This is a way for white people to abuse power dynamics and harm marginalized people.

Moderation is a skill and requires experience, more than most moderators have. It’s ideally a paid role that people have to compensate them for the difficult work they do.

The mentality that its free or non-skilled work is due to tech companies being terrible role models for morality, worker equity, and justice. You cannot imitate these systems to succeed, they are based in bottomless pits of money that they use to squash human rights violations.

Judges in court systems are ideally well trained and experienced in the law. Its a paid gig and prone to being terribly abused.

When some instance that wants mutual aid posts to disappear gets a “judge” to do this would you tell the disabled person on your instance that they cannot ask their community for help? Where would you tell them to go when the people who make the most impact are cut off? Would they be banned for that? What choices to people harmed by “judges” have when they are targeted unfairly?

The amount of overhead managing moderation on one instance can be difficult, but sifting through decisions made by a bunch of anonymous “judges” sounds like an utterly depraved torture chamber. In the end the choice would be whether the instance agrees with the (unqualified, unvetted, unpaid) “judge’s decision” which ultimately brings this back to where we are now.

@baldur after the shorts, can we also get those on t-shirts?

@gnome For some reason, update to Fedora 45 broke my file picker in Nautilus specifically, here I am trying to change the icon of a dir:

In this episode Lt. Reed goes to shore leave on Risa but is suspiciously sensitive to light

A new status bar, too.

Yes. That's what they mean when they say "We should run the country like a business".

@TCatInReality @Th3G3ntl3m4n @pluralistic welp, that's what private equity has been doing to companies for a long time now. These guys just scaled it up when they saw it lying there ripe for the taking.

An early version has arrived with Firefox 160, letting you move a tab or a selected part of a page into its own mini window. Does that serve any purpose?

@mdiluz I think, given the mass adoption in the software industry, you can't really be held responsible for other people's choices, particularly after you've committed to a library (sometimes you can extract yourself from it, sometimes you can stick to earlier versions, but it's not always possible). Only your own

@optozorax no, I literally said "Not saying LLMs are equivalent". My point is if you replace "LLM" in your own statements with something that *you* find problematic to use, you'll see why others have a problem.

Other's see LLMs themselves as problematic on about 15 levels, so arguing "but they work" is irrelevant. It'd be the same kind of fallacy as saying "but my machine that kills 50 whales for every line of code takes only 1h instead of 40h to write code, is that bad usage of that machine?"

I administer my own instance of Lemmy and Mastodon. The CSAM issue was something I learned about real quick, unfortunately. I was able to implement community maintained blocklists. It’s not perfect, by any means, but I’ve not seen any more harmful content.

The idea of a centralized judicial system does not seem compatible with the spirit of federation. The safety we expect from centralized platforms is something we gave up for our freedom. With that, we do have to be diligent and deal with the bad actors. It’s the worst trade off in the whole deal.

It’s also impossible to enforce, I think. The Rage Against the Machine “f you, I won’t do what you tell me” spirit lives in all small server admins (by virtue of rebelling in the first place).

Happy circulatory system walking through the kitchen day to all who celebrate!
