Yeah, it's just something like "Tell us why you want to join this instance". If the answer is "to promote my content" or "qq", for example, they don't get approved.

It's done by the Lemmy software.

We require applications, and most applications we get are extremely low effort and we don't approve them. If you have open registrations you'll be doing a lot of moderation for spam.

Run the software that scans images for CSAM. It's not perfect but it's something. If your instance freely hosts whatever without any oversight, word will spread and all of a sudden you're hosting all sorts of bad stuff. It's not technically illegal if you don't know about it, but I personally don't want anything to do with that.

That's really interesting, thanks.

Long time no see.

I'm impressed that the splash/frag levels are already approaching 50% considering Roam Two hasn't been out for very long.

Fair enough.

Does Wikipedia allow someone to tag themselves as a primary source, or does it have to be published elsewhere first?

Like if someone had specific firsthand knowledge that Elvis preferred a certain brand of Peanut Butter, but that tidbit isn't published anywhere, how would that work?

Sorry for not researching this stuff on my own, I'm just curious, but not curious enough to go figure it out on my own.

Nice shave with an excellent soap base. This is the older base called Canard.

Does every bit of info have a published source?

What sort of requirements does Wikipedia have for published info, I wonder. There's a lot of wrong info published in books and online.

I'm not a lawyer, but since Lemmy instances aren't "professional or commercial activity", I doubt a GPDR request would be applicable.

Some people who run instances might have the ability to do some sort of database export for a specific user, but the vast majority of us are just barely technical enough to keep Lemmy running and updated.

The last time I touched our database I accidentally wiped out all data older than 1 month and had to restore a backup.

I think we do have the option to remove a user by purging them through the UI, but an export isn't an option at this point.

Part of the reason I tried it was for speed. It seemed to go faster than dialing in a proper load.

I'm using the same soap while traveling, which lends itself to little mini experiments.

Today was "would it work to load a bit of soap for each pass instead of doing one big load"?

The answer is yes. I'm of the opinion that's how people did it in the old days, and that's based solely on my experience using modern Williams Mug Soap... Hardly a good reason to come to this conclusion, but Williams works well with this technique.
