Cake day: Aug 12, 2022
I just want to say that, as myself having been Lemmy’s silent watchdog, I am happy to see you stand up to all this stuff before it (amongst the ongoing admin ruckus) starts spiralling out of hand. I have experience with the chans and darknet underbellies of the internet, so I can lend advice from my experience whenever needed. (I do not care about any mod or admin powers.)
I want to see this thing grow.

Its been a long time coming 🥳 .
Excerpt from the link:
## Major Changes
### Language Tags
Content can now be tagged to indicate the language it is written in. These tags can be used to filter content, so that you only see posts in languages which you actually understand. Instances and communities can also specify which languages are allowed, and prevent posting in other languages.
In the future this will also allow for integrated translation tools.
### Comment trees
Lemmy has changed the way it stores comments, in order to be able to properly limit the comments shown to a maximum depth.
Included are proper comment links (`/comment/id`), where you can see its children, a count of its hidden children, and a _context_ button to view its parents, or the post.
### Featured posts
Admins and mods can now "feature" (this used to be called "sticky" ala reddit) posts to the top of either a community, or the top of the front page. This makes possible announcement and bulletin-type posts.
Special thanks to @makotech for adding this feature.
### Federation
Lemmy users can now be followed. Just visit a user profile from another platform like Mastodon, and click the follow button, then you will receive new posts and comments in the timeline.
Votes are now federated as private. This prevents other platforms from showing who voted on a given post, and it also means that Lemmy now counts votes from Mastodon.
This release also improves compatibility with Pleroma. If you previously had trouble interacting between Pleroma and Lemmy, give it another try.
We've extracted the main federation logic into its own library, [activitypub-federation-rust](https://github.com/LemmyNet/activitypub-federation-rust). It is open source and can be used by other projects to implement Activitypub federation, without having to reinvent the wheel. The library helps with handling HTTP signatures, sending and receiving activities, fetching remote objects and more.
### Other changes
- Admins can now purge content and pictures from the database.
- Mods can _distinguish_ a comment, "stickying" it to the top of a post. Useful for mod messages and announcements.
- Number of new / unread comments are now shown for each post.
- Lemmy now automatically embeds videos from Peertube, Youtube and other sites which provide an embed link via Opengraph attribute.
- You can give your site "taglines", short markdown messages, which are shown at the top of your front page. Thanks to @makotech for adding this.
- You can now report private messages.
- Most settings have been moved from the config file into the database. This means they can be updated much easier, and apply immediately without a restart.
- When setting up a new Lemmy instance, it doesn't create a default community anymore. Instead this needs to be done manually.
- Admins can choose to receive emails for new registration applications.

I have been terrible and have hidden an alt account on lemmygrad!
Spring is coming up soon in a few months, and that also means Easter. And Easter means Easter eggs!
Anyway. As you might have guessed, your goal in this Easter egg hunt will be to find out my alt account!
You could win a Steam game out of it! (Not any steam game but a specific one as I have some keys, but it's good I promise).
Here's an FAQ to help you out during this hunt:
# Why are you doing this?
I got the idea from last time Wisconcom tried to infiltrate (not the discussion from a few days ago, even earlier) but never got around to it. I want to show him how easy it is to actually make a convincing alt if you put some effort into it, which he never cares to do.
But I have full faith in my comrades to figure out my alt account in a timely manner!
I must let you know that I taken care to make this alt account as ethically as I could, considering the circumstances. I can't say much more at this time though.
# How do I participate?
Everyone can participate, except the admins as they know which account I have hidden around if they look into our account requests.
You will have to rely on your sleuthing skills as well as discuss with your comrades (edit: forgot to finish my sentence); As of now I will not be replying to DMs about the alt, but this could change too.
When you feel that you have collected sufficient clues, drop a comment in the thread below!
# How do I win?
This is where it gets interesting. To win, you must not only correctly identify the account, but also explain your reasoning.
Then, you must make that reasoning known in the comments below -- that's right, everything you say can be used by anyone else to help them so make sure you're right!
This means you also can't just spam account names until you get the right one.
The first person to figure out the correct account wins! But if you win, you get to decide _who_ should win the key to the game, it doesn't have to be you. That way, you all work collaboratively like communists instead of filthy individualistic capitalists. (we can change this if you also collectively decide it's a bad idea).
There might be runner-up winners (2nd, 3rd place etc) as I had originally set aside one key for the game but I still have some that people apparently don't want to take. How ungrateful!
# What do I win?
I don't want to spoil the game just yet but it has good reviews, it's a good time waster and it came out not long ago on Steam.
# What if the hunt is too hard?
In the spirit of an egg hunt, I might periodically drop hints. I won't specify how though, you'll have to keep your eyes open.
I have no idea if this is gonna be easy or hard, so we'll see how it goes.
# When does the hunt begin? And when does it end?
The hunt begins now, my alt could be literally anyone! Maybe it's not even created yet? 👀 Who knows! Certainly not me.
And it ends whenever I run out of keys. However, if people find it fun, then we will not spoil the answer until everyone has had their fill. The remaining players will simply be playing for fun.
If nobody finds my account for a month, let's say? Then the hunt still goes on! You will find this alt, or perish. It's an order!

