Obviously its important, but pretending its not political doesnt make any sense. If a community doesnt want to discuss politics (and as far as I’ve seen the OP didnt say which community this was in) then its a reasonable post to remove.
Of course its political, what else would it be? You are talking about peoples rights (a political concept) being breached by an administration (poltical) using an arm of the government (political) as a paramilitary force (political).
Perhaps, I think its more likely that active moderation is the cause of that rather than word lists that let p!ss, pi$s and pιss through when trying to block piss.
The Scunthorpe problem is hard, and any simple blacklist method is bound to give both false positives and false negatives.
Seems to me pretty much an even spread of how good the names are
I know malls track peoples movements throught them and thats creepy as fuck too, though I dont think they tie IDs to individuals, just monitors where people move throughout them.
The rest of your post makes no sense, yes obviously peole can tell the diference between commuters wanting coffee and people on a night out getting drunk. But that is very different to having a label on everyone saying “came from my mistresses house” or “came from my weed dealer” on each person, which is more akin to the level of detail given by referal links.
There’s legitimate interest in knowing where people come from, though, and asking on your own page “how did you get here?” is hardly going to work
I fundamentally disagree, if shops started scanning people’s phones as they walked in to find where they had been last before they entered their shop people would be outraged, but somehow this has become accepted practice on the web.
Sure thats correct, but I’m a little uneasy with the idea of “burn down a useful resource for people becuase fewer people helped people results in slower increases of data to Reddit”
Reddit lost nothing when you deleted your comments, they still exist on their servers and are likely being used to train LLMs now. All that was lost was other peoples ability to readt them
Lovely debating strategy, name drop a philospoher, pretend thats an argument and then instead of saying how said philosopher actually supports what you are saying accuse others of ignorance.
A well earned block for you :)
You’re the one name dropping a philosopher saying that his work proves that growth of lemmy will result in its inevitable enshittification, give your reasoning connecting the two ideas.
Feel free to enlighten me how a 19th century philosopher who likely hadnt used a telephone dictates how a federated social network is vulnerable to capture by capital and squeezing first a captive userbase for the benifit of advertisers, then captive advertisers for platform profit.
Take your time.
“A philosopher said it” is not an argument for something being guarunteed to happen, especially when said philosopher said it 120 years ago and we are talking about the evolution of the internet and doublly especially as I have already given you a counterexample.
I agree on the UI front, making things more like reddits awful new ui is just a bad idea. Just that your premise for justifying that is wrong.
Yeah, its sad that wikipedia becoming one of the biggest sites in the world turned it into a over monetised hellscape, but that’s just what happens inevitably when you grow big, the capitalists get you.
The point you are missing is that yes, asking an LLM about these things is not at the level of advice from someone who knows their stuff. But if you dont know what you are doing and dont know enough to even know what the right things to search for are then even partialy useful advice about the thing you are trying to do is a massive help.
They propably would if a common topic of discussion was “this is how leggings have got worse today”
What do you use as a vm on an arm mac? I was looking into this a while back to run linux on my work m3 macbook but i couldnt find any good options
Hasnt Beehaw defeded from quite a few of the larger instances, including .world who the op is on?
If someone is going to single you out for looking at list that includes “cancer”, “divorce” and “loss of a parent” they didn’t need a reason to target you in the first place.
