I'm quite concerned by the huge increase of seemingly bots on some Lemmy instances. Dvmsocial and beehaw defederated from some. What about bin? How to protect ourselves from the bot swarm that's coming?

Edit :
A Lemmy guy created a script that can auto defederate from these unprotected instances. Maybe it is the short term solution :

I really fear that they all awake at the same time and flood / attack our instances.. This seems to be a temporary solution but time consuming for you. Beehaw defederated too from a list of instances. Maybe this list could help you :

lemmy.k6qw.com,lemmy.podycust.co.uk,waveform.social,bbs.darkwitch.net,cubing.social,lemmy.roombob.cat,lemmy.jtmn.dev,lemmy.juggler.jp,bolha.social,sffa.community,dot.surf,granitestate.social,veenk.help,lemmyunchained.net,wumbo.buzz,lemmy.sbs,lemmy.shwizard.chat,clatter.eu,mtgzone.com,oceanbreeze.earth,mindshare.space,lemmy.tedomum.net,voltage.vn,lemmy.fyi,demotheque.com,thediscussion.site,latte.isnot.coffee,news.deghg.org,lemmy.primboard.de,baomi.tv,marginalcuriosity.net,lemmy.cloudsecurityofficehours.com,lemmy.game-files.net,lemmy.fedi.bub.org,lemmy.blue,lemmy.easfrq.live,narod.city,lemmy.ninja,lemmy.reckless.dev,nlemmy.nl,lemmy.mb-server.com,rammy.site,fedit.io,diggit.xyz,slatepacks.com,theotter.social,lemmy.nexus,kleptonix.com,rabbitea.rs,zapad.nstr.no,feddi.no

based on the list of instances made by @sunaurus here - Thank you again for that work, it’s highly appreciated.

This is a preventive measure against massive amounts of accounts being created for botting purposes. Most instances banned appear to be 1 user instances so we don’t think this will have a great effect on anyone’s usage of Beehaw. If you are an admin of one of those instances, feel free to contact us at [email protected]

An emergency position-indicating radiobeacon (EPIRB) is a type of emergency locator beacon for commercial and recreational boats, a portable, battery-powered radio transmitter used in emergencies to locate boaters in distress and in need of immediate rescue.

wait. They did that? I thought that my reddact 'forgot' to delete some comments...

edit :
Nevermind, I just went on reddit to check this. All my comments had been deleted except some that Reddact changed with nonsense stuff such as :

relieved growth consider smoggy oil disgusted crowd water mysterious tender -- mass edited with https://redact.dev/

You have two options to get rid of this :

Subscribe to magazines that you want to follow. In setting, change your homepage to 'subscribed' (or whatever it is named). Then only scroll your subscribed communities.
Or
next to the subscribe button, there is another button to block a magazine.

Personally I do both. I went on the magazine page, I subscribed to many small communities even if I'm not really interested in. And I block the big ones that are flooding the 'all' homepage (=reddit =redditmigration ....)

I started learning to use photoshop instead of braindeadly scrolling Reddit. It’s more peaceful and enjoyable.

I feel like this with my one member (me) magazine : https://kbin.social/m/AntKeeping

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This is what I did after the disastrous AMA.
Deleted my history with reddact.
Uninstalled Reddit.
Uninstalled Apollo (crying).
I won't go on this platform anymore.
Although I'm missing some 'niche' communities such as antkeeping or those about specific incremental games..

Now I'm trying to filter all the communities that are on this topic.
Even if it's on the fediverse, speaking about Reddit gives them more visibility.

As an old Redditor, I hated reposts or crossposts. This is not creating contents, it’s just flooding a sub/magazine with the same thing. Karma farming was a dumb thing that screwed content diversity.

Ca fait un moment que je cherche un espace francophone. J'ai atterri ici par hasard au détour d'un article sur les noms de domaine de kbin

Comment pourrions nous faire pour que ce magasine soit plus visible?

Hi,

After many years with only a phone and a tablet (I don't play from my professional computer), I just got a new laptop.

I'm looking for some browser idle/incremental games. I want some light games that don't use much cpu. I don't want anything that require kongregate or steam as it is less versatile and more consuming.

I really loved ITRTG, kitten games (but the late game became too complicated), realm grinders (but too active to grind the R's), NGU and now I'm trying my luck on Trimps.

Do you have other games that I should consider?