Alice washed up on the shores of lemmy.ml with no memory. Little did Alice know about the adventure that awaited him.
His voyage of discovery took him to many sublemmies. Upon seeing another soul, he would eagerly run up to them and would ask the most basic questions imaginable. Generally anime adventurers make friends along the way, but not our hero. For what our hero lacked in intelligence and charisma, he made up for with low self control. His incessant questioning eventually got him the booted from a good many towns (sublemmies).
Tiring of constant wandering, he cried to the heavens: "In this cruel world, is my destiny controlled by some transcendental god? Well I reject you! I reject you all!"
He planted a flag on a remote island and declared it "askwomen". In order to attract women to his island, he made sure to emblazon the flag with a corset, to the chagrin of all.
Alice was smited yet again as the gods ban hammered him from lemmy.ml.
Through sheer power of will, Alice began to travel through the lemmyverse seeking power. Lemmy.ca - banned. Perthchat.org - trapped in the maze of 'registration questionnaire'. Lemmygrad - smited. Sopuli.xyz - hit by a train. Mander.xyz - arrow to the knee. Beehaw - bleach tranq dart.
The forsaken furry, u/wolfballer, seeing our protagonist's plight, welcomed Alice out of pity. Never has Alice found himself surrounded by trumpian furries. Never has Alice felt so at home.
Wolfballer, impressed by the impulse posting, gave Alice more power than he ever dreamt off: Administrator.
With the energy of 1000 communists flowing through him, Alice rejoiced and redoubled his posting efforts.
But alas, it was all a cruel joke.

Thank you everyone for participating in wolfballs 1.
This has been a wild ride.
When wolfballs first started there was basically no free speech sites up.
Ruqqus was shutting down, scored doesn't allow community creation, saidit was always off and there was basically no where you could post people dying of vaccines.
It was a hard time for me. My job was threatened with a vaccine requirement. A threat I successfully fought off with a religious accommodation request.
I was scared, I felt powerless, and I wanted a place everyone could come and talk about all the crazy stuff that was going on without being threatened with weird censorship. Like doctors post being deleted.
Times have changed.
Twitter is a much better place. As we've seen from Elon there is still abuse. But the fedivserse is better too with new great instances like Nazi.st
Scotch has a lot of censorship but it is still better than reddit and you can actually get more than 20 upvotes on c/gaming.
Discord is now a viable competitor to youtube. Publics is ok, catgirl.gay has cemented itself as the king of say anything within American legal boundaries. (But no tities) , Vivaldi social is a thing and when people want to talk about election problems or vaccines killing there are now mainstream places to do that. There was not before.
There was a lot about moderation I did not understand though.
For one there are a lot of real nazi's on the internet. I thought most of them were fake trolls just shit posting for lulz.
When I thought free speech I thought that doctors, lawyers should be able to give their professional opinions without fear of censorship.
That people should be able to give opinions on trials that are not popular but are supported by evidence.
Things get much more complicated though. There appear to be government actors and company actors who try to prevent sites from growing by posting purposefully provocative content.
Also the reddit format is really a relic from the early 2010's and modern bots don't allow it to function the way it was intended.
Up/down votes are meaningless when I can deploy a thousand bots to make content what ever score I want.
That is why reddit is full of weird products on the front page and they use so much shadow banning to try to keep that sort of behavior at bay.
In order for a categorical social media to work it must involve curation which is just another word for selective censorship. So the format isn't really good for freespeech anyways.
I will explore more decentralized social media but it will look different and I will be under a different name.
It's time to hang up the mask. Masterofballs unfortunately will die. Due to vaccine induced myocarditis i'm sure. However it is not the end for Mr balls because he will one day be reborn into something else. Maybe something better.
wolfballs will stay up for a few days for people to clean house, grab any memes you left and I'll try to keep a backup somewhere and leave a way for people to contact me if they forgot something.
I hope everyone can check out Mike Hawk or other cool instances.
Thank you everyone

Small penis rule
Strategy used to evade libel lawsuits
The small penis rule is an informal strategy used by authors to evade libel lawsuits. It was described in a New York Times article by Dinitia Smith in 1998:"For a fictional portrait to be actionable, it must be so accurate that a reader of the book would have no problem linking the two," said Mr. Friedman. Thus, he continued, libel lawyers have what is known as "the small penis rule". One way authors can protect themselves from libel suits is to say that a character has a small penis, Mr. Friedman said. "Now no male is going to come forward and say, 'That character with a very small penis, that's me!'"

if you find anything promising let me know, i’m also looking for more
Might have better luck asking on https://sopuli.xyz/c/geopol
Better sublemmy search bar https://browse.feddit.de/
I would argue this is true in the same small instance. Ex cross posting 1 post here, 1 on lemmyml etc could be fine.
I have no idea what sugar posted tho so dab
