@chad she is grasping desperately to hold on to power

I’m heartened that Peter Wehner thinks that deep moral revulsion is losing the President his base. Sadly, their only moral revulsion is that he promised lower gas prices and they went up.

What was you experience like? Did you use the built-in messaging? Did you feel that it respected your data privacy enough?

If you maintained one, did you have any major issues or concerns?

I’d love to have an alternative to fb marketplace but nothing seems to be as user-friendly to get people using it. I would love to eventually start a server if it is doable for a semi-capable person.

As an admin on Fedi, I used to welcome new users, fight Nazis, and suspend trolls.

Now all I do is fight against the endless army of soulless scam machines, forever marching against our server walls in an attempt to destroy the community we've built here. It's exhausting and disheartening. At least the Nazis and Trolls were real people who would get pissed and fuck off eventually, but the LLMs will run as long as someone pays the electric bill for them.

Get AI agents the fuck off Fedi!

They're an existential threat to small instances, and they're a primary contributor to moderator burnout.

@GossiTheDog glad to see that AI has solved the Trolly Problem.

We really are living in the Upside Down.

New, by me: Tech Firms Dismantle Botnet That Turned 1.3M TV Boxes Into Proxies

Google said today it worked with industry partners to dismantle a botnet made up of more than 1.3 million Android TV set-top boxes that ship with malicious software which secretly rents the user’s Internet connection out to strangers and conducts advertising fraud. Experts involved in the takedown say the action is likely to sever the botnet’s access to more than 10 million additional compromised systems, including other Internet of Things (IoT) products such as Android-based healthcare devices and karaoke machines.

It's like Model UN, but less consequential.

WA state voters: there’s an anti-trans-girls initiative on the ballot that needs to fail miserably. Once again trans people are being thrown under the bus as a political distraction; let’s send a message (by 8pm on Tuesday!!) that we’re smarter and kinder than that. https://nohateinwastate.org/
