LemmyWorld forced to close shitposting community due to CSAM spammers
Hello everyone, We unfortunately have to close the !lemmyshitpost community for the time being. We have been fighting the CSAM (Child Sexual Assault Material) posts all day but there is nothing we can do because they will just post from another instance since we changed our registration policy. We k...
They also shut down registration
Whoever is spamming CP deserves the woodchipper
You're viewing part of a thread.
Take a look at their liberapay page if you don’t believe me.
I took a look. "Lemmy receives US$392.03 per week from 287 patrons."
enough to likely make a solid monthly income.
Approximately $850 per month each. Is that a solid income? Lots of developers are making $850 per day!
When they are actively ignoring safety features
The license agreement clearly places this onus on the instance operators. If they cannot commit to those terms, why did they accept the agreement? It is not like someone holds a gun to your back and forces you to start a Lemmy instance.
I'm sorry for not being more focused on being nicer to the devs of lemmy after problems that were discussed nearly a month ago being ignored have caused me and other instance admins to have to deal with the stress of dealing with CSAM federating into our instances and having to witness that content in order to remove it.
That is sarcasm by the way. In comparison to how I actually feel currently, I could be a lot more indignant about this but I am fighting that urge as it is not productive.
Nothing cares whether you present yourself as being nice or not. Information has no feelings.
But the Lemmy devs clearly pushed that responsibility downstream under the contractual terms of using the software. Maybe that made the agreement a bad deal, but nobody else had to ever agree to the bad terms. It seems you did agree to it. Why?
What the contract also allowed, however, was the ability for you to modify the software as you see fit. That part is a good deal. It seems the solution is staring you right in the face. Since you're already committed, why spend your typing here and not in your favourite code editor?
They also get funding from a dutch organisation
your name is geert so i trust this unquestioningly
850/day? That's crack smoking money. Where do I sign up for this?!
For the record that's sarcasm and the comment is bullshit. The average salary for a developer in the USA is 140,000$, https://www.salary.com/research/salary/listing/senior-software-developer-salary
The comment's math would mean developers are making roughly 306,000/year. More than double the actual average.
In fairness, 392.03 a week averages out to 18,817.44 which is also not in that range.

Yes, developers at places like Google are making that much. Not the average developer, but nobody said the average developer.
Correct no one did, you however said "lots of developers" even if you added up all of developers at the FAANG companies you still would not have an appreciable percentage of the developers in the US workforce let alone the world. So no. Not lots of developers. A very small few. Truthfully probably even fewer than that because not even Google wants to pay 300k per developer only to qualified/experienced developers.

Hmm. I've never taken "lots" to be a proportional term before. The dictionary uses "a lot of people at the gala last night" as an example of how "lots" is often used.
What kind of gala is attended by an appreciable percentage of the world's population? Words can mean whatever want them to mean, of course, but in terms of common usage, surely it implies something like hundreds of people at best?
850 X 5 X 52 = 221,000.
Strange to add weekends into your maths.
I did 850 x 30 x 12 usual salary math. But I was also sleep deprived so perhaps not the best choice.
