As fun as it is to dunk on reddit and its moderation, this is definitely exaggerated lol
While you were using the subreddits you were subscribed to, the general default subreddits were always seeing activity like this.
But over time reddit has been attracting a far more general audience of regular people from other social media platforms.
I tried finding information on what indexer they are using. Are they using their own?
Edit: says this in the readme:
The commoncrawl organization for crawling the web and making the dataset readily available. Even though we have our own crawler now, commoncrawl has been a huge help in the early stages of development.
How is that API still up after this has happened?
There are people that like to keep up with minor version releases like this.
When the majority of the world has been using centralised platforms that don't have the complexities federated platforms do, it's understandable that there will be people that get confused over why there are several "Lemmy" servers, or why they can't sign into a Lemmy server when they signed up on another, or why when they try to find a Lemmy community on their server they can't see it, but they can in Google.
Somehow email providers have avoided this problem, I think because they are pre-installed on devices as the "Email" app.
Pros: The Fediverse would gain a significant amount of users and existing communities.
Cons: Those users would be redditors. While most I've seen are polite, some really love to hate others.
I recall reading that they won't do anything as the comments are content that you willingly submitted. The most they will do is suggest you delete your account to "anonymise" them, but all that does is replace the username with "[deleted]".
You can use a tool like Shreddit to edit and remove all of your comments in bulk. Feeding it your GDPR SAR folder will allow it to get past the 1000 comment backlog limit.
Pleroma calls their equivalent of "All" the "Known Network" instead, which does a better job explaining what will show up there in my opinion.
I did not know adapters like that exist for MicroSD cards. Thank you!
Personally I would have some sort of notice regarding these on affected projects, but I don't think it's enough to warrant slapping an anti-feature flag on them just because of the author's choice of code respoitory hosting provider or CDN.
