I joined a few days ago. I’ve posted about a number of issues, all on a similar being (the loss of effective action through a reversion to performative activism).

Okay, contributing is good but are you going to comment this on any post relating to an issue you don’t care about?

bruh

That’s just for headline brevity. Read as “AI power users” or “power users of AI”

I’d like to extend my strongest appreciation for you and co. for continuing to facilitate one of the few comfortable places left on the net.

Shoutout to the Summit app for adding better crosspost viewing to Lemmy.

Example:

I especially appreciate how it easily displays the number of comments for each matching submission.

It’s one of their shorter, almost bullwtpoint type posts. Similar to their reaction columns. They’ve always been weaker but vI’m happy for any coverage this man’s criminal behavior.

Playing GHIII back in the day I always thought they were saying “cold, hot”

hot, cold, hot, cold

become cattle and sheep?

Undoubtedly. Ten years ago it was easier to ignore when he had an interesting guest. He’s been riding that momentum.

Actually, they just patched in more complex systems once we started getting wise.

That’s so depressing.

Yes, I don’t mean to be dramatic. I’m just extra cautious now.

It’s newer and new features materialize faster. Also the dev(s) are not tankies. But they also added an (optional) feature where upvotes are limited due to excessive influence of most active users? IMO this space is still too small for that to matter. If I want to spread positivity and reinforcement on contributors why should I be capped?

Still, it sets bad precedent. Call me paranoid but the Tesseract debacle has tainted my trust.

Objectively

Understandable, when I joined I was surprised to see accounts that were 4 years old since the vast majority of us had just registered.

Good to know some instances don’t have it but the philosophy behind the decision turns me off the project as whole.

I object to that kind of objectification.

What can we do to prevent it becoming law?

Edit: ‘9 hours later’

Nothing? Is it too late?

Piefed limits how many things you can upvote :/
