I thought it was good, though I'm not big into family movies so I was a bit bored. Still, it had great animation and design, great voice acting, and a lot of fun moments. I really liked the aesthetic too, super unique.

I picked Rammy for the name and the sidebar:

Just another Lemmy instance. We've got a cool mascott though! Open to everyone.

Why trust some Big Tech corporation to host your data when some random geek can do it? All thanks to the power of the Fediverse!

I believe it is, yeah. I hear kbin.social's servers are absolutely swamped right now and having lots of issues, so I don't want to contribute to that, but I'm probably going to make a kbin instance my home soon. Does anyone know where to find a list of instances kbin.social has defederated?

Well if it's a machine that's 100% correct in its predictions obviously I'd take box B since that'd be a guaranteed billion - but assuming it's fallible, I'd go with A+B. A million dollars is plenty of money, I don't even know what I'd do with a billion.

Yeah good point. I think these particular bot instances are being way too obvious to do any major damage - not when it's as simple as it is to defederate them - but what'll happen when it's not 100k bots on one instance, but 1000 instances with 100 bots apiece?

Let's hope Lemmy gets the tools needed to deal with this. I wonder how Mastodon does it? They've been around a while, I'm sure they've had similar issues.

That's worrying. Though at least it seems they're mostly confined to a few particular instances. Defederating is a great tool that will definitely mitigate the worst of it, but at the same time this is uncharted water - there's no real way of knowing what exactly will happen in a large scale attack.

Just creating accounts isn't an attack, but it's going to suck when there actually is one. I wonder if they'll try to be subtle and use AI or recycled content, or if they'll just use the accounts for spam or DDoS?

'Subscribed' is called 'Frontpage' in the app, you can find it in the sidebar. Edit - oops, looks like kuro_neko beat me!
