Does the reddit style format breed toxicity?

Does the reddit style format inherently make for a toxic environment? Or is it a culture of toxicity from the influx of reditors? For lack of a beter example, on stackoverflow, when someone down votes you, it comes with a comment saying how to improve. On mastodon, people can't downvote you. These platforms are a joy to use, lemmy is depressing if you post. Its depressing because every post or comment, no mater the quality comes with downvotes, and usually no criticism to accompany it, you are left not knowing if youve made a mistake, or if its just trolls, bots, or idiots. At the end you feel insulted not improved. What do you think?

Ugh, yes 🙄

- Engineer: No problem, we can fix this on the terminal - Designer: Woah, you're a **hacker!** - Engineer: No, it's just the terminal. - Designer: Where are all the buttons, icons, and dropdown menus? - Designer: Is this the **matrix?** - Engineer: Yes. Author signed on the right "PABLO STANLEY" look him up. I cant seem to find the original post.

``` [joe@fedora ~]$ echo echo echo echo echo echo echo [joe@fedora ~]$ cat speak Meow meau miaw meooou! [joe@fedora ~]$ source code print('Hello World!') [joe@fedora ~]$ cd rom [joe@fedora rom]$ ``` - **echo**: repeats you, it repeated "echo echo echo" - **cat**: displays the content of a file if given, the content of the file "speak" was "Meow meau miaw meooou!" - **cd**: I changed the directory my shell is working in to a directory called rom - **source**: runs the commands in the specified file in your shell the command in the file "code" was ``` echo "print('Hello World!')" ```

Do you speak computer and human?

I've observed a connection between lovers of computer languages, and lovers of human languages. If you are interested in coding or linguistics, are you interested in both or just one of of the two? If only one interests you, which one and why? If both interest you, do they seem related to one another?

Illegal humanitarianism: zlibrary; honeypot?

When you first visit zlibrary, a humanitarian organization providing illegal access to books online, it appears to be a honeypot for uploaders, requiring an email to sign up, and providing no access without an account. But in the past, it turned out that you were permitted to make an account with an anonymous email, thus partially alleviating the concern. Today it appears that they have confirmed their status as a honeypot by purging all* anonymous accounts from the platform. \*I had set up an anonymous account for research purposes (to observe the site) months ago. Today they made a telegram announcement about ongoing DOS attacks and anonymous account bans: \------ "⚠️Many of you have noticed that our website has been experiencing instability in the last few days, including registration problems and issues with email delivery. The fact is that we have been under a massive attack by bots during this time, and our team has been working diligently to address the consequences of these attacks. We have also blocked accounts that were registered using temporary emails and exhibited suspicious activity. If your account is listed as "deleted," please email us at support@z-lib.se and we will assist you in resolving the issue. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause." \------ After reading I checked my account, and it had been deleted, without having ever spammed at all! I believe they they may intend to deanonymize the small portion of anonymous users. This may be an honest mistake, or it may mean the organization has been infiltrated, or that they have always been government. The risk of using the platform is now too great for those who rely on it for access to books, education, and culture. It is particularly risky for those that participate in the humanitarian efforts associated with the organization despite their illegally in powerful extremist capitalist and authoritarian countries like the United States and those under her control, who treat distribution of important digital content as a form of theft despite the reality that no one looses anything. Update ( 1 week later): anonymous accounts still banned, new anonymous registrations fail silently (confirmation email is never actually sent)
