Oh neato, didn’t know that!

To me it just shows lack of care in the topic. So easy to link an article. Not so easy to rub a couple brain cells together, I guess

Totally

Fair enough. Let’s agree to disagree! 🫲

God how I wish forums would see a resurgence. Back in the day they were so vibrant and fun!

I think we actually agree but there might be a partial misunderstanding. There was an example another commenter made of their experience with Xcancel. I think that explains it a bit more clearly.

Edit: this comment

That’s a perfect real world example

I would’ve been interested to hear that

Gotcha.

Hope you enjoy piefed, I learned about it shortly after joining lemmy.ca, and while I liked the look of it I just haven’t had a reason I’ve seen to make another move.

As in, you’re quoting me because you think my post’s content is busted and dumb? Or do you dislike that I said that?

I’m not sure because I don’t use piefed, but at least on Lemmy you can definitely downvote. Maybe try downvoting from another app or desktop?

Yeah that’s what I meant to express by saying “it’s fine”.

Moderators are free to moderate as they please, just as I am free to think it’s a largely widespread and pervasive problem overall.

Totally a place for ‘news-only’ communities which enforce certain websites or articles, but my point stands!

Subconsciously engrained way of doing things, I think you’ve hit the nail on the head!

Huge proportion of people here came from Reddit, and I guess it’s easier to do things the way we’re comfortable with. But that seems antithetical to the spirit and purpose of Lemmy and the Fediverse

/c/technology in lemmy.world

That’s one example

It would still gain traction before somebody noticed. And what does that say about the community?

Do they agree with the content of your ‘fake’ site? Do they just want to hear something they agree with regardless of the source?

I totally get your point. It’s still busted and dumb.

Too many communities require news articles

In my opinion.

It’s fine, but it’s too common in online communities (including Lemmy) and it discourages people from posting their original thoughts or events that they find important and relevant, since something needs to come from a ‘real news source’ or an ‘online article’.

I can make a website right now and call it “The Daily Pragmatist” or some shit and people won’t bat an eye.

Reality also is that many reach conclusions based on titles alone anyhow. I can’t see how it would be worse, since the body of the post is always going to be a tad more accessible than opening a new website. And we see how little people want to work to gather their knowledge, on the whole.

I get removing crappy content, but what about when thoughts are backed up with sources and opinions are relevant to overall discussion?

And separately, what’s up with aversion to ‘non-standard’ forms of expression? I would argue that something like the show ‘The Rehearsal’ by Nathan Fielder, is an equally valid way to deliver real and important news to people. I wouldn’t be alone in this sentiment.

Imo this shit is busted and dumb.

Edit: for those that agree in part or in whole, if you have the bandwidth for it, consider making your own community! Lemmy is still relatively small and your local instance might be even more so. It’s not impossible to get a community going, and if it fails - oh well!

I have sympathy for non-profits. Did you ever use Gmail or Google Drive? Same concept.

If they’re smart enough, they’ll look for greener pastures, if they double down that’s when my sympathy ends.

I disagree, all three must addressed whether individually or collectively. In today’s America, there is little distinction between corporation and government, especially in the tech sector.

The problem is Microsoft. It’s also the datacentre builders. It’s also the governments.

All three are a fucking problem

You know how people have been doing those horrible crimes where they destroy datacentres?

I hope people don’t realize the same thing can be done to places like Google’s offices. But if they do, I also hope they’d be responsible enough to make sure no low/mid level employees were in the building. I bet, and this is just too sad, that the executives would be the prime targets 😔

That would be tragic. Super duper tragic.

So tragic.

Tragic.

It certainly is. If you wanna feel like you’ve rewound 10 years in the past, you gotta pony up. And even still everything feels wrong.

But in the interim, before the bubble pops, I do see the value in having no AI as a feature, especially when the immediate alternative is “go fuck yourself”.

One payment for actual slop removal, priced by devs properly to allow them somewhat equivalent revenue compared to if you were being data harvested - that’s basically the only good way to do it if we’re gonna do it.

No micro transactions and no double or triple or quadruple or quintuple or sextuple dipping on larger payments either.

When did everything become a fever dream?
