Search by community is not working. If you go to search page, and select a community and click search, it will search in all communities anyway.

Could we also use AI in our benefit? We could try coding an AI mod helper, that tries to detect and flag which posts are irrelevant/agressive/etc. It can take the data of all modlog instances, and start learning what probably needs to be banned, and then you can have a human confirming the data every time. We could even have a system like steam’s anticheat where a few users have to validate reports as a user.

Spirited away, just because I saw it as a child and it got me hooked on Miyasaki for life. It remains one of the most fun ones for me. It has the right balance between reality and fantasy, between fun and action/danger.

It also has that feeling of looking at a strange world as an outsider that I love, which is the reason I liked the first harry potter film/book for example. The wonder of a new, strange world with new rules that we do not comprehend.

Even if they do, they would not be able to force instance owners to update to the closed version. And people would take over the last available open source version and fork it. Also, a closed and open source version could co-exist, since the api is open.

They do stuff like that sometimes, like twitter is doing now, by putting a woman CEO right after Elon set everything on fire, so that twitter vocal minority can blame her and say that Elon was doing everything better. It’s what they call the Glass Cliff. Something similar might be happening here, without the anti-feminist part.

I’ve been trying to post content on all niche subreddits I used to lurk in. I basically get the non-reddit links and useful resources and start sharing them here.

Because a company has control behind it, not the people

At this point I think he’s immolating himself on purpose, and after the api changes are done a new saviour CEO will come, who won’t reverse anything, but with a clean record.

I wonder how will Google’s algorithm treat lemmy in the future. Maybe the uncontrolled/federated nature of it will make google ignore it.

I can already find some stuff on lemmy if I search for it. It will take time for everything to be indexed but I think it will work ok eventually.

I’d much rather keep seeing their content than not. The number 1 reason reddit is useful to me is because of the extremely specific and human information there is. I’d rather be able to look for stuff in one site even if part of it is read-only.

You want to know if pc component A and B work together? Some random person on reddit will have tried it. The normal google results quickly go into auto-generated stuff like the “versus” pages that just compare specs and are completely useless.

I think it might be useful to have a clearer UI about what is happening. So every user that sees content there and wants to participate can go and try to create a user on beehaw. I imagine at some point everything will settle down and federation will be back.

I think they are building better mod systems, but they are not in place yet. Or at least that’s what I understood.

That makes sense. I guess there’s no one stopping someone from creating an instance which has ads and tries to do a for-profit version right? The only thing that might happen is all the other instances un-federating it.

It’s like old bar names from when people did not know how to read, I don’t know what that fediverse and lemmy stuff is, I just go to the white monkey.

If lemmy every becomes mainstream the implementation details will be completely lost to people, and that’s ok. You can try explaining someone what a web browser is, but people will still say “I opened google” or even “I opened internet” instead of “I opened chrome”. With lemmy there will probably be a few huge instances that people just gravitate to, and if/when something goes wrong, communities will have to migrate, and users will have to try to get into a new instance.
