jacksfilms provided evidence of Sssniperwolf doxing him by travelling to his house and showing live video footage of it to her millions of subscribers, her stealing author's content (and not crediting), muting their jokes and saying the jokes herself, reacting to the same clip more than once in a video, and cases of adding zero commentary (wasn't even on screen).
jacksfilms created a second channel (jjjacksfilms) where he would watch her videos, provide value (he'd critique them and his viewers would learn how to improve their own content by what not to do), AND he'd research and try to include credits to all the original authors that Sssniperwolf was stealing from and didn't credit herself. He has many videos showing more examples of Sssniperwolf's shady behaviour.
Despite it being fair use for jacksfilms to critique her videos, Sssniperwolf doxed him.

2023-08-16 Sssniperwolf is getting worse. Here's proof. (jacksfilms)
2023-10-14 Sssniperwolf came to our home last night. It's time for YouTube to step in. (jacksfilms)
This impacts more than just cheaters. Rockstar apparently didn't enable Proton support with Battleye meaning many Linux users can no longer play GTA Online. I don't play GTAO but I am not looking forward to when I can no longer play Red Dead Online.
"As we mentioned previously, BattlEye on Proton integration has reached a point where all a developer needs to do is reach out BattlEye to enable it for their title. No additional work is required by the developer besides that communication." source: https://store.steampowered.com/news/group/4145017/view/3104663180636096966
DM: "Alright. Everyone else, please make up and write down two things about this player's backstory and let me know. Do not tell each other what you wrote. I'll choose which ones I'll use plus may throw in a couple myself" evil laugh
I was a child when I got Weird Al's autograph when he performed at an antique car show with the audience all sitting on grass. He was super nice.
Not only will I not spend money at Loblaws stores this month, I will also take $750 away from them by using my points.
Even better is a promotion starts tomorrow that if I spend $60 worth of points, they'll add $20 worth back onto my balance.
I break the spaghetti into 3 pieces before cooking it as then it's much easier to deal with. :)
Yeah I was going to try the app based on all they hype but I noped out based on the trackers and that you have to accept all those permissions regardless if you pay. A dev saying they won't use the data of paid users -- that isn't the kind of thing I would expect to be enforceable when legally you've already signed permissions for the data to be collected/used.
Both of you rock. I love Lemmy. :)
That's so dreamy that I created a feature request post linking to your comment. (I also did an @ you but not sure I did that right.)
I think this is an excellent point (re: server overhead) and one I hadn't considered. Thanks for sharing that.
I think it's natural to want the majority of posts to meet one's preferences but what one finds interesting/entertaining/etc. varies for each person.
I love diversity and choice and so I'm happy that each community can have their own individual rules/cultures and we can pick which communities we want to join. E.g., I wouldn't expect the same behaviour/rules/culture in a shit posting community compared to an arch linux community, but I'm glad both types of communities and content will exist.
We can collectively choose what kinds of unique cakes to bake and we can choose which cakes to eat too. :D
While I can appreciate wanting to help others feel good about posting, here are my concerns (and some solutions at the end to consider):
If most posts were upvoted blindly, it would make post ratings meaningless as well as the Hot feature. I prefer "good" posts to rise to the top.
If we upvote low quality/low effort posts, then that is what we are encouraging users to produce.
Low quality posts especially from Help Vampires can be a huge drain on the community and moderators. E.g., No one wants to see the same question asked every few posts.
New users may at first be drawn to seeing the number of posts...but if the first x number of posts are all garbage, we may lose potential users.
Personally, I will not upvote posts just to make new people more confident. However, here are some alternative solutions:
People can learn to feel comfortable posting in certain communities that are either smaller or where quality is less expected. E.g., if the future Arch Linux community is like their forum, they are very strict and you'll get worse than a down vote if you don't follow the guidelines in How To Ask Questions The Smart Way and had first RTFM (read the manual) and STFW (searched the web) and have put in great effort and be truly stuck before posting.
Before downvoting, we could look at the user's profile and some of their posts and if they seem very new, we could cut them some slack and/or send them a PM instead of downvoting.
Have you thought about contacting Louis Rossmann? He created an extensive video guide on how to self host using FOSS. Perhaps he'd be willing to highlight your survey to his over 2 million subscribers.
