I'm not against artificial intelligence, it could be a very valuable tool, but that's nowhere near a valid reason to break laws as OpenAI has done, that's why I too hope authors win.

Content is just content, it’s links, it’s media, whatever

Content is not all the same, there's quality content and there's shitposting.

"facebook content" is mostly - to me - shitposting, astroturfing, botting, propaganda, etc. as reddit has become lately, while lemmy content is mostly quality discussions.

I don't want shitposting burying quality content here, that's what will happen if we don't do anything about it.

Not to mention corporate control, look what happened to reddit, and look at how many scandals there are about faceboook (now meta) as a company, why do you think they want to join the fediverse, they don't give a crap about quality, their only interest is in monetizing stuff, embrace - extend - extinguish, I don't want ANY of that happening to lemmy.

I think putting direct links to lemmy/kbin is what triggers bans the most, avoiding links should be fine enough.

Innocent until proven otherwise.

There are many years of proof already about facebook/meta acting very maliciously, actively breaking laws and being fined for it, is that not proof enough? How many more do you need before you can say they're not innocent at all?

If I wanted to see facebook shit I would use facebook, I stopped using whatsapp when it was bought by facebook, I don't want to see their content overwhelming the fediverse, that's why I'm here instead of there.

Fantastic news! Can we please do the same on lemmy.world? Please?

That always happens when a new platform is born.

Tech/nerds are always the ones moving first because they don't mind the quirks, they're not scared of bugs or instabilities.

They start building up communities until the platform is ready for the rest of the people, it was the same for reddit, tho it happened so many years ago the new people wouldn't even know about it.

Came here to say the same, it's BS, all mods asked their communities, most with polls, other with closely monitoring feedback in the blackout announcement threads, no mod acted on their own, they were all supported by the overwhelming majority of their communities.

No, but it's highly unlikely since before it's been buttered it doesn't know yet which side to fall upon.

I'm impressed at how well this server has been holding up under intense hammering, you're all doing a fantastic job!

So beautifully put, it was a pleasure to read!

I fully agree, I came here before the blackout started, with the purpose of being involved in lemmy communities as much as possible to stop caring about reddit (it worked btw :D).

Since then I've seen a few complaining lemmy doesn't have this or that, lemmy is not ready, etc., forgetting that reddit wasn't done in a day either.

I think the most important thing to remember is that we - the users - have all the power to build up communities, not the higher-ups always running after profitable quarters, it's we who built up reddit from nothing and we can do the same here, we just have to be willing and patient, as you rightfully said, and not give up at the small obstacles along the way.

I was thinking the same, especially after seeing several posts "demanding" Lemmy to change this and change that.

I mean, that's not to say there's no room for improvements, but if the first thing some people do when going to a new platform is wanting changes to meet their personal way of doing things, instead to try and adapt first to how the platform works and learn from it, in my opinion it means those people are not really interested in being here and make lemmy succeed, they're just following the "flavor of the month" and won't last long here anyway.

I think the fediverse being not so intuitive might be a very good thing actually, it can act as a sort of filter so it doesn't succumb to the masses ruining everything, hopefully.

Fantastic post! Thank you :)

It's also one of the very few that's been pretty accurate about it, I'm impressed.

People keep coming up with smarter and smarter way to protest, I love it!

It's most probably IBM forcing it, but yeah it's dumb.

That's stupid, I mean, cat nets are basically invisible from down the street, I have one on my balcony, your neighbors complained just for the sake of it, well done anyway! :D

You can also add your personal text in a text box when you create link posts, another thing you can't do in reddit.

Leaking industry secrets is a much bigger concern that boosting productivity a little bit.

We're talking about very specialized engineering work, it's not something you can totally rely on a bot to do, though it might help sometimes, it's fully understandable for specialized companies to want to ban GPT internally, until there's a way for them to host a totally internal one.

Ooh they changed them :O What .....
