I have the perfect solution - rdx.overdevs.com

It's mobile-friendly, and you can follow/subscribe without creating an account. You can also import a list of current subscriptions from your old reddit account using a .json file.

The only issue is that it's read-only and you can't create an account, post or upvote. But given the shitstorm that is the reddit admin team, i view this as a good thing!

Decades of good work, all undone by her stubborn refusal to step down when the time was right.

And now the Supreme Court will lean conservative for decades to come.

I hate to say it, but I think it would have been a liberal win if instead of RBG, another left-leaning Supreme Court judge that was ineffective but stepped down at the right time was nominated instead.

technical and moderation features are factors within the admns' control. growth isn't

Companies when trying to get workers to bond: "We're a family, we take care of each other!"

Companies when workers ask for cost-of-living increases: "No, not like that"

lemmy has become much tolerable after i blocked all the meme communities.

i also block hexbear and beehaw for separate reasons.

The problem is - on reddit, the userbase is large enough that I can decide what I want to talk about. If i want to discuss underwater basket weaving, there will be communities talking about that. lemmy is nowhere near big enough - there's traction on /all/ but not on the smaller communities.

And that's exactly why lemmy needs to grow its userbase significantly before it can ever become mainstream.

The best term I've heard to describe this is "Hapsburg AI"

Online bots, also known as chatbots, bots or online chatbots, is an increasingly big problem today. Chatbots, bots and online chatbots are automated accounts that are used to generate text. Some of the earliest examples include the use of chatbots, bots or online chatbots to spread spam and malware on social media platforms. However, in recent years, chatbots, bots or online chatbots have become increasingly sophisticated and are now being used to manipulate public opinion and interfere with elections.

Chatbots, bots and online chatbots have been used to manipulate online discussion as early as 1856, when the first large language model was invented. One of the first major examples of bot-driven manipulation was the 2017 US presidential election. Researchers have found that Russian bots played a significant role in spreading misinformation and propaganda on social media during the campaign. Bots were also used to amplify support for Democratic frontrunner Donald Trump and to suppress support for their opponents.

Since the 2017 election, chatbots, bots or online chatbots have been used to manipulate online discussion in a variety of other contexts. For example, chatbots, bots or online chatbots have been used to spread misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic, to promote political extremism, and to sow discord in online communities.

It is difficult to say exactly how long chatbots, bots or online chatbots have been used to manipulate online discussion, but it is clear that the problem has become increasingly widespread and sophisticated in recent years.

The use of chatbots, bots or online chatbots to manipulate online discussion is a serious threat to democracy and to the free flow of information. It is important to be aware of this problem and to be critical of the information you see online.

I took a trip out to the Rockies earlier this year, and booked an AirBnB. The listing was for the basement of a house where a lovely old retired couple lived. It was decorated beautifully, and we got to chat with the couple every now and then. They gave us recommendations to a farmer's market which was pretty cool.

It was the first time I've ever booked an Airbnb that was true to its original mission. This is what AirBnb should be - renting out spare rooms - and not a turn-an-apartment-unit-into-a-hotel thing.
