This is also why they are desperately trying to pass every law imaginable to make communicating as a queer person hard or illegal, and to prevent kids from reading any queer content online

The post bots are a new thing of the last few months. Look at the mod on almost all those communities. Came in and set up shop a while back. To take advantage of the low activity.
I don’t have anything against post bots explicitly or modding multiple communities. I have two. However there should be limits
So long as they are labeled as such, I have no issues with it. The intent seems more than clearly to aid rather than deceive.
@mattblaze I exclusively hang out with people terrible enough to get a ride to their medical appointment.
Let's start a gang.
@Rob_T_Firefly @mattblaze I'm barred from driving for medical reasons, so I mostly take the bus. Mind if I join your gang anyway ?

Here's the thing I can say to younger queer folks now in case they don't know this: before the internet they told us there were ZERO others like us. ZERO. They told each and every single one of us that we were wrong and alone and didn't have stories that deserved to be told in fact had stories that could not be told at any cost.
So when they say there aren't *enough* of us now to defend our rights, to stand up for basic human rights, when they say we're too few to consider, too fringe, too little too vulnerable, too outside to consider? They're lying again, still and always.
They want queer people to feel like we're alone when we really, really, really fucking ARE and HAVE BEEN and WILL ALWAYS be here and if you feel alone because everyone around you says you are, remember they lie.

Anthropic IPO warns its AI could blackmail people, become sentient, end humanity
Seven potential AI nightmares pulled from Anthropic's 93-page "Risk Factor" tome.

the plot is unraveling
@romin what about the backstory
I've been patiently waiting for https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/proposal-eu-kids-act-eu-keeping-internet-digital-spaces-accountable-and-trustworthy to come back online so I can keep working on IFTAS' advocacy for carveouts/protections for independent social web operations vis-a-vis the KIDS Act.
I'd been assuming the various cybersecurity issues of the past week had impacted access but I finally had the bright idea to see if somehow it was me that was the issue, so I checked the site from different locations.
And, huh.
Looks like I might not be able to submit comment after all.
KIDS Act aside, here's the EU and adjacent age verification/restrictions for social media/gaming recently moving ahead regardless:

They're not holding hands yet but I think they are heading in that direction.
@venya adorable. <3
@meena @hipsterelectron no :')
@meena @hipsterelectron As in, I am not ready (but I am not optimistic either)

Wait, dang it, I was aiming for "LinkedIn", but I think I hit "programme note".
There has never been a better time to introduce young French people to the wonderful world of decentralized social networks and - optional - #selfhosting.

@_elena @joachim that will need to be done IRL... Because the mass media won't mention it even in Europe and the alternative would be to create TikTok content everyday in hope the algorithm does not shadow bans us for promoting alternatives before we reach an audience.
Gotta print zines and hand them at highschoolers in the street
@farah Part of it is leaning into the negativity. Letting it all out and then dealing with it. It's messy but it works for me. 😊
@TheBreadmonkey uhhh ok. If it works then yay
Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for "Everything Is A Conspiracy When You Don't Understand How Anything Works" Tote Bag. Haha very true. Unless it's my conspiracy theory that geometry is a hoax created by the government to sell more rectangles. Anyone who disagrees is an idiot.

@lowqualityfacts If you’re not too picky, I know where you can get parallelograms cheap.
@molly0xfff I present a small-time Linux-related podcast. We've started getting lots of emails about "interesting" github projects we might want to talk about, all with very LLMy language.
@marxjohnson @molly0xfff same. Multiplied by 6 shows.
Seriously, 24GB for a minor OS update? Insane.
@paul All LLM? 😆
