Poochy on his way back to his home planet

I’ll be honest I thought OP was talking about murdering people and taking their scalps. Probably more noble than seeking out others guidance on rent seeking, no value added, middle man behavior though

Rather than hard-coding an upvote to comment ratio, changing the default sort to effectively put a ceiling on how raw upvotes per comment might be a better way of accomplishing the same goal. And lets it be optional.

An upvote is essentially a boost/re-post on mastodon which says I like this content and think it should be shared. Comments or discussion aren’t always needed for content to be good

I can’t say I related to your specific situation but the world you describe doesn’t look like the world I live in at all.

Definitely seek therapy and learn how to accept and love yourself. It reads like you have some self-loathing based off your upbringing that you are projecting onto others when it’s really not the reality

That’s good to know. My understanding is admittedly out of date as I haven’t really kept up with ATProto as I get much more activity from the AP side of the house. I have been excited about projects like Blacksky and such acting as alternative relays.

I think a lot of the hate is because of the realities of the real world implementation of the protocols. The fact that AT Proto is mostly run through the main instance with only nominal federation through other relays. And the fact that AT Proto requires the full firehouse replicated to all relays.

I probably prefer most of AT Proto other than these two issues. Regardless I am on mastodon with it bridged over to bluesky

I mean they had video iPod shortly after the release of the original iPod so I think a video podcast still fits the definition of “iPod broadcast”

If you have to ask for advice for having a child don’t. Don’t bring a child into this world unless you are 100% all in regardless of what others (besides your partner of course) say.

The child has no say in being born, so the parents should be 100% ready for it. Anything less isn’t fair to him or her.

Greed (personal enrichment) is typically a reason a lot of religious leaders push hate so getting rid of greed gets rid of some (but not close to all) religious extremism.

That seems like the best choice as getting rid of religious extremism gets rid of some hate but still leaves us in the same greedy society

Sounds like a scam to get VC money before it eventually turns back into old digg/current Reddit. I wouldn’t join it if I was looking for a good experience, I’d just stick with Reddit.

I’ll stay here instead

I think maybe you have it backwards people who are easily swayed/trusting of authority/gullible are going to be naturally drawn toward religion. Skeptics/those who don’t take things at face value are going to be naturally skeptical of it.

Religion doesn’t make you stupid but it’s very attractive to the sort

It doesn’t happen until you have your own kid who thinks they are smarter than you

YouTube still offers them a service in directing them new viewers. The big creators all lose viewers but YouTube funnels replacement views faster than they lose. They could host their own videos but they are gonna see very little growth without Google either in search or with YouTube as they start to lose the base that followed them.

They also won’t be able to negotiate as good as rates for pre-rolls or in video sponsorships as if they were on YouTube.

The only real alternative would be to band together like the creators that are a part of nebula are doing. Hosting on peertube really isn’t an option unless you are independently supported and you are doing it as a passion project and don’t care about audience growth or retention.

Since karma isn’t tracked, I don’t think it’s a real big deal having a negative score comment. But since there are people who care anyways I think the downvote does exist, it can suppress people posting certain points of view lest you anger the tankie triad

The other tell is using an emoji at the start of every demarcated writing section. Such as a quote or markdown heading

True, the AI mannerisms in LLM generated outputs are the same style of high view YouTube videos or high karma Reddit comments from a decade ago.

But I’ve always hated the YouTube voice or the “hey Reddit, unidan here, as a biologist did you know that jackdaws and crows aren’t the same. Upvotes to left” style.

But that’s explicitly the style that normal people didn’t use and AI almost exclusively uses, so it is noticeable.

They made a whole musical about this called “Singin’ in the Rain”

As far as my opinion goes. “I can’t stan ‘em”

Exactly the reason I left. I was so pleased when Apollo for Lemmy in the form of wefwef/voyager existed too

If you want to accurate to Biblical tradition. Good created both the ant and anteater but Adam was the one who named him. (Using English of course, he was a god fearing American)

It works really well on iPhone and Apple TV. I imagine that is by designs AppleTV+ is a loss leader to get people to buy into the ecosystem. If you feel you have an ethical duty to support the creators, subscribing and continuing to obtain the content via alternative means is the best bet
