I tend to agree. Don't blow this out of proportion. If you dig deep enough, you will not like the CEO of ANY company... so don't let some comments from the CEO of Proton get you worked up.
I'll be honest, this kinda feel like the wrong move. If correct information is the antiseptic to misinformation, wouldn't X be the exact place you should be posting your journalism to?
Thanks for your … er… um… reply? I guess? For what seems like a response to a different question than the one asked?
Nice try... North Korea. j/k. IDK man, because I watched "The Undeclared War". Give it a look.
Several other comments called me out for the same thing and you are right, I didn't mean to imply that there are not domestic bad actors also.
It was not my intention to suggest there are not "domestic bad actors". I live in America, and yes, that is a blanket term that we use to generalize countries that are antagonistic to "American values". We have plenty of domestic bad actors. I was painting with too broad of a brush and that was my bad.
In another comment I was accused of being a brainwashed American, so take this for what it is, but some posts — mostly of a political nature — just seem to defy any mainstream thinking across the spectrum. Looking at some user profiles when I come across these, it seems their post history is entire based around fueling arguments, with no agenda, other than breed discontent.
Your point is fair and I didn’t mean to imply that bad actors are purely foreign. There are plenty of domestic bad actors. Please excuse the “propaganda framing”.
This was my subjective opinion based on the kinds of discussions and posts I see.
It probably seems weird asking this on Lemmy, but of course posting this on Reddit would get banned or taken down. Reddit doesn’t like being critical of Reddit. Anyways….
Over the last 10 years as a Reddit user I’ve believe the amount of accounts that are bots or foreign bad actors has tipped past 50%. I have no statistics to speak of, but would love if somebody did and could share.
Based purely on some of the conversations, posts, rage bait, strong ideologies, etc… I’m pretty convinced that a reasonable sample of humans could not or would not act the way they do on that platform. So often now I see posts that I feel are specifically attempting to sow discord and disagreement.
Does anyone else agree? What percent of users do you think are bots? Foreign bad actors?
Sadly, I think Reddit has no desire to find out or do anything about it. There would be no upside to them correcting their advertising numbers.
I think what you're looking for is what is sometimes called a "dns load balancer". Offerings like Azure Traffic Manager or AWS Route 53 do this. You can set up health checks that the service will use to determine if one of your locations is down and then automatically update the DNS record to point to the other one. You can also get clever and do things that allow the DNS to resolve the IP of whichever of your servers is physically closer so you get the best performance. I'm not sure what options there are for selfhosting a DNS service like this, however, these services are extremely affordable -- pennies -- and run on very reliable infrastructure, which is what you want.
I don't expect companies to be doing that much anymore.
Wait, what?!? I'm genuinely perplexed if you think that NASA funding comes only from Dems...
Because it's not the money, it's the autism.
He is compensated for company performance, not headcount.
I've never agreed with journalistic organizations endorsing candidates. Report on them? Yes. Scathe them if necessary? Yes. Endorse them? No thank you.
