- Comment on European police say KidFlix, "one of the largest pedophile platforms in the world," busted in joint operation. 8 hours ago:
No judge would authorise a honeypot that runs for multiple years, hosting original child abuse material meaning that children are actively being abused to produce content for it. That would be an unspeakable atrocity. A few years ago the Australian police seized a similar website and ran it for a matter of weeks to gather intelligence and even that was considered too far for many.

Understand you’re not advocating for it, but I do take issue with the idea that AI CSAM will prevent children from being harmed. While it might satisfy some of them (at first, until the high from that wears off and they need progressively harder stuff), a lot of pedophiles are just straight up sadistic fucks and a real child being hurt is what gets them off. I think it’ll just make the “real” stuff even more valuable in their eyes.

Feds have been stepping up their seized website banner game lately. The one for Genesis Market was pretty cool too.

Excellent work. That’s an unimaginable amount of abuse material.

- Comment on Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows. 6 days ago:
Normally platforms are around for a while before enshittification kicks in, I see that Digg are cutting straight to the chase before the site even launches.
I probably will check the new Digg out, but I’ve come to the conclusion that all corporate-run social media platforms will go down the road of fucking over their users eventually. I’m not willing to move to another one and build up connections and communities just for some rich fuck to destroy it on a whim. I’m far more interested in helping to build and grow federated platforms like Lemmy so that there is a true alternative outside of their sphere of influence entirely.

Bad faith agenda pushing was a problem in the days of forums and BBS too, although admittedly to a lesser extent because those platforms were smaller and less commercial. As long as people are able to talk to each other over the internet, that will be a problem. I think the best way to tackle that is being able to spot it and call it out when it happens.

It’s better in many ways, but one that I feel is quite important is that there’s no profit motive to keep users on the platform and engaging with advertisers for as long as possible, and therefore no need to develop the kind of exploitative algorithms that drive screen addiction and engagement through rage.

Corporate social media was a mistake. Genuinely, I lay a lot of why the state of the western world is the way it is at the feet of Zuckerberg and his peers.

Yeah, the modern internet is sadly pretty cooked. We are well and truly past the golden age.

Try Ifixit next time. If it runs on electricity, there’s a good chance that they have taken it apart and documented how to repair it.

I hate that Discord id being used as a forum replacement because it’s fucking terrible for it. There’s pretty much no way to collate and archive information in a way that is actually useful.

Lemmy is a lot of different Reddits under a lot of different managements.

This is why I’m making more effort to move to Lemmy permanently. The thing is that they’re also refusing to say what exactly will get you banned, and that they can and probably will change the criteria pretty much when they feel like it. This is the kind of shit abusive partners do. They cannot expect anyone to be able to follow a rule that they refuse to define. Personally, I don’t think that’s an accident. It feels more like they’re laying the groundwork to be able to censor whoever they like, most likely at the behest of the current US administration.

Generating content with AI to throw off crawlers. I dread to think of the resources we’re wasting on this utter insanity now.

Can’t say I have a huge issue with this - Plex isn’t FOSS and the infrastructure to make this happen isn’t free. Other options are available if you don’t want to pay the fee.
