Are there any cross platform peer-to-peer social networks that people actually use? in c/[email protected]

Peertube seems somewhat active. Dunno if that counts as social media.

Would it be boring to live in a world where most of our works are done by machines? in c/[email protected]

No. I have about a thousand things I'd rather do than work.

Will the bot reposts go away? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)
 

I think today was the closing of the API, right? So all the bot reposts on Lemmy should go away now? I'm looking forward to posts from Lemmings dominating my feed again.

That's interesting. I wonder how they deal with false positives? Conceivably, you could have an AI generate intermediate "partially complete" digital art and then argue that you have evidence that the finished work was created by hand with screenshots etc.

No worries. Good luck!

FMHY and Meta in c/[email protected]

Yeah, I know, but it's possible it could drive more users to the fediverse- for example, if they federate, then try to monetize their platform in such a way that users drift away to other instances to avoid ads or what-have-you.

I'm willing to see what it looks like, but I'd support defederation.

Seems reasonable.

FMHY and Meta (lemmy.fmhy.ml)
 

I spent ~2 seconds looking for a post on this topic, and didn't see one, so if I missed it, that's on me.

A lot of people seem to be up in arms about Meta moving into the fediverse via a rumored twitter competitor called "Project 92". Obviously, this is more of a problem for mastodon than Lemmy, but since everything is connected here, it seems worth addressing.

So what is the FMHY position on this whole thing?

I want to do what I want to do, instead of what I must (lemmy.fmhy.ml)
 

Not too much to say, and you've probably heard all of it before, but I thought I'd drop it here. I don't mind my work, I dislike that I have to work- it spoils something that I sincerely love to do. More, it spoils the other things that I like to do when I'm not working. I have to deliberately remind myself that I'm allowed to sit and read without doing anything useful, because I feel like I should be using my free time to work on one of my side projects. My free time is limited, and it feels like a waste to use it on something as trivial as a book.

Because sooner rather than later, 8 AM rolls around again, and then I have to get back to it.

I'd like to read for fun without feeling guilty. I'd like to play a video game, or learn something, or doodle on a project without feeling as if I could use my time more productively.

I remember reading all day, for weeks, consuming fantasy epics with zero remorse or guilt, until I dreamed about fictional characters. I'd like to do that again - not all the time, just sometimes. When I feel like it. That's all.

YSK: you may be able to add your children as authorized users on your credit cards. (lemmy.fmhy.ml)
 

Why YSK: Some banks have no minimum age for authorized users, and report credit usage for them. If you have a credit card you don't use much, you can add your kids as authorized users, set up a reoccurring payment from the card and an automatic payment to the card, and then forget about it. Your kid could become an adult with an already-maxed credit score.

Lemmy politics (lemmy.fmhy.ml)
 

Hi everyone. Another refugee from reddit here. What's the drama with the Lemmy teams politics? I've seen a few people warn that they're not great, but the only example that I actually saw was an argumentative back-and-forth in a github issue about filter lists for slurs.

It didn't seem particularly damning to me.
