It was probably poorly phrased but I feel like I remember there was a group of various instance admins at the time discussing ways to deal with it, so it was more of a reference to maybe they figured something out.

You’re right that they used tiny instances with no oversight and open registrations to ban evade for a long time even before this debacle when it was just normal Nicole spam.

A copycat spammer started sending gore pictures to people using the same Nicole copypasta text. A lot of people got upset and there was a flurry of discussion over like a 24h period. Some people seemed to think it was a serial killer and Nicole had been doxxed and killed. In reality if I recall right the picture was from a morgue somewhere in China.

Anyway the whole thing led to a general “okay maybe the joke has run its course and we shouldn’t encourage this” type of moment and the sub was shut down. Presumably the spammer stopped spamming once they no longer received attention, but maybe the admins found and IP banned them or something. I have no idea.

That’s some slop for sure.

Slopornot has a great ring to it I must say.

Interesting.

This is the answer, I hope it’s common knowledge by now.

Yeah, agreed. Between lemm.ee closing leading to people moving over to Piefed in droves and Summer Lemmy coming to an end I don’t see anything concerning in the data I think.

Wasn’t July 1st when lemm.ee shut down?

I feel like the Formula 1 community is fairly active with quite a bit of actual discussion going on?

!guitarporn@sfw.community is basically dead, though I am as guilty anyone of not posting more.

!reallyshittycopper@lemmy.world has seen some posts lately but I wish it was more active.

!autoracing@crazypeople.online for motorsports.

I haven’t, but then again I don’t subscribe to News or Politics communities.

Oh, is it iOS only?

Same. I’m also interested

you get lemmy, mastodon, bluesky, threads all together

Wait, I’ve been waiting for an app like this. How does it support threaded link aggregation like Lemmy? Can you browse communities and feeds as you would any other Lemmy app, or does it display all scuffed like if you try to follow Lemmy communities on Mastodon/Misskey?

Was he not aware of the paradox of tolerance and the Nazi bar parable?

You’re only 10 years old?!

Don’t listen to them 2020 was like last year. Also the 90s was ten years ago don’t let anyone tell you different.

I was not aware of aggregatet.org, that’s a cool instance. An instance run by a democratic organisation is interesting. Left leaning too. Might have to make an account there actually.

Would be a great service for the community to have it up and running again.

I remember that map, it was a great resource. Like you say, visualizing defederations would be especially helpful.
