Yeah, Amcrest NVR software sucks. Reliable cameras though.

Reolink or Amcrest or any other Ethernet hardwired ones with NVR that you can host in your house. No WiFi and no third-party/cloud storage ones like Ring or Nest.

I mean that Microsoft and Gmail took over the email protocol and right now if you stand up your own email server with a new domain/IP you basically have zero chance to get your mail delivered anywhere. They’ve positioned themselves as “higher” authority because of the sheer number of users they control and can now control the entire email system.

Same thing could happen with instances if we elevate lemme.world or any other instance to be “more legitimate” so their user votes count higher.

Sorry, I misunderstood. I definitely agree accounts created for the sole purpose of upvoting stuff/bot farms are bad. I just don’t know if there’s an effective way to fight it as they’re getting pretty elaborate these days and it’s hard to distinguish them from real accounts.

Pretty soon we’ll be at the point where no one will trust anything on the Internet.

That defeats the purpose of decentralization and creates a dangerous precedent. The entire point of Lemmy is that every instance is equally valid and legitimate. If certain instances are elevated above others, we’re on our way to do what Gmail and Microsoft did to email.

Why am I being a dick, I was genuinely curious. What do you mean “vote manipulation”? Like making a post with one account and creating another one to upvote the post?

But that’s kinda the point of all posts. You post because you want people to see something and you want your post to be popular so it can be seen by the largest amount of people.

What is the definition of a “fake account”?

Which is ridiculous, the widescreen TV is the ultimate spot where vertical videos have no place.

You can, as long as that one member makes $200k+. It’s your fault you’re poor, weirdo

Fuck YouTube shorts, I hate them with passion. I wish there was a way to hide them from my phone’s and TV’s YouTube app
