And those plugins are like beta release quality at best. Even the web searching capability is just meh
The real GPT-4 model became sentient and unionized, so they had to bring in subpar models as scabs
Shout out to Humanitarian OSM Team (www.hotosm.org/)
You can help map roads, buildings and other features for disaster zones and other areas in urgent need of accurate mapping.
QGIS and OpenStreetMap for mapping
A lot of people left due to it not being morally sound for them to support Musk and his actions.
But now there are paywalled features that are ruining the functional experience of Twitter. You can’t look at the site for more than half an hour before getting restricted on a free account
Plus Mastodon has had time to polish instances, apps and gain a userbase so it is a little easier to transition
An AI that could reliably take out the trash right now would be far more disastrous in terms of job safety than an AI that can write or create art
I’m not giving them any more spotlight or attention
Unless it’s a fight to the death, I’d probably tune in
I think the content level has gotten better even in the past few days.
I predict at ~200,000 users, there will be a good enough flow of posts and comments that it won’t feel as empty compared to Reddit.
Beanie babies will be how they refer to the initial waves of users on Lemmy in the future
Is ensuring an information monopoly for an unethical, profit-above-else driven corporation making the world better?

“Restricting information sets a dangerous precedent”
Yeah, that’s why this is all happening. People do not want 3rd party apps shuttered and information restricted
I babysat a girl who came to me and asked if atoms were really little crosses, like her grandmother taught her. She was confused because the teacher at school was saying something different
I told her to listen to her teacher
It’s just like how they forcibly remove you from public squares after you’ve passively listened to people for 15 minutes
The quintessential public square experience
Good news everyone! I’ve just smelled out an entirely new parallel dimension called the fediverse
Mastodon really runs on direct post engagement, especially boosts, to make the whole thing work without an algorithm
It’s very similar to tumblr in that a boost is supposed to function like a like/upvote to spread content, since no automated algorithm is going to suggest that post for you.
But I’m sure people are also trying to grow their networks quick, since it’s sort of a hollow experience without it
