Come on, they’re just people too with common people problems. Cut them some slack.

You’d think someone with the foresight to make a freaking logo for their bot (that looks like a robot) could tick a box that says “I’m a bot.” :)
You guys got potato chips?
Fuck you Winnipeg!
It’s closer to reality but the thought experiment sucks because anyone can see there’s virtually zero chance of completing a single round. :(
I actually wrote it with the flip side of your centralization argument in mind. If a community exists outside of the popular ones a user may never even know of its existence. Having more show up SHOULD be better to prevent centralization no? It requires the users to change their browsing behaviour but at least they don’t have gonsearching offsite.
The weird rage people have about this. I'm not sure where it comes from. If there are 100 communities, only the top 1-5 will contribute 90% of the content. If you have even one user subscribed to the top 20 or 50 communities, you are already likely getting 90%+ of this traffic. After subscribing to literally every community in the lemmyverse, I promise your instance will not see any meaningful increase. I'm willing to be proven wrong, but not one of the ragers has offered a credible reason other than fears based on misunderstanding. No offense.
Yup. 256 GB should be enough database space for anyone though.
So just refreshing the page one time after login fixes it? It could be something to be fixed in the code, but there might be a way to fix it with a browser-side script in the meantime.
In Germany they pronounce it VasMan.
IMO, likes need to be handled with supreme prejudice by the Lemmy software. A lot of thought needs to go into this. There are so many cases where the software could reject a likely fake like that would have near zero chance of rejecting valid likes. Putting this policing on instance admins is a recipe for failure.
