There’s an event going on where you claim pixels on a grid for your team. If you hit an X then you get banned from the community and you’re able to continue in a different community. If you win in that one, you get unbanned from the first to keep going again. If you lose by hitting another X, you get banned again and you move to another community again. Rinse and repeat.

The background of the new logo is that grid.

Ha, touché

Yeah, so now it sucks more. Isn’t that good?

Thanks, I edited my comment

FYI, this is just default Reddit behaviour. If you login with a Google account (which I presume many do as it’s easy) If you register a new account, Reddit gives you a username in that format

edit: fixed wrong info about google account

Nah, he just called it insane, but afaik it’s still allowed.

The latter. There’s no news about blocking his sieg heil, just articles about the doge critique and banning linking to X.

We’re talking about removing hate speech, porn (including CSAM) and gore.

This has a real impact on mental health and there should be a support network for those who regularly interact with this kind of material.

also:

as Claude spends 10 minutes looking for its bicycle in its inventory in order to jump pass a barrier wall, which is not possible. What is possible is to use the bicycle to bypass smaller walls, which means that the AI is linking the two together, which is actually scary and shows, perhaps, tiny glimpses into future AGI.

And they want to put this shit in drones?!

The moveset of opposing Pokémon is quite limited and the AI is even worse. There’s really no strategy by the AI to actually win battles, so I’d say the real challenge was finding out where to go and what to do.

I guess, but I will admit I have used them for identifying pleasant people too. I’m bad at remembering usernames!

My use case was in the post:

So I was wondering what apps are available, whether paid or free, that allows me to flag users like trolls, bad faith reactionaries and the like? Thanks in advance.

Instead of having to remember usernames, I now see a little tag next to their name identifying them as the label I put on them.

Imo that’s how you start undermining genuine discussions as (a subset of) users will start farming karma because number go up means they belong with the tribe.

Edit: my bad, I thought this was a feature request

Brings back memories!

The whole idea is that it does not turn into another the_Donald, but I perfectly understand your caution. There’s still users trying to post “in earnest” (according to them at least), but they get ratio’d so it’s not as bad as you might think.

Anyway, not here to tell you what to block and what not, but I figured you might be interested in the story that it went from a snowflake safe space to a satirical meme community :)

Which community? One of them is now under new management and turned satirical

There’s some irony here

According to GrapheneOS, a security-oriented Android Open Source Project (AOSP)-based distro: “The app doesn’t provide client-side scanning used to report things to Google or anyone else. It provides on-device machine-learning models that are usable by applications to classify content as spam, scams, malware, etc. This allows apps to check content locally without sharing it with a service and mark it with warnings for users.”

So the headline is wrong too.

Why not both? Filter support would mean you’d have to update your list continuously based on current politicians and depend on certain words being used in the title/body.

A tag would still mean you’d have to depend on OP to select the right one (or perhaps on a mod to assign the right one), but at least the amount of variables would be infinitely less complex

Wow, the trinity of !uselessredcircle@lemy.lol, screenshotsarehard and needsmorejpeg all together!

I lurked pretty much everywhere except the subreddit of an app that I know a lot about to help users with support questions.

On Reddit, you don’t really have a conversation most of the time. It’s always a competition about who can out-funny the other comments with snarky one-liners and other off-topic comments that are not necessarily unfunny, but don’t add much to the thread OP started.

Next to that, you always had to be very precise with your words and take everything you can into account, or otherwise someone takes a small thing from your comment and uses that to declare you a troll, bot, or just tries to dunk on you because what you said doesn’t cover all the scenarios you could think of or be arsed to write down.

I’ve thought about this before, and I’ve always chalked it up to a lack of compatibility with other online users and perhaps just Reddit culture. The way I view it internally is this:

A lot of people see comments as the end of a conversation. To me, it’s the start of a conversation.

On Lemmy it still happens, don’t get me wrong. But there’s a higher chance of actually having a conversation, and respectfully pointing out nuance and trying to get actual humans to talk about the subject at hand.
