Infinity was a good replacement when Sync did its redesign, which I didn’t care for. Ah well. I don’t blame them of course, but reddit isn’t something I’m going to pay a subscription to access on a 3rd party app on my phone.

Lemmy’s “block” is essentially a “mute” function, too. It makes it so that you don’t see any more content from a user, but they can still make comments on your stuff.

Converso doesn’t care about privacy or security!?

Nothing. Literally, they just need to change nothing, to do… nothing. It is their actions that are driving people away. Today as of this moment, reddit is working the same as it’s done for the past several years.

Then again, I’m defintely enjoying my time here on Lemmy much more than I was at this point on reddit. This feels more like the early days of reddit, where you have more meaningful engagements. You don’t show up to a thread only to find 1,000+ comments, and likely one toward the top saying the exact same words you intended to say.

Yeah that’d be smart on their part. They’re already paying for the server space and the moderation team.

All of the main servers I’ve seen have a no porn rule. I suppose it’s only a matter of time until someone’s willing to stand up their own Lemmy porn server and take on the responsibility of moderating that.

Yep, you’ve made it to Lemmy. The lemmy.ml server, specifically.

I started playing Firmament a bit before I saw this news yesterday. I figured the mysteriousness would unfold bit by bit as the game progressed as we’re used to with Cyan games, but now it seems it might just be a hodge-podge mess of AI written material. Oh well, the puzzles have been fun and engaging and I’ll probably keep playing.

Squeenix - if you don’t hire this team and produce this game you’re fucking fools. But I think we already know that’s the case and you’re already furiously typing up the DMCA notices.

I found that I only encountered it when viewing ‘All > Hot’ or ‘All > New’, I believe. I thought it was someone spamming the server with the same thing to different subs, but I see now that it’s a bug.

So for now I stick with ‘Subscribed > Hot’ or ‘Subscribed > New’, and I subscribed to a crapload of subs.

Sympathies to them, yes.

Oh no! Anyway…

True enough, but I’d counter that the person who uses ‘yellow’ as the answer to the square root of 100 is a moron, and the person who accepts it doubly so.

A better example IMO would be using ChatGPT to write code via pseudocode. Sure it’ll spit out something for you, but you’ll still need to verify those results using your own knowledge, and test it before putting it into production.

Another, different, example would be using it to write up proposals, project plans, etc. - if it was so easy that an AI could do it, maybe we need to take a good hard look at whether it needed doing in the first place, or examine how we’re going about it.

It is a tool, albeit a smarter one than we’ve previously had. Like any tool, it can be used for good, evil, or moronic results.

I would say that if a thing can be destroyed by ChatGPT then it probably needed to be destroyed, or at least reworked to meet the times. It’s not a lot different than people saying that calculators would destroy kids’ ability to do math, or that Wikipedia would ruin people’s ability to do research. It’s a tool, with its strengths and limitations, and should be used as such.

For me I think it has to do with the fact that by the time I got to a thread on reddit, everything that could possibly be said about the topic usually had been said already. How many times would you visit a thread only to find that exactly what you were going to say is already the top comment?

Just figured it out myself - in the top-left menu, click your username and then +Add Account, then you can enter the URL of the Lemmy server you want to connect to along with your credentials. You can then switch back and forth between your logins on the different servers.

(edit) - Or do what @sexy_peach@feddit.de said below. I don’t know what I’m doing. :P

Of note - while logged into any one instance, you can also pick from the various filtering options:

• Subscribed - List posts only from communities you’re subscribed to
• Local - List posts only from communities in this Lemmy instance/server
• All - List posts from all (federated) Lemmy instances/servers

So, selecting “All” at any given time will show you posts from all servers that are federated (share creds) with Lemmy.ml.

If you’re talking about the equivalent of a subreddit here on lemmy.ml, that’s just called a “community”. Click the “Create Community” link up at the top of the site. If you want to create your own whole Lemmy site with its own communities you can do that too, but you’d have to read the documentation on that.
