It’s a very interesting thought, but it will always struggle to account for variables you can’t see.

It’s always going to be designed top down to approximate your own development as human from the ground up. I don’t douby AI as a feasible possibility, but I don’t think we’re headed for digital clones. They’re always going to have some amount of the creators ghost or assumptions in the machine.

Thank you!

I’m not immersed enough in the specific code to load images and would like to know as well, but I can attest it’s definitely a problem in email architecture. @dessalines@lemmy.ml is probably the party you want if you want first hand info.

Also a stellar example of why I wish we could actually work together a little more. The ideological opt out of raddles software shows there are indeed legitimate concerns on platform privacy, but rather than work to harden it we’re behind walls hucking pejoratives. Hundreds of years of team red vs team black, and I am exhausted with it.

I’ve checked the frontpage from time to time just to monitor what’s changing, but I have yet to log in.

It’s a distilled version of ‘the wisdom of the crowds’. With all the dog piling that comes with reactions to things that are pointed at the wrong audience. There’s generally some people with baggage in there somewhere who will take issue, and you get downvoted.

However, what’s always interesting about these platforms is where good ideas rise, where they come from, and how controversial they are, all of which you lose with the twitter/mastodon architecture.

It may be easier to find your crowd, but how useful is that to you depends on what you use your online presence for.

I’ve got 2, largely out of curiosity for what defederation meant as far as user perspective.

When exporting comes online I’ll likely make an effort to spin up an instance if it’s still feasible… So there will be a 3rd cake?On the positive side I don’t think you’re going to find many people wanting to sock puppet mild takes and noise rock.

Isn’t the key operating word here business?

With no advertising on the line and no operations currently in place operating at anything but a loss there isn’t a commercial interest at stake.

I mean the Internet and Ann landers get awkward questions all the time.

First there was beans, and they were upvoted, and the threadiverse saw that it was good?

Like legitimately no rhyme or reason to elevate beans above any other thing.

Honestly today, just like any other ordinary day, and for no particular reason more than any other: the greater hive mind woke up and demonstrated it’s first entire federated thought.

Ipso ergo beans. In every sort form and flavour.

Ahh always nice to revisit my first dose of propaganda.

I would have downloaded a car if I could have.

I think this is just the leading edge unless folks are lining up to replace moderators in most communities.

Systems tend to fail slowly, and then all at once.

Most fediverse denizens have noticed how sane and measured the dialogue is, which is entirely a product of the audience who is here right now. But everyone’s got a threshold, whether Reddit loses everyone or not isn’t relevant if they couldn’t be profitable with all of us. There’s a death spiral coming, and if there’s anything left Reddit will have to functionally change.

Easiest to think of Reddit as a party grinding on too long and starting to get rowdier, and the bouncers just quit.

It keeps them from participating by demoting them to the kids table, but you’re still in a glass house to some extent.

I think this is the right answer, but the structure is going to require some amount of frequent drama just like this every time. You can keep an open federation policy until proven malicious, or you can verify partners, but I don’t see the way around discussions.

Long term science.

Nobody’s taped someone to a table and shot em with those rays. And there has never been more of them going around, so there’s no comparison either.

When we say something is a cure or cause it’s born out of a ton of testing and time.

Alright, more of a eli5 as I’m more folk knowledge than a scientist.

It’s a narrower (more dense) wavelength.

If you think of signal, any signal, how close you are to it, the total power of that signal and the quality of your receiving gear are going to be your three major factors in “speed”.

5g gains the ability to broadcast more waves iif you’re close, at the expense of distance.

If you’re looking to send communications further; wider (lower density) waves face less resistance. Just the same way you can seemingly get AM radio (bouncing off our atmosphere) anywhere vs FM radio (line of sight), each has a function.

You can find rural houses like mine, or the futures trades riding from the burbs to downtown with microwave (narrower than 5g) connections. They’re pretty atmosphere resistant but require tuning to hit relays the size of about a soda can.

I don’t think the longitudinal studies have been done on what frequencies over long periods of time produce negative results, the areas of spectrum we are working with have no real analogues in scope I’m aware of. Which is exactly why there’s room to scaremonger over it.

Anecdotally I’ve worked a decade in an adjacent field and never heard of anyone contacting the plague.

In the days before Reddit ‘won’ you used to be able to find tons of niche sites/boards cultivating smaller audiences. Beer advocate/rate beer, headfi and whatever the latest splinter was there in the audiophile community both come to mind. There’s generally more division by which each might find more ‘aligned’ or maybe their friends are on one first.

I don’t know if it’s possible to predict, social dynamics are weird and this is going to be new for a giant segment of the audience.

I love this scene.

If anything my point was mostly self indicting. To anyone with a firm ideology I probably represent part of the problem.

It’s just a pithy truism, the reason is hopefully the higher rate of concern.

I mean from what I’ve seen the less abrasive frame would be ‘find a space for constructive discussion for the marginalized.’ I’m not really their audience, but I have eyes, they take an abnormal amount of shit in their day to day life.

I don’t think there’s a shortage of places in that universe to speak your mind, and I wouldn’t try to set someone else’s house rules.

Nothing more typically lefty than a good infight. Seen plenty of that too go around.

Honestly while the entire architecture is in it’s infancy we’d do well to remember being here to have a voice (or at least a front row seat) is a feature not a bug.

Better now than when the corporations get to the fediverse.
