oh shit what uppp? on my way to federate

I miss the From Software fanbase on reddit. there’s a few here but they’re spread thin and horribly inactive

isn’t he on some kind of wokeness in video games crusade still? I’ve heard some shit

they do, but what you’re describing doesn’t electrify superstitious Americans the way a story about a virgin sacrifice does. hell Christians are more worried about satanic rituals than they are about literal pedophiles.

we can get into the why of that but I get the feeling you already know

I thought the Wikipedia page sounded sanitized but since you are the first person I’ve ever heard mention them, I’ll take your word on it’s accuracy. TIL more about secret societies

I’m not super familiar with fraternity hazing antics but I don’t know if those work the same as what we conceptualize as cabal rituals. people seem to be more disturbed by say, the Freemasons doing stuff that just boils down to Christianity with cloaks. but can you educate me a little on Skull and Bones? search results regarding them are either full on NWO raving or completely sanitized

I will add that what you describe applies fully to Jeffrey Epstein’s mansions and compounds. dude’s primary directive was to collect blackmail info. probably safe to assume that to his clients, it was all mutual

This is Drue Langlois, his videos are pure artistic genius😌👌

believe it or not, the myth of elite cabalism exists to obscure the fact that they simply pay and blackmail politicians. it’s so much easier than petitioning the supernatural.

as far as literal porn goes, people only want to post it where it can get an exponential following and direct traffic to places like only fans. very very few reddit posters are posting themselves without eventually posting a linktree so to them there’s no point if they can’t make numbers. which they can’t here, we just don’t have the userbase

on lemmy though I’ve seen the Oglaf comic has its own channel, which is kind of fun to spot in the wild. otherwise you kind of have to go looking for communities that will specifically be about “sexual humor”, and like you said those are either cursed or dead

America has some weird shit going on compared to other empires in history. I think the term probably started as a cope when Britain decided to stop pursuing retaining it as a colony, but that’s just speculation on my part. It’s not a dog whistle related to Joe Almighty Forgetter of Spaghetti or anyone, I promise

I think it says some pretty bad shit about the American experiment if old age is how he gets out of office

I wouldn’t go anywhere without my lovely towel

Bluesky? I run in some circles over there but it stays pretty sanitized. I would dare call it insufferably sane-posting

how in the ever loving fuck did I not hear about Ryan Routh. that should have been everywhere

That is a possibility. Data from interacting with actual humans reduces the rate of model degradation. Maybe somebody does feel like they would get better results here. But they’d have to go to the trouble of sending requests to join instances and federate communities. It’s not a whole lot of work but it’s slightly more overhead for a website that gets way less hits than reddit as of now.

You’re not naive dude, you’re living in unprecedented times. It’s sad to see people get jumpy at the idea that all of our interactions are becoming simulations of real ones but in some places it literally happened. I don’t even fuck with instagram, facebook, or tiktok because I’ve seen the brainrot there that got created because the platform incentivised it. Stay curious and don’t let the bastards grind you down👍

I came here specifically to get away from the chatbot daycare hellhole that reddit became. Share some of your insights about these accounts and I’ll tell you a little about why reddit got so bad. Fediverse doesn’t really offer the same kind of incentive to somebody who’s trying to train an LLM on comments but who knows.

On reddit, the biggest incentive for people to want to train LLM’s is just the sheer amount of data there. Reddit is insanely big and the karma system is basically a “weight” value similar to how neural networks already categorize info. Even if somebody notices the obvious bot account, enough people there will still interact with the bot sincerely that it gets the interaction it’s trying to provoke every time.

Also it’s easy as hell to set one up to run on reddit. Simply verify an email address, subscribe to r/newtoreddit and and bunch of other subs that don’t require karma to comment, and then only give votes for the first month before finally starting to leave comments. Reddit claims to screen for bot accounts but deviating from this specific pattern of conduct is something that gets new users comments flagged for review. Reddit is actually only screening real people.

If you want to talk real tinfoil hat shit, this is probably by design. Chatbots drive up traffic and interaction not just with eachother but specifically with the humans that will also severely inflate usage statistics to look good to advertisers. the ones who leave comments following common “redditisms” and patterns of discussion over and over and over and never get sick of saying the same things.

Basically, I’m hoping none of these conditions exist here. So far doesn’t seem like it since fediverse isn’t hiding ads as posts, blocking VPN users, or taking such a heavy handed involvement in moderation.

60 yrs and many wars later:

“you know maybe I don’t love a capitalist Shah for you. do you think you could maybe try the republic thing again, just so I can compare them? still sell me oil though. don’t not sell me oil, like, ever.”

that too
