I agree - what would you say those pitfalls are? Of course the decentralizing nature takes care of some problems - but the main thing that made me feel awful browsing reddit was the constant argumentative nature of every discussion. When I first discovered web forums 20 years ago it was the magical aspect of it that had me engaged. It was actually cool to be able to chat with other people online about anything - and that itself put everyone in a good mood; after all, why waste your time being really negative if you're doing something cool and interesting? Now, it's very common place. Added with people being more comfortable that they can remain anonymous, huge sites like Reddit are prone to a lot of....crap. That's what I can think of so far.
Ok interesting thanks!
With AI capabilities now, surely it’s pretty easy for an AI to follow a set of instructions like: create an email, check email, click link in email…etc - is that correct? Or put another way - why would email verification stump ML so consistently if it’s trained to create emails and do the process
Haha wow, this was really interesting. Thank you.
This doesn't exactly answer your question, but Reddit did send the creator of /r/jailbait a golden trophy for his contributions to the website. Here is an interview about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks8xuYRPnWM&t=458s
And yet Apollo was made by one guy and it’s far better than anything Reddit made
How does one know when their instance is updated?
When you say there is a new version of Lemmy being distributed, does that mean servers update or something individually? Sorry I am new here.
So does this mean the guy with an Apple Watch behind me in line will automatically pay for my groceries through Apple Pay nfc
I mean when you chew your potatoes, they get mashed. So all I'm saying is that when you eat potatoes vs eat mashed potatoes, your stomach doesn't really know the difference now does it
Is it possible to require an authentication app or something to make an account? Require a specific score on a flash game like snake? Or is that stupid? I don't know, I'm not a dev ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Upvoting on Mlem on Lemmy.world!
