What was the post, though?

It is and it’s a great movie. Probably the best movie about ai.

Quite the opposite. Due to systemic corruption autocracies are economically highly inefficient with low productivity across the board with all kinds of long term effects this brings. And while it might look bad for democracies at the moment, I think many of the current crop of autocracies will be short lived. In the end, economy is where it’s at, and autocracies are horrible at it.

You’re right. An even shittier reddit that failed due to extreme greed before? What’s the point?

What federation protects from is the singular owner of the platform sweeping in and setting/enforcing new rules for some or all communities. This could still happen on one instance, but new instances can mitigate the effects. Single communities can still turn bad, but it will be up to the users to decide whether to stick around or move to other communities.

This attitude is exactly the problem. The current situation is new and unprecedented. Not seeing the difference is the type of ignorance that allowed this to happen in the first place.

You can’t really. It’s that moment when you realize you never “owned” the subreddit in the first place, all your work belonged to reddit.

The show is the point. Users are supposed to self-censor out of fear, which is far more effective than any form of automated censorship. Reddit just implement the “chilling effect”.

I’ve noticed an uptik of pro Chinese propaganda content here on lemmy in recent days. I am afraid the fediverse had been discovered.

I root for bazzite. It’s so easy to setup and update all while providing superb support for gaming. I actually run it as a desktop os and I love it.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Doing this research transparently is a good idea, it will only be a matter of time before other actors will try and use LLMs to influence lemmy. Like spam, bots and farms, this is a reality the fediverse will have to deal with eventually. Better start preparing now.

That is my impression, too.

The way things are going he will announce it tomorrow, likely via social media and without prior warning to the other NATO members.

Thank God I’m not on reddit anymore.

Finally Americans will learn the actual definition of “freedom of speech”, only to late.

I’ve been comparing PieFed to lemmy and it’s not even a close call. Accessing lemmy with an app like Thunder or Voyager is far more comfortable and efficient. Insurance choice is great, discovery is easy and the overall experience feels very polished.

I’ve been using it for weeks and I think I’ll stick with it. It feels fresh and relaxed at the same time.

On second thought, maybe they’re doing the right thing. Offering what the competition does with improved privacy and the option to switch it off completely. I personally think LLMs are pretty bad at real-life queries, but ultimately the users will have to decide.

I’m open for alternative suggestions. The ease of wiping browser data while excluding preferred sites in duckduckgo is really nice.
