  • Another legitimately great strategy is the Wally Deflector (hate that Dilbert’s creator turned out to be an asshat). Force them to do some work. Anything really works, just something to slow down the firehose and enforce that it’s a partnership working towards a solution. Usually the best way is to just ask for clarification and actual hard requirements.

    So many things just shrivel up and die when the person asking for it realizes IT isn’t going to just outsource their full responsibilities including domain specific knowledge or basic fucking thought for them just because it’s going to become digital or automated.






  • The fuck are you talking about? I’m not the thorn guy, and I do find their “quirk” annoying.

    A callout post about another user, like this one, is explicitly against the sidebar rules, and it’s a massive dick move to not just block the guy and instead make a callout post for something so small. I don’t want to see lemmy turn into the brigading fest that reddit could be at times, so I’m going to call this shit out.

    I’ve already reported it, which is the reasonable response. This callout post is because it marks a distinct pattern of completely absent moderation here, backed up by the fact that only one of the three mods has any activity in the last fucking year.

    My feelings aren’t hurt, I’m frustrated at the shit state of this sub, and I’m going to at least try to do what little I can before I do the responsible thing of just blocking and peacing out.








  • Now there’s a post directly targeting another lemmy user. What the fuck mods.

    Edit: I reported the harassment post, called it out in my own post here which also highlighted that only 1 of the 3 mods here have any activity in the past 2 years, and my post was removed. Fair. Still laughing that’s the only mod action in the sub in ages.

    I have no interest in herding cats (modding), but you could probably take the lack of mod activity up with the lemmy.world admins in whatever the instance meta community is and see if you could get added as a mod.



  • Nope, you use Reddit entirely at their whim. All appeals are handled by the same automated system that likely banned you in the first place, and trying to make a new account will get you banned again for ban evasion.

    There are various ways to hide and get around the ban evasion checks, but if you ever slip up, or they ever catch you again, go straight to banned again with no appeal.

    Your alternative is to move to other reddit alternatives like here. The more these alternatives can be built up, the less excuses there are to still rely on Reddit, until Reddit finally crumbles away.



  • Trading firms have been using ML and Neural Nets for trading and investment insight for ages before the current LLM “AI” boom started. I knew someone working in that space on investment derivatives in the mid 2010s.

    You don’t really need to speculate on it. It’s old news. This is just a joke about how there’s a new crop of suckers who are absolutely using LLMs for stock advice.
