Ahh. I see. I took a look at the script. “Blocked Users,” is not reported by an instance, but rather It’s calculated by this script by looking at “Blocked Instances,” which is reported. How many active users each blocked instance has and then summing this together, the script shows “BU.” I was thinking it was an explicit list of users the instance blocked based on ban/block lists.
It’s a derivative, but still useful metric, I guess. BU could be high, but BI could be low and vice-versa.
This could always change at the whim of an admin as well. It’s good to have admin “teams” and even foundations, but a lot of the time there’s one person making those decisions.
Users and communities could be more portable. Admins should get to decide what is on their instance for sure, but right now there’s kind of a “lock in.” Which give admins disproportional control / responsibility. IMO.
You mean blocked instances right? AFAIK an instances “blocked users” is not published in aggregate. You’d have to comb through the modlog.
More “portable” and secure identities would have been a good feature. The client could have handled most of the crypto required for signing and validating content. As it stands now, the instance Admin has complete control over your identity. Portable communities would follow that easily.
Most of the syncing issues are actually between the large instances or instances that having performance issues.
I think if you link your Lemmy and Reddit accounts it filters out all memes automatically. Tell your friend to try that.
You’ve got something pretty interesting for us don’t you? Let’s take a look. Wow, yes. I think we might have something here. You should be pretty excited about this!
So, I’ve been looking at old memes for most of my career and only come across a few like this.
There were many communities made to capture old memes but only a few were truly popular. The rarity of these communities also plays a huge part in how valuable the memes are to collectors.
I’ve seen a few others in better condition, but collector demand for this item is still very high.
Given the condition of community and the records kept about the origins, at auction: I’d expect this to go for about…
… three to four million doge.

And now the ENTIRE INSTANCE for lululemon, who’s bot posts 1000 times a minute.
That, is actually kind of fascinating and may be important info for someone doing a follow-up investigation. If that was the bad actor phishing for moderation access, why would they need that, when they already had an admin account? If it was legit, then it’s super sus. whoever this app developer was needs to have a little light shone on them.
TBF, at least you’re doing something.
You do you. I would tell my users I have no idea what’s going on, and definitely not say “using your open tabs is probably fine.”
I think this carrying on without providing more information is reckless. Does an actual admin from this instance really know what happened or are you just taking a bunch of random commentary and speculation as gospel then telling the users “we’re good.”
We’ve changed our name to Israel. - The Admins.
True that. If you look at posts on lemmy.world though, it’s clear their users (which is like 50% of Lemmy) have zero clue they’re defederated ATM, and probably many that don’t know it’s compromised.
They are still acting on it, seems.
I didn’t want to say it, because I wanted to believe :(
That’s fair. I shouldn’t have said “replace reddit.”
Resume field would get an api endpoint that only returns a json resume, and only if the request header is application/json. And the json resume would have embedded json.
