It was started by one of the grandfathers of computing/the web/the internet, but I'll be damned if I can remember what it was called and my DuckDuckGo-Foo is failing me today.

Take people with low empathy and train them up in psychological manipulation and covert operations. Color me shocked that this happened.

In the interest of moderation transparency, we've had a couple of reports about this post.

Here's my thinking about it:


Community purpose

  • This post is more political that would ordinarily be seen on AskLemmy, ⬇️
  • it is an open-ended thought provoking question, ⬆️
  • it is generating healthy and informative discussion and debate. ⬆️

Rule 1:

  • the post is not trolling, sealioning, racist or toxic, ⬆️
  • the topic is contentious but seems to be worded politely, ⬆️
  • the author has voluntarily amended the question to be more sensitive in their framing. ⬆️

Rule 3:

  • it does not fit the definition of spam or astroturfing ⬆️

On balance, I'm going to let the post remain up.

I had to help give CPR to someone recently, and their eyes were partly open. Got me wondering whether they were partly conscious while I was doing compressions.

Sounds like another reason not to use Chrome.

Over 70 firefighters and 38 fire trucks are on the scene of the ongoing blaze at the Temple Court Apartments, according to Miami Fire Rescue.

A massive three-alarm fire broke out at a Miami apartment building Monday morning and an employee of the building was found shot at the scene, officials said.

The fire at the Temple Court Apartments erupted at around 8:15 a.m. on the third floor and is still ongoing, Miami Fire Rescue said a little after noon.

"On arrival, multiple residents were rescued and evacuated," Miami Fire Rescue said in post on X. Some were rescued from their apartments and others from their balconies.

I believe this is a thing in Quebec.

from https://culturalatlas.sbs.com.au/canadian-culture/canadian-culture-naming


In Quebec, the Civil Code requires parents to assign their child only one surname (either a single or compound surname) derived from their respective surnames. Compound surnames may not have more than two parts, with or without hyphens. Thus, a couple named Joseph BOUCHARD-TREMBLAY and Marie DION-ROY could give their children the surnames:

  • BOUCHARD
  • TREMBLAY
  • DION
  • ROY
  • BOUCHARD-TREMBLAY
  • DION-ROY
  • BOUCHARD-DION
  • BOUCHARD-ROY, and so on.

In Quebec, the law provides that spouses retain their respective birth names when they are married.

I thought I'd give a quick update on the efforts to combat the spam wave.

Clearly someone wants to make Lemmy a less appealing place to be. It's a deliberate attempt to spoil the good thing that we have going here. l'll leave it up to you to contemplate the motives and timing of this attack on the fediverse.

So what are the Mods doing, and what can you do to help?

The most obvious one is that we are deleting the spam as soon as it is seen. We are checking more often, but as volunteers we can't be on Lemmy 24/7. We also have some automated checking going on. This is working fairly well, but occasionally some legitimate posts are being removed. These get restored eventually, but sometimes it can take a while for this to be actioned. If this happens to you, please be patient.

As users, we can help out by reporting spam posts and by posting quality content. Contributing to our community is the best way to make sure that it remains a safe, interesting and thought-provoking place.

Continue to contribute meaningful content too. :)

Hi OP. I'm sorry that you were exposed to CP. Thankfully I didn't see it before it was purged, but I'm sure it was distressing, especially for someone who was a victim.

I feel that you post is important, but this is not really the appropriate community to raise it. Can you please re-post in support@Lemmy.world?

(…) cops have yet to ID a suspect.

Surely the could do it digitally?

It's almost as if stiffing his previous lawyers has made people wary. Strange.
