Oh wow thanks for the reply! I’ve never read about this topic at all so this will definitely be fun to tumble down

I know! I was attempting humor myself. I’m just bad at it.

This is the best way, for sure. And there are a lot of really great selfhosted projects for doing so!

RSSbridge may have you covered there! They’ve got a bunch of instances running you can check!

I think it’s the same reason the CEO’s of these corporations are clamoring about their own products being doomsday devices: it gives them massive power over crafting regulatory policy, thus letting them make sure it’s favorable to their business interests.

Even more frustrating when you realize, and feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, these new “AI” programs and LLMs aren’t really novel in terms of theoretical approach: the real revolution is the amount of computing power and data to throw at them.

I do love that Lemmy is injecting a little bit of the old-time Wild West vibe back into my internet usage! It’s refreshing in and of itself!

I think it’s time somebody made a Lemmy version of AccidentallyWesAnderson!

I think a big help will be creating a streamlined sign-up process in the apps themselves. Menus to pick a server and create an account. Maybe tell the user which servers are biggest/ask if they wanna browse servers by specific content leanings. That way it’s not intimidating. I’m a tech guy and even I was a bit perplexed in the beginning and that will keep anyone with a non-technical background away: we tech nerds forget that things not “just working” isn’t a feature in the eyes of a majority of people. (For better or for worse.)

Not that I don’t believe you, but do you have a source about that? Quite literally for the sake of my curiosity/further reading

“Intelligent adult” + funko pop collection….who’s gonna tell him?

Honestly, at this point, my plan is to nuke my account. The only communities on their that I really check that aren't on here have devolved into mindless rage-bait. Probably a so-long and good riddance situation.

Personally I don’t think there is anything they could do gain trust short of undoing their data harvesting. Which would destroy them as a business entity/platform.

He’s fine….his balls? Not so much

Granted I need to figure out how to browse communities….but if there isn’t a Lemmy version of /r/rimjob_steve we definitely need to make one. That never got old for me.

Edit: I went ahead and created the community! Find it here!
