  • I think one of his accounts was LMAO@lemmy.world, basically he got banned for community squatting and then due to it vowed to ruin the platform, his first attempt was spamming a bunch of long domains, but that got automated out as someone released a tool that allowed you to give a token and a username and it just nuked every community that person owned. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was the same guy.


  • as much as I wanna jump on the spez evil train, I think a more likely trail is that kid who got banned for community squatting, he found that they automated away his ability to just spam create dumb communities so now he’s likely just paying someone to DDoS the platform. He has a youtube channel, it’s really sad. All his videos are worthless acts like “hacking” (more like exploiting) websites that he thinks are popular/makes views. He even has a video on how to speedrun getting monetized on youtube in the event that your channel gets banned/demonetized. It’s super shitty.

    ok, let me clarify. Obscenity is not protected under the first amendment. Accidental gore/maiming is maybe allowed, at most it’s a grey area until its concidered obscene, however once it hits the obscenity level the supreme court has declared that it is a violation of federal law and therefore illegal. It’s a huge reason that many sites actively take the content down and have it against TOS. Most enforcement/regulation with the standing is generally in relation to minors, but it isn’t exclusive to minors.












  • It’s not a strict deal breaker for me, I use an Android myself. But I will definitely preach to people the differences between Apple and Android, because in the US there is a vast divide and for some reason they think that it’s a status symbol to have an Apple device, and they will boast like it’s some great thing. It’s super fun to pull up the hardware specs and show them that my phone Beats there new iPhone in almost every category. Then I end it with saying that both systems have ups and down, apples biggest Pro is going to be their interface, but if you are a techie or want actual control over the phone itself stick with Android. Most of the “incompatibilities” between the two systems, are Apple generated, meaning that they’ve gone out of the way in some way to actively forbid it. Bluetooth is a perfect example of this, Apple devices support it for audio transfer and Airdrop uses Bluetooth for its transfer medium, but you can’t transfer files strictly over Bluetooth because the functionality has been intentionally removed to allow the walled garden state.



  • Right, so many sites try their hardest to have every thing hosted on their own platform, then they put stupid High restrictions on what you can actually do with the content because of the fact that they’re now having everything on their own host. Switching from peer to peer to Cloud hosted was in my opinion the beginning of the downfall for Skype. It removed a lot of its permissions that you could give on the platform, it broke compatibility of the Unix Community which took them two and a half years to finally fix, and it actually butchered their reliability
