Just a smol with big opinions about AFVs and data science. The onlyfans link is a rickroll.
And compounding the issue is that there isn’t a better alternative to discord in terms of feature set and accessibility. Matrix is the closest, but its just… not there yet. There’s no option for people who care about privacy that isn’t a steep downgrade, and that just sucks.
(I don’t want to come across like I’m nitpicking because no, to be clear I’m genuinely interested in this.)
That many communities are hostile to the devs shouldn’t be surprising, because unfortunately the lemmy devs are openly bigoted and most communities don’t like that. And that’s ignoring how Des is also a genocide denier and dismisses the human rights abuses of china while championing authoritarians (ex: their profile banner is currently an image of Mao), things many communities explicitly do not allow.
Without knowing which user you’re referring to I can’t speak to the scope of what they’re doing, but a single user isn’t exactly evidence of hate groups or hate communities specifically set up to target the lemmy devs. That’s just reprehensible people being criticized, and then one potentially freak user taking it beyond what is reasonable.
I’m not entirely sure what that means.
It’s a great game imho, but I was gifted my copy - in no world is any game worth €80, this one included, it’s completely divorced from reality to charge that much. Fucking tragic the publisher just killed it on delivery.
Theee are hate comms for the lemmy devs? I’ve failed run across them, huh.
It’s a testament to (if nothing else) the ability of the piefed devs to behave like adults that I know nothing about them personally. Nu/Des are horrible people, both politically and interpersonally, but that’s the beauty of FOSS: Those of us comfortable with separating the software from the creators get to stick with the software we prefer over one that lacks features or broad support (i.e. all the piefed apps I’ve tried have been pretty rough). Same energy as why people still use windows instead of linux.
A lot of people hesitate to promote lemmy because of how transphobic / authoritarian the lead devs are. It’s unfortunate, but if you’re concerned about that then piefed really is the more attractive option (I like my comment history too much to have switched yet but… man, it’s getting hard to justify not having done it.)
Right now the moderation tools available appear to be on the level of “thog bang rock on other rock - make smaller rock, easy to eat” and efforts are primarily aimed at introducing Thog to the concept of fire so he can at least cook his rocks.
The few automoderators I’ve seen attempted have been “ban you over a couple downvotes” bad, so AI content moderation seems like it may be a bit ambitious right now. It’s a good idea, but more work needs to be done before we’re at the point it’s feasible to start working on it. Like teaching Thog the concept of nuance, and getting him to stop trying to eat the keyboard.
I can’t imagine the effort that moderating a project like that would require, I suspect that the ongoing efforts to address fediverse moderation will need to progress a great deal more before a project like that becomes viable (unfortunately)
How often do you check the summaries? Real question, I’ve used similar tools and the accuracy to what it’s citing has been hilariously bad. Be cool if there was a tool out there that was bucking the trend.
The firm said the SDK helps gamemakers bring real-world products into gameplay, “bridg[ing] the gap between virtual gameplay and real-world retail” and permitting players to link their Walmart accounts and complete secure purchases without leaving their game.
So it’s just direct integration with a fulfillment platform to ease merch transactions?
… dafuq?
Well sure, if that potato is a suppressor potato. Registering suppressors is pretty absurd, no argument, that it’s a potato is not the objectionable part here.
This isnt a particularly unreasonable example, I really can’t understand why people are mocking it. It doesn’t matter what the silencer is made from or if it works (at least half of the suppressors I have used have been totally useless), just that the person registering it claims it meets the requirements. Why would they lie?
This is basically a guy saying “hey I told the government service set up to record blue objects that something was blue and they believed me, tee-hee” when it the something in question was a potato, painted blue. It’s just dumb.
Don’t get too excited folks, Nadella’s never been right about anything before…

They banned me from StableWerewolves and that doesn’t even have any posts for me to have downvoted. And for the more active ones, I can’t find another post I’ve interacted with in StableDiffusionWitches (or the dragons one, or several others I was banned from). Unless there’s more there that I’m not seeing I literally was banned from SDWitches because of a single downvote (from seven months ago).
I’m not saying “don’t ban the trolls”, that’s obviously fine - someone downvoting the majority of your posts across your communities isn’t interacting in good faith. But you can’t honestly say I’m a troll, I’ve got what four downvotes accross all of them, of which two might be federation issues? Should I really be getting mass-banned with a "no you’re the problem for not liking us enough >:( " message?
If I’m a troll I’m the worst troll ever, and that’s why I’m saying those mods are being hypersensitive - even in the best case that it’s not just a federation issue with the downvotes and I really did do it, I’ve gone seven months with four interactions. They need to tune whatever method they’re using to decide who’s a troll, because if that is the threshold they’re clinging to to justify how persecuted they are that is incredibly unhealthy. Even r/conservative, the biggest exclusionary echo-chamber I can think of, is more lenient with their bans than the StableDiffusion[Family] mods are being. Are they really so much more reviled than actual unapologetic nazis that they need to be this hypervigilant?
Maybe the reason they get people DMing them isn’t just that they run communities devoted to AI slop (and it’s incredibly trendy to do things like call it “AI slop” right now), but also that they’re banning people from communities with no content, for no good reason, and with a very rude victim-blaming message while they do it? And that’s a shitty thing to do?
You downvoted the comment where I explain that I think there’s a technical issue so it’s not like you can claim you didn’t see it. And on top of that, their comment even demonstrates they banned me over a single downvote - are you really going to pretend like you can claim a victory here? The instance admin themselves just came in and demonstrated my criticism was absolutely correct.
So… they literally do ban from a community over one vote? Assuming your examples are right, I’ve interacted with StableDiffusionWitches once and now I’ve been banned.
Honestly, is the tool they’re using broken, or more likely just… not very good? Regardless something funky is going on, because you’re accusing me of having downvoted a post which you can see on my UI doesn’t show as having been downvoted - the other downvote in Stable Diffusion Art also just doesn’t show as something I’ve downvoted. Does the tool not account for un-downvoting content, maybe? I occasionally bump downvotes while scrolling, which I then undo - but I don’t even know if that’s what happened here.
It doesn’t really matter though - this is absurd behavior for a community to be engaging in. Even accepting the records are right, two of the four votes I’ve been condemned over were from seven months ago. That’s not “downvote troll” behavior, and it’s not even indicative of behavior from someone who cares enough that they need to “tailor their feed.”
Again, I didn’t care about them at all until I was banned from there. Now, I think they’re hypersensitive and need to be coddled so they don’t have to accept that their content is wildly unpopular with the wide userbase, and that you’re trying to defend that behavior with the weakest possible argument you could make for… some reason. Tell them to tone it down, maybe? Because this is ridiculous?
There’s shitloads of AIs reading the fediverse, too. Absolutely doing the same infomining as the discord age bot - but it’s not the moderators doing it, at least.
