If only there was an oompa-loompa failed businessman, aided by Russia to weaken his own country from within, who could take on such a mission - where could we find such an extraordinary person?

So the same people who have no problem about using other people’s copyrighted work, are now crying when the Chinese do the same to them? Find me a nano-scale violin so I can play a really sad song.

Thanks for the reply.

Naive question probably - which of these platforms would get a new creator the biggest audience?

At least this should finally put the ‘Chinese can’t innovate, they can only copy’ meme into retirement.

I’m glad this means AI’s power will become more decentralized internationally. Who would have thought it was China responsible for that?

Trumpism will pass, and gasoline cars go the way of the horse and buggy. The US will just take longer to catch up with the rest of the world’s progress.

What exactly was the issue with your verification system?

Numerous issues the site dev couldn’t fully understand after hours of investigating. We’ve switched off email verification until the Lemmy devs fix this in an update. Additionally 2FA is often broken too & awaiting a fix.

Yeah, that is a good solution. I’ve used the icon option to style just the main community. All the rest with a duller/smaller option delineates status.

I hope the Lemmy devs sort out email verification soon. We had so many problems we switched it off at futurology.today & went with limiting new sign-ups to a set amount per hour to combat bots instead.

Thanks, hadn’t thought of that, we’ll look at it.

Thanks. It seems email verification is what is causing most of the problems.

Thanks for this, I’m passing it on to the developer. We’ve been assuming email verification is important to combat bots/trolls. I’ll bring up the observation it isn’t widely used. It often seems to be something to do with problems we’ve been having.

You’ve reminded me there’s an error there (confusion with nomenclature) that I’ll go & fix.
