Is it like, a whole other network with different people or is it like a different front-end to the lemmyverse ? This is kind of confusing ? And what about that "kbin" I keep hearing about, is that the same deal ?
Look, without agglomeration there is already a strong bias for any topic to have just "one big community" on "one big server" like lemmy.ml. Because why would anyone post anywhere else than the one community with the most users.
That's the same reason everyone is on facebook and reddit. This is a fatal flaw of Lemmy. Just because there are many servers that doesn't resolve the problem of centralization if everyone posts in the same community of the same big server.
And no one will manually subscribe to 1500 "books" communities with 5 user each, even if they existed. The solution is a single view that sees all "books" community by default.
Basically the bubble IS the sentiment of the finance bro you are talking about.If you work in IT, you are probably already aware that yes, AI could do a lot of shit, but it's going to have serious downsides that might now be surmountable economically. Listen to the Tech Bros and they are promising the moon, surely you can tell they're already have been running out of steam since GPT4 level. We're not seeing 30% improvements, they're fighting for single digit improvements in synthetic benchmarks.
We've seen this exhuberance before, history is absolutely littered with the corpse of the greedy money parasites who inflate the price of everything with their hype and try to get away with the bag before it all burns down.
When millions play chicken with a train it's going to lead to a lot of "corrections" down the line, distortions and corrections that we are going to suffer from while they wisk away to their crypto bro bunkers leaving us to deal with their shit.
This is so predictable and obvious, our politicians "sleeping" at the wheel, paid off to look the other way, while they'll get advance warning on their own gambles before it comes crashing down on us.
What a corrupt system, next time it fucks up, no bailout, these duckers can line up against the wall and their bunkers can get those 10 ton suppositories.
I imagine they get paid by intelligence agencies and advertising to shut down inconvenient and critical topics, positive discussions of competitors or criticing of the product, via overbroad catch all rules and moderator discretion.
Things just as likely to happen on Lemmy until every user participates in crowd sources moderation, all moderation actions become transparent and moderation are only optional action lists executed client side
(no modlog is not transparent, it's quickly autodeleted and very hard to search, therefore difficult to audit broadly and even if you found violation, you will find only deaf ears to complain about it)
Yes, I expressed outrage at a disgusting state sanctioned murder in Iraq and suggested the invaders perpetrating these horror deserve to see the same kind of violence in their own cities.
Permaban of the entire website forever. I could easily evade the ban but, this was also when the API trouble and the "reddit is fun" app stopped working.
The writing was on the wall, duck that place and everyone in it. I won't be taken hostage anymore.
I never looked back and I'm glad I did, I was wasting so much of my precious time in that ducking disgusting dump. I hope Lemmy doesn't Septemberify for a long time. I really hope steps are taken to prevent centralization and owner dominance of Lemmy before it becomes reddit with extra steps
Hello, I am here to condone copyright infrigement and advocate for the abolition of the intellectual property regime and the criminalization of pro-copyright advocacy for they are enclosers of culture and therefore the enemy of humanity and should be ground into a fine powder.
I imagine people making that claim accept air travel as useful and "AI", really, all datacenters as not useful.
I've had people tell me oh, air travel is more efficient per mile that road travel.
But this ignores that people wouldn't drive thousands of miles if it was not as easy as booking a flight.
As a user, I just want to go to /c/pancakes, and I think I should see the entire pancake fediverse, leaving the question of who is and isn't included in that list up to me and maybe a informal discussion on /c/metapancake for users to trade blocklist of the really bad pancakes, to apply at my leisure client side.
Leaving as little decision making ability in the hands of instance owners and their moderation delegates. To free the pancake community as a whole from having a /u/spez or a /u/gallowboobs or some other creepy spook from Edwards Air Force base putting a noose around their neck !
I agree, I believe the fediverse as it exists just create many "mini-reddits" the problem still exists and the incentives to concentrate attention into "big instances" and "big communities" will almost certainly recreate the same problem that reddit does. Except with a fragmented audience, the misdeeds and abuses of admins will be harder to detect and more confusing to escape.
So, I agree, without serious steps, taken urgently to disempower instance owners and their lieutenant moderators I believe Lemmy and the Fediverse are already doomed. An aristocratic class of server owners will have free reign to gaslight the small remnant of reddit refugees into believe whatever their interests desires.
And based on your username, I suspect that you are one of these owners, that this is the real reason of your objection to further disempowerment of instance owners and that what I see as a nightmare is in fact your dream.
If you don't want what your posts being seen, put them in increasingly obscure places, I'm pretty sure we can even have invite only communities, or undiscoverable communities that can stave off eternal september forever.
But this is a social network, it exists for pro-social reasons, it should not cripple itself for the sake of the unsocial. Without agglomeration systems, lemmy is becoming the same as reddit, and that will eventually lead to tyrannical owners and mods, community fragmentation where everyone becomes a mutual hostage-taker of everyone else to the benefit of moderators.
If you don't want to become part of the community, there are many unfederated servers you can use which won't even be visible by outsiders, from your description I think that's what you problem is, you don't want to be on a federated server. At least maybe one that doesn't allow outsiders in.
My understanding is that flip phones only do calls and sms ?So I never call or text.. Only thing I use is an XMPP client, web browser, youtube music (until I replace that with selfhosted) and would use maps (but right now I broke the GPS on my phone so not that ...)
So I don't think I could use a flip phone, mostly because none of these applications except maybe music work on a flip phone ? Webbrowser needs a full sized screen...
That sounds interesting but my services are mostly in lxc container with dynamically allocated dhcp addresses (I do not wish to maintain a list of static IPs)
And that makes it hard to start them on demand based on incoming connection like you would an httpd process daemon.
My services are only refferred to by hostnames, for instance vaultwarden.lan, but this address does not resolve when the LXC is offline. I guess I could make a static DNS entries in the local dns server and point those to a LXC container orchestrator to stop and start them as they are accessed.
But also, just leaving them all running and ready to answer queries is, so much more convenient if I have the RAM for it.
But I'm sure there are cases where this is the way to go, but I don't know how to start LXC containers based on sockets without creating static leases and static dns entries, I really like how IP address and DNS names are completely automated on my network !
