Yet several cultures across the world developed means to drink milk and eat cheese. The mongols' fermentation process allows them to eat and drink despite being lactose intolerant, not to mention they make kumis from mare milk
Last week, as this discussion was getting media attention, Meta said that "most of those posts only stay up for 4-8 hours before the (uploader) deletes it, before we've had time to review"
Dunno how truthful that statement is, but that really shows how easy it is to game their system
Right now at least, AI is being more of a headache than anything in coding. Microsoft itself was responsible for one such gaffe in May, as an actual coder had to tell the AI to fix an error, again and again, as each time it'd make a different mistake
The main problem is that the platforms have a money incentive to keep spam and scam posts online. They pay meta and TikTok for boosts, the scam gets boosted, all done.

For people that like to go on long rants or post lots of pictures in a single post, Misskey (and Sharkey, a common fork) allow servers to set custom text limit, with some having 5k characters, others 99k, it also allows markdown on posts, so you can use bold, italics, headers and whatnot, and you can post more than 4 pictures (mstdn's limit) per post.
The main the downside in my opinion, the browser pages running *key are absurd CPU hogs and can crash your browser. I also only know one android app that connects to these instances, Pachli.
Gotta say, his latest post, Sunsetting Cursed Terminal Emulation, really reminded me of some programming woes you can read from The Unix Haters' Handbook.
terminal emulators aren’t leaky abstractions, they’re quite literally the abstraction being leaked :-D. \x64k@lobste.rs
Wouldn’t you have to have some sort of MITM to be able to inspect that traffic?
That, or a court order telling your ISP or mobile operator to allow the sniffing. Or just the police wanting to snoop your stuff because they can. Not every country cares about individual or human rights, you know
Ha, my fist is impervious to those attacks!
