Not sure how; it's also not by defederation date, otherwise feddit.org would be at or near the bottom of the list for dbzer0.

Apparently gross register tonnage is exclusively a unit of volume, used in measuring ship capacity.

People need homes, schools, hospitals, businesses, and infrastructure, not a football stadium.

I'm guessing they geoblock Europe to avoid needing to comply with the GDPR.

The best tool I know of is the Federation Checker, but something like it should definitely should be built into clients.

Notably, Beehaw is defederated from .world and sh.itjust.works, while dbzer0, quokk.au, and anarchist.nexus are defederated from feddit.org.

Overall, I'd say that most of the downvotes are people disagreeing with the article's core criticism of Mozilla's AI language translation using scraped content; then people see the excessive crossposts and assume you're a spammer and mass-downvote them.

Given that !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com is the second largest Lemmy community, it's clear from the start that piracy-bashing articles are going to have mixed reception at the best of times. In addition, the article places an undue emphasis on Mozilla's practices rather than the industry as a whole.

Ultimately, the article should have been half as long and give readers a clear solution at the end, such as instead using a Firefox fork to make opt-out the default. While not likely to be as effective as an AI trained with non-permissive license content, such an explanation at the end could also have recommend an open source translation AI extension trained solely with permissive license content.

In the future, perhaps try posting your article once in the most popular relevant community, and if people respond well, then crosspost it a maximum of two or three times (3-4 posts total). More than that and people will think you're spamming.

Lemmy does need to get better about being welcoming to newcomers, so apologies for the rough start; if you have any questions, feel free to send me a message. 👍

Hopefully after kicking out the 30 Hungary-equivalent states that would obstruct any and all progressive policies.

Be more selective with your crossposting in the future or people will downvote you for spamming.

The Threadiverse may have too many tankies and not enough active communities, but with Reddit becoming greedier and greedier by the day, it's the only viable alternative.

Blocking .ml, Hexbear, and Lemmygrad solves a lot of the tankie problem, but it could certainly still use more people to support non-news or politics communities.
