  • A low power AI actually seems like a good way to generate a ton of believable - but bad - data that can be used to fight the bad AI’s.

    Even "high power" AIs would produce bad data. It's currently well known that feeding AI data to an AI model decreases model quality and if repeated, it just becomes worse and worse. So yea, this is definitely viable.

  • On a gaming PC, what arch distro would you use?

  • So what distro do you use? I definitely am also including gaming in the considerations.

  • Speaking of debian - anyone here running debian testing as a daily driver? I really enjoy debian as a kind of "default" Linux but the rare updates and the need to upgrade the whole system when a major update hits annoys me, so rolling release feels better, but I'm worried Debian Testing is unstable? But I've heard it's not so bad? Anyone got any opinion on that?

  • I don't think this is a problem. If the communities are similar enough, one will eventually win and be the bigger and main one. If they are different enough, they can continue coexisting.

  • I personally still feel like this brings the communities too close.

  • the Lemmy devs are very much against merged comments

    For good reason perhaps? It merges distinct communities together, making communities less distinct. Different communities can have different moderation and participation standards and norms. Merging them I feel is a bad idea.

  • Tbf a substantial amount of voters did see the comment - at the time of writing, 297 upvotes on the comment vs 483 upvotes on the post, or ~61%. So actually most people do dig through the comments, if the upvote count is something to go by at least.

    Anyone who doesn't read comments is unlikely to read reader added context, so you're probably not getting a large amount of the remaining 39% of people to get the context just because you add some extra UI feature.

    Besides, explaining the context is a much longer affair than a title and just wouldn't fit. It's not like I would even say that the title of this post is misleading in the first place, it's actually pretty to-the-point.

    There's also a chance that people will get the wrong idea about posts without the context - i.e. that posts without reader added context are super truthful somehow. I feel that people should rather accept that all titles of a few sentences are missing context. That is after all the point of a title - to summarize and bring only the most important information, which inevitably leads to a loss of context.

  • It is implemented. It's known as "comments". You are looking at it. There's no need for any particular UI feature for this stuff.

  • We ought to moderate well and do better than elsewhere though. Well, at least I would hope that users would gravitate towards instances that moderate their users better, so we get more civil behavior.

  • Well, what is it then?

  • Yea wtf? That seems insanely low. There's no way they can keep up with all content right? At least they can only be reactionary right, like when reports are made?

  • I don't really see how this is a privacy thing. They're on the job, what's so private about that? Plenty of people are under video surveillance on the job.

  • being corrected about objective things

    Language is anything but objective and is constantly evolving based on how people use it.

  • Unfortunately I don't think you can just make it illegal. People/companies would still do it, just covertly. Then you end up in a situation where adverts are not marked as such and that's probably even worse than the current situation, where ads at least identify themselves as ads.

  • What does that say about the sorting algorithms though? Should we sort posts based on votes then, or should we sort them based on something else? Do we want the posts at the top to be the ones the hivemind agrees most with and the ones the hivemind disagrees with should disappear at the bottom?

    Perhaps sorting should be based on total votes and not just downvotes? So downvoting is effectively still "voting" for it, just in a different way. I'm just spitballing here, I find the theory of sort/vote systems fascinating.

  • Yea okay... Not sure what the point is of not just explaining it clearly 🤔

  • They don’t actually explain what this is anywhere.

    Yea I'm thoroughly confused, what even is this? Is it open source, code anywhere?

  • It's weird to talk about the fediverse as a whole having a civility problem. The fediverse is a large and diverse place.

    It's like asking "do bars have a civility problem?". And like yea, some bars do. Other bars don't. Depends on the clientele right?

    For example, on Feddit.dk we have quite a high standard of behavior and moderation is based on that. Feddit.dk is not a large instance, which probably makes it easier to manage. I would not say that Feddit.dk has a civility problem. Maybe other instances do. But then that's a problem for those instances to solve.

    So I wouldn't say the fediverse itself has a civility problem. To me, it seems perfectly possible to moderate an instance well and preserve civil behavior. If there is a civility problem, it lies with the specific instance that has that problem and their failure to moderate that behavior.
