Yeah, that’s the part that I was referencing to. If you have a topic called ‘the sky is’ on multiple instances, and they all say a different color, it rather defeats the purpose of an encyclopedia as some sort of source of truth if you have to pick which one is right.
That could be, I was thinking if the pages were more like the communities. I would have to think they need to be for any kind of moderation, otherwise who approves edits or has edit permissions? If someone else doesn’t agree with the vision on the existing page/thread what stops someone from putting up an alternate version?
Missing an /s?
Take a look at the ‘news’ on various instances like hexbear vs world and it’s night and day. An encyclopedia is meant to be factually reliable, but if this works like it does here you would have the equivalent of conservapedia and prolewiki sitting side by side as ‘true’.
Probably a lot more stats on it too if you look at the county recorder/assessor offices. Used to do document recording work a couple decades back and the amount of info you can get off public records for free is kind of nuts.
This sounds like a way to have 13 different ‘realities’ for any given topic, depending on which instance it was hosted on.
It got people to talk about it and take interest in what is going on. There are undoubtedly some portion of the population that are fully oblivious of the world around them, or just indifferent at least, but someone going on for that long has to make them wonder why he would do that.
I’d take bets on it, how many times where Canada/Mexico on/off/adjusted withing a couple days?
Edit: my guess is whenever he makes some big sweeping gesture it’s because his other hand is pilfering out collective pockets somehow.
What’s he trying to distract people from? We know perfectly well these won’t actually happen.
They’ll be reverted as soon as he gets some flattery and palm greasing from the right people.
The guy beat you to it in 1996
I did, but mostly because I already have a bunch of stuff set up and it’s not going to change the costs any.
So now he thinks he can make demands extraterritoriality, awesome. I don’t suppose he would make demands like ‘stop invading and murdering you neighbor countries and their people’ now would he? Nah, let’s drop sanctions from Russia and who is this Israel place that he was meant to stop from doing bad things, I haven’t heard much on them of late…
When Red Green gets into consumer electronics…
Built up tolerance, just keep an eye on the rest of the monkeys in the admin though for any strange or inexplicable behavior.
I hear Pete Hegseth started a drinking game based around every time Trump says the word tariff.
One option I’ve run into particularly with some self hosted systems is with notices going to the wrong one of multiple systems logged in. If you have several phones/tablets/computers using the same account notices can get twitchy. Could try killing of some old logins and reset this one to refresh the token it uses to keep you authed.
The model here needs tuning, it hasn’t managed to mimick coherent human language yet.
Generally yeah, the same could be said for Lemmy and their communities. The challenge is when you have federated systems like this you have to largely take it as good faith that instance owners will keep reasonably updated software and good practices so you don’t end up with a pile of spam edits.
With communal wiki type systems as a whole you end up with the question of credibility. Some people would cite only well researched and validated studies, and some people whole heatedly believe that a religious text was written by divine hand and this must be true. How do you reconcile those two without giving weight to things that are patently nonsense, aka you must teach the gospel of the flying spaghetti monster to be fair to all?
