And how many people answer that on Sunday night?

What I'm getting at is a major website has at least a skeleton staff that can do something, even if that's just pulling the plug.

I don't even reply to most work texts after hours unless it's someone saying they have to use sick leave. I don't expect people hosting Lemmy as a hobby to be on call 24/7.

But I hope afterwards they're transparent about what happened and how they're going to stop it from happening again. If not, it's easy to hop instances

What impact?

As long as you dont go on lemmy.world, it's not going to redirect you to all the stupid websites.

And I doubt whatever they're posting (if they're posting anything) is getting upvoted, so you won't see it anywhere else.

And where are you getting "malware" from?

People are acting like it's some crazy hack, and not the 4chan rejects from exploding heads finally guessing an admins password a week after they got defederated. And after all that time chasing the mailman, they had no idea what to do when they guessed it

But this does highlight an issue with instances. I doubt the handful of admins know each other. Like, maybe an email, but for the most part if shit like this happens during "off hours" it might be a while before the top admin even knows there's an issue

I mean, it's not for purely altruistic reasons...

Lead fucks people up and slowly turns them into rage addicted assholes.

We got enough of those these days, I'd like the amount to go down over the next couple decades. So I never skip a chance to talk about the dangers of lead exposure

The good news is it's not something that really changes.

Just test your home once, it's not like you need to constantly monitor it.

I boil mine because I like the way it tastes–it’s sweeter

That's actually a really bad sign...

The most likely thing to make water taste sweet is lead, and heating up water with lead makes it even sweeter.

And that's 100% a problem you need to look out for in America.

Even if they do, every article about Twitter comes with:

Twitter responded to inquiries with the poop emoji, as they do every time.

This is worse, because reddit is saying if anything was wrong, they would have responded. So it looks like reddit just agrees with anything that doesn't get a response.

How funny would it be if it leads to a shit show where actual journalists start demanding their fair share of advertising generated off their articles?

Reddit can beat mods because of money, but these giant media conglomerates both have money and are hurting their own advertising numbers because 99% of redditors never read the article. They have motivation and opportunity to get legal

Why is half of it asking for investments?

Wouldn't it be a better idea to just link the actual Daily Beast article

Pretty sure they're out of air by now.

Even if they made it to the surface, you can't open it from the inside. There's no rescue mission, just recovery

They navigated by getting text messages from the ship...

That's fucking insane when you're going miles under the sea

[-] Givesomefucks@reddthat.com 8 points 1 year ago

Also, there's no way to open it from the inside, they're bolted in.

So even if they surfaced, they'll still run out of air if they're not found soon.

Twitter will abide by the law but will not go further, Musk said during the interview. He claimed hate speech had decreased by 30 percent since he took over, even as Lapix presented him with statistics saying the opposite — including a study by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue exposing a 105 percent increase in antisemitic posts.

Pressed by the interviewer, the billionaire, a self-proclaimed freedom of expression absolutist, said the definition of hate speech shouldn't be too broad or it could lead to censorship. Shown tweets rejoicing about the migrant boat disaster off Greece last week, Musk conceded they were "distasteful" but should remain online as long as they're not illegal.

His definition of hate speech is just shit he disagrees with.

He agrees with anti-lgtbq and antisemitism, so to him, that's not hate speech
