Maybe I’m a pessimist but this is going to really resonate with the people who are “looking forward to AI” because they read headlines, but haven’t actually used any LLMs yet because nobody has told them how.

Good point, though I would counter that there’s a lot of blustering about taking our country back but I haven’t seen many serious attempts or people capable of actually planning and executing such a thing, and I’ve had a good bit of contact with what y’all would consider to be American far right rebels.

For all I know, the far righties talking about their revolution is about as productive as the tankies talking about theirs. Nobody sees a future in this country where the workers seize the means of production and we actually eat the rich, right?

I’ve enjoyed my time on the fediverse but have been disappointed with the leveling off of growth and lack of participation in niche communities. I still visit Kbin several times weekly, but it isn’t like the old days when I would spend tons of time on Reddit. I have left my old Reddit account redacted and haven’t started using it again, as that time is over. There are some communities and niche interests that unfortunately, it looks like Reddit will always be the main home for since we didn’t hit the critical mass for people to move those communities over here. Because of that, I’ve started a new reddit account (with my real name attached, and started actively participating in those communities). For me, Reddit is no longer a place to anonymously participate in community discussions (because those discussions were becoming increasingly worthless alot of the time), but a place to participate with my IRL identity in communities related to topics or hobbies I care about. The anonymous community stuff is fulfilled by Kbin/Fediverse which I prefer now.

Hear hear, more consideration for social history of the ancients in general!

Oh man that’s terrible all around. Sorry to hear/read you are going through that Izzgo! A friend of mine had some kind of nerve searing procedure that helped with that kind of pain, any options in that space?

Very disappointed to see my employer on here with a D rating. Internal comms said we were out!

They are “inviting” mods to do even more free work in furtherance of Reddits profitability

This isn’t a problem. This is knowing how to reference community knowledge and technology instead of reinventing various shapes and sizes of wheels

One per year

You are right! I read and parsed it backwards and thought the comment was dire 🤣. Thought the OP was asking for plausible sounding falsehoods and the commenter said “you are loved and deserve happiness”. I retract my statement. I think Fediverse will stay nice. People on more main stream anonymous social sites are even mostly nice like this don’t you think?

Bigger instances and communities may end up being more PC over the years but I think smaller ones will retain this vibe.

Because of collapse or climate change? I don’t see the timeline as being that short at this time, but interested in learning more.

I agree with this unpopular (around here anyway) opinion. People should do what they want to do and post/read where they want to, but I have 100% stopped using Reddit (after 12 years of Reddit - > Old Reddit - > Alien Blue - > Apollo. Overwrote comments and will delete the account once I’m sure no reversion of overwritten comments is taking place. Reddit’s gotta go, man. Even Twitter has a place in the world now, but I can’t forgive Reddit, it’s just gross.

As humans we are biased towards action and forward thinking. From the perspective of where you are heading after completing the turn, it was a U shaped turn

This is great! I found this sorting by New and these tips are applicable for anyone (not only those suffering from ADHD) to have a more authoritative and confident tone to your digital communications.

Open source LLM is the next wave.
