Which ones? Searched and couldn't find anything. This MotleyFool article is over 4 years old when COVID was still raging, hardly "recent".
Urban dictionary says it's a term that refers to when an undercover government agent fails to blend in with whoever they're trying to blend in with.
Absolutely, if you're seeing propaganda, it's because it's allowed on that instance. But the presence of propaganda has nothing to do if an account is an LLM or not.
Moderation on the Feviderse is different than on commercial platforms because it's context-dependent instead of rules-dependent. That means that a user accout (bot or otherwise) that does not contribute to the spirit of a community will not be welcomed.
There is largely no incentive to run an LLM that is a constructive member of a community, bots are built to push an agenda, product, or exhibit generally disruptive behavior. Those things are unwelcome in spaces built for discussion. So mods/admins don't need to know "how to identify a bot", they need to know "how to identify unwanted behavior".
I don't disagree at all, but I also think it's important to keep the conversation focused on the benefits. eg: "I'm happy to trade Reddit's UI for a platform that doesn't encourage toxic behavior" (and so on).
EDIT: The threadiverse will not ever be Reddit and we won't be able to please everyone, I think it's important to portray confidence in the platform and not get bogged down defending the (less important) flaws.
Great image, saving that. Stuff like Lemmy will need to be brought up repeatedly for it to stick in people's minds and an image post makes that easier.
Redditors gonna reddit.
Upvoted! I like that this is not in a RedditAlternatives community or anything.
EDIT: had to laugh at this comment:
"this site is a bit confusing, but the bigger deal breaker is the 'not for profit' angle for me."
People are saying that Renegdes is actually the only canonical Star Trek
When the show with the Black lady aired a lot of """longtime fans""" and YouTubers decreed that it was "not canon" because of XYZ...
you can skip the signature part (i signed it with a fake name cornelius flycatcher)
You're right that it's nothing big, but the kind of people super into purity tests tend to congregate on the fediverse (which I find a little ironic but am also happy to have some people around who accept no compromises).
Well I do agree to it as written lol. I didn't realize this was a matter of opinion.
You won't get this meme but trust me it slaps
I know DS9 is considered the "dark stories" one, but it's still bursting with optimism compared with the majority of scifi out there.
Perhaps if you gave an example from the TOS to illustrate what you mean by "enabling bullshit" your position would be more clear?
They are just covering their butts legally against someone suing them for typing a URL into the URL bar.
Can anyone help explain "Dot and Bubble" to me? (spoilers obv)
Theory: The EMH in "Academy" is going to be the copy from "Living Witness"
A video of two Americans discussing their confidence in the Democratic party to find a winning candidate.
You know things are getting real when a Starfleet officer takes off their jacket.
