On RT, the TV show Pluribus has a critic score of 98%, and an audience score of 69%, so maybe the The Onion’s joke about how Breaking Bad fans are not going to like it had something to it.

It’s mostly annoying me because it’s affecting federation - not just the ability for new instances to backfill content, but for established instances to even be able to fully resolve a new post’s details before the author nukes themselves. For example, the previous post (titled “Paranoia”) isn’t available on lemmy.ml or lemmy.dbzer0 because they would have been a few seconds “too late” to fetch the details for the author.
@[email protected] - if you’d like another mod to help out in the short term, I’m happy to volunteer. I realise people in the comments are being a bit defeatist about the ability to reckon with this problem, but whoever this person is should at least have to do a bit more work than they’re currently doing.
