Yeah, that makes sense. But maybe they could have tried to find someone else to go after Lebron was no longer available?

Why does your post also seems to be written by AI?

Is he really worth that much still?

It does, in a roundabout way: people that exercise more go to the doctor less and take less medications, so insurance companies could profit a lot by encouraging people to go exercise.

Maybe @pine64@treehouse.systems can help?

That’s a great idea! Hope you get more people joining you. I am not watching anything recently, but some months ago I had a bit of a nostalgia kick and found myself watching the later seasons of Everwood. For some reason I remembered watching the first two seasons but not much about the end, so I had a rewatch. Then I understood why I lost interest: Sarah Lancaster left the show and without my then-crush all that was left was an obvious soapy drama.

Vote it down and move on? Help fund the development of a client that can deal with these things for you? Run your own instance where you can set your own blockloats?

You have agency. If something bothers you, take initiative instead of putting the responsibility.on others.

f AI gets to the point where it’s all pervasive (…) I’d honestly probably just stop participating socially in public internet spaces

I think you are missing what I am trying to say: there is a significant probability we already are at this point, and I don’t think we can beat this cat-and-mouse game. If you are serious about you mean, then the only reasonable course of action is to get out of the race entirely. If more people think like you, then the scale will tip even further in favor of the bots.

All of this to say, if we are so AI averse that the mere possibility of having AI around should be enough for all of us to drop this whole thing here and go back to connection only in the physical world. In a way, I wouldn’t be against the idea (maybe because I look at the internet as a source of utility and not to fulfill any emotional/social need) but on the other hand it would suck precisely because the internet can be quite useful as a tool, but its utility depends on having people around participating.

Hello and welcome! Yeah, I don’t particularly focus on architecture/urbanism, but it’s a great blog post for this community. Keep them coming! :)

But what if the bots are writing posts and comments that make it hard to tell if they are human or not and the content is useful/beneficial to the community?

Survivorship bias. How do you guarantee that you don’t have a few dozen accounts that were set up by a human who then collected the credentials and setup an automated OpenClaw-like thing system?

The source code is open and they are highly dependent on funding from users and NLNet. Lemmy’s API is easy to replicate, so even if it’s not so easy to say “just fork it”, it would be pretty straightforward to have other projects implementing compatibility layers.

Not a real answer to your question, but I’ve been using XFCE for a long while now and to me it has the best balance of functionality and KISS.

It doesn’t show because Lemmy has a stupid bug: it allows users and communities with the same name, so remote servers can not resolve either of them properly via webfinger.

These siloed platforms are created to favor the companies, not the users. The web is open. We don’t need one different browser to read long articles, write a trip blog, or to read movie reviews.

The app-iification of the web is something that we should be eschewing away, not trying to replicate it because this generation grew up not knowing any better.

I get that the game is not as popular as before, but what is the problem of keeping in maintenance mode? A few hundred thousand people paying $5/month surely is enough to keep the servers running, no?

Well, yes, but a bridge to Discord could be bringing traffic from order of magnitude more people than we currently have, and we do not have the infrastructure for it yet.

There is a fork called Incarnator which sees some occasional commits, but I think it’s more of a maintenance project that an attempt to continue bringing innovation. I believe that my ADAPT project has learned all the lessons from Takahe and will manage to bring more exciting features.

Short of pruning the data every once in a while (and losing all history) there is nothing that can be done to optimize it. It may work as a proof-of-concept or if you want to run on your own, but I really don’t think it is a good idea to promote it.

The latter. Any instance that has at least one user following the bridge will have to process and store every message coming from the bridge discord room.
