Moderation on the Feviderse is different than on commercial platforms because it’s context-dependent instead of rules-dependent. That means that a user accout (bot or otherwise) that does not contribute to the spirit of a community will not be welcomed.

There is largely no incentive to run an LLM that is a constructive member of a community, bots are built to push an agenda, product, or exhibit generally disruptive behavior. Those things are unwelcome in spaces built for discussion. So mods/admins don’t need to know “how to identify a bot”, they need to know "how to identify unwanted behavior".

You’re right that it’s nothing big, but the kind of people super into purity tests tend to congregate on the fediverse (which I find a little ironic but am also happy to have some people around who accept no compromises).

Not true anymore actually, the AI Max 395 is basically on par with a 4060.

I wish they had gone with an even smaller Mini-STX format like the AsRock DeskMinis but it’s still cool.

Yeah BlueSky is a solid side-step. It’s still for-profit and not federated but every BlueSky user is one not on X. And a lot of BlueSky’s userbase is comprised of particularly influential X users so them leaving is particularly harmful to the ecosystem.

I also think it’s funny how the journalists who repeat BlueSkys “decentralized” nonsense thought Mastodon was too weird and technical, and yet are promoting Pixelfed. Not complaining, but it is funny.

Took a long time, but nice to see this topic getting mainstream attention.

This is literally the answer lmao why are you getting downvoted.

That and Crypto/wallstreetbets is what I assume. But like most subscription services, the paid tier will start out as “bonus” content but eventually more features get locked behind the paywall.

If they’re foolish enough to paywall old.reddit it would force a lot of the olds out.

I have to imagine that a free Lemmy version of most communities would be more appealing to most people the paywalled subreddit. But I also have a feeling the paywalled subreddits are going to be crypto or meme stock related, where there’s a benefit to them being paywalled.

EDIT: As other have said, there’s an incentive for the porno subs to be paywalled too.

“Stuff in my feed I don’t want to see in my feed” is kind of the exact problem the Fediverse set out to solve. Nothing gets “injected” to a feed here so if you are seeing it, it’s a choice to continue to do so.

Seriously! I love the weirdo foss geeks but we need some fresh weird.

This is still the best at capturing it, imo: https://xkcd.com/1732/

If they were smart they would find a way to paywall all the years-old posts where someone is like “hey how do I fix this specific part on my 1992 sewing machine” and it has a single reply with the answer.

Bing and all Bing-based engines stopped being able to show Reddit results.

Not accurate, actually!

OP if you enjoy a fun weekend project, don’t go with a pi-hole. It literally only takes about 5 minutes. Also I recommend the blocklistproject lists https://blocklistproject.github.io/Lists/

Honestly curious what kind of content you believe requires less effort to post than an image macro?
