Also in Aus here, using ISP DNS, not blocked. I think what you generally find is that most ISP’s just don’t do the DNS blocks, even if they’re required to. Like you said, it’s very easily circumvented and also it just doesn’t lead to any measurable outcome other than the ISP customer’s dissatisfaction in some cases. It’s probably more profitable to retain the customers and deal with whatever regulatory blowback.

Can you quantify the difference? Far as I can tell, there’s just an imaginary line where software becomes AI just because the logic filtering it depends on to operate is sufficiently complex

Aesthetics are the same bogeyman excuse used to justify really any significant change in a phone since IP ratings first came in with. I recall back when USB-C was first showing up in smartphones, there was a time where simultaneously some manufacturers were pushing for the change and others trying to push back on it, with both groups citing aesthetic reasons.

It's not on this list because it's not a lemmy instance, it is just linked with lemmy via the fediverse. There's a separate list for kbin instances here: https://kbin.fediverse.observer/list

Nearly 40k users on kbin.social

The resistance calculation is very complex, check out kripparrian's videos on it if you want a full explanation but effectively perfect resistance rolls are still like 100x worse than average rolls on stats like damage reduction from close. For late game build optimisation, any resistance roll on any item is the worst stat you can roll. Coincidentally the two classes that build resistances off their main int stat, sorceror and necro, are apparently the worst performing classes in endgame

That's the box I used too. I looked into it a bit further and I think possibly the issue is the community/magazine you were searching for had not been subscribed to before by a user on your home instance. In that case the instance has no index for that community/magazine and you need to manually point it toward the instance it's on. But once this is done the community info is cached in the search for any user on that instance looking for that community later on. I guess once the ecosystem is mature then provided you're on a relatively populated instance and the community you're searching for isn't too niche, you could just go to the community search first and it'd work most of the time.

They show up fine in the communities search for me. https://i.imgur.com/iHO4wIP.png

Why does reddit consolidating all nsfw content delivery under its website and first party app suggest they want to stop NSFW content?

Reddit's rise to prominence is in part a result of emphasis on facilitating the discourse Facebook used to be a place for. Facebook as a venue for discourse has gradually ended over the past decade or so, for the majority that still use it it is now just a centralised email server for sending event invitations.

No one has global Reddit traffic data except for Reddit - market estimation methods can't really account for a deviation from the norm on such a short timeframe. Regardless, it's the users that matter that are gone, we agree on that. The same ones that made Reddit the safehaven for Digg users to begin with.

I don't think Reddit is going the way of the Dodo, it's Reddit as a platform for discourse I'm on my soapbox about. Probably the largest exchange of ideas in human history happened on it. But the writing is now on the wall, to continue posting you first need to overcome the internal conflict of putting stock in a platform whose killer use case was predicated on user goodwill now burned. That itself is enough of an obstacle to make folks disengage, skewing the userbase, post quality declines, and then it's just another cesspool. All of this takes time though
