lol reddit’s automated AEO is already notoriously dogshit, trying to replace human moderation with AI would be a fucking disaster. So I say do it spez. I double dare you!
For sure. The book’s epilogue talks about the changing crypto landscape and notes Monero. It more or less says that law enforcement is making strong progress on tracking those transactions as well. I don’t know if that’s law enforcement puffing its chest or if it really is and declined to give details.
Yeah they need the community for that. They needed the community for everything. And you know what? Go on that site right now. It’s just endless dribble. Reformatted TikTok videos posted by bots. People endlessly repeating the same shit over and over again. Bots copying those endlessly repeated comments on the subsequent reposts. Where’s the stuff that made Reddit special? Has there been a chuck testa meme or noteworthy cool event like a good ama or the Christmas exchange that’s occurred recently? Is there content coming out of the site that’s making the news like it once did? Is the spark there? No
Now it’s just another corporate whore of a company where a bunch of sparkling water drinking pussies with erectile dysfunction sit around trying to figure out how they can best game the system to exploit their pageviews.
The ceo of this company comes out embracing Elon Musk, whines about how the community is cutting into his bottom line, and we are supposed to sit around continuing to provide this man with the content he needs to keep his website alive?
Fuck that.
I think the people who create the gold that makes the internet what it is have sort of scattered to the ether and they’re waiting for the next thing to pop up. When it happens you’ll see that spark come about once more. Actual interesting content. Good topical memes. A fun atmosphere that doesn’t feel exploited by some pretentious pricks.
I want it to be lemmy and the fediverse. We are lying to ourselves if we think this caught all the people stepping off the sinking ship. But I think with some collective upgrades and a way better ui that can be marketed to the average person. This could and should be it.
I mean, if you want it, the only thing that is stopping it is your posts on here. I left that site on the 9th and try and make this place something I enjoy by posting and commenting as much as I can. I’m only at 158 posts and 1270 comments.
Progress and evolution always move forward. We can’t go back and reddit will never exist again, but we can be a part of the next thing and help each other morn the loss of what was. All of us would likely become disconnected moronic pricks if we made 192 million dollars last year. I’m sure that buys Spez lots of trips to wherever Epstein Island 2.0 is located now.

I really don’t think that’s true. If we had always made that much, maybe, but knowing what I do, and being who I am? It’d change me, but not fundamentally. I believe this to be true of most people. Power doesn’t just corrupt; it amplifies.
I mean Lemmy is pretty neat, I consider it a contender for the next “big” thing (and I’m fine if it never gets a huge userbase like reddit, certainly fine by me)
I mean I was a mod of a couple 50000+ subs and I said fuck em’… I’m sure a few other decent people/mods did too.
They’ll just start taking over the large money-makers (if they havent already): pics, funny, memes, news, gaming etc.
Maybe they’ll even create a tiered system of “community curated” subreddits and “official” subs.
Either way, they don’t have to moderate the whole site, just the parts that take in most of the traffic. That way you don’t have to deal with volunteers and their personal beefs and/or protests to your changes.
Most of the smaller subs are basically dead anyway, in terms of moderation. Many of them are way less active too.
Who else is going to do it though?
✨ AI ✨
Yes please. I want to watch them burn it down.
lol can you even imagine?

Oh, I’d love to see that happen.
We need more clusterfucks caused by AI, until people shut the fuck up about it.
Crypto was more of a fiction than AI and it’s somehow still around. How many times can the same ponzi scheme collapse?
There are valid uses for cryptocurrency though, most notably buying illicit substances.
Eh, even then it’s more traceable than people think. If you’re average Joe, you’re fine. But I wouldn’t want to be a dealer or anything.

Here’s hoping we see that happen.
