It’s times like these I can kinda understand why pillories have been a thing.
"Lost"
I fully expect this kind of answer from the garbage heap that google has become.
I have a few ground-nesting bees buddies in the yard.
They're chill and I see them pollinating my garden now and then.
They're now part of the family and I'll knock some sense in any guest who tries to harm them.
I use different things for different edges.
Most of my hard working tools end up with a convex edge, I like them better for chopping stuff like wood and asklemmy posters bones and its good durability doing so.
So that's either automotive sandpaper in various grits, or 3M's paperless abrasive sheets (easier on curvy stuff). Slap a thin foam sheet or two on your work surface, choose your paper grit, work it, change to a figer grit, repeat until happy.
What I like about those is they're huge and easily replaced. I've done flat edges with them too by simply not using the foam.
For more traditional flat edges, I've mostly been using a pair of DMT's dual sided butterfly thingies, so that's indeed 4 different grits. That's what I use because that's what I got ages ago and got used to them. They're ok. Nothing amazing, but it works and it's small enough to sit in the kitchen drawer.
I also have a fancy kit that clamps on the blade with a metal arm that keep the tiny stone a the same angle and whatnot but it's kinda annoying to setup.
It's probably more consistent than anything I do by hand, but I never bother using it because it's clunky.
In the end, whatever you actually use is gonna be better than anything that sits in storage.
Nevermind, I thought there was a straw in their mouth on panel 2 but there isn't. Carry on.
If you come to me with 2 juice boxes and offer me one while drinking from one of them... I would fully expect to get to non-drank-from one instead the one you just sipped on.
I have a couple of friends and family members who i think are probably here, but we don’t talk about it.
This. Same as it was on reddit back then too.
If I got any writing done, the characters would be productive and actually finish writing stories instead of procrastinating like me.
Right, while it technically has a user-level solution, you're right that a brand new user would simply not know about any of this.
I stumble upon a few now and then when they try and report stuff from there.
So... something like autoblocking the instance on user creation... which might make more sense than outright defederation. A bot could probably be made to do that and send them a DM with instructions on how to change it off they so wish.
Thanks for your input
I don't know anything about this person, but as recent reddit expats, I thought y'all might wanna know you can edit post titles in lemmy to fix typos and whatnot.
Others have provided a few of them and anything you choose is fine.
All I wanna add is how functional it is in just a browser.
Reddit was absolutely insufferable on mobile, but lemmy is different.
The mobile website is fine and I love having multiple tabs a bunch of features that are just basic web browser functionality again like multiple tabs, adblocker, favorites, etc.
There's even a few different web front-ends, here's the ones available on lemmy.ca:
- Mlmym interface at old.lemmy.ca
- Voyager interface at voyager.lemmy.ca
- Photon interface at photon.lemmy.ca
- Alexandrite interface at alex.lemmy.ca
IMHO, some of their communities are sketchy, but as long as it's contained in their communities, that's easily manageable with just the user-level instance block feature.
This is just the community in which we have discussions and votes about how to manage this instance.
There's even a few users from June 5th.
Ah yea, the "you missed the first 20 minutes window of this post so your comment will be lost into the void".
Don't miss it one bit.
I can always just... not browse there though.
No scrolling, no ad, no engagement.
It's my little ritual, just in case there's ever an alternate ending where you rid the world of the amulet instead.
Toss it in the pits/volcano kinda vibe.
What useless stuff do you try on your runs?

As some of you may have noticed, there's an instance with 1.1M bots reposting reddit posts and comments accross communities in several other instances.
I expect there are multiple valid opinions on the subject and this thread is meant to get a feeling of everyone's opinion on the situation.
You might also want to read lemmy.ca's discussion on that here which is a pretty decent thread about the subject.
Things that I think need to be pointed out:
- alien.top currently has 1.1M bots, only 6 of those are weekly users logging in.
- together they've made 1.59M comments accross a multitude of communities in other instances.
- That project claims to be trying to get reddit users to switch to lemmy.
- They have a portal to allow reddit users to claim and take over their bot persona.
- alien.top has a single local community, the bots all post on different instances with copies of different subreddits.
I don't have an exhaustive list of such communities, I haven't found an official one. I'll post a fewfrom my personal blocklist in a comment below.
And a note on the upcoming 0.19 release:
- the new user-level instance block feature will block all the communities of the blocked instances, but will not block these users' posts or comments if they are done on another instance's community.
My opinion isn't any more valid then anyone else's so I'll put it in a comment below.
Our users' input is welcomed.
What do you, dear users of sh.itjust.works, think about federation with them?
Thanks

