I like the game of seeing a dumb post and guessing whether the account is a six minute old kerryposter or seven day old drunk chapo.
I'm afraid some people got a life. I mean, shit, I'll be real with ya: It almost happened to me
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if some well connected lanyard dweeb secured a small amount of DoD funds to infiltrate and try to destroy the community. A lot of those little hobgoblins on r/neoliberal are legitimately connected to the NGO/think tank/nonprofit/government world and they fucking hated us more than anything.
of course none of the new accounts are organic: none of the accounts at all are organic. we're all just a bunch of russian trolls doing our 9-5 and posting commie propaganda
So the spammers are the result of some kind of KGB/GRU power struggle? I like it
why don't we turn off posting for accounts until they are at least like, I don't know, an hour old
Don’t have code in place for it yet. Current project they’re working on is rate limiting comments.
It’s all about treading the line between making it painfully inconvenient for spammers, while being unnoticeable for legitimate end-users.
If someone’s made an account, it’s safe to say they probably made it to interact. We don’t want to then say, right as they’re about to first engage, ‘now go wait an hour’.
yeah respect the hell out of that decision, just feel bad for the mods working overtime
It’s getting easier. Now the admins have a handy ‘nuke’ button on user profiles that erases all their posts. So instead of having to delete everything one-by-one, it’s just a button press and the spammer is back to making yet another account.
It’ll only get easier as mod tools and rate limiting increases. It’s a good test run for later.
Understandable. I chose my username with the intent of posting high quality ML and Maoist propaganda
That romanization of 国民党 will never stop torturing me. Wade-Giles is cursed.
The single most cursed romanization in English discourse will always be "Chiang Kai-shek".
I have no idea how to say that word outside of the literal roman translation of those letters.
He's called Jiǎng Jièshí in China, but in English he's known by that accursed Cantonese Romanization.
He's sometimes also known as Jiǎng Zhōngzhèng (蒋中正), which gets Wade-Giles'd as "Chiang Chung-cheng"
Tired: Wade-Giles
Wired: Hanyu Pinyin
Ascended Consciousness: Postal romanization
Reporting for duty for the Wrecker Vanguard with my downvotes at the ready o7
Maybe the real friends we made were the lib bot accounts we met along the way
What score do you need to post? I have an account but can't post
i feel like i just miss every single bit of drama since the discord lol.
I was cumdad on chapo subreddit. I just found this today and I'm so happy to be back
