Yes it does. Some filtering is done by reddit and some by the mods. Also your votes don't count if you don't have certain amount of karma accumulated on the sub you are voting.

Also as a right leaning person everytime I say an opinion I get downvoted to hell, which puts my score in negative.

You can see you total score here.

Lemmy only has the voting per individual post and comment, but doesn’t accumulate this as a sidewide score.

Lemmy does have a karma system. Here's yours.

I tried it on these platforms:

  • Twitter: it works
  • Mastodon: it works
  • tumblr: it works
  • Reddit: it doesn't loop, video must be at least 2 seconds in length, not allowed in comments
  • Discord: not autoplay, no loop
  • Lemmy: no video hosting

The union negotiations could include in the contract that AI generated actors are not allowed when SAG is involved.

Ok, but if they want to ban all forms of AI then we are no longer just talking about the morally reprehensible example of a studio buying an actor's likeness in perpetuity. They want AI gone even when it's used in a more sensible way which is understandable from their point of view but less so for the rest of us.

They want to pay for an actor’s likeness once then own it for a lifetime.

But isn't trying to forbid those kind of deals doomed to fail? What if the digital actor doesn't look like anybody? What if they scan actors from other countries?

I'm not arguing about the benefits of unionization, my question was about what happens when a machine becomes more efficient than a human worker. Do you think a union could have saved the switchboard operators? How is it any different from this scenario?

Regarding the AI dilemma I have two questions. How is it different from any other time in history when a worker was replaced by a machine, and given the lessons learned, isn't it futile to resist?

In that case the only people that can answer the question are the engineers from those platforms.

Yes, but if you tried to share that mp4 on other platforms it would be treated as a video, and that's why gifs are still relevant.

mp4 is a video format, the key differences with animated images being autoplay, looping and maybe transparency.

Of all the formats you mentioned these are supported on popular platforms:

  • Twitter: gif
  • Discord: gif
  • Mastodon: gif
  • Reddit: gif, apng
  • Tumblr: gif, webp
  • Lemmy: gif, apng, webp

That's why gifs are still a thing.
