    I think a good compromise would be to place them on a list to be manually reviewed by humans. I've seen those brigades so I think you make a great point.
    The mentality of "I haven't seen it so it must be that it doesn't exist" on some of the replies here is weird.

    I did see something similar with two posts of the gnome tiling feature in the same community. The first one had mostly positive comments, while the second one had mostly negative comments. (It seems it did get a few positive comments since I first saw it, but overall it's still more negative)
    The articles the posts link to are different, so that could influence things. Still though, it's the exact same feature being talked about so it's weird to see such a strong difference in the majority opinion under the posts.

    I really don't think the firefish admin "has no issues with racism". The "evidence" there is that Kainoa (the admin) boosted a link to an Electric Frontier Foundation page sent by Eris. I think that's a ridiculous conclusion to make.

    I think it's too hasty of a conclusion to say they were doctored, at least based on what I saw following the situation. There were suspicions/allegations of it, but no clear evidence.

    I like Calckey the most as it has the best thread view out of all fediverse software.
    Akkoma is simpler and more lightweight if you prefer that, but I find its thread UI hard to grasp.

    I don't think it's comparable since fediverse is human moderated and email is not. Messages and accounts on the fediverse are public, so moderators can remove spam before other people see it.
    Accounts on existing instances can be removed and dedicated spam instances can be blocked. The only thing it does is increase the toll on moderators.

    I think a big problem specifically with mastodon.social is its sheer size. I think it's harder to effectively moderate it because of it. If the spam attack was directed at a smaller instance it would also be easy for other instances to hide or block it until it'd be sorted out, so the surface area the spam would reach would be smaller.

    Yeah. Especially on mobile it's a bit inconvenient having to go through some hoops to eg. subscribe to some community on another instance.

    I use Timeshift to automatically do system backups. For files I run an rsync script every few months, which makes a backup to an external hard drive (I couldn't find a GUI program that does what I need).

    It didn't show the "Report successful" message.
    It could've been that it succeeded but didn't show the message, so I tried again which caused it to show the “Couldn’t create report.” error.

  • They're all sent by a handful of recently created accounts. Should there be an admin approval system for first posts, or something similar to slow down such attempts? Edit 2: The [brigaders are coming from /pol/](https://lemmy.ml/post/157485) as found by [@gun@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/u/gun) Edit 3: They've now been banned. Thank you mods.

    Oat pillows are also a nice way to warm/cool yourself. You can also rest your head on it without any worries of water leakage. Heat one in a microwave for 2 minutes, or put it in the freezer depending on whether you want it to warm or cool you.

    Hmm interesting. I've never heard that omitting the multiplication sign affects the order of operations. It could be that it's taught differently in different places. I'd probably interpret a/bc as (a/b)*c, though I'd be a bit confused seeing it written without parentheses.

    Next to the brackets is number 2, so you have to multiply that first

    Brackets come first, the order of operations for the division and multiplication is the same. The leftmost number takes precedence. You're multiplying the two rightmost numbers.
    6/2*(1+2)
    = 6/2*3
    = 3*3
    = 9
    No extra brackets are added

    Edit: I looked into this, and apparently how this is solved is somewhat ambiguous. According to this your way of solving it is how it used to be interpreted historically.

    "dictatorship of the proletariat" just means that the proletariat (the workers) is the class which holds the political power.
    That is in contrast to the "dictatorship of the bourgeoisie", which refers to states where the bourgeoisie - the class which owns the means of production - holds the political power. Spain, Sweden, USA, Germany, etc. are examples of these states.
