There is no caching, images from other instances are loaded directly from the remote server by your browser.

Storage requirements depend entirely on the amount of images that users upload. In case of slrpnk.net, there are currently 1.6 GB of pictrs data. You can also use s3 storage, or something like sshfs to mount remote storage.

I keep coming back to this post because its honestly hilarious.

Maybe don’t be an archetypal settler

Me, who lives in the same continent where my ancestors lived for millenia, being told by you, from United States, that I am a settler. You prove that anglos are only good at projection.

going to bat for other settlers,

You obviously didnt understand anything I said. Did you not learn reading comprehension in school?

and you won’t get metaphorically rolled in a sweet and smoked

Is there any meaning to this? Or did you smoke something while posting? Dont smoke and post, kids.

I don’t know a single working class programmer except my professors

Im not surprised that you dont know many people.

I don’t wanna hear you weeping your plainly-obvious crocodile tears

Nah, just posting what I think about in the shower. Dont get so upset about nothing.

when you could easily pick up a six figure job tomorrow.

I am one of two people who worked full-time to create this platform you are using. But according to you, I am not a worker because I could sell my soul for money, and work a shitty corporate job. Flawless logic.

Honestly, go back to Reddit or whichever hole you crawled out of. Lemmy is better without people like you.

You are wrong, it uses the title attribute which is valid html, and not the title element. Maybe Lynx doesnt support that attribute on a elements, I dont know.

Btw you need to add a newline after each quote so that its rendered correctly as markdown.

Yes I banned that user, because he consistently broke the site rules, and even kept breaking them after receiving a one week ban. Its really simple, if you dont follow the rules there will be consequences, if not other users will also be encouraged to imitate such bad behaviour.

The way rules work is pretty simple. Whenever you post in a community ending in @lemmy.ml, you are a guest on that instance and need to follow the rules in the sidebar, or face the consequences.

You guys are really sad. Nothing better to do than being miserable on the internet and hating on strangers.

Lemmy in general is fine, its just a single instance which cant behave.

No thats not currently possible with Lemmy, but Im thinking of implementing something like that in lemmyBB directly in the future (and later upstream it).

Not true, federation blocklists are essentially one-way. Beehaw has you blocked, so they wont see any content from lemmygrad. But lemmygrad doesnt have beehaw blocked, so its content is shown here. Admins should consider blocking these instances to hide the content.

Other admins also didnt see any rule violations in the comments you shared above. We simply dont have a rule against promoting Lemmy instances, in fact we encourage it because thats the best way for Lemmy to grow. If you have a problem with other instances, I suggest you talk to the admins directly, or alternatively block the instances so content from there wont be visible at all to Lemmygrad users.

Basically these people think they have some kind of god-given right to make demands about how lemmy.ml should be moderated. Which is ridiculous on its own, plus most of them arent even registered on this instance.

Contributions are always welcome! You can look through the issues for anything that you might be interested to work on. Also be sure to join the dev chat on matrix. And do ask if there is anything unclear.

No

Dont worry, its hard to take these people seriously because they are acting like little children when they dont get their favorite toy. The insults arent even creative at all. Its just not something that I expected to happen when I started contributing to Lemmy, and especially didnt expect it from that group of people.

Reports work in a very basic way for now. Basically they are sent to all mods of the community, and to instance admins. If any one of them decides to resolve the report, others will generally not see it anymore. Also, the action of resolving a report isnt federated at all. So basically, a report needs to resolved once on each instance. Here is an issue about improving reports, feel free to add suggestions.

I would say that the comments you mention are simply subjective views of these two individuals. You might not agree with those views, but calling it lying seems exaggerated. I also dont understand how you can hold the entire instances responsible for actions of individual users. In any case, I will discuss this with our admin team.

Ideally you should have reported it when you first saw it. The instance is so active now that its impossible for us admins to read all the comments, and we have to rely on reports.

Just came across this comment. Can you point out where Beehaw attacked Lemmygrad, or tried to bring it down? Of course if they violate our site rules, I will do something about it, but I dont remember seeing any reports like that.

If you disagree specifically with the rules and moderation of /c/worldnews, then you should unsubscribe here and subscribe to !worldnews@lemmygrad.ml instead.

And who gets to decide what is or isnt “NATO propaganda”? It would require some kind of fact checker, which could easily turn into a fulltime job. I think it makes much more sense that users debunk “fake news” in the comments, so that others can see the arguments and consider if they make sense or not. That way people can actually have discussions and learn something. If we just removed any “fake news”, people would still read it in other places, and wouldnt see anyone debunking it.

If you dont like moderation on this instance, its only logical that you pick another one which you like more. One of the main purposes of federation is that there can be different instances with their own rules and moderation policies.

Also, do explain why this article is nsfw content.

The coment was “Most mentally sane sopuli user”, calling users of that instance insane. Thats clearly a violation of rule 2: “Be respectful. Everyone should feel welcome here.”

This is not “tone policing”, its called enforcing the rules. And by the way, there isnt any rule which would prohibit “NATO propaganda”. Maybe you would be happier on lemmygrad.ml instead of here?
