Genuine question, what’s the best way to tell if someone is a bot? Just the nature of their content/reposting of articles and such?
That’s a great article, thanks for sharing
Maybe that’s something that could be remedied somehow? One bad actor making space on the Fediverse and using it to data harvest from everything else, or at least just all the users profile info on it even if defederated sounds like a side effect with mixed implications.
I feel like we are seeing lots of these tech companies just clawing at new innovations for profit cause they can’t seem to run a stable business otherwise without fucking things up somehow. See the the crypto/nft boom, AI and it’s rapid and still somewhat untested and shoddy implementation, etc. We’ve got strikes popping up in the US as the months go on cause people are definitely feeling the shittification of things in multiple industries including tech and entertainment as of late.
Everything tech companies like meta have been doing in the last several years is looking for their next growth fix to keep their investors happy while running their business like a toddler between sweets.
Elon happened to set Twitter on fire, Instagram is failing to beat TikTok in short form content or even competing with things like YouTube, Facebook itself has been shriveling up over the years, now there’s some cool new tech space in the Fediverse and no corporates taking advantage of it - probably looks like early crypto to Zuck if he can swoop in and outpace the open source projects with enough funding.
Is it just user activity that’s public? Curious to know about what is preserved on the backend, like if user removed posts/etc get stored somewhere accessible like this too.
Wondering this too, I would love to save some posts to come back to
Trying to break the habit, discussion content isn’t gonna start itself otherwise
I think my initial instincts were Lemmings for Lemmy, Kbinners for Kbin, and yeah when it comes to the Fediverse as a whole there’s a lot of room to play with the Fed in it. I’m having a hard time adopting Fedditor since it makes me think of Feta cheese + redditor, or like a f-ed up redditor haha. But I totally get your logic, universal sort of nicknames make sense across the different apps.
Speaking of which I have no idea what a Mastodon user would be called, I guess Twitter you’d just say a “Twitter user” so the same would go for it.
Can you explain how this would work a bit? I’m not familiar with the concept, but wondering if it means that funding would pool through a single system and be distributed across different instances?
Wefwef feels fantastic. As a RIF user I see why the Apollo folk loved the user experience - glad it continues on in a way!
I think it’s cause everyone here has to actually try and make meaningful content here as opposed to being jaded and doom scrolling while posting among hundreds of others - and getting told to use the search function. Every post rn has an impact so the vibes are good!
Crazy that even Google seems to be realizing that it’s search really leaned on Reddit for decent results nowadays… I’m curious to see if a bunch more things start to implode over time
Don’t forget tomorrow!
