Interesting. My source is obviously anecdotal and from another country. Is it verified that Buffalo tribes always thought this vs. being influenced by European colonisers?

(I don’t want to fall into the trap of thinking older civilizations didn’t have the same gender hang-ups as modern ones.)

I heard from an Aboriginal tour guide that in native populations everyone just did the role they wanted / were good at, and it was only from the introduction of Christian missionaries that such a division of labour was encouraged.

Clicking that link on mobile opens up my email app! I think it needs a ! before it to work.
Alternatively: embedded link to Trending Communities

Accidental Renaissance on Reddit was set to private by its mods, who opened up here instead. I don’t know how subscribers on Reddit there was, but yesterday’s surge now means there’s 1659 Lemmy subscribers.
So yes, there’s some movement, but I doubt it’s a “mass exodus”

PRAW is the Python wrapper for Reddit’s API, and searching github for “lemmy api python” revealed some results, so you’d use one API to download a post, and the other to upload it.

There’s existing bots that do this though, and they all seem to just fill feeds with indiscriminate, un-replied to, spam

It’s true for subscribers - you can compare your view, with the result on something like browse.feddit.de or lemmyverse.net, which give the total count.

Dunno about upvotes though, that must be universal, surely?

It’s blockable fortunately - maybe not via whatever app your using, but if you log into your instance website with a browser, you can choose to block the bot (at) lemmit (dot) online

OP was asking about blocking instances, not communities - e.g. everything that’s hosted by lemmy.world, not just nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
