It’s a still frame from a video.

The automated part was the bigger issue, but it sounds like there’s probably not much assessment to have automated then.

They’re automating assessments of user interactions on Lemmy as an anti-bot measure?

Piefed communities are creepy. It’s a platform based on the concept of those dead duplicate communities trying to boycott the Lemmy devs.

The piefed communities that come across my feed are so curated and empty it’s always just a mod fighting with every other comment.

Alright, that’s good then. This stuff gets weird and awkward fast, and it wasn’t exactly a fun scenario if I were right.

Considering OP didn’t seem to know who banned them

The implication would be that they may, in fact know.

They’re OP, so they opened the discussion, and with all this sockpuppeting and user impersonation going on suddenly that seems to have been provoked by it, the accusation seems suspicious.

I am beginning to suspect that OP is the quokka.au user considering that’s been their repeated conclusion/accusation for no reason.

They came here with greivances against them and are now making more even while all this is going on.

8h edit to align with OPs retractions.

Based on what you’re saying here though, I am willing to bet they might get it right here and there.

It’s like a dozen people that seem to fuel the dramatic arcs of the fediverse.

Where Russian casualties are routinely celebrated, failing to cheer hard enough makes you stand out, I guess.

That’s very possible. On second look there are a few materials that seem more set into the ground. However even the plant growth over them still might fit a time period that includes this currenr spring and last spring. (Assuming this isn’t Australia or anything.) But it could be a favorite dump site for some slumlord in the area.

Also, I have seen garbage piles with moss because the landlord had scraped everything out of a property and dumped it into a ravine. Moss and other plants could easily come with the dump too. But it’s also on netting material which is great for rapid moss growth. But more than one dump is very plausible.

I did solid waste dump responses when I worked for a health department.

When people who can’t pay to dump have trash, they dump it in the woods, ravines, forestry roads, etc.

Usually the drive to dump trash is when someone dies and someone else is having to clear out their effects, be it family, a landlord, or some worker. Or someone is evicted from their home, vehicle, or encampment.

Otherwise most people hoard it until they die or are evicted.

Two would be pushing it. The leaves would have matted more and built up in greater amounts. Put out last spring is my estimate: that’s one year of detritus.

Assuming this isn’t just two feet off the side of a trailhead or something.

Best bang for their buck placating a large and influential political body.

Monke is fish.

Places in Africa are finding out about this the hard way right now.

For the most part what’s happened is that China is not longer funding new and more Africa infrastructure. A lot of this is due to the infrastructure having now been built, and the economic benefits from said infrastructure being used to pay the loans back. As intended.

I also question if powering all of Cuba is really something even they could do in a span of weeks.

They utilize I think 20% solar currently, but the problem is also storage for nighttime power consumption. Even if they could generate 100% during the day they also need the infrastructure to store or generate for nighttime.

Septic people have fun with it where they can.

The powertripping is baked into the rules, which is rather common for small niche communities, and a poor fit for general, broad categories. Like… ‘art’.

MBFC bot people got real aggressive when you suggested it was inaccurate or unhelpful.

It’s purpose though is relevant though: it exists to provide that exact dynamic: unbiased bias. The bread and butter of most political trolls.
