Listen, we have “engagement”, why not call this type of of content “enragement”?

Ye, generally I would only use njalla for discardable services and domains.

Ye, going for extreme privacy like this has these kind of downsides.

Wait, if they suspended your domain, can you even transfer it away? if not, that’s really fucking scary.

I don’t have good interaction with them either, but nothing as bad. I used one of their VPS to hold the reverse proxy for my lemmy instance like a year ago. Randomly it went down and the support was non-existent. Eventually it came back on its own after some days but I had already moved everything away from them

How any times do they have to learn the same lesson?

Stop trying to make “streets ahead” happen!

It’s tough being an ADHD Hacker

Your install USB is infected by a rookit and reinstalls itself on connect.

People do and have left communities in the past. /r/Marijuana to /r/trees comes immediately to mind and there have been many many others. But leaving for an entirely different service has a way higher executive cost. Once people are in the fediverse however, the cost to switching primary communities is not that high, and we’ve seen that away when people moved from !risa@startrek.website to !tenforward@lemmy.world due to mod actions.

Again, the point is that nobody can ever stop you from running a community as you see fit, unlike reddit, which easily ban you and your community for any or no reason. And if your community is run well and the other has indeed power-trippin mods, the people will come to yours, as has happened multiple times before. So no, it’s not the same shithole, unless you make one.

Reddit startled the same way. It’s aways first the tech weirdos, early adopters and Foss enthusiasts that start it.

Unlike the reddit, you can always make your own instance and host your own communities and nobody will ever ban you. That’s the whole point of being distributed.

I’m not a celebrity :D

That was clear from the article as well, where they said they took the opinion of 150 bootlickers moderators

Digg still exists. Death of websites is rarely a complete shutter, but usually more of a steady decline into obscurity

Given that automaytic has coutersued already, I think it’ll happen

The peeps focusing on finding out scheming prompted an llm to generate scheming. Yawn This is the only surprising if you don’t know that llms are fancy autocompletes.

Nah but it’s a discussion that spawned from my reply so I’m invested 😁

my alt? what alt?

The problem is that even if the sources are real, it’s no guarantee that the LLM even used them
