I thought that would be different here, but sadly is not. lol
If people would at least just check the community they're posting to, it would help immensely.
Good truly unpopular opinion, and mostly good discussion on the points made. That said, I think pretty much all the points that were going to be made have been made. Locking thread.
I've been using this one a bit more during these federation backups. I can't really adopt it as my daily driver, though. My home instance is the one I run, so I tend to favor it. lol
If my instance ever gets sync'd back up where I can interact in something approximating real-time, I may make that happen lol.
Oh, I was just lamenting that such a garbage post is contributing to the backlog because of the activities it generates (which LW has to federate out since its "owns" the community this was posted in). Basically a potshot at a low-effort, shit take of a post.
It's a Lemmy thing. Basically latency limits the maximum number of activities that can be sent per second (they're sent like TCP: serially, and each must be acknowledged). When LW has a LOT of activities to send out, they can get backlogged if there's significant latency between LW and other federated servers.
That's the gist of it, anyway.
Good lord, I can't believe Lemmy World's federation queue is backed up for so many other instances because of stupid shit like this.
OP, the wording of the post is very confusing. Would you mind perhaps editing the post to clarify your opinion?
Thanks!
I think the distributed nature of the Fediverse is a big part of it. Lot of moderation policies at play, on a lot of different instances and some allow some real jerks to flourish and spill out elsewhere. I have zero tolerance for any of that garbage and am very quick with my block/ban buttons, but those are only effective on my own instance or the few communities I moderate outside that.
OP, best I can suggest is to report them. Most of the communities I interact with are pretty responsive to those kinds of reports and similarly don't tolerate it. Mods, unfortunately, can't read every comment and often rely on reports to know when to look deeper/take action.
And don't feel bad about blocking the jerks. There's a lot of them, lol.
It's a conspiracy, bud. Trying to keep the truth down!
OR....there's like 300 duplicates of the exact same thing because everyone thinks they're CNN and the first to break the story and the mods are cleaning up.
Take your pick.
