Was the first paragraph written by the Meta marketing department?

That doesn’t include images. Images are stored on wikimedia commons, which is about 600 TB.

Lets you block a whole instance including users.

I proudly still use a super specialised old school online forum and it works great for those purposes.

I agree it is really annoying (the duplication issue). Have devs thought of a solution?. You can manually sort of merge by adding multiple ISBN’s together but it isn’t a proper workaround.

Would be better to have multiple instances of the same book possibly, but the reviews get merged?

I’m already taken, sorry Nicole.

If that were true in general, wikipedia would not bother blocking IPs.

IP address is often enough to link data to a profile for data brokers. And Lemmy has so much valuable data, not only in posts or comments, but upvotes and downvotes etc. This could be someone making bank of selling data.

[Though other people investigating the url seem to be pretty sure the images don’t have a per user url, so this theory probably doesn’t hold]

I’ve recieved about 8 messages over the past few months.

Banger instance btw

hahhaahh.

Interesting. Thanks for the background.

oh never seen feddit.nu instance before? What region is it for?

I think pixelfed communities would be a big boon to non-computer science/engineering type hobby communities. Which is a place in which lemmy majorly lacks. So good news imo.

From what I can tell, the culture on pixelfed is more chill, whimsical, artsy.

While lemmy is more technical, politicsy, confrontational etc?

I haven’t been much on PixelFed since the massive explosion in users though.

The architecture is very different.

I don’t know if it was originally a fork, but if it was, you’d hardly realise comparing the code.

It’s kind of like Bluesky’s version of ActivityPub.

Though it’s built quite differently, which comes with some major advantages and disadvantages.

Knowing a couple of the most active accounts. None of them are teenagers, in all cases middle aged men.
