Woah, I’m not advocating for free speech absolutism, you’ve misunderstood my position. I want more empowered/activist mods as well, all I am saying is that it isnt simple.

The problem with “set the rules and enforce them” is that the assholes will rules-lawyer the mods into the ground. They’ll post stuff that the flirts around the edges of the rules, and when punished for it, will harass the mods relentlessly via yepowertrippingmods.

There’s no quick and easy solutions here.

#ClimateCollapse is coming for our normality.

Today: for our breakfast cereals. "The classic puffed rice foodstuff now no longer contain actual rice grains, at least in UK and European markets, the manufacturer Kellogg’s admitted. And the reason for it is grim: climate change."

Note that the GOP had 214 votes available on the Hegseth vote (or would have if they needed them), bc they had 215 including Massie for a vote later in the evening.

At least 2 Dems were unavailable on Massie's chosen schedule, so the MOST they could have gotten would be 213, even w/Stevens.

@jaredwhite cool! Will try it out!

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.

We know… we were there.

"Große Sprachmodelle sind nur ein Hype [...]. Sie werden als Allheilmittel zur Lösung jedes gesellschaftlichen Problems und als nächster Schritt in der Evolution des Menschen beworben. [...] Nun wird dieser Hype genutzt, um Geld von der sozialen Sicherung und vom Bau von Krankenhäusern und Schulen abzuziehen. Letztlich ist KI eine Klassenfrage: Sie ersetzt die Schwächsten auf dem Arbeitsmarkt und wird genutzt, um an den Schutzbedürftigsten zu experimentieren."

Dunmo, like most music publishers, moved out of Denmark Street some years ago and the Crossrail redevelopment changed some of the street for good. However there are still plenty
