 children in schools. The issue is 78 year old adults and age 71 RFK Jr, etc.
Fox News is the true teacher of society, not school classrooms. That's Neil Postman's point. Elon Musk X is the true place people learn in USA. Not from classrooms, that shit all gets replaced with more entertaining content.

"As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions." In 1984, Orwell added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we fear will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we desire will ruin us.
This book (1985) is about the possibility that Huxley, not Orwell, was right.” ― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, 1985

Clown Population / We The People : couch couch couch chanting got you here
Clown Population. The clowns inside the White House are only a small fraction of a total society of mock for mock, reactionary mocking, clowns. The entire nation is a “basket case of clowning around” on social machines / HDTV media machines / mockery.
People like to play a game of psychological denial and say ONLY MAGA is the clowns, only the White House is the clowns. It’s the entire population of Untied States of America.
What are you doing encouraging no-identity social media Bluesky short-length messages? What are you doing promoting reactionary thinking + anti-intellectualism? What are you doing mimicking Trumpisms?

It's sad that we don't teach the history of symbolism / society media consumption patterns. Multimedia presentation of Fox News is way more televangelism than a dusty old book named The Bible. We just let advertising and marketing media act upon the population and people behave as if there are no side-effects or conflicting influence systems. We could educate everyone on the world-wide patterns of this and the history, but we do not. We behave somehow as if the Middle East / Levant is a role model of people fighting it out over their favorite story patterns.
essentially that is what mythology has been for humanity. Too bad now we just let advertising borrow the techniques without education the population how it works.
It is not even a mistake, it's some pretty mind-fucked up on part of @[email protected] to jump to such a conclusion. crap
I think timestamps of files would be one of the easier things, and try to track back to postings and comments that references the upload... ideally the logged-in account (which is the standard install of lemmy, only logged-in users can upload to pictrs)
Yes. odd how people think sharing CSAM is why people would post here, instead of actually tracking down and prosecuting those sharing CSAM. Details about the users who sharedl CSAM content, such as timestamps - would help identify the offenders for prosecution.
It sounds like you’re encouraging people to share CSAM images found, which is obviously not the intent of this tool.
Yes, that is in fact the context.
Context: "which is obviously not the intent of this tool. "
it is not my intent to share the images, nor is it the context of the tool.. Sharing details about the users, timestamps - would be the obvious context.
Conservatives aim to restructure U.S. government and replace it with Trump's vision
Give me a break! Can people really not connect the dots of a very obvious time-line?
.
Not even getting in the August 24, 2018 announcement by academics that Russia has seeded a pandemic response among the population with the troll army that went online in 2013 (#3 above).
And 2018, and February 22, 2022 ... 2nd invasion of Ukraine response.... https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/8/6/17656996/trump-republican-party-russia-rather-democrat-ohio
As far as I'm concerned, Russia is unstoppable. Nothing has reversed the trend that started over 10 years ago, and people think it is a domestic issue without understanding/learning one fact of how it played out... Oh my God, I'm so Happy!
I hope people share the positive hits of CSAM and see how widespread the problem is...
DRAMTIC EDIT: the records lemmy_safety_local_storage.py identifies, not the images! @[email protected] seems to think it "sounds like" I am ACTIVELY encouraging the spreading of child pornography images... NO! I mean audit files, such as timestamps, the account that uploaded, etc. Once you have the timestamp, the nginx logs from a lemmy server should help identify the IP address.
and avoiding link rot
Lemmy seems built to destroy information, rot links. Unlike Reddit has been for 15 years, when a person deletes their account Lemmy removes all posts and comments, creating a black hole.
Not only are the comments disappeared from the person who deleted their account, all the comments made by other users disappear on those posts and comments.
Right now, a single user just deleting one comment results in the entire branch of comment replies to just disappear.
Installing an instance was done pretty quickly... over 1000 new instances went online in June because of the Reddit API change. But once that instance goes offline, all the communities hosted there are orphaned and no cleanup code really exists to salvage any of it - because the whole system was built around deleting comments and posts - and deleting an instance is pretty much a purging of everything they ever created in the minds of the designers.
yha, what do people think the FBI is for... this isn't crazy. They can get access to ISP logs, VPN provider logs, etc.
CSAM (Child Sexual Assault Material) posts
The federal governments of several nations should be in pursuit of this, and IP addresses and specific time logs shared.
Nothing like a little bit of corporate sabotage!
The software developers who created Lemmy openly criticize systems of government and economics. These are nation-state battlegrounds too. The barrier to entrance is very low, as Lemmy doesn't even do routine tracking of account creation, rate-limiting alone isn't really defensive. 15 years ago sites like Reddit had major vote manipulation detection logic behind the scenes. This is pretty much unleashed playground for a lot of known tactics.
The meme itself is a kind of evidence, regardless of the underlying truth of the claims. Popular actors and what's used in commercials is often run through A/B testing to find out what people react the most to.
Trump as an icon very much was crafted just like this artists story;... he has crossed into the key spotlight point several times in his life. As much as almost anyone in human history. My concern isn't just that people dream of icons like this, but that they can't seem to tell when it is a nightmare and negative - and they are drawn to it. Which Trump isn't a novelty meme or art project.

lemmy.world API for communities list returns a page of results even if no such page exists, behaving different from other version 0.18.3 servers
curl 'https://lemmy.world/api/v3/community/list?type_=Local&sort=Old&limit=1&page=250000&show_nsfw=true'
Returns a result for page 250,000 - and if you edit that number +1 it still returns the same final item in the list. Does this on all the sorts I tried. I am not getting this behavior on lemm.ee or lemmy.ml
With page limit at 50, it ends up returning the final same list of 50 no matter what page number you increment past the final page. This could be causing some front-end apps to endlessly load the list.
the lemmy-ui interface seems to be having the same problem: https://lemmy.world/communities?listingType=Local&page=250001
lemmy.ml is getting nothing new from lemmy.world, seem cut off since Saturday EDIT: fixed on Wednesday
I found one post from 12 hours ago that describes the problem: https://lemmy.ml/post/2650814 - but that's all I've seen. Content is way down on lemmy.ml with nothing coming in from .world
EDIT: seems that lemmy.ml is getting some content delivered to .world, but .world communities seem islands on .ml that only have local new posts/comments.
