Yeah, decentralisation has a lot of downsides. It’s definitely a barrier to entry for new folk. But at the same time, it has the single most important killer feature available, and that is that it’s can’t be controlled by a single profit driven corporation.

Try and throw a cassowary

We’ve got instance level disabling of downvotes on lemmy and piefed.

Decentralisation.

I will never use any other kind of social media again.

Slightly? It’s openly racist

Why is Cachy more independent than Arch?

It will change society. It won’t improve skills.

Studies already show the opposite at play. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.08872v1

If the LLM could teach you how to code, but couldn’t do the coding for you, it would be a tool for improvement. But it isn’t used that way. Instead of saying “teach me how to code this”, people are more inclined to say “code this for me”.

On top of that, they’re controlled by corporations who are not in the slightest bit interested in your welfare, privacy or economic success. They will invade your privacy, fuck over the environment, fuck over people and load their LLMs with propoganda and barriers that serve their political and social interests.

And as a bonus, they’re a nightmare for the environment.

Having said all of that. I agree, they are going to fundamentally reshape society. But it’s like the industrial revolution. Yeah, we ended up with a more efficient society, but it didn’t make people freer, it further entrenched wealth in the hands of the wealthy, whilst fucking up the environment. That’s what LLMs are going to do.

We could do them differently. That implementation isn’t inherent in their nature. But we won’t do them differently, because the people pushing it want the shitty outcome, because it’s not shitty for them.

Think of how shitty and scam filled the early internet was. Did we abandon it because of how shitty it was at first,

It wasn’t though… That was mid to late term internet

Our setup uses a domain pointed at a dynamic (but stable) IP with a script to update it periodically

Assuming I knew that my behaviour was being modelled and this model would influence the outcome, I’d remove myself from the decision making process and flip a coin.

If you don’t know just say you don’t know or don’t engage, don’t call me or others names in the comments. Let’s keep this civil.

You could use asklemmy or something similar

They do, but only by passively monitoring RSS feeds for new content that exceeds your current quality. They don’t do active upgrade searches unless you manually trigger them.

The distinction is important if you imported some or all of your media library, rather than building it from scratch with the arr stack stuff. It also matters if you source some your content via providers that don’t have RSS feeds.

!femboy@lemmy.blahaj.zone might be an option?

Kagi has a fediverse search

Yep. Thus demonstrating the stereotype :)

Believe it or not, you don’t speak for all everyone who isn’t’ cis.

The only person in this conversation trying to speak for all trans people is the person you’re defending

It’s telling that the only fault you see is in the voice of a trans person defending themselves, and not in the voice of the person saying that trans people don’t actually exist, they’re just people confused about stereotypes

Go and re-read the post of the guy you’re defending.

His opening sentence was literally “Being mtf or ftm trans is conforming to gender stereotypes with extra steps”

He is quite openly saying that without gender stereotypes, trans people wouldn’t exist, and that trans people are really just folk who are too caught up in gender stereotypes. He continues to express that opinion even after trans people directly and openly talk about their identity and how it is distinct from stereotypes.

I’ve been having these discussions for a decade or more now. I know red flags, I know dog whistles, and I know why those things are problematic. And to be frank, you don’t.
