Bump
If you want a grounding in the basics of how computer exploits work, getting your hands on a copy of Hacking: The Art of Exploitation by Jon Erickson is a decent choice. It's an old book, and things have advanced significantly since then, but the stuff it goes over is still the core of how hacking actually works.
We need to get the other mod of that comm banned on here, that person's mod actions are still federating at the moment
I showed up in one of their "evil tankie" screenshots, I'm so proud 
Wait are you saying the pigpoopballs drawing is a Republican/transphobe/"unhealed" person (lmao), or that I am? Much funnier if it's the latter
Lmao, tell me you know nothing about Hexbear without telling me you know nothing about Hexbear.
I could argue with you, but that would be an unpleasant waste of time. Instead, behold an image depicting an item of value equal to that of your pontification:
As a dork sandwich, I feel personally attacked
Due to the particulars of the Active sort algorithm, bumping stops being very effective sometime before 12 hours after the post is made, which a bot would not counteract.
That said, I have long been planning to put together a basic bumper-bot that would, upon being triggered in a thread, reply every 10 to 30 mins (not sure what the optimal frequency is) to keep the thread bumped for a certain amount of time (also not entirely sure on this number, but overall duration would be at least a few hours).
This doesn't keep threads around longer than they can last now, but will be more consistent than human bumpers, and will allow mods to ban the other bots from the comm, since their instant replies don't really affect the ranking at all (it's based on the timestamp of the most recent comment, nothing else).
My initial instinct was to read it the first way, and a look into their posting history confirms this, I think.
do you think there should be a weekly limit on amount requested?
No, users' needs will often vary; limits like this will cause problems.
do you think there should be a weekly limit on amount of posts?
This may make sense, but the Active sort definitely incentivizes posts every 6 to 8 hours instead, and I don't see an easy way around that, unfortunately. I defer to others' opinions on this one.
do you think mods should keep track of amounts received via user reports after donating?
On the one hand this sounds like a decent system; on the other hand the potential for abuse does exist. But if people want to try it out, and mods are okay with doing their part, I'd be willing to participate.
do you think we change the name from mutual_aid to emergency aid?
Not really, it kinda seems pedantic to me.
do you think we should allow meta posts?
Yes; otherwise there is no way to criticize bad actors, and I am of the opinion that the recent meta post, which I believe prompted this one, was valuable and helpful to the community.

So Lemmy.ca Has Also Defederated Hexbear
(lemmy.ca)
Looks like we upset a few too many 
residents over at lemmy.ca. I didn't see a post about this on here, so I thought I'd go ahead and make one.
2 of 4 reasons why are basically just PPB lol, and a third is for calling for executions of landlords
