  • That's fantastic. Strong "f you" spirit in this one. Three cheers for human coding with feeling!

  • How did your country vote?

  • Spez (Reddit CEO) just put out an announcement talking about how they'll verify bots vs humans. Get ready for a wave of new users into the Fediverse pretty soon!

  • Yup. Conspiracy theories aside, the bot problem is an actual hard problem to solve.

  • "the left" is not a monolith. A lot of people have various relationships with"the left". I don't identify with "the left" much because I disagree, strongly, with being put in a groupthink box. I happen to have some beliefs that the groupthink box on the left has vhemently and painfully attacked me for. But I also REALL REALLY REALLY think the right is wildly wrong, because they're being simplistic, stupid, and very very corrupt. And I STRONGLY object to corruption. I happen to genuinely and unironically love my country and the promise of a fair chance for all. I love clean water. Clean air. A healthy wilderness ecosystem you can spend time in. Hard work that does good for the world. I love the freedom to research, honestly, and speak freely and without fear.

    I don't see the right sharing some key parts of those values these days. But I'm concerned the left has become too inactive, too sullen, too much a party of victims who lash out reactively.

    Don't have a solution yet except to vote.

  • I don't feel like I'm constantly sorting through low quality bot shit to find a human with authentic human expertise.

    I do miss the long chains of wordplay, the sense of humor and fun. But Reddit gave that up for ragebait ages ago.

  • Might be breaking an NDA by posting this but I got invited to the "ebay kitchen beta" and everyone needs to see this

  • I live in the middle of fucking nowhere and I am SO EXCITED for this.

  • Great! You hate old people, awesome, that's absolutely how you ensure old people shrug when the lasers fry off your legs.

    It's ok to try and find a way to communicate WITHOUT HATE.

  • It's a LOT easier to make bots fake being human than it is to detect bots faking being human.

  • Welcome! It's WAY quieter over here because it's mostly people, not bots.

  • I would tell folks on Reddit to come to the fediverse but I deleted all my reddit accounts.

    France bids to suspend Shein over childlike sex dolls

  • In theory this is non-harmful. In practice this is part of a fantasy escalation ladder that leads bad places. Your actions are led by your thoughts, and you are the thoughts you feed. In reality it's a good thing to not feed thoughts of abusing children.

    I'd note that I'd be similarly uncomfortable with people buying hyper-realistic dolls to practice amateur torture on, but I'm ok with people buying silicone dolls to practice tattoo art and wound stitching on. The difference being intent, which is a line I'm equally unhappy with the government drawing. Someone slicing up a slab of silicone shaped like a baby because they have a desperate desire to hurt babies that they are actively feeding into is bad. Someone practicing stitching up silicone babies after injuries because they always wanted to be a doctor and never got the chance is healthier and fine. It's the "what are you feeding with this action?" Problem of governance.

  • Jesus fucking wept that's gross

  • What is your preferred political ideology, and why?

    Jump

  • I am a pragmatist. My decisions on issues are entirely based on context. Right now I believe we need government services for necessary things to increase because the free market isn't providing them due to misaligned incentives, and if we don't want to live in a complete shithole world that needs to change. Absolutely nothing is preventing us from living in a complete shithole. There's no higher power out to save us. So we better step up and organize to save ourselves.

  • My only problem with growing the platform is we have no scalable model for preventing bots. And any platform with an audience because an advertising bot platform the second it gets noticed.

    Why republican/conservative men repeatedly crash Grindr

    Jump

  • "Ugly" as an insult does more damage when it's aimed at a person who was taught their only value in the whole world was how cute they look, regardless of gender. It just happens that the majority of people who were taught that from birth were women.

    Nobody does beauty and the beast with an ugly chick and a cute guy without explicitly trying to undermine the ideal of beauty as intrinsically the sole function of a woman. Men get to be primarily funny, sweet, handy, clever, etc, with handsome as a potential secondary add-on; women generally need to be beautiful, with any other characteristics being the secondary add-on.

    And we're not taking about things you can choose, like hygiene and smoking status. Just looks. A woman who's kind but ugly always turns into a beautiful swan at the end of the male fantasy story.

    If you call someone an inbred thickhead it hits about the same. If you call someone a slimey booger it hits about the same. If you call someone a useless empty ghoul it hits about the same. But you gotta know visual insults like ugly have broader social context.

    And to be clear. A HUGE amount of this problem is intensified and maintained by the billion dollar beauty industry, which LOVES insecurity. It's working hard to monetize men too! But it's still a work in progress there.
