  • I’m not actually sure how that works. If LW defederates does it block all users from that instance from posting? I would guess “yes” in that I believe the instance the community is hosted on plays a role in tracking posts to that community. If you’re curious, I would definitely ask one of the dev communities.

    Will leave up for a little since I’m sure a lot of other people saw the barrage of spam from last night. Should be all cleaned up now.

    Also, I do believe that is a legit instance, so it’s not likely it’ll be defederated, they’re likely a victim of the spammers as much as we are here… they just need to delete those accounts and block those IPs.





















  • The one I always find funny is tech CEOs or ads out there that use the term “quantum leap” to describe an improvement. In reality, a quantum leap is just when an electron changes orbitals – one of the smallest movements a piece of matter can make. In my mind, a device being described as a “quantum leap” ahead of it’s predecessor sounds like it’s barely changed at all. Even better is the state is often temporary as electrons jump up an orbital when absorbing energy and then will jump back down when they release it. All in all, a terrible marketing term.
