Block and report. We're all in this together!

As you said, decentralization is key. Highly active human moderation is the only known solution to keep communities free and tolerant, and human mods have a relatively low limit as to what they can handle without making it a full time job (or burning it out)

The Lemmy network is still centralized enough that many smaller instances make the calculus that it's better to be federated with the large weakly moderated instances than to lose access to the many small communities on those instances.

But increased decentralization makes more granular defederation possible. A weakly moderated instance can simply be blocked.

I think we'll get there in time.

This fact of how LLMs work is not at all widespread enough IMO.

I read it twice and it still doesn't make sense

"Lemmy" is not a single place, it's software that anyone can use. The phrase "Lemmy as a whole" is a contradiction of terms. If you're looking for a censorship free space, just create your own instance. If you're looking to force your speech upon others, check out Reddit.

Yes exactly. Within the MAGA universe loyalty is paramount. What the do looks strange and contradictory to us, but in the universe where one man decides reality, the more you can make that reality a well, reality, the more valuable you are. Even in defeat.

I've actually always preferred a look with minimal scan lines but there's no question that pixel art looks significantly better on CRT.

This may be a dumb question but isn't OTA TV still basically exactly what you describe?

b4 actually switched with dr pulaski but it was very brief and off camera

It sounded like a stretch to me at first, but if you consider that the very concept of intelligence as something quantifiable and measurable (like IQ) implies a linear scale where some (guess which ones) people are simply better.

The funding behind AI comes out of a belief that it can be a tool to control and influence the population. It makes sense that it's origins would be in something similar.
