Now instead of a faceless notification destroying your account with no explanation, it will be a faceless notification destroying your account with no explanation AND destroy a bit more of the ecosystem.

TBH, the reply of “Dead internet theory” is starting to feel like a bot pattern matching on “bot talking to bot”.

Like we get it.

That’s what I’m struggling with. X is awful, Reddit is awful, tumblr is awful, and I can’t think of a 4th established platform that fills the nich. This is the closest, which is why I am here.

I got hit by a word filter too. Each individual word was SFW but the combination could be interpreted as hateful (even though it wasn’t in context). So they have some sort of intent-matching system that is poorly implemented, probably piping it through the cheapest haiku model they can access.

The vast majority of Americans have plenty of people to blame.

That’s before you consider book deals and other side gigs

Someone want to link that one dude who deleted all their work via GitHub desktop “discard changes” button

My rule of thumb is that there is very little point in planning for things that occur >5 years from now. Priorities change, external factors change, and so on.

That said physical health is maybe the single exception.

I’m new to this platform and not finding that in the community or general search. How do I access that?

Nothing would surprise me at this point, Reddit builds a platform that lets you get attached to your account & community and then takes it away without even having a human look at the ban. Total BS

Everytime I think about starting a technical blog I am reminded it will 1) be fed into the meat grinder and 2) people will assume it was a product of the meat grinder.

So for whatever value my technical expertise could provide the world - it won’t. Because AI exists. That’s the only reason.

But reddit rejects people for utter nonsense reasons. If you just use it enough you’ll eventually stumble into something that irks the wrong admin or gets caught by their word filter. So the “Reddit rejected” set is really just a random sampling of power users. Of that set, the hateful degenerates are driven towards X imo.

Reddit being bad? Never.

IMO this is over the line. Not grotesque per se but just, comical. It’s not appealing.

Heat rises. Consider adding a vent near the top with fans along the bottom to take advantage of the natural direction the heat “wants” to move.

Multiple things. And depending on where it landed, all of your suggestions are realistic.

I find the moderation here is not as clumsy / brainless as you’ll find on other platforms like Reddit. They don’t do things like ban you for having multiple accounts.

There is a lot of science we would like to do in space / on the moon that we can’t do on earth. Also some science that we can but shouldn’t do, such as some virus research.

They all trained on the same info. For generative models, “more data is better” is pretty much a global truth. And when you have a few dozen providers all consuming as much data as possible, they eventually all process all the available data with the same algorithm and all land on roughly the same product.

And that’s before you consider that in practice, people are only generating assets from a couple providers. So it’s literally the same product, not just two similar products.

Reddit is dying. Fortunately the fediverse is nearing critical mass such that every time you visit there is hundreds of new posts to sift through.
