The idea is that eventually they would stop scraping you cause the data is bad or huge. But it’s a long term thing, it doesn’t help in the moment.

A low power AI actually seems like a good way to generate a ton of believable - but bad - data that can be used to fight the bad AI’s.
Even “high power” AIs would produce bad data. It’s currently well known that feeding AI data to an AI model decreases model quality and if repeated, it just becomes worse and worse. So yea, this is definitely viable.
- Comment on Upvotes and downvotes are public information on Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
Reputation, word of mouth, history, etc. Same way you decide anything else you consume.
How do you pick where you go shopping? You pick the closest one. Then if it turns out to be bad, you go elsewhere.

Why are you worried about admin abuse? If you are worried that your admin will abuse you, you should switch to an instance you trust more.

On a gaming PC, what arch distro would you use?

So what distro do you use? I definitely am also considering gaming in the considerations.

Speaking of debian - anyone here running debian testing as a daily driver? I really enjoy debian as a kind of “default” Linux but the rare updates and the need to upgrade the whole system when a major update hits annoys me, so rolling release feels better, but I’m worried Debian Testing is unstable? But I’ve heard it’s not so bad? Anyone got any opinion on that?
- Comment on Lemmy User Feedback and Improvement Thread: Share Your Complaints, Suggestions, and Ideas 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think this is a problem. If the communities are similar enough, one will eventually win and be the bigger and main one. If they are different enough, they can continue coexisting.
- Comment on Lemmy User Feedback and Improvement Thread: Share Your Complaints, Suggestions, and Ideas 3 weeks ago:
I personally still feel like this brings the communities too close.
- Comment on Lemmy User Feedback and Improvement Thread: Share Your Complaints, Suggestions, and Ideas 3 weeks ago:
the Lemmy devs are very much against merged comments
For good reason perhaps? It merges distinct communities together, making communities less distinct. Different communities can have different moderation and participation standards and norms. Merging them I feel is a bad idea.
- Comment on Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users. 4 weeks ago:
Tbf a substantial amount of voters did see the comment - at the time of writing, 297 upvotes on the comment vs 483 upvotes on the post, or ~61%. So actually most people do dig through the comments, if the upvote count is something to go by at least.
Anyone who doesn’t read comments are unlikely to read reader added context, so you’re probably not getting a large amount of the remaining 39% of people to get the context just because you add some extra UI feature.
Besides, explaining the context is a much longer affair than a title and just wouldn’t fit. It’s not like I would even say that the title of this post is misleading in the first place, it’s actually pretty to-the-point.

It is implemented. It’s known as “comments”. You are looking at it. There’s no need for any particular UI feature for this stuff.
- Comment on Uptick in inflammatory posts 4 weeks ago:
We ought to moderate well and do better than elsewhere though. Well, at least I would hope that users would gravitate towards instances that moderate their users better, so we get more civil behavior.
- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 4 weeks ago:
I’m completely fine with certain content being delisted because it is considered essentially on par with hate speech or something like that.
However, I really do not like that it is payment processors making that call. If someone makes that call, it should be the store in question (itch.io, Steam, whatever) or it should be the government.
- Comment on Prince Andrew must be seething that Donald Trump gets to chug along like nothing happened. 5 weeks ago:
Searching Prince Andrew doesn’t immediately give you the context and it’s not a pointless question because others (like me) may have the same question and would like to see the answer.
- Comment on Prince Andrew must be seething that Donald Trump gets to chug along like nothing happened. 5 weeks ago:
People, nobody deserves being downvoted for asking some simple questions. I too am not familiar with Prince Andrew.
- Comment on Being a Mastodon Moderator 5 weeks ago:
Yea wtf? That seems insanely low. There’s no way they can keep up with all content right? At least they can only be reactionary right, like when reports are made?
- Comment on Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette 5 weeks ago:
Unfortunately I don’t think you can just make it illegal. People/companies would still do it, just covertly. Then you end up in a situation where adverts are not marked as such and that’s probably even worse than the current situation, where ads at least identify themselves as ads.
- Comment on Channel.org open beta 5 weeks ago:
Yea okay… Not sure what the point is of not just explaining it clearly 🤔
- Comment on Channel.org open beta 5 weeks ago:
They don’t actually explain what this is anywhere.
Yea I’m thoroughly confused, what even is this? Is it open source, code anywhere?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
It’s weird to talk about the fediverse as a whole having a civility problem. The fediverse is a large and diverse place.
It’s like asking “do bars have a civility problem?”. And like yea, some bars do. Other bars don’t. Depends on the clientele right?
For example, on Feddit.dk we have quite a high standard of behavior and moderation is based on that. Feddit.dk is not a large instance, which probably makes it easier to manage. I would not say that Feddit.dk has a civility problem. Maybe other instances do. But then that’s a problem for those instances to solve.
So I wouldn’t say the fediverse itself has a civility problem. To me, it seems perfectly possible to moderate an instance well and preserve civil behavior. If there is a civility problem, it lies with the specific instance that has that problem and their failure to moderate that behavior.
- Comment on Tesseract is shutting down 5 weeks ago:
Perhaps you’re right, but this is what I’m most comfortable with.
The vision (which is also still WIP) right now is a platform that combines the features of Facebook, Twitter and Reddit. Something that can interface with all existing fediverse services and handle all kinds of media (posts, discussions, microblogs, pictures, videos, anything, you name it). Ideally it should also be a place where you can bring your friends list and maybe even have a personal (non-anonymous) user. Imagine something that can replace Facebook, Twitter and Reddit all in one fell swoop. That’s the general idea.
Now, that’s just the idea but a lot of it depends on execution. If you’re truly interested, I’d love to talk more on Matrix to see if there’s some shared alignment. Obviously I have a certain vision for the project so there needs to be some shared understanding of the direction. Technology-wise, the backend is Rust and the (very WIP) frontend is TypeScript/SvelteKit. But non-technical contribution can be valuable too.

Also your avatar and the image posted here (not the thumbnail) seem broken - I wonder if that’s due to Anubis?

Most search engine bots publish a list of verified IP addresses where they crawl from, so you could check the IP of a search bot against that to know.

I’ve, once again, noticed Amazon and Anthropic absolutely hammering my Lemmy instance to the point of the lemmy-ui container crashing.
I’m just curious, how did you notice this in the first place? What are you monitoring to know and how do you present that information?
- Comment on Tesseract is shutting down 1 month ago:
It does - but I’m honestly also still refining that vision as I work on it and I want to have a coherent story and something to show before I show anything to the world. Just what I’m most comfortable with :)
- Comment on Tesseract is shutting down 1 month ago:
I’d rather ensure that I have something a bit more concrete to show before I “announce” it. First impressions matter a lot. And also, there’s just not a whole lot to show right now and it is not in any kind of usable state so unless someone is truly interested in working with me on this project (with a somewhat similar idea of a vision of where it’s gonna go and all that…), there’s really no use in sharing it.
