  • I suspect retrofitting a whole new identity system to Fediverse will never happen because server admins, or instance admins, will come up with all kinds of reasons why they don’t like the idea of not knowing who their users are. Some of them would probably allow it, but I bet a whole bunch of them wouldn’t, and we’d get into this fragmentation where some servers won’t allow posts from those types of identity, etc. It seems to me much easier to take Nostr and just give it the functionality you get inside the Fediverse.





  • I don’t really care if content I create is used to train LLMs, but I do object to Reddit monetizing the content I placed on their platform. Without somehow rewarding me for that content. I’d rather just post it here and let the LLMs train on it and let the value accumulate to the LLMs. I do think there’s a greater good for humanity. And just because I say something intelligent or unintelligent, I see that as a gift to the greater good of society. I did not create that gift as a benefit to Reddit shareholders but having said all this I’m realistic, and the best thing I can do is try to keep the value I add within open platforms like this one.






  • I just came in here, looking for these exact questions and was about to post them when I saw this thread

    Marking posts as read also sync to the server? I know this was an issue in the past because it couldn’t be done as a batch? I know I posted some thing about this topic along time ago, and that was the answer.

    I am also looking forward to doing community specific searches.




  • I don’t object to my content being used for training. I do object to Reddit profiting from that data. It’s the reason I basically don’t participate on Reddit anymore. Anything I post in the fediverse I am aware I am offering it up for free to be crawled and used as seen fit as long as it is not monetized without my consent. I don’t consider model training to be monetization.






  • I really try not to judge on these topics. If I can somehow justify they’re not relevant to the job.

    If you’re a religious person with a suppose, moral compass, when Trump cheated on his pregnant wife, with essentially a prostitute, doesn’t that raise all kinds of red flags? I don’t know. Honestly I’m just asking. I don’t go to church and I’m essentially agnostic but my moral compass makes me run the other direction when I see something like that.
