@0x0f Good afternoon, how are you?

@admin Everytime I am waiting on my program to finish a cycle of running (usually some sort of analysis on a year of stock data) I come here and comment until it is dont. Those tend to last anywhere from a minute or two when actively debugging new features, to 5 - 10 minutes when running a full backtest on minute resolution data.

Helps pass the time rather than staring at a screen waiting to finish as i cant usually code until i see the results.

@awethon

Few hundred a month, i will need to check to get you exact numbers, I have posted them in the past though.

But if you run a smaller instance (such as a single person), or happen to not keep the enormous history QOTO has (which we keep for searchability) it will be much cheaper. But cheaper comes with a cost, the degree of federation of a server is determined by the cumulative number of mutual followers across all its users. So smaller instances, while cheaper, tend to have a much smaller view of the fediverse and are seen by far fewer users (mostly in terms of federated timelines but also in terms of what comes up when you search for a hashtag and other things).

@users

Since my reply to this post back in 2018 has since been orphaned and helps give context to it, and it was used against me in various circles I wish to re-link the orphaned context that explains the meaning of this post, or at least, the meaning I had intended at the time.

@admin Indeed it is, and he even intentionally ignored context. There was a pull request on that which did not ask to take down the block but rather to include the context in which it was shared, specifically the text description I added with it. Which of course would have shown the meme was harmless, which is why it wasnt included.

Here is the link to the PR: https://github.com/dzuk-mutant/blockchain/pull/15

Attached is the image of the context that was requested to be added in the PR (and denied).

The reply has since been orphaned (though was not at the time of the PR) due to the instance/account i had replied to being no more. But you can see my actual orphaned reply still here:

@waltznr Every damn time!

@FailForward

That is possible but the timing seems a bit too on the nose. There was no sign of an increase just following new years. the first sign of increase started 4 days ago but the increase was not linear with numbers increasing by a weak-exponential curve since then.

So I have concluded it is due to recent social media censorship and banning. The first indication of increase was the day Trump was banned from twitter which is also when republicans, or at least trump supporters started to get banned, and in the day or two that followed these bannings increased along with more social media joining in.

It seems almost certain that must be the cause unless there was a similar provocative event with the exact same timeline.

@mur2501 If it pays I plays :)

I currently have variables in my algorithmic trading program named "cum_return" short for "cumulative return". This brings me pleasure.

@r

Yes, I do that at times. Reason being replies dont show in ones own main timeline to their own followers typically (those this can be turned on). So if I make a post where I feel it would reflect something I would also like to say as a top-level post then rather than copying and pasting it to a new post I will usually retweet. This also allows users to see the context and contribute to the conversation in its original context if they wish.

@crunklord420

@pgn Cool, good luck! Whats your background?

@0x0f This is where I am at.. not compile but every iteration i need to run it against the stocks to backtest improvements and simulate a years worth of the algorithm running. It takes a few minutes and its really annoying.

@xkore

regardless the point is when a majority of a network engages in hate speech it virtually garuntees the death of that network,.

@awethon

@awethon

If the majority of your network is engaging in hatespeech than the scenario you describe of someone privately posting hate speech to their own page is not at all what you have.

If the majority of people behave that way then you will find the majority of new followers you get will behave that way, the majority of the comments left on your post will be hateful, and the majority of comments you see on posts of your friend's will also be hateful.

It will not be isolated, everyone will be exposed to it when it is the majority, and no one will (other than those who enjoy such hate) will enjoy themselves. Therein lies the problem.

@xkore

@ale

Yes its possible, activity pub doesnt limit that in any way. The reason mastodon doesnt have it is for performance reasons.
