Given the amount of false notices in the past (not to us, in general), there is absolutely a ton of automation without human oversight in there, and that was already the case long before AI.

Companies like “CTW Anti-Piracy 2” and “Altitude Film Sales” or "Altitude Film Sales 2” (not sure if there are multiple types of Altitude Film Sales, the Lumen notice lists them with a 2 but the complaint text without) clearly don’t care about the damage they do to their own reputation. In the end, most people won’t care anyway and it won’t meaningfully harm their reputation even if they fuck up on a significantly larger scale. It’s not like they’d have to fear any legal repercussions for these false statements either, as the only part they swear under penalty of perjury is that they are authorized by the copyright holder.

doesn’t seem to be the case, at least there is not enough information to link the two cases.

Hi,

the immediate issue is resolved, and we’re looking to extend our monitoring in the coming days to have better insights on the underlying issue, as well as alerts before it would get to the point of throwing errors.

For some reason Lemmy has been having significantly more open file handles (including e.g. connections) than usual, leading to a denial of service. At this point it’s unknown whether this is caused by a bug in Lemmy, an attack, or something else.

Cloudflare actually stopped their service

what?

we are on the latest version now, there is no need to wait

doesn’t really look much different between the two instances. the theme differences are minor. the current default theme on piefed.world is even a bit more compact than the quokk.au default theme.

there are also user settings for more compact post listings, e.g. the variant with smaller thumbnails:

and after writing all this i realized you were referring to the bottom navigation. we updated several piefed versions in the last few days, if this is still the case for you i recommend raising this as a bug directly at https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/issues

in the past couple of days it seems like LLM crawlers have been ramping up again, with totally normal traffic patterns like these

we’re currently looking into trying to identify them better without having to serve everyone with a captcha or something like anubis to access the site.

they don’t seem to be moderating at all, nor interacting with anything on the fediverse other than spamming to their own communities, likely automated. we will defed from them soon if i don’t receive a response to my pm. i’m aware of at least one other instance admin unsuccessfully attempting to reach out to them already due to lack of moderation.

In an ideal world where this could happen in a peaceful way? I wouldn’t see an issue with that.

In our current world where it seems that the only way for it to exist is one involving mass murder? Absolutely not.

thank you for actually following up.

These cases are not about murder, but death sentences following due process. While it’s not exactly the same, it’s still calling for violence, even if it’s in a more civilized and more commonly accepted way. Murder generally refers to unlawful killings.

I will take this to our team to discuss. Although I’m personally against death penalties, as I don’t believe anyone can be trusted with this power as it will absolutely get abused and mistakes will be made, I think discussion surrounding death penalties in general should be allowed, provided there is due process involved. Discussion without referencing specific cases is also not easily possible. This is something that can be difficult to define, as for example Israel also claims there to be due process for the Palestinians they execute and lawfulness can often be quickly changed in favor of the acting regime.

This is definitely a comment that could have been phrased a lot better, but I don’t see how this could even remotely be considered a call for violence.

if you’re not going to provide any references just say so instead of beating around the bush

i just searched through our conversations for mentions of murder, kill, israel, zion or palest, and there is nothing relevant.

you just claimed that jordan was calling for people to be murdered, so please provide references for this.

i don’t remember everything we’ve talked about and i’m not going to read through everything again, but you clearly seem to know what you’re referring to, so that should be easy to find. i doubt that this exists in the first place, and if it does, it was likely acted on already.

i’m fully aware that there are other issues you have with jordan, but since you brought up claims of calling for murder, let’s focus on that.

please share where jordan is calling for people to be murdered.

please go ahead and provide references

I’m sure you have references to us allowing people calling for others to be murdered to support your argument.

We don’t support any murder, neither murder of zionists nor murder of anyone else.

we are not zionists. if you call for zionists to be murdered and then call us zionists that is a call to murder us, despite a lot of people claiming that it’s “just a harmless political slogan”. this is normalization of mass murder. we do not tolerate genocide or other murders either, which is also an accusation that a lot of people are throwing around here. accusations of zionism, mostly from dbzer0/AN users, are constantly thrown around against people that they don’t deem to be radical enough.

defederation was done while this person was still an admin

it wasn’t a regular user. it was a member of their admin team.

the LW accounts are related to a transphobe and all banned now

maybe worth to name and shame those apps with lack of proper lemmy markdown support.

and ideally check if that has already been reported to their devs, and doing that if it hasn’t been done yet.
