A lot of people complain about traffic and commutes, but the whole personalized media industry since the iPod has turned cars into personal alone time that they don't get at home or office. I've met plenty of people who take more pride in their car and driving ability in traffic than they do with almost any positive achievement of humanity. The marketing of identity with their car and commuting lifestyle is extremely effective.

he’s popular as a speaker for a reason

I think he has a natural talent to listen to what gets a rise out of people, what gets a reaction, and then copy that in his own way. What he says, once transcribed to written form, is often not very intelligent. It's his mannerism and even his unique makeup and hair - that people listen to far more than his actual meaning. I find people who think Trump is a great person often have serious difficulty interpreting and understanding hard sciences like chemistry and physics... and are influenced by advertising techniques in particular ways.

But lemmy.world should primarily communicate via lemmy imo…

I find the same attitude holds for developers who like to hang out in real-time Matrix chat and don't seem to use Lemmy itself very much and things like code blocks ruining greater-than and less-than slip right into release without much concern.

I've found there is a culture within Lemmy developers and long-time operators to discuss in Discord or Matrix chat instead of "eating their own dogfood" and using Lemmy itself to openly discuss Lemmy technical and project issues. These chat services are legendary for keeping things away from search engines and newcomers getting up to speed. Lemmy itself isn't nearly as search-engine friendly as Reddit was traditionally, it seems like feedback needs to be given as to how important it is to keep things about Lemmy in the eyes of those who actually use Lemmy...

You mean "comment context" links? It's been that way for 10 days that I've noticed. There are previous posts about it, from 4 days ago: https://lemmy.world/post/2697806

I can't find it, but a dozen plus years ago I was reading an interview with Phillip K Dick, who was married 5 times, and during the interview one of his- wives was packing things - and he commented to the interviewer to just let them take what they wanted as he has already experienced this multiple times.

Some people seem to be interpreting this to mean 11 million comments per day. I think it means the numbers are updated daily.

The numbers also don't make a lot of sense to me. Front page of lemmy.world says 620,000 (local origin) comments. And Lemmy sequentially numbers the comments for an instance, mixing both local and federated and the recent numbers look like 2,122,067. Lemmy.ml says 253,000 on the front page, and their index key is showing 2,321,959 for a comment made today. I have to imagine that these two servers are subscribed to a lot of stuff (including each other). I'd be surprised if there were more than 4 million unique comments in Lemmy. And there would be some kbin messages in the Lemmy.world index.

Thoughts?

I haven't tested with 0.18.3 to see if new features were added to front-end lemmy-ui, but based on my experience with earlier 0.18 releases... the "Sign Up" page of Lemmy needs to have a custom message added for each instance basically introducing the instance from the admins. The experience is pretty bad... on my instance I have registration closed and lemmy-ui still just presents "Sign Up" links and even the form. I think it's pretty important to get this in the back-end now so that the evolving independent front-ends all support the custom message shown above/below the Sign Up form..

Seems like something that shouldn't take a lot of coding to get added (admin screen has place to create custom messages like "Legal") that would be a good lemmy network-wide focus on the newcomer experience.

I can confirm the problem, it's been gong on all week. It really impacts anyone on another instance with a link, they will fail.

As I understand the situation, Lemmy.world has been suffering from performance problems and certain comment links were being attacked by distributed clients. So they basically have firewalled /comment links for everyone (I assume using nginx based on behavior, or maybe the front-end cloud distributor).

Personally I'm interested to know which specific comment links cause the PostgreSQL performance problems as I'm trying to track down and fix those issues. But I haven't seen anyone detail which specific post/comment threads cause the problems... I've just seen the developers reduce loading to 50 and 300 without creating testing scripts to reproduce the issue for other developers to study.

I'm hoping lemmy.world can implement a less-drastic solution than 100% block of comment links from non-local referral origin... such as a rate limit on those links of 3 per 5 seconds or something low like that. Anyway, I hope you are having a good weekend.

Fox allowing him hours a day of direct speech....

Follow-up, here is the messy code I published: https://github.com/RocketDerp/lemmy_server_fixes0/blob/client_side_testing_main_r1/api_tests/src/remote_home_remote.spec.ts

The relevant test is currently:
test("2 non-admin mon-moderator ordinary users, can blocked user comment on post or comments?", async () => {

I included a link to your posting in the code comments. Have a good weekend!

Once Elon Musk returns him to Twitter, we will have the "bar and grill of all the world's journalist" for the past 15 years become a black hole of old news story history. The symbolic tactics that are under play are massive. Reality has been rejected on a massive scale via electric media.... Dans un sens, c'est le système entier qui, par sa fragilité interne, prête main-forte à l'action initiale. Plus le système se concentre mondialement, ne constituant à la limite qu'un seul réseau

Trump followers can't even see how the former mayor of NYC has lost his mind. They meet at 4 seasons gardening.
