9·11 months agoThat’s not busy work. Busy work, as explained in the article, is work that doesn’t really accomplish anything, like re-folding towels that have already been folded. Or as I’ve had to do before, sweep a perfectly spotless sidewalk. Data validation is valid work.
Only if you file suit and the court finds it enforceable. Sometimes they say you can sue anyway.
They should fix that, because it’s certainly degrading the experience on Lemmy. A good number of these replies have the tags longer than their actual content.
We’re already at that point. Even recipe sites, which I’ll give the benefit of assuming aren’t already ML-generated, are already so similar, boring, and irrelevant that nobody reads them.
In the past few months, I’ve also noticed a lot of sites showing up in my Google search results purporting to be relevant or answer my question, but when I actually read them they are also completely useless. For example, I couldn’t figure out how to take a friend’s Instagram story and reshare it to my own if I wasn’t tagged in it. Several pages were titled to look useful, but all of them gave only alternatives.

If you have vote brigading, ban them, take it up with the instance admin, and defederate, in that order.
Big trucks aren’t necessarily all that heavy. The bed is entirely empty space, remember.
Yeah but that’s a waste of light. Why use a floodlight when you can use a laser?
A lot of this stems from instances running old versions with loose registration requirements, like no captcha. This is a problem in a federated system because there’s no barrier for a banned user to just jump to another instance.
Perhaps it would be a good idea if, when Lemmy has anti-spam measures implemented like rate-limiting and captchas for registration, it disabled federation with instances that are at a lower version, to motivate small instances to upgrade and enable the new features.
