Convenient timing on r/place sorta like it’s to drive up traffic

Not sure where to ask this, would it be possible to implement a feature where blocking communities could be done from the feed?

Right now you have to open the community itself and load more content to be able to block it. Sorry if there’s a right place for this and this isn’t it.

So I can create an instance and automatically start scraping people’s info? Or is an instance not even necessary? I understand how web crawlers and spiders will index but do they have access to the granular account data? If so how do we mitigate this?

[–] Jakeg@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

You know I didn’t think of this. Does every new instance created, if it chooses to, federate and download data automatically from the other instances? Like upvotes downvotes etc, or is that only possible when something like kbin or lemmy.ml agree to federate with instance x?

But they would if they’re allowed to federate. This is a company that builds shadow profiles on people that don’t even use fb. You really think they’re not going to try and get what they can get their hands on by any means necessary?

No thank you, give them access to user info even one time is too many.

I kind of like how it’s a time capsule of all the different changes it’s been through

I really hope Reddit dies a slow painful death, it's already mostly bots talking with each other in the main subs. They got too greedy and think they're so large their sh* don't stink. Apologize for the crass, but man I just hope we get more major blunders and fuckups from spez&co

[–] Jakeg@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It really already is, from the very little I’ve seen so far, this has more of the “early” Reddit days for me feel, it’s not overrun with bots and hidden corporate interests at every post and comment thread.

I’ve avoided Reddit since Sunday and am missing being able to see what’s going on without having to visit tech blogs/news sites/etc…

Decided might as well make the next jump and propel the death of Dig, I mean reddit
