Complacency isn’t a legitimate defense against criminal activity and corporations are extremely litigious over piracy. Would you rather lemmy.world spend all their money on fighting lawsuits, or building a better instance?

Any community that is creating questionable content should create their own instance and not seek open federation with the entire fediverse. That kind of behavior is reckless and counterproductive to what we’re trying to do here.

Where can we suggest improvements?

This could be a very powerful tool if the right options are added. One of the things I’d like to see is the ability to set an upvote or comment threshold. If posts were popular, I would like to keep them. If, however, a post received very little upvotes and had little interaction, there’s not much value in keeping it. And I’m talking about all interactions here, not just from members of our own instances.

This doesn’t seem like a very hard thing to implement and would be well received.

I’m attempting this migration on an instance that has been running for about a month, is federated with the top 10+ instances and has synced a lot of data.

The steps I’m using are as follows:

stop docker: sudo docker stop domainname_pictrs_1

run docker-compose to open a session in the stopped container: sudo docker-compose run pictrs sh

run the cmdlet to migrate pictrs via https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs/#filesystem-to-object-storage-migration

When this runs, it appers to be trying to sync like… all of the lemmy fediverse… to my object storage:

2023-08-13T17:55:44.426301Z WARN pict_rs: Running checks

2023-08-13T17:55:45.188984Z WARN pict_rs: Checks complete, migrating store

2023-08-13T17:55:45.275403Z WARN pict_rs: 56963 hashes will be migrated

Most of these fail, and I’m trying to run it again with --skip-missing-files , but based on what I’m seeing I don’t know if this is really something that can be done once an instance has federated with a lot of other instances.

Am I missing something?

Edit: with --skip-missing-files its telling me that it’s going to take 23403 seconds (6.5 hours) to complete this migration.

When I look into the bucket, I see all kinds of random images being migrated over, so it’s definitely storing pretty much every image that my instance has ever synced. Is there a way to just migrate content that originated on my instance?

IT’S JUST A FEW DECIMAL PLACES GIVE ME A BREAK 😆

This is honestly not a bad idea.

I’m not sure about mods, but if the game is modable, it gives you a year for all that to be created and your experience is going to be way better.

I don’t really see a problem with this. Is it so much different from making a good 3D model?

We’re talking about assets that will be used for generating massive crowds. That’s already done with CGI. These scans aren’t even “AI”… they’re just like metahumans in Cryengine.

This guy just put the term AI on it because it freaks everyone out.

If you take the $200 for a motion and body scan and you sign your rights away, that’s what you get. This isn’t a change to how Hollywood already operations. Fear-mongering for nothing.

100 million isn’t that much when it comes to Meta. There’s over 2 billion “active” Instagram users that all were prompted to download the app. That means only 0.005% of Instagram accounts fell for it.

I have no doubt that at least that many people tried it out. When I went to the Android App store, Meta was paying for a front and center promotion of Threads.

It’s important to note that Lemmy.ml is defederated from lemmygrad. So while there may be some of the same people involved, the instance as a whole is run correctly.

I can’t really tell the truth behind all this drama, because there seems to be a pretty dedicated group of people trying to slander lemmy.ml, but I’ve never seen anything unreasonable out of them.

At this point, I honestly think it’s a hit-squad paid by Reddit to discredit Lemmy.

Mastodon is perfect for this type of thing as well. They have full control over the instance. They can restrict sign-ups so that official accounts are easily verifiable. It’s a terrific idea.

This is the kind of thing that could help Mastodon really take off. The only reason most people still look at Twitter is for updates from official sources.

Google made a huge mistake shutting down Google+. If they had built it out to integrate with Youtube, where people could have a space to Tweet, have a Main Page feed like Facebook, and post videos all in the same platform, they would have dominated the market.

I still have a hard time believing that no-one has created a platform that encompasses all of those things. Meta is doing it piece-meal but it’s all disorganized. It should be one unified platform.

That’s why I hope some developers start working on a way to integrate Lemmy and Mastodon and like… PeerTube together into a single frontend. I’d love to be able to manage my Mastodon posts and BS on Lemmy in the same website.
