As is the way of my people 🇨🇦, I would like to make an apology. It is as follows:
Sometimes, in the heat of the moment, I will say things I later regret. So take this as a blanket statement: if you and I have ever gotten in an argument on Lemmy/Piefed and I called you a mean name (such as ‘stupid’, ‘angry little elf’, ‘grumpy little fella’, etc.), then I am sorry. In most cases, I was not the first to one to fire a shot, but that is beside the point. Please accept my apology nonetheless.
My other account is @a_gee_dizzle@lemmy.ca
and anyone who even so much as questions the reports is called a Russian bot or a Russian troll or a MAGA fascist.
That doesn’t really match my experience
So I’m fucking sick of people saying that Trump is a Russian asset and that he’s doing the Iran thing so that America becomes weak so that Russia can finally take over the world
I agree that this seems implausible
Why does it have to be one of these two extremes? The reality is likely somewhere in the middle
Maybe pushing Piefed instead of lemmy would be the way to go. Piefed has a more beginner friendly UI and makes it easier to find new communities
Right I see. That is an advantage
You cannot kill the will of the people. Relevant video
True, but I think it would be a good thing if this place was less niche. The world would be a better place if Lemmy/Piefed surpassed Reddit in terms of total users. Open protocols > corporate overlords. That said the federation aspect of it might make it disjointed enough to maintain that niche feeling. Your particular instance could still be niche even if the wider fediverse is not
It might be harder to manage with federation but, at the same time, it makes corruption more difficult. Reddit is a good example of this. They could manage this problem well but they don’t, because the corrupt overlords that manage it are a single point of failure for the entire network. That would never happen with lemmy/piefed because we could, like you said, just switch instances
Yeah but ideally you’d want to federate with the wider fediverse, where there may be bots. Because a social network with population one sounds no fun
Wow, I knew the problem was bad, but… Jesus. How do we prevent something like this from happening on Lemmy/Piefed if they end up getting really popular? I guess the fact that post history isn’t private here helps
What if we could build cities like this, but for average people? Would it still be outrageous? That seems like it might be a good way to fight back against surveillance
Whats the XZ thing? Im out of the loop
This is why they’re infiltrating open source projects
Are they infiltrating open source projects too now?
I see. Thanks for the info
How would this work exactly? The post office would send cash around the same way they send letters around, or would they just handle direct bank transfers?
Thanks for all the hard work you put in for making a create social network (Piefed) and helping grow the fediverse 🫡 I appreciate it. Keep fighting the good fight
Other than Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies, what’s the solution to this problem?
How would the moons gravity affect the growth of crops?
What’s wrong with Nvidia? Genuine question
Technically, they are predicting the next token. To do that properly they may need to predict the next idea, but thats just a means to an end (the end being the next token).
