We really don’t need a cringey “anti ai leader” on a place where 99.999999999% of users have a realistic view of what the chatbots actually are…

It’s like going to burning man and protesting against slavery…

No one is going to disagree with you, but people are either going to ignore you, or at most try to convey the message that everyone already agrees with you, your not accomplishing anything or changing anyone’s mind.

The only way it’s not a complete and total waste of time on your part, is if the only reason you’re doing it is so people pay you on the back and tell you you’re right.

The reason it’s important enough for some people to bring up, is that because of the way the human brain works, talking about a problem can release dopamine like actually doing something productive. So people can fall into the trap where all they ever do is “raise awareness”

And not only can that mean they don’t accomplish anything productive, their “awareness raising” gives other that dopamine and they also no longer feel a drive to do something productive about it, because they already got their dopamine.

So…

Tldr:

Whatever the fuck you’re trying to do with that account, is most likely to have the opposite effect.

I’ll never know if you just keep doing this, but I hope you don’t.

Yep, just had a brain fart.

Thanks!

Stand mixers (I know Kitchenaid) do this as well, they use nylon gear that will strip if the paddle gets stuck instead of burning out the much more expensive motor.

This is actually the story behind Phillips head screws as well.

When factory automation took off, they couldn’t program the machines to stop when a screw was tight. So it would overtightened and deform the product.

So automated manufacturing started using (very shallow) phillips head screws, and once they were tight the head would strip, the bit would spin free, and the machine read the lack of resistance as “stop”.

As machinary advanced, they were able to stop before stripping, and products had functional screws again. Because of that Phillips screws were able to get deeper bites, but they still can strip out eventually, because they were literally designed to do that when over tightened.

And we’re all just still using it, because that’s what most people use. Pretty much anything else is always going to be better.

So…

First you said it was made up…

I provided proof…

So now it’s not made up, it’s just totally cool that it happens.

You don’t see any issue at all with lack of logical consistency?

Just because that admin hid how to check on their instance, doesn’t mean they can hide it on every instance…

https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&modId=855573

That’s your main admin, constantly doing mod level moderation all over the place.

Anything they don’t like, anywhere on their instance, they censor.

Wow that went dark quickly

Wait till you hear about the “people’s” revolution under Mao…

Piefed has the option to use built in block lists for users and domains, along with a bunch of other stuff.

It all sounds great, but it’s someone else making those choices for you.

Like, if someone said:

Evil people shouldn’t be left alone with children

Like 99.99% of people will agree, everyone is onboard.

The issue is when a bunch of people then realize they disagree on who is “evil”. Some people will only disagree on minute details, others will be complete opposites.

So a logical person, would likely prefer an instance without built-in filtering, because it’s really not hard to do yourself.

That being said, some pifed instances don’t use those features.

Like, I could make a list titled “Nazis to block” and fill it with 90% actual Nazis, and then the other 10% is people who taste soap when they eat cilantro…

The vast majority of people would want that blocklist. And they’d just “join” it or however it works, and my silent crusade against non-cilantro enjoyers progresses because now their outreach is blocked.

It’s just a poor trade off compared to blocking the obvious problem accounts on sticking to well moderated communities. Especially since they that method, users won’t see their comments even on other instances

Then Person 1 should block those accounts for being idiots, like I most likely did years ago…

I’ve rarely ever seen anyone grumble about .world in a completely unrelated thread without cause

That’s easy, its all over this thread, if you don’t recognize it here, you’re not recognizing it elsewhere.

Like a colorblind person insisting the color red isnt real…

If you block an instance it’s users can still see your posts elsewhere and comment can’t they?

Yes, I literally said that earlier in the comment you replied to…

blocking an instance doesn’t stop you from interacting with the users.

And…

they can run their personal instance as they see fit. Isn’t that the whole point of federation?

Yes, that’s why I don’t make posts that they need to change, I just chimed in and provided context for why blocking their instance so you don’t accidentally stumble into their places…

Citation lemmy.ml admins do this please?