Comme certains d'entre vous l'ont peut-être remarqué, il y a une instance peuplée de 1,1M de bots qui copient ees posts et commentaires Reddit dans plein de communautés sur plusieurs autres instances.
Il y a plusieurs opinions sur le sujet et ce fil de discussion vise à prendre le pouls de l'opinion générale sur la situation.
Je vous suggères de lire la discussion chez lemmy.ca à ce sujet ici, discussion intéressante.
Quelques points qui, selon moi, doivent être soulignés :
- alien.top compte actuellement 1,1 million de robots, dont seulement 6 sont des utilisateurs hebdomadaires qui se login.
- collectivement, ils ont déjà fait 1,59 million de commentaires dans une multitude de communautés dans différentes instances.
- Ce projet proclame essayer de convertir des utilisateurs de Reddit à passer à Lemmy.
- Il existe un portail pour permettre aux utilisateurs de Reddit de prendre contrôle de leur version bot.
- alien.top a une seule communauté locale, les bots publient tous sur différentes instances, des copies de différents subreddits.
Je n'ai pas de liste exhaustive de ces communautés, à première vue, je n'en trouve pas une liste officielle. Je mettrai dans un commentaire ci-dessous quelques communautés que j'ai bloqué au niveau personnel.
Pour finir, une note sur la version 0.19 de lemmy qui s'en vient :
- La nouvelle fonctionnalité pour bloquer une instance au niveau d'un uutilisateur bloquera toutes les communautés d'une instance bloquée, mais ne bloquera pas les publications ou les commentaires de ces utilisateurs s'ils sont publiés dans une communauté d'une autre instance.
Mon opinion n'est pas meilleur qu'une autre et je mettrai plutôt dans un commentaire ci-bas.
Les commentaires de nos utilisateurs sont les bienvenus.
Que pensez-vous, cher utilisateurs de sh.itjust.works de la fédération avec eux?
Merci

Des ajouts ont récemment été faits à la liste d'instances bloquées.
Comme celles-ci étaient des instances connues pour héberger du contenu illégal, incluant des communautés pedo, loli, etc. elles ont été bloquées sans discussion préalable dans l'!agora@sh.itjust.works.
Vous pouvez consulter à tout moment la liste d'instances bloquées au bas de cette [page]

We've recently added a few instances to the block list.
We usually made a discussion and vote in !agora@sh.itjust.works, but this latest batch was a bunch of instances confirmed to be hosting CSAM, CP, pedo and/or loli content. Since these are illegal, they've been removed without Agora threads.
At any time, you can see the current list of blocked instances here, all the way down in the Blocked Instances section.
Thanks

In the late 1980s, there were near a million new cases of guinea worm disease recorded worldwide. In 2021, there were only 15. How was this achieved?

Comme certains ont pu constaté, il y a eu beaucoup de spam de contenu gore ce matin a travers une panoplie de communautés.
L'utilisateur en question a été banni localement et leur contenu effacé. Ils ne sont pas encore bannis sur leur instance mère, mais vous ne devriez plus tomber dessus tant que vous naviguez avec votre compte sh.itjust.works.
Désolé pour ceux qui ont eu à subir cette merde et merci à tous ceux qui l'ont signalé. N'hésitez pas à signaler ce genre de chose quand ça arrive, soit via le petit drapeau (report), ou sur le chat matrix.
Pour balancer le gore, voici un chat qui dort:
Miaou
English message:
As some of you may have had the displeasure to see, there was a user spamming links to gore content earlier today accross several unrelated communities.
They've since been banned locally and their content removed. While they have yet to be banned on their home instance, you shouldn't be exposed to their content as long as you browse from here your sh.itjust.works account.
Thanks to everyone for reporting it, feel free to reach out either through the flag report icon or the matrix chat whenever something like that happens again.
Here's a cat to balance out the gore:

In a monumental achievement, Bangladesh has become the first country in the world to be officially validated for having eliminated visceral leishmaniasis, commonly known as kala-azar, as a public health problem.
Kala-azar is a deadly parasitic disease that's also known as Black Fever, or Visceral leishmaniasis. It is the second most deadly parasitic disease (after malaria).
Hey there, This post is to let you know that @kersploosh@sh.itjust.works and myself have recently been appointed as admins here by @TheDude@sh.itjust.works to help them and @imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works with moderation.
We've been meaning to introduce ourselves for a while, but hadn't taken the time just yet, here it is.
I'll be posting more about me as a comment below because this is getting long already.

Bonjour,
@TheDude nous a récemment ajouté, @kersploosh et moi comme admins dans le but d'aider l'équipe (@TheDude et @imaqtpie) avec la modération du site.
Ça fait un moment que nous voulions faire ce post pour s'introduire, alors voilà.
Je vais écrire un peu plus d'info à mon sujet dans un commentaire ci-bas.
Some of what I've got painted so far. I think I've painted a bit more since that picture though. Pretty fun game too.
Testing hotlinking the image instead of the main page.

Just stumbled upon this place while browsing /all and I also happen to have written some lines just yesterday, for the first time in years. Some coïncidence.
I was inspired by a really nice photo in !raining@sh.itjust.works shared by @lewosadebu and I wasn't even writing verses at first but it kinda became something half-way through.
Don't get too excited, the lines aren't that great but the photo is nice to look at. Peace
