I live in the Cape Fear area of North Carolina and we are dealing with this. Chemors, the maker of Teflon, has been dumping PFAS in our water.

My town recently built a reverse osmosis water treatment plant. It is the only way to get it out of the water. Traditional water filters don’t work.

The article points out that the strength of the Fediverse is also it’s downside. Federated moderation makes it challenging to consistently moderate CSAM.

We have seen it even here with the challenges of Lemmynsfw. In fact they have taken a stance that CSAM like images with of age models made to look underage is fine as long as there is some dodgy ‘age verification’

The idea is that abusive instances would get defederated, but I think we are going to find that inadequate to keep up without some sort of centralized reporting escalation and ai auto screening.

Guess they shouldn’t have trained it on Common Core… /s

I will see myself out.

I also have a friend who is wondering how much a Reddit account sells for…

You ad an individual no. You as a collective yes. What is good for the collective (society) may be individually good for you.

I haven’t been able to find a good free dump site that is current. I have used exam topics (paid) in the past for Azure exams and they have been pretty good.

Don’t question it, just enjoy it. You are now part of the greater Lemmy world. In five years you can break out the ‘I have been on Lemmy since the bean incident’ and all the originals will sound off with you while the new lemmings won’t get the inside joke.

You belong now.

I am using the Memmy beta from TestFlight (IOS). It is inspired by the Reddit app Apollo.
