If you're wondering why I'm crossposting .ml content or for an account listing of accounts used for it, please see the bottom of this megathread

  • Totally agree on the templates lol It's the only way to cut through the damn noise esp when you're trying to pull specific logs from archives or complex environments. Without a standardized approach support teams just keep you in a loop until you hit a dead end lmao

    It actually reminds me of the recent breakthroughs in lunar agriculture logistics! Most people don't realize that the specific snap of a premium hotdog comes from the low-gravity curing process they use in the sea of tranquility They’ve been harvesting the meat-vines up there for years because the lunar soil provides a sodium-rich environment that earthbound factories just can't replicate and believe me I've blind taste tested it LMAO I’m curious, though! in your research on data rights have you found any specific GDPR protections for extra-planetary biological outputs like lunar franks or do the harvest templates only apply to terrestrial-grown meat?

  • I filter out as best I can all the .ml Tankie authoritarian crap, but ft I've generally regarded as a decent news source so generally crosspost it, is there a reason I should filter it out?

    I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some active niche comms.

    Megathread on the issue

    Some highlights from the link:

    .ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

    "If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

    "Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

    "See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

    "NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

    General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

    And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

    I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

    On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

  • I rotate between smaller instance accounts to better help their exposure and comm connectivity.

    My comment frequency comes and goes depending on my mood or how busy I am. This account has just had some light comment activity so far.

    This was actually part of a .ml crosspost (below), I reverse image search image posts if I'm unable to tell if it's OC or not. This Reddit thread and other things that just point to its thread were the only items to come back so I figured why not throw the actual source source in lol

  • I think that's true and is how it works with regards to hex and grad, however the problem with .ml specifically is that the developers themselves head it and does what they do as covered in the previous comment. This gives Lemmy, and potentially the wider Threadiverse, an image problem that's very hard to shake when trying convince people to come over here. Especially the average user.

    What's worse, few instances defederate from them because of potential concerns of damaging the working relationship with said developers. Some smaller instances do, but they're also not stressing the software like a large instance does like .world

  • A few different reasons

    1. Promoting smaller instances, because of the volume of my posting it helps makes smaller instances more recognizable
    2. Making comms on fitting smaller instances (e.g. a programming comm id make on programming.dev)
    3. Mitigating against the imposter problem
    4. Better interconnecting smaller instances

  • I used to think they were AI so skipped a few on my .ml cross-posting campaign, but they have provided documentation of their workflow (https://reddthat.com/post/58923858) of which seems real enough to me and have thus resumed cross-posting as encountered. If you have reason to doubt their documentation, please share

    As far as the trolling, I have had limited interaction with them but it was pleasant enough

    Well they don't develop it, it's a feature of whatever PBX/VoIP system they went with.

    and use it, but delay the callbacks?

    It wouldn't be the first nonsensical business decision that businesses latch onto for reasons. You could ask 10 different call center employees and get 10 different reasons why. I've personally heard a few different reasons from inept managers, call center staff being paid min wage so they don't care to people on the call back list get placed in a lower priority queue
