@ramsey @brunty @afilina same. Instead, I have the joy of justifying the cost and defending that it lacks a lot of features (especially way better search¹) GH has

I realized that I keep explaining what Bugsy is and how it works, so I figured it was time to document the whole thing. What started as a simple Sentry triager has grown into a fairly substantial project that now tirelessly serves the entire company, with many processes depending on it. So I decided to map it all out.

here's my idea, the user can set a different indicator type for each channel or community, it determines what icon is shown in the taskbar or the browser's tab bar if there are unread messages, if there's more than one, highest priority (closer to the bottom) wins

reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).

the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.

another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.

size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.

we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

tl;dr: The CryptPad Team does not use AI for development, no AI in the product itself and we will send CryptPad.fr users a survey soon to gather their feelings about LLMs to write down a definitive AI policy.

Let's make this easy. Raise your hand if you *weren't* banging the Nvidia guy.

@stephan @nielso ich stelle immer wieder fest, dass viele dieser Entwicklungen an der eigentlichen Idee vorbeigehen: Wenn ich auf einem Instrument vor mich hin dillettiere, liegt der Zweck nicht in der Erzeugung einer perfekten Aufnahmespur für eine Produktion. Sondern in MEINER Freude am spielen und lernen. Wenn Suno erfolgreich lizenzfreie Pornomusik produzieren kann, hat das NICHTS damit zu tun, warum ich Musik mache und Instrumente lerne...

No, what made Reddit bad was incivility, bots, trite comments, and theme accounts (and my axe!). It was massively popular, which exacerbated this stuff, and it incentivized upvotes.

Lemmy has upvotes but people seem less interested in them.

Here, we have the ability to mute toxic groups (defederate). We are decentralized, so it’s not just one dickhead in charge. Our users are, for the most part, civil and somewhat intelligent and funny.

I was with Reddit from 2012-2015ish and then lurking on and off until the API shit storm, and we are nothing like Reddit in my opinion - not that that was the intent of the original post but still

The Methodist church is what succeeded the Ingredientsist church.

Státy EU mají v pondělí přijmout další sankce proti Rusku, které se zaměří na subjekty spojené s ropnými rafineriemi a stínovou flotilou, uvedla Evropská komise.

Novým primátorem Zlína je Čestmír Vančura (Zlín 21). Koalici vytvořilo hnutí STAN, Zlín 21 a trojblok, má 29 z 41 křesel. Vítěz voleb ANO je v opozici.

Even if you block the ads and ignore them the site is so heavily botted with these bots pushing all sorts of products.

One of the most useful aspects of reddit used to be getting other perspectives on products you were interested in. This is no longer useful because of the massive networks of bot farms. You simply can no longer tell what’s real on that site and what isn’t.

Are these Russian bots in the room with us?

@thirstybear Yikes. That sounds horrible :(

Wow, eine Mail vom Elster-Portal, die kein Phishing ist?
