jacksfilms provided evidence of Sssniperwolf doxing him by travelling to his house and showing live video footage of it to her millions of subscribers, her stealing author’s content (and not crediting), muting their jokes and saying the jokes herself, reacting to the same clip more than once in a video, and cases of adding zero commentary (wasn’t even on screen).

jacksfilms created a second channel (jjjacksfilms) where he would watch her videos, provide value (he’d critique them and his viewers would learn how to improve their own content by what not to do), AND he’d research and try to include credits to all the original authors that Sssniperwolf was stealing from and didn’t credit herself. He has many videos showing more examples of Sssniperwolf’s shady behaviour.

Despite it being fair use for jacksfilms to critique her videos, Sssniperwolf doxed him.

2023-08-16 Sssniperwolf is getting worse. Here’s proof. (jacksfilms)

2023-10-14 Sssniperwolf came to our home last night. It’s time for YouTube to step in. (jacksfilms)

This impacts more than just cheaters. Rockstar apparently didn’t enable Proton support with Battleye meaning many Linux users can no longer play GTA Online. I don’t play GTAO but I am not looking forward to when I can no longer play Red Dead Online.

“As we mentioned previously, BattlEye on Proton integration has reached a point where all a developer needs to do is reach out BattlEye to enable it for their title. No additional work is required by the developer besides that communication.” source: https://store.steampowered.com/news/group/4145017/view/3104663180636096966

I was a child when I got Weird Al’s autograph when he performed at an antique car show with the audience all sitting on grass. He was super nice.

Better to create your own instance then.

It’s about reducing risk not eradicating it and there’s a huge difference in risk in being targeted for legal action due to hosting c/piracy (via caching/mirroring) than from a single piracy post in c/hellokitty.

Based on this source the issue has been fixed but the instance owners need to update to the latest version of Lemmy (v 0.18) which has the fix.

To see what version your Lemmy instance is on, scroll down to the bottom. E.g., I’m on Lemmy.World which is not on v 0.18 yet.

This is a known issue that has been fixed in Lemmy version 0.18. However some instances are still not updated to that newest version. Once your instance owner updates to version 0.18 this should no longer happen to you. Source

Good that you mentioned that. Personally, I think it’s a fair trade off for Logseq’s functionality.

Here are some links that discuss this including some scripts

• Logseq Markdown Guide
• Moving back and forth between ‘normal’ markdown and ‘bullet-world’ in logseq (Reddit)
• Logseq to Hugo Markdown (GitHub)
  • Currently doesn’t work with Embedded Blocks and Queries
• Flat Markdown to Logseq (GitHub)
• How to create a Logseq graph using existing Markdown files
• Feature request to use Markdown codeblocks for Logseq’s custom syntax

You know how you can breathe out warm/humid air to help clean eyeglasses? Dragons can do that but it’s much hotter and it’s fire.

I switched from Tiddlywiki to Logseq 3-4 months ago and LOVE Logseq.

Part of the reason I didn’t like Tiddlywiki was it kept everything in a single html file (including embedded images – eww) which made it annoying to move information around. (Note there is an option to run your own server which gives you extra flexibility, but I wasn’t interested in doing that.)

With Logseq, it’s separate markdown file per journal entry / wiki page. I like the addons that are available as well as the queries, e.g., {{query (todo doing)}} displays my do now tasks on my journal page.

I also don’t know anyone who uses a Brita filter. I prefer tap water and have never had to boil it but I’ve mainly lived in large cities in southern Ontario, Canada.

However for a few months when I lived in a very small town (< 250 people) and the house I rented got water from a well – at that point I drank only bottled water. The well water turned the shower wall orange so I really wasn’t keen to drink it.

That’s so dreamy that I created a feature request post linking to your comment. (I also did an @ you but not sure I did that right.)

Nice. I actually don’t use Arch Linux but rather Garuda (a derivative of Arch) so I still find the forum helpful. :)

Those were just two random examples. It would depend on whatever rules/guidelines each community owner makes.

Basically each community can have their own rules.

• Some communities may allow swearing and some may not
• Some may allow 18+ content and some may not
• etc.

To complicate things, you may also get different behaviour in different communities by the same user.

I think it’s really at the community level that culture can be formed as at the all post level, we all just have our different preferences and that’s fine. Also, our preferences may changed based on what we want/need in a day, e.g., one day we may want jokes while another day we may want tech support.

And so at the community level, community owner Bob may want no low-effort posts so he can put that into the rules, the mods can enforce that (be removing low-effort posts), the community can enforce it by only upvoting high-effort posts, and then a culture is formed which will draw other people who are into that.

And likewise the same for other culture/expectations.

Agreed. I think for now it’s up to each community owner to set the expectations for their community and for the mods to enforce it. And so like Twitter…the quality of your feed will be dictated by whom you follow or in Lemmy’s case which communities you join.

@angrylittlekitty@lemmy.one (comment link) had mentioned server costs from hosting duplicated content which was a great point.

I will also add, that people’s time is also a finite resource. And so we can all help by being respectful of the rules for each community (save moderators time) and additionally in communities where you are asking for help – avoid being a Help Vampire.

I think this is an excellent point (re: server overhead) and one I hadn’t considered. Thanks for sharing that.

I think it’s natural to want the majority of posts to meet one’s preferences but what one finds interesting/entertaining/etc. varies for each person.

I love diversity and choice and so I’m happy that each community can have their own individual rules/cultures and we can pick which communities we want to join. E.g., I wouldn’t expect the same behaviour/rules/culture in a shit posting community compared to an arch linux community, but I’m glad both types of communities and content will exist.

We can collectively choose what kinds of unique cakes to bake and we can choose which cakes to eat too. :D

Agreed, being positive shouldn’t be a rare thing for sure. However what people view as being positively impactful is different.

To me it is not helpful or desired to essentially lie to people by patting them all on the head with an upvote which is the equivalent of saying ‘good post’ even if the post added no value or worse sucked. While upvotes may provide a burst of dopamine to each user, it won’t do them any favours in the long run. And once they realise everyone is getting upvoted regardless of content, the upvotes will come to be viewed as meaningless anyway.

Furthermore, upvoting is the lowest effort and lowest impact option – If one wants to be more positively impactful and take more effort than just blindly upvoting every post, they could reply or PM to welcome new members to the community, direct them to helpful FAQs/resources, etc.

Furthermore there will be many communities which will all have their own values and expectations so if I’m in a community where mods put a rule to upvote every post, then sure if I want to participate in that community then I will do that. And if on the other end of the spectrum, if I’m in a community where mods have a rule for no low effort/value posts, if I want to stay in that community I will certainly only upvote posts that meet that rule. And of course those are both extreme cases and most communities will fall somewhere in the middle.

Anyway regardless of everything I’ve said, in the end how we add value to this platform is based on our unique values and preferences. It sounds like you are more connection-focused and I am more education/knowledge-focused. There is nothing wrong with either as there is nothing wrong with you upvoting all posts and inspiring others to join you. While I may have a different philosophy, I am also a huge fan of the need and benefit of diversity of thought and so I am quite glad you are a part of the community and that you want to make Lemmy a welcoming place – your kindness and care will help make the community better.
