Nature knows how to solve this problem.

You are allowed to discuss piracy. You aren’t allowed to facilitate piracy (I.e. providing links to pirated content). It is illegal in the country where this instance is hosted.

Defederating cuts off the whole instance. They just blocked those three piracy communities as far as I understand.

Remember that lemmy.world has to keep a copy of whatever content appears in a federated community on their servers, making them legally liable for the content. At least they just blocked the community instead of defederating.

A strength and a weakness. The strength, as you say, is being able to move to a different instance. However, the weakness is that Lemmy (the software) requires each instance to keep a copy of every federated post for its users to interact with. This means they have to host (and be legally liable for) data that they can't police beyond blocking the community / instance.

Not really - it isn’t prediction, it is early detection. Interpretive AI (finding and interpreting patterns) is way ahead of generative AI.

We just got the bot promoted to mod, so the timing is off - this happened because the bot got started late. It isn't smart enough to not post the Tailgate thread if the game thread is up. Won't be an issue in the future.

Don’t know what he’s talking about - it sounded like they were all laughing.

I just about fell out of my chair 😆

Like I said - there is a small vocal group who few that Lemmy as a whole should be boycotted due to the developers’ political views.

You will find that very often the scams, advice, self-help, doctrine, etc that draw these populations have one thing in common: if whatever it is doesn't work, it is because you are doing it wrong, not because the guidance is bad. That's why conservatives will defend the tax rates of people who have 5 orders of magnitude more wealth than they do - they believe that it is their own fault they aren't rich, and that anyone can become rich if they just try hard enough. It is why religious conservatives will still attack birth control in the face of their own kids having unwanted pregnancies. It is why natural medicine people will defend their practices even after it sends them to the hospital. They are more willing to believe that they themselves are at fault than the principles they believe in.

The Protestant Work Ethic equated Christian values with material success.

I think having a 300 year life span would tend to select for darker skin and possibly other traits that would better survive 300 years of exposure - enough to distinguish it from any existing ethnicity.

Why would a Kbin user want to speak to you, a Lemmy user?

Some people are excessively sensitive to software developer political views.

Lemmy isn’t Kbin and Kbin isn’t Lemmy. Both are software participants in the fediverse. It is like saying nginx isn’t Apache: of course isn’t, but that doesn’t make them any less web servers.

Got watch the threads at /c/philly_test@fanaticus.social. This link isn't working on lemmy.world, but your instance should be ok. I'm testing the bot using the Texans / Pats game today.

It is a joke. OC said Bernie wasn't stuck in the 50s, and I'm arguing that he's still a 60s hippie. No sense of humor around here.

His mindset is stuck in the 60s, but whether or not that’s a good thing is a different debate.

Grr, federation is broken. I'm going to be testing on that site, so you'll want to sign up over there, or on another instance. Lemmy.world is too unstable (and Cloudflare is doing weird things to some bots) to test here. https://fanaticus.social/c/redball

Sorry, that link should have been this

For anyone stumbling across this thread: discussion of the port of the Redball bot (the one used for most MLB an NFL threads on Reddit) can be found here for the latest news on the bot, and to provide any feedback.).

You'll want to subscribe to this community for the latest news on the bot, and to provide any feedback.

I’ll be shutting up now.

Do you want threads for every game in /c/nfl? It can probably be done, though that's kind of crazy...

WTF is that lineup? Go home Topper, you're drunk.

Yeah, I was able to get it doing this in about an hour: https://fanaticus.social/post/248516

I'll get the rest of it cleaned up and we'll have it running on Saturday to see how it goes.

The code will be up on GitHub as soon as it is working. You can check in on philly_philly@lemmy.world or philly_bot@fanaticus.social if you want to see what progress I'm making. I'm planning to get it working, then run it for the first preseason game. If it doesn't blow up, I'll point you to the code. I can also run the bot for your team (the code supports configuring multiple teams) if you want.

Let me see how fast I can bang it out - I don't see anything that needs to change except swapping API calls. The MLB bot is much more complex than the NFL one, so it should go smoothly.

On your edit, I was using old.lemmy.world which has a very broken inbox - I found your message about the baseball bot, but not NFL. Not sure why it didn't pop up in Memmy...we'll need to find something more reliable.

I ask because we've pretty much finished the Redball bot which does the Baseball threads, and expect the port of the existing NFL bot to go pretty smoothly. Let me know if you want to leverage that instead.

Which bot code are you using? Did you roll your own?

It is fairly common among Catholics. I’ve known some fairly progressive Catholics who are Republicans because abortion. Now, that isn’t to say that a good number haven’t bought into the divisive rhetoric and gone full maga, but that’s not where they started.

It is a wedge issue that has locked a portion of the population who are single issue voters into being Republicans despite literally all their other beliefs. That is basically what all the non-financial planks of the Republican platform have in common.

Call me when you get past the “first step” where Reddit controlled NFTs somehow make communities independent from Reddit.

If the mods can agree on policy, there is absolutely no reason to have two communities. Shut one down and use the other.

Edit: can someone explain to me what the difference between synchronizing two communities and subscribing to a federated community is? I mean, that’s exactly the point of federation.

No, and the difference between Beehw and Lemmy.world is why. Different people have different views about moderation and what is acceptable content.

There are two solutions to the real problem of duplicate content:

1. Multireddit - like functionality for grouping similar content.
2. Making crossposting a reference to the original post, not a copy. Mods would need to be able to block crossposts from specific communities, and remove crossposts to their sub.

That ump was brutal. Just brutal.