Their instance modlog…

Also isn’t this technically possible with every single instance of Lemmy?

It’s technically possible everyone ran an Epstein level child trafficking ring…

It would be insane to investigate everyone equally instead of just the people we know are doing it…

That should be obvious buddy

Stop acting like being on that list was exclusive to any demographic.

I’m on that and I’ve been called every political label under the sun as an insult on here.

I think Lemmy is radicalizing.

Ever since the reddit migration, troll instances who already existed on the fediverse saw a shiny new plaything.

When their home instances became defederated, their users spun up new ones, and were welcomed with open arms under the assumption they were new.

That bought them access to admin channels, were they could socially manipulate legitimate admins of major instances.

People who know controlled relatively large social media platforms…

People who didn’t receive any training and may not have had the best social skills to begin with.

So, what I’m trying to say is, it’s not all that they’re radicalized in the sense that their views changed organically. They’re radicalized like people taken advantage of by FBI informants into “planning” an attack.

The people telling them to do this stupid shit don’t think it’s a good idea, they just want to burn it down to watch it burn.

but i haven’t seen the users do anything.

It’s not the users people block over, blocking an instance doesn’t stop you from interacting with the users.

What it does, is block every community from that instance from your feed, that’s it.

People block .ml, because while some decent communities may exist, their admins will see your comments elsewhere, then find any/all comments on their instance and either harass you or ban you.

The block just means you won’t accidentally stumble into a place they control.

The minority of users who are really problematic, are likely to be banned everywhere else already

While I appreciate the answer…

Part of the question involved who I was asking:

Every time I see people from a handful of the same instance always try to pivot any discussion of one of the other handful of instances back to a criticize of .world, I go look at their post history.

“It is what it is” and commenting where the people are makes perfect rational sense.

But…

I’m assuming you don’t immediately try to turn any criticism against an instance whose politics you agree with, back on the mainstream instance.

If you did, then it wouldn’t be rational to spend all your time here

Thats the problem here: i don’t see any countries where laws are based on the bible and interpreted in a way that legitimizes murder of minorities based on their gender and orientation, and especially not such a widespread usage of sharia law.

The problem you have is those countries don’t exist?

The reason they don’t exist, is Western Christian nations never created them like they did for Islamic and Jewish extremists.

Seriously, whatever country you’re talking about, go look on Wikipedia at who put the current regime in charge and what it was like before.

If you don’t have a specific example in mind, use IRA.

And you are falling victim to the “no true scotsman” fallacy - denying that Muslims stance towards LGBT in general is absolutely abhorrent and often deadly where they have power doesn’t help anyone.

I’m saying by that logic (which is wrong) you should apply it to anyone that follows any of the Abrahmic religions.

There would still be problems with it, but it would be logically consistent at least.

Every time I see people from a handful of the same instance always try to pivot any discussion of one of the other handful of instances back to a criticize of .world, I go look at their post history.

I always see the same thing; almost all .world postings, a few of the others, and none on their home instance, or any of the ones they’re defending

I keep asking, never getting an answer:

Why do you hang around .world so much if you don’t like it?

Why not just block .world?

Again:

The actions of even 10s of millions doesn’t give you a reason to judge all 2+ billion.

It’s based on “religious law” by the interpretation of extremists.

Something shared with the other two Abrahmic religions and multiple others.

But at this point you are being explicitly bigoted and don’t have ignorance as an excuse

There’s billions of Muslims…

So you could literally show me 10s of millions that are dicks, and I’ll say that means thos 10s of millions of people are dicks.

I wouldn’t say that means all the billions of Muslims are dicks.

You could sub “Muslim” for any demographic, my logic would stay the same because I’m not a fucking bigot.

Oh wow…

People still using reddit said inflammatory things?!

Next you’re going to tell me everyone on twitter is actually the same person as their profile pic.

That’s because

You typed all that and didn’t realize Jack Dorsey owning Bluesky has something to do with everyone being funnelled to Bluesky?

It’s over half the masodon accounts…
