As for the site itself, I don’t think it’s at the enshitification phase yet.

These kinds of public errors are almost always a hard drive failure.

If you’re wondering why Stanwich here is acting weird, it’s a common right-wing conspiracy in Canada that these unmarked graves are “unproven” because they were discovered with ground-radar instead of dug up. They won’t accept that there were deaths at these schools until they’re dug up and the remains positively identified, at which point, one assumes, they’ll accept that the attempt at cultural genocide that went on at these schools also had a side effect of mass graves.

There was a satirical addon back in this day that would change the Firefox name every time you opened it to like WaterHippo or SunJackal to make fun of this.

We should improve society somewhat.

I use the Spotify data via Every Noise at Once (https://everynoise.com/research.cgi?mode=name&name=) to gather band suggestions, but it is an annoying amount of work compared to having a script that sees all of my music and makes a playlist of 20+ songs using that data for me. Have not found a solution for that.

I respect a weird bit. Gotta keep people on their toes.

Maybe the admins can check their connection logs and tell us how many accounts (like me) are viewing on desktop versus mobile.

Nope, not blocked. There’s not actually that many of them, but they were one of the few established communities on Lemmy before the reddit explosion so I think they were disproportionately visible until everyone else started organically out-posting them.

I know that the RAM cache is just taking advantage of otherwise free RAM and will be dropped in favor of anything else, but it does stress me out a bit to see it “full” like that.

What are you cutting with this?

That’s an extremely good point: youtube actually does pay out to creators in a way that most other sites do not. Sure, they will often supplement this income with kofi or patreon, but if that youtube income stream dries up, a lot of the youtubers will simply call it quits instead of migrating to other platforms.

Alternatives to YouTube include Vimeo and the fediverse’s Peertube, but I am not sure they qualify as competitors.

Actually, the peer-sharing nature of Peertube makes me wonder if it could handle a sudden surge of users better than the rest of the fediverse.
