not called Brad but rather a lad, from Bradford in the UK.

Enjoys breaking apps, escooters, spam rings and sometimes bones, drones, but not my own. Because that sucks.

  • Yeah me too, photos and videos I’ve recorded are the only things I’m bothered about. Backing up off-site all my arrrrr booty is redundant since I’ve shared it to a 2.1 ratio already and hopefully can download it again from people with larger storage than my family member has.

    It’s how I handle backing up those photos / videos thou. I bought them a 512GB card and shoved that in a GLi AP they have down there which I sync my DCIM folder to (app was removed from Play Store since it didn’t need updating but Googles stupid policies meant it went RIP…), and I also backup that to the old Synology NAS I handed down to them. I suppose I could use Syncthing but I like that old app since the adage if it’s not broke don’t fix it applies.

    Along with them having Tailscale on a Pi4 (on a UPS and is their/my backup TVHeadend server) and their little N100 media box I don’t even bother them with my meager photo collection and works good.

    I hear ya.

    But like I say the Fediverse is a bit different to reddit and means someone from a freshly made/hosted instance can straight up send you “bad things” in a comment thread nevermind a DM unless the Instance admins have de-federated from a spam(my)/unmoderated instance.

    I’ve been putting off the invite to help the admins of my Instance since I’m a complete idiot at the best of times, but I do think we need more people flagging / tagging / sharing / mass banning them.

    Good luck and have fun with the risky clicks ;)

    Has Nicole been trying to cheat on me again?

    But seriously, sometimes these come from random instances besides the one you’ve mentioned and I can’t see how you could block them outside of playing whack-a-mole due to the nature of how the Fediverse…works.

    Maybe instance admins could implement some kinda cool off feature before being able to DM another user, maybe the Lemmy devs could like you’re requesting outright allow you to block DM’s. Thing is, the spammers then adapt and use other methods to desperately try to get you biting their shite.

    I had another yesterday

    that didn’t show up until I clicked the [obj] placeholder in Boost and eventually did the risky click shit even thou it could’ve been CSAM 🤬
