+1 to waistline. Also the dev team is pretty friendly for contributors

So you mean like parameterized queries, which exist?

but why

Except that’s still a SQL dialect, not JSX. There’s no need to make this JSX.

Bold of you to assume they don’t do that with the locally processed data too

That’s what I’m hoping - we can’t just burn down any community with spam

Replace a site with CSAM and you’ll find it’s not a site you’ll want to go to in the first place.

Are you being intentionally dense or do you not understand that it’s my point? If someone can flood lemmy with CSAM so easily that the only way to stop it is a site shutdown, then there are not sufficient mitigation measures in place.

I think commenters are getting a little uppity

What praytell the fuck do you mean by this term specifically

I have a recurring donation to the instance, but that’s aside the point.

The developers who build lemmy aren’t able to put in CSAM blocking code. That’s not how this works.

They absolutely can, and every forum under the sun has tools and extensions to help with this. Fucking 4chan has code specifically dedicated to deal with CSAM. You have no clue what you’re talking about.

Oh no! Users can’t read lemmyshitpost and now the world is ending.

Replace this with !technology@lemmy.world, or !selfhosted@lemmy.world, or !announcements@lemmy.world. “Oh no, users can’t read the entire site” yes that is the definition of the end of the site.

You’re not seeing that this isn’t a lemmyshitpost issue, it’s an “any popular community on lemmy” issue. Snarkily taking potshots at lemmyshitpost as a community doesn’t change it.

Turning off the community is a viable option

It’s not “not an option”, it’s the last resort. It’s like saying that your only option to seeing a roach in your apartment is to burn the whole building down. Because doing it means you don’t have a community anymore, and without communities the site has no purpose.

Are you seriously conflating my position with arguing that CSAM should be allowed?

It’s a hard problem but it absolutely is an existential risk. Spam is an existential risk. A platform that collapses under spam will either remain too small to be irrelevant or collapse from unusability. I’m sorry but I don’t think your response completely grasps the number of forums, social media sites, wikis, etc. that have been completely crushed by spam.

I hope the devs take this seriously as an existential threat to the fediverse. Lemmyshitpost was one of the largest communities on the network both in AUPH and subscribers. If taking the community down is the only option here, that’s extremely insufficient and bodes death for the platform at the hands of uncontrolled spam.

no periods in 50 years

Should see an obgyn about that

Unfortunately the company is one of two major parcel carriers in this case.

Don’t worry, it’s a mandatory team building exercise. 😉

Now give me a raise so I can afford to see the METS BABY YEAH THE METS

You think that way because they’ve taught you to think that way. Instead, you should be very plain about your pay expectations. If someone starts getting on your case for being “pay motivated” or some other horseshit HR wageyganda idea, here’s what you say.

“I hear what you’re saying, and certainly the main drivers in my career goals are broadening my skillset and achieving excellence. However, my life and family goals operate in a capitalist society reliant on me growing my compensation year over year. If this job is unprepared to meet my life goals, then let’s be explicit about that so I can reevaluate my plan for my household and decide whether this position is a fit.”

Logically they should.

No, they shouldn’t. The money supply is unaffected by discharges.

So in your idea of good economics it doesn’t matter for inflation if debt of NxM total gets discharged per month or of NxK total per month where K is much bigger than M?

Discharge does introduce short-term shocks but it’s not the doomsday scenario you’re painting it to be. We did it in the 1800s and it was mostly fine compared to the regular bank panics before the greenback was adopted.

I’m saying your statement is bad economics. Debts get discharged all the time and they have no impact on inflation. It’s called the Bankruptcy System and it’s been a part of American economic reality since the mid-1800s.
