I didn’t think folks actually care about ads as much as you think. This place is a bubble in that regard.

Nothing to do with ads for me, it’s user tracking.

I agree that AGI is dangerous but I don’t see LLMs as evidence that we’re close to AGI, I think they should be treated as separate issues.

That’s my question too, do they not have a secret ballot in the US? If they do (and I’m pretty sure they do) my advice to OP is to deny who they voted for until they can get to safety, “was just joking about voting Harris” is a perfectly reasonable lie if your safety is threatened, the family would have no proof or way of finding out.

.org was always intended for miscellaneous sites that don’t fit anywhere else, I think that’s the most appropriate. I mainly remember this from back in “the day” but here’s a source I’ve just found to back me up: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1591

I’m not a big fan of the “new” generic TLDs like .world, they’re not part of my hill, I don’t really care what they’re used for but I think we could do without them. Most Lemmy instances should really be .org in my ideal scheme of things.

Still I’d ideally like .com addresses to be reserved for commercial entities and, while we’re here, US-specific sites to more widely use .us. Just to acknowledge I know this is a very pedantic hill.

People should respect the intent of top level domains. e.g. videos at youtu.be should be related to Belgium, and podcasts with a .fm domain should only be podcasts related to the Federated States of Micronesia. Users at lemm.ee should be from Estonia.

A screenshot I took for whatever reason in 2006, it’s quite a relic.

Reddit would surely have to ban users from creating new subreddits for certain (previously allowed) topics, or else users would just create an alternative “free” subreddit and everyone would post there, right? This can’t work like something like YouTube Premium originals or else they’re going to have to pay certain popular people to post to the paywalled subs - but nobody uses Reddit to follow individuals.

This is one of the weirder surveys I’ve ever taken, I hope they know what they’re doing.

What about Linux distribution repos? (in terms of where they fall in the known/unknown category)

It’s definitely a nicer experience around here if you block certain instances, I won’t mention names myself. The difference is that Meta’s instance is big enough to completely drown out everyone else which can’t be said about the above.

There’s a good argument for keeping it small and focused. Massive all-encompassing social networks are relatively new and not a good thing in my opinion.

My concern is that the toxic culture from Meta’s platforms will be imported here, and the only way to get away from it would be to not only defederate from Meta but to defederate from anything federated to Meta (essentially creating two fediverses). I hope it doesn’t come to that, but that’s my worry.

Lemmy users be like „I fucking love decentralized freedom“, until someone joins they don’t like.

No, especially when someone joins that we don’t like. The ability to defederate is the freedom that comes with decentralisation. If there were no bad actors decentralisation wouldn’t be so important.

Never forget how he got kicked out of Russia and next showed up in Afghanistan! He seems to have no risk-aversion. I’m almost half expecting him to pop up in Gaza next… He’s made some excellent insightful videos.

This was my original pick, I’ve heard there are some pretty serious allegations against him too which I’m in no position to properly evaluate. But I’ll keep watching with the benefit of the doubt for now because his videos are very interesting.

think Heinz do some tinned puddings too? The cakey kind though rather than creamy stuff, mind

I also remember those (in the UK) - tinned sponge puddings - not seen them in several years though.

To give a contrary answer; I think it would be a sign that Reddit has turned in the right direction and might actually become a good platform again. A reformed Reddit is infinitely better than whatever Meta are planning.

Which is of course why they won’t do it.
