That bot is one of the few users I've had to block. I'm happy to sift through 'organic' posts that don't interest me, but when it's just reposting Reddit posts and losing the benefit of the discussion under that post, it kinda sucks
It's runs really well, actually. I don't have any solid numbers because I wasn't really into that side of it, but I had a fairly large base going, about 20 hours past endgame (no where near a megabase, though) and no performance issues.
I'm still mostly playing TOTK. I completed the main story earlier this week, and normally that would kind of trigger a switch in my brain to lose all interest in side quests, but somehow it's managed to keep me interested.
The direct reminded me that I have barely started Mario + Rabbids Kindgom Battle, so been playing that a bit too.
Then to wind down I've been getting closer and closer to completing the all the normal Picross puzzles in Picross S2
Maybe this is what's implied or I'm just being silly; What is to stop a bad actor spinning up a Lemmy instance, creating a bunch of bot accounts with no restrictions, and spamming other instances? Would the only route of action be for the non spam instances to individually defederate the spam ones? Seems like that would be a bit of a cat and mouse situation. I'm not too familiar with the inner workings and tools that Lemmy has that would be useful in this situation
Jerboa has some problems it needs to polish (although a lot of issues I have look like they've been resolved in PR's on the github page, ready for next release) but as an open source app for a previously tiny userbase, it does the job. Would switch over to Sync in a heartbeat though, if as you say, he's quick.
I think new communities are extremely heavy weighted in the trending section. I've not looked at the algorithm for it, but the 2 communities I made were on there immediately after creating them.
But the bugs are an essential part of any Bethesda game
I use Ecosia. Supposedly I've done enough searches for 241 trees to be planted, and I've yet to see anything that suggests they dont follow through with the promise to fund the planting of trees (although I've not actively looked). I think it's backed by bing so the results are a bit iffy sometimes, but I use the equivalent of ddg bangs to search Google if I need
Low latency (edit: I should probably elaborate given the community I'm in - when looking for wireless headsets specifically for use while gaming, it's an easy way to know that what I'm getting is going to be low latency, and likely come with a specific receiver for that)
