  • Sad to hear, had a very inspired name and the admin was very strong with hosting tech. Unfortunately however a generic instance with lax federation rules and no solid ideology, is a recipe for burning out your admins. The owner seemingly losing interest in lemmy also didn't help.

  • Crossposting from the other thread


    I wonder what kind of of csam detection they have. If they're only relying on hash matching, they've gonna get fucked from novel genai csam. This is why stuff like the fedi-safety exists which they could use as well

  • Man it's miss the nethernet

  • That's the only correct take

  • So, you send a PM via your own server, so it's how your server refers to the remote user. So your own server's ID of that user matters, not the remote server's ID.

  • use get_user to get the user json, then PM using the id key of that

  • You can send messages to anyone with pythorhead, you just do it via your own lemmy server and need to provide the full username address

  • Once I start regularly communicating with someone and they keep doing this "hi" business, I just start replying with this link https://nohello.net/

  • The cynical view of America’s educational system—that it is merely a means by which privileged co-eds can make the right connections, build “social capital,” and get laid—is obviously on full display here.

    Cynical? I call that realistic. That's what privileged co-eds have been using it for the past 100 years.

  • I'm not following SO practices, but I it will come for it as well. It's inevitable. Those who paid billions for it will require a ROI

  • Can you give an example of this enshittification for profit?

    reddit.com

  • Yes, it's what I was referring to in the second part.

  • "Free to use" on a VC-backed service just means you're the product. I am accusing them of the same thing I'm accusing each VC-backed service: That they exploit our efforts to cash out and then sell the service for someone who will enshittify it for profit.

    Also, what do you mean "easily downloadable"? Can anyone download the entire corpus of SO in a way that they could set up their own SO with the same content to bootstrap them?

  • The need for the service that SO provided won't go away. Eventually people will migrate to new places to discuss. LLM creators will either constantly scrape those as well, forcing them to implement more and more countermeasures and GenAI-poison, or the services themselves will enshittify and sell our content (i.e. the commons) to LLM-creators.

  • Never again will I help provide content to a VC-backed service just so that they can rugpull us and cash-out.

  • Oh gawds, I thouht the vid was a takedown, based on the initial ridiculous clip. but no he's actually serious.

  • If they haven't taken action against the the genai scraping bots going around, it's likely what causing those slowdowns
