  • Well, now that you know that this content is AI generated, and that this community doesn’t allow that, your next move should likely be whatever a responsible member of the community would do when made aware that they aren’t meeting the expectations of their peers. I suppose we’ll get to see what that looks like, if you’re not off flying a kite yourself.





  • I was an early Lemmy user, and joined back when .ml was basically the only choice.

    It was weird, but the thing that really got me considering a different instance was just how many words they added to their censor list.

    I messaged the admins and told them that it wasn’t a great system, because it censors posts with “removed” whenever a forbidden word is used, and because of that I can’t tell the difference between someone saying “bitch” and someone saying the n-word. How am I supposed to know whether or not to report such a comment if the offense part is obscured. “What a stupid removed” could be slightly sexist, or indefensibly racist.

    They told me “All slurs are bad, you should report those comments just the same”.

    Ay, fuck you guys, the words I gave you as examples are absolutely not equally bad, or at least, anyone with a functioning brain wouldn’t make that argument…

    That’s fair, but it doesn’t answer any of the questions about what should be improved. “Industry standards” is a vacuous term when the standard is defined by a singular piece of software made by one company.

    Sure, GIMP isn’t Photoshop, and those familiar with Photoshop will have to re-learn things to use it. But what exactly needs to be changed? The developers have no chance of improving the program if the feedback is this generic.

    I feel like the issue is that people expect a “Photoshop killer” to be Photoshop verbatim. Instead of focusing on making a good tool, people just constantly compare it to the commercial pack leader.

    Most of the complaints I hear about GIMP are just “x isn’t like Photoshop”. I would take the complaints more seriously if any of the people voicing them could actually articulate what should be improved.
