My name’s not Rick.

  • Elon Musk just offered to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion

  • I thought this was because he’s still pissy they cut him out, but I guess his reasons can be multifaceted

  • Content curation in the Fediverse is better!

  • I trust in the power of people to self-organize, self-regulate, and self-police.

    Isn’t someone deciding they don’t like an instance’s content and blocking it themselves exactly what you’re describing?

  • Newcomers who joined Lemmy last week, how are you doing?

  • I should have been in there, but my eyes were just too glued on the belting I was witnessing. It’s definitely a bummer that a lot of non-tech or news communities aren’t there yet in terms of participation, but at least we’re not making some Rich assholes even more rich on here!

    Do we need administrators and moderators to manage our conversations for us?

    Jump

  • I think that works ok for general interest pages, but I don’t want to see sonic porn on a page that’s supposed to be about video game news, and I don’t feel like having to manually sort that out myself. People don’t mark stuff correctly all the time. Even 4chan keeps their boards on topic, and they don’t have heavy handed moderation, well at least when I used to go on there as a teen they didn’t.

  • Under moderated and under administrated instances have ended up with child porn on them. If that shit gets federated out it’s a real mess for everyone. I think screening tools are more advanced now thankfully because it’s been a while since the last incident.

  • Yup, lawyers are expensive

  • What's the wrongest thing a teacher ever told you?

    Jump

  • I had a teacher confidently tell the class that Mt. Everest didn’t border China (well Tibet really, but that’s a battle for another day). I will say she was able to concede she was mistaken. I had another teacher hit on me when I was in high school while I was alone with her in the copy room. I had always heard some salacious rumors about her, but I always assumed they were just idle gossip until that day. That was a different kind of wrong. And no, I didn’t take her up on the advance.

    I’m assuming English isn’t your first language, so just as an FYI, wrongest isn’t a word. “Most false” is probably the best fit in this instance. Just one of those weird quirks of this bastard language.

  • You’re already on a decentralized platform that can be used to help with that. You can also make plans with a close group of friends/family you trust to figure out ways you can help resist. Use encrypted communications platforms to talk to them. There’s plenty of ways to do stuff beyond apathetic doomerism.

  • Have you donated 7+ figures to Donnie? Maybe sprinkle in some leveraging the social media platform you own to help spread propaganda? How concerned are you with the cost of eggs?

  • Why do I never hear about an artist "selling out" anymore?

    Jump

  • To quote Tool:

    I've got some bad advice for you, little buddyBefore you point your finger, you should know that I'm the manIf I'm the fuckin' man, then you're the fuckin' man as wellSo you can point that fuckin' finger up your ass

    All you know about me is what I've sold ya, dumb fuckI sold out long before you'd ever heard my nameI sold my soul to make a record, dipshitAnd then you bought one

    All you read and wear or see and hear on TVIs a product begging for your fat-ass, dirty dollarShut up and buy, buy, buy my new recordAnd buy, buy, buy, send more money

  • Europeans of Lemmy, is American beer really that bad?
