Reading those comments drops your IQ by 5 points. Now calculate the economic impact that will have… You can’t because reading this comment drops your IQ by another 5 points :(

All valid points. But regarding the measurements, neither LTT or GN testing methodology are realy scientific. Those are youtubers with limited understanding of experimental design and analysis. I have never seen them do simple significance tests or try to explain the variability in the data. But I havent watched all the videos so 乁⁠(⁠ ⁠•⁠_⁠•⁠ ⁠)⁠ㄏ

My feeling exactly. Smaller communities nurture much more healthier engagement than bigger ones

I feel like it will get even more interesting … (⁠ꏿ⁠﹏⁠ꏿ⁠;⁠)

What about other tech companies like Microsoft or Google? Do they comply?

Is this not similar to the introduction of calculators in schools? We don’t need to use our brains anymore to do the “mechanical calculation”. Instead we can offload this task to the machine and use our brain for other tasks.

Basically an Adblocker for your brain… nice!

Anyone knows how they going to technically implement this?

How would they technically implement this?

Same, first time since 24h I can open lemmy.world community in Jerboa without being greeted with a blank screen :-(

Yes, that would be the best. But as we have seen, users are drawn to the instances with the most users :/

Lets see what the future brings. As long as the user count is low there isn’t much of a problem, but if instances suddenly have millions of users, it will get expensive for admins to run the service. If too few people donate (what is usually the case), admins are forced to search for other ways to finance the infrastructure. The other point is AI, wheter you like it or not, if Lemmy is big enough, the content (conversations etc.) will be used to train LLMs. Also, the content will certainly be interesting for advertisers to learn user preferences. The difficulty comes with scale.
