What is the update delay for Fediseer?

I don't know. It's not something I'm familiar with - it might just default to saying 'closed' if it doesn't have the data.

It's interesting that the obvious bot accounts on those instances were set up in mid-March last year, so I'm guessing that these are somebody's army that they've used before, but overplayed their hand when they turned it on the DonaldJMusk person. The admins can reasonably be blamed for setting up instances with open registrations and no protections and then forgetting about them, but I'd be wary of blaming them for being behind the attack directly. The 'nicole' person is unlikely to have used their own instance - it's probably just someone with the same MO as whoever owns the bots, finding and exploiting vulnerable instances.

lemmy.world recently updated from version 0.19.3 to 0.19.10. This change - for Lemmy communities to federate out posts with the community name as a hashtag - was introduced in 0.19.4, so that might be the other reason why this has only just become an issue for you.

The attacker seems to be the admin of those two instances. Both instances have their registrations closed.

The alternative theory would be that these instances had open registrations, but rightly closed registration down after the admins noticed the bots. chinese.lol is on 0.18.4 with an admin with a 2 year old account, lemmy.doesnotexist.club has an admin with a 1 year account, and it was also that instance that the 'nicole' person has used before. This downvote attack would need to be a long time in the planning for what you're suggesting to be true.

There's an open issue for that kind of thing here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/818

They've said similar things before - it's not like this show invented this problem. Whatever their half-arsed initiatives were before (typically things like sending a middle-aged woman to say "hey guys, don't be mean to girls, mmkay?") didn't work, because a real solution involves acknowledging the wider role that society plays, and spending real money in places that aren't London.

So instead they'll just blame boys - recognise that a teenage boy with low self-esteem is a dangerous thing, and give them one more thing to feel bad about. Tell them they should be different once, and ignore all the ways in which adults continue to encourage or discourage the ways they currently are.

And instead of raising places in the North out of deprivation, they're doing the cheapest thing imaginable. Streaming a show to school kids that explicitly calls out how much modern teaching has been reduced to playing videos for them. Genius.

If you don't already know, loads of the images attached to your posts were deleted by accident: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5560

There's a user who cross-posts lots of stuff from ML, and when the admin banned him, it nuked your images too (because both your posts and his posts were pointing to the same image).

It's usually best to given 'em the benefit of the doubt, as a bad performance by a child actor is often more due to the director than the kid.

The show runner for Mad Men cast his own son as 'Glen', and that kid was a terrible actor (he's an adult now obvs, so I consider his performance fair game for criticism).

I don't think that blog author is male, btw.

This show was a bit more kitchen-sinky than shows I'd normally watch - it reminded me a bit of stuff by Ken Loach or Mike Leigh, but I liked Adolescence a lot more than their films (even though I realise that their output is highly regarded).

I've seen a fair bit of negativity about it in these kinds of online spaces, so I imagine that I'm going against the grain by saying that I'd recommend it. It's best to know as little about it as possible beforehand though - not just about the story beats, but also don't buy into the hype about it and expect too much of it.

It's harder to detect, but wildly optimistic if they think that people are going to manually type URLs out. It feels like this latest manoeuvre is just to score a win in the arms race against them.

The point (to the extent there was one) was to move past any gender-role discussion and accept the picture at face value. Even when it's cold, I've found that it has to be really cold to not find too many layers on my legs to be oppressive after any amount of activity.
