It’s not social media that did it. It’s monopolistic, unregulated, greedy, giant tech corporations that made the internet shitty.

Arguably any time loop is a paradox as it has no beginning. It kinda breaks cause and effect but I mean yea we’re talking time travel so I guess we shouldn’t be surprised.

A pi with multiple terabytes of storage?

Any third instance that is less generic and more catered to your interests or physical location would be better.

Also keep in mind that lemm.ee does not defederate from a lot of instances - this is bad if you care about a well-moderated space.

Tbh I think even such a thing is not that great for children. Certainly not traumatic or close to it, but just not very effective I would guess.

Like a 15 minute time out is ok.

Locked in a room or locked out of the house? That is not okay, regardless of how long it is.

If you are hosting a Lemmy instance, I suggest requiring new accounts to provide an email address and pass a captcha.

The captchas are ridiculously ineffective and anyone can get dummy emails. Registration applications is the only way to go.

Sometimes t’s difficult on an individual post level unless there are telltale signs. Typically have to look for patterns in different posts by the same account and account for writing styles.

The problem is that this is only going to get harder. First of all, AI is going to get better and be able to produce more natural sounding stuff.

But also, people will inevitably get affected by AI as well and people will drift towards sounding more like AI too. So both AI and humans will converge on each other and they’ll likely be impossible to tell apart in general in not too many years.

I’m not sure how we solve this tbh.

Theoretically this shouldn’t be a problem with proper canonicalization but I don’t know if it is done well enough or if it is bad for the SEO ranking regardless.

Yes, Lemmy is dominated by people with a certain propensity towards tech. You can’t use Lemmy users as a gauge for what is good UX I would say.

I couldn’t agree more and I see it everywhere as well. It’s systemic.

Which would you choose based on their website?

Problem is, people on Lemmy are techies who might actually prefer the Gimp site. But any “normal” person would not.

Where are you from? I didn’t realize anyone outside Denmark or maybe some nordic countries made these. :)

On the other hand, there’s probably also almost no reason to upvote it. OP will see it, there’s no need for it to be the top comment.

Honestly I kinda wish the Rust devs would rather go and support a project like Redox OS and then maybe we can have less drama about all this.

Not what OP asked, but what OP needed to hear.

User blocking also doesn’t block votes so they’ll also still influence your feed.

Wow, a legitimate use case for shorts.

This is a legacy from the past of typewriters. Please never do this.
