Compassion ~ Thought
Bots are humans, at least in the sense that bots are initiated by humans.
So when a human’s tools misbehave, the human should be held accountable (except that’s not feasible).
Seen in this light, the entire internet is literally now under attack.

Those are columns. Rows are numbered.
Remember the human bills.
Written by AI. Also read by AI. Humans need not apply.
I wonder if it is more limited in certain contexts, such as on a mobile device (like on iOS? I don’t have one to test).
Do you mean… columns?
You are missing a ton of what I said.
First, YOU may not have a subreddit local to your town, but that does not mean that NOBODY does?
Agreed that Facebook is far worse, but then all the more reason to use Reddit as the lesser (albeit still) evil?
And again YOU may not read the political communities, unhelpfully named like “memes” or “comics” or “technology”, but that does not mean that NOBODY does.
The Lemmy “random” instance picker chooses lemmy.ml or hexbear.net sth like >80-90% of the time, last I checked, and if you visit Lemmy.ml you will see how the default view for someone without an account is Local (again iirc, last I checked), not All. Someone visiting from Reddit will have that as their first view, and seeing nothing worth sticking around for, and much reason to leave, your average American centrist aka niche content creator will nope right out and never return, often leaving negative feedback behind everywhere else they go (r/Redditalternatives, Bluesky, Xhitter, etc.) about their experiences on what they saw of “Lemmy”.
YOU have curated an extensive blocklist, and if you are anything at all like myself, tend to forget as time passes what the experience is like for a brand-new visitor.
I agree wholeheartedly that the ultimate goal should be to get off Reddit, but I was adding some context that sometimes people cannot do that so readily, and we here on the Threadiverse do not really welcome non-technical normies anyway. It is what it is.
I am not the person you replied to, but I thought I would add a different category of example: something location-based, like a specific city, or maybe an entire community based on your employer, etc. It is undeniable that niche topics are discussed more thoroughly elsewhere than here, where instead of welcoming people this place mostly just discusses how all people in Western society should be killed, which some people find off-putting (I know I do).
In American units, 1 foot.
Or perhaps I misremembered, maybe it was just 1 toe?
Especially the women! 😋
The modern Republican party is nothing at all like the older incarnations. e.g. George Bush was a progressive!
Not for the archive link, immediately below the original Verge one. :-P
In the place of problem-solving technology, companies have jumped on successive bandwagons like NFTs, the metaverse, and large language models. What these all have in common is that they are not built to really solve a market problem. They are built to make VCs and companies rich.
Even if stating the seemingly obvious, this article is a good read.
May I have two blood eagles please?
Are the AI apologists… AIs? 🤪
Disgusting, yet inevitable:-(.
