What’s wrong is that officers of the law are allowed to lie like that, yet still want to be respected.

There are some sites that show what instances are de-federated from that. People can use that as a guide as well, if there are instances they don’t really want feeds from due to their underlying circumstances. They should also check the admins and modlog so they don’t run into surprises later down the line.

You build a state out of colonialism, you get a state of colonialists.

Clearly the former Israeli PM must be a false / self-hating Jew. /s

It seemed to tangent off so I had to circle back around.

If people need to be warned that they might be scammed by someone with an Indian voice asking them for gift cards, I think that they should be reclassified as AI mounts instead of people at that point.

People do become more senile as they get older, but they need to recognize it as well as prepare ahead of it in time. Who knows, maybe being an AI pet mount then wouldn’t be so bad, as long as it was with an offline localized LLM-like AI vetted openly and widely, not the transparent excuse for abuse this is.

I am used to listening to streams while walking, but I’ve been noticing the most annoying ads pop-up when I’m interested in something they are saying. This isn’t going to make me pay attention to those ads, it’s going to drive me to the plethora of other services I can use. The worst thing about it is that it doesn’t even pause and cache the stream, meaning that if I was listening to something interesting, the ad just causes me to miss it. Google just keeps eating its own tail.

If you see Netflix as part of a bundle, get the bundle without it. You having no choice to get out of the subscription is feeding into this.

What I can’t get around with is people expecting AI that was developed by not respecting IP rights to suddenly begin respecting their presumed IP rights (not that most are not just accepting them away through the associated EULAs) with what they generate using them.

Just because something isn’t going the way you want it to go doesn’t excuse any and all behavior. Most parents are able to teach their children this one basic rule.

I was stuck in traffic the other day, and waiting for the traffic to move wasn’t doing anything so I just took my rocket launcher out and started blasting.

Futurama predicted this.

They are. Unless you can translate what I’m saying to any language I tell you to on the fly, I’m going to assume that anyone that tells me they are smarter than LLMs are lower on the spectrum than usual. Wikipedia and a lot of libraries are also more knowledgeable than me, who knew. If I am grateful for one thing, it is that I am not one of those people whose ego has to be jizzing everywhere, including their perception of things.

Just a heads up, I submitted this in World News and it got taken down because of “rule 3” even though it’s as you say. It also fairly early on got brigaded by “counterpropaganda” from hexbear, and the alts coming out of the woodworks, ignoring any other community content, just to defend King Jong-un and North Korea’s character was ridiculous. I guess lemmy.ml and lemmy.world have more in common than I thought. I got in contact with one of the mods and they confirmed it was wrongly removed and restored it, so it was definitely not a unanimous decision - I take my comment back.

Budae-jjigae is literally made from hot dog sausages, and the ban is tied to maintaining the cultural divide between North and South Korea. This news shouldn’t be making as much noise as it is, if it wasn’t because of weighted agendas seriously getting concerned. I’m sure you are probably getting a lot of spam to coerce you.

I think you missed a lot of my points. What’s fud, the monetization of your platform? Went to give it a look, that’s what a lot of those “recommended” topics are showing users are looking forward to on some of the clients. You explained something I wasn’t complaining about, but now that you have, that opens up so many attack vectors as well. People can try to copy popular communities to set up fake “grassroots” communities, and it sounds like they can copy and simulate user participation along with it.

And no, how a community identifies itself is not a minor inconvenience, it has literally fueled the domain name market, it is what people linked to, what people see in archives, and where people will go. The elephant in the room you are forgetting to mention is how the whole community will suddenly coordinate so well and won’t just split itself off into several.

Plebbit only hosts text. Images from google and other sites can be linked/embedded in posts. This fixes the issue of hosting any nefarious content.

Somewhere, a black hat master of ASCII art is cracking his hands.

It’s still misleading though, it takes away control from instance controllers, which in today’s world, also makes it so that it is easier to swamp it with bot accounts, misinformation, and even be an unwilling decentralization participant. Looking behind the curtains, it’s basically built by and around NFT (even the user avatars have to be NFT for no good reason), and already has a market for it, so don’t be surprised if there is a blockchain rugpull behind this. And it also doesn’t fix the inherent problem, rather, because of its design, it makes communities all the more authoritarian because whoever controls the NFT controls the moderation.

If you use it, you will no longer have the recourse of admins when its the moderators messing up and acting in bad faith. That problem isn’t due to instances, it’s due to the more generalized problem of people in position of authorities more interested in representing themselves than a community or their obligations, this does nothing to, say, provide for alternative moderation groups if you are unhappy with how the current one is moderating it. It does protect your account to some degree, but it also protect the accounts of the terrorists running around spreading hate speech, and you will feed a small part of it due to its decentralized nature.

Personally, the whole platform, https://plebbit.com/introduction , just seems a monetization strategy to monetize reddit-like communities into the NFT market. Expect the inevitable drama and subsequent crashes. But also, don’t expect it, it will depend wholly on the NFT holder, which means the community will go to sh-t if it gets lost or the administrative moderators of that community become out of reach, presumably because they sold it for millions to the nearest troll farm while they went off to the Bahamas. But hey, maybe it will pull the dumb and those just interested in monetization into their eco-system.
