Over time you’ll realize Chatgpt has giant holes.

As a developer you do use tools every day – you probably use a rapid gui tool, you use a compiler, you use APIs, and they’re things you probably couldn’t build on your own. Even under MS-DOS, you’re using bios or msdos interrupts. The PC also handles lot of stuff.

So it’s just another tool, and it doesn’t do everything so you need to use it as one thing in your pouch. Don’t rely on it too much, and be mindful of IP concerns – ai is like a monkey with a camera legally, you can’t copyright whatever it creates.

Unfortunately even as a guy who wants to let people speak and who doesn’t want to spend time moderating, systemic risks like spam really don’t leave me much choice but to intervene. I set a hard captcha and signup review on my Lemmy instance because I saw what started happening to my peertube instance. Lots of sign-ups, but most of them couldn’t provide a working email address.

Wish people would leave our toys alone. :/

Friendica natively supports rss, which was one of the great features of that platform.

Lemmy does allow you to set a user as a bot, and there’s a separate checkmark to only see posts from non bots as I recall

Sexy! My websites are all run off parts scavenged from roadside signs.

As a neighbor, I appreciate your empty defederation list. Too many lemmy instances start off with the atom bomb instead of user or community bans in response to bad behavior from individuals.

I hope you have lots of success. This side of the fediverse really needs more intellectual diversity, and I get the feeling that’s what I’ll continue to see from lemmy.world.

As I understand it, part of the reddit protest once the blackouts were enforced over was posting and mass upvoting pictures of sexy John Oliver so the front page is filled with garbage.

Could be much worse, tbh. Another piece of software I run is called lotide. It’s a much simpler piece of software which has some appealing parts, but everything about each community you join starts from the moment you sign up. There could be a long history of really interesting posts, doesn’t matter. Every community you join it’s as if it was just created.
