‘Not attracted to men’ is probably what you’re trying to say. Lesbians can still have men in their lives that they depend on, just not in a romantic/sexual sense.

So real. Need to start complaining about paywalled articles more.

The part that bothers me isn’t the specific ban on LLM projects, or the specific ban on cryptocurrency projects. It’s that a hub built around “free software” is now telling its users which kinds of software are deemed good and which are not, and that is closer to censorship than it might seem. Once a platform writes into its terms that an entire category “harms its reputation” and can be removed on that basis, the deciding factor stops being whether the code is legal, or functional, or useful, and becomes whether it aligns with a position the platform has taken. […] Every platform I can think of that took this approach became divisive the moment it started enforcing an ideology on its users, whatever that ideology happened to be, and however justified it looked at the time.

As acknowledged, Codeberg already doesn’t allow non-free software on it, that is itself pushing an ideology on its users. Extending this stance to other forms of software isn’t the big deal the author is making it out to be, software being free doesn’t absolve it of other moral implications.

We now even have people like Linus Torvalds making the fairly reasonable argument that an LLM is just a tool, and “clearly a useful one”

Appeal to authority. See this response.

Why is "^Yuri|^WholesomeYuri" in the community name filter? Why are anime lesbians hard blocked, while ani.social is just in the default user filter?

Filtered communities on instances that aren’t blocked: lemmy.ml/c/worldnews

ml is in the instance filter?

I mean it’s not like ‘closed’ AI is an especially great business.

If Moonshot were selling traditional software, adding millions of users would be relatively easy. Instead, every new customer increases the company’s infrastructure bill, capping its growth.

This is just how software service companies work?

How the hell do you make a living off interactive LLM slop (but with a school girl veneer!) and not know about Microsoft’s Tay? This was what was always going to happen.

Workers at ZA/UM once again facing the consequences of its managers decisions. Sad as ZP is by most accounts genuinely pretty good, though I haven’t got around to playing it myself yet.

Does this logic also apply to human corpses? Like if I go to a morgue…

It’d probably be nicer if it did, tbh. I don’t know how you make a Yorkshire pudding worse, but they did it.

Bean on toast isn’t even bad. It should be jellied eels or a toad-in-the-hole.

Huh, so this is how I discover neither futurology or fedinsfw have registration applications enabled. Their admins probably should change that.

How is it already a scam site???

Genuine question: does this mean that PieFed is now no longer ActivityPub compliant? Is it not fully part of the Threadiverse anymore, and is now its own little subset of that? Even Mbin still accepted vote counts, even though it added boosts (“increases” and “reductions” iirc?) on top of them.

Let’s not catastrophise. Piefed is still ActivityPub compliant, or as compliant as it was. Nothing in the spec says you have to accept an activity, it’d be pretty nonsensical if it did because moderation wouldn’t be possible.

Could you tell from your look at the code if PieFed is only throttling its own users internally, prior to votes federating out, or throttling incoming votes from Lemmy as well?

It’s throttling incoming votes as well, you can see that here. It honestly wouldn’t make much sense if it didn’t, though it is irksome that it blocks announcing the vote to other instances. That makes piefed comms something the really active users will avoid.

Also this is so ridiculously easy to get around: most of us have a variety of obvious and self-acknowledged alts across the Threadiverse, but I doubt PieFed is going to maintain a mapping among all of them

Even if they tried to do that, people would just stop being forthcoming with their alts.

My 241st vote when it realises it’s going to a piefed instance:

You said in the release notes that this was about server load, but now it’s about people voting too much for your tastes? 14K unique people cast at least one vote in the past day, I really doubt 10 people are having a great impact on the rankings. And if you think people are bots manipulating the rankings, then wouldn’t it be better to bring it up in the admin chats so they get banned?

Also, what’s the methodology you’ve used there? You say the top voter has 23K votes, but from feddit.uk’s data the top voter is at 19K, who happens to be a p.s user mind you.

Wow, this chart is genuinely great. You must be so mad about today’s news.

Both, by the looks of it.
