Yes, I posted that screenshot publicly only after changing the password.

Infinite scrolling is optional and also a feature the majority of users (not hyper specific tech nerds) want. If we are to have any hope of bringing the average social media user onto these platforms, we have to design it for them. Most of the addictiveness comes from the algorithm (lemmy lacks a personalized one), not necessarily the infinite scrolling itself

the extremely concerning thing is that I changed the password after leaking that screenshot. I have no idea how OP logged into it, it signals to me a Lemmy bug of some sort

Don’t link p.lemmy.world. it’s well over a year out of date.
phtn.app probably looks a bit less suspicious, and also lets you use any Lemmy/Piefed instance.

- Comment on LLMs are already doing fascists a favor by ensuring that anything that is reasonably eloquently formulated on social media is automatically suspected of having been written by LLMs. 3 weeks ago:
Maybe it’s where I browse but I haven’t really seen any accusations that well written content is LLM generated. Language models have a rather specific tone they like to use, and it’s relatively easy to distinguish once you’ve learned those patterns.
I have seen, however, blatantly LLM generated text going undetected.
- Comment on Self-hosting in 2025 isn't about privacy anymore - it's about building resistance infrastructure 3 weeks ago:
This does sound like it was written by an off the shelf LLM. You can’t just rely on em dashes anymore, most LLMs don’t spam those anymore.
When you tell a modern LLM to write a post like this, it’ll use a very LinkedIn-esque tone. It’ll spam short, active sentences, often preceded by a colon:
Document your setup. Write guides. Make it easier for the next person. Run services for friends and family, not just yourself. Contribute to projects that build this infrastructure. Support municipal and community network alternatives.
“Not this, but that” and the “rule of 3” are getting less useful as tells, but they are absolutely littered everywhere in this post.
When you run Nextcloud, you’re not just protecting your files from Google - you’re creating a node in a network they can’t access.
I quote this formatting as a joke for obvious LLM writing. I’ve never seen human writing with more than 3 of these in a single post.
My guess is that this was written by Claude since it stays rather personally neutral if you don’t guide it that way.
I made Claude generate a post like this and it’s a very similar tone.

github also has the slowest, most unresponsive web interface ive ever used. it’s genuinely impressive how they made a web app so slow

- Comment on Apple will let iPhone users in Brazil get apps and services outside of the App Store 1 month ago:
Man i feel like if Apple opened up their systems, it would barely affect revenue, and would kill Android. proper sideloading and full control over the OS would genuinely remove a lot of barriers for hardcore android users to move to ios.
- Comment on Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux 1 month ago:
According to top results for a few searches,
ChatGPT has 700 million weekly active users, as of September 2025.
Gemini has 350 million monthly active users, as of April 2025.
ChatGPT is the number 1 app on the Google Play top downloaded apps currently.
Some numbers may be slightly inflated for a number of reasons, but another source is speaking to people IRL. I often overhear conversations mentioning ChatGPT or AI in general.
“AI bros” are definitely cancerous but a lot of average consumers do in fact use AI frequently

Getting stuck on Lemmy can get us into an echo chamber. A lot of the mass public actively uses AI and may even appreciate these features.
- Comment on Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft 1 month ago:
What’s weird is that given certain odd scenarios (I can’t recall it but there was a video by Enderman about it) you’ll see the old windows 10 taskbar appear, exact styling and all. So the windows 11 taskbar is quite literally just a WebView plastered on top.

I wonder if Lemmy had emoji reactions, if there’d end up being an emoji code that sorta meant this

- Comment on Widespread Cloudflare outage blamed on mysterious traffic spike 2 months ago:
Anubis isn’t even comparable to cloudflare. The reason cloudflare is so effective is that they can oversee which IPs are spamming or being abusive to certain websites, and can throw up protections quickly.
Anubis is just a prompt that wastes CPU cycles and tries to make it more expensive for AI crawlers to do so (since they care a lot about compute costs, of course)

Not sure if it’s just what they want, it’s mostly that Minecraft’s spaghetti code had a lot of things hardcoded. Lately they’ve been changing a lot of things to be data-driven, and able to be changed by datapacks

Very out of character with the way this guy writes (check post history), and it’s a super generic reddit tier comment. If you ask chatgpt to write like a redditor, you can get responses similar to this.
