Reddit repost bots are ruining Lemmy.
Not just Reddit bots... "There is a discussion on [Reddit, Hacker News, etc...] but feel free to comment here as well." (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

YSK: While you're on Lemmy/Kbin/Fediverse, you're not "the product" but you're also not "the customer".
Lets see what the future brings. As long as the user count is low there isn't much of a problem, but if instances suddenly have millions of users, it will get expensive for admins to run the service. If too few people donate (what is usually the case), admins are forced to search for other ways to finance the infrastructure. The other point is AI, wheter you like it or not, if Lemmy is big enough, the content (conversations etc.) will be used to train LLMs. Also, the content will certainly be interesting for advertisers to learn user preferences. The difficulty comes with scale.

If the body's natural temperature is about 98 degrees (F), why does it still feel really hot when the ambient temperature is 98F?

YSK: Subscriber count on communities only show the numbers of users subscribed from your specific instance. The real number might be much larger than you think.
Are there plans to display the actual numer or is it just not possible becaus of the underlying protocol?

YSK: Your Lemmy activities (e.g. downvotes) are far from private
What does this mean for admins regarding GDPR? Is lemmy still not GDPR complient? Are there options in place if users request their data?
An issue has already been raised: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1347

Is /u/spez really just incompetent
Whether he was pressured into it or came up with this shit by him self doesn't make a huge difference in the end. The result is the same 😐

Apple says it will remove services such as FaceTime and iMessage from the UK rather than weaken security if new proposals are made law and acted upon.
What about other tech companies like Microsoft or Google? Do they comply?

Fair to assume reddit is now limiting account deletion

Even if you overwrite before deleting, I would assume reddit will keep the original message.

Zoom CEO says Zoom meetings hinder innovation and debate, wants employees back in the office
Reply in thread
Zoom has had a whiteboard since multiple years... But yeah, issuing tablets would make that feature more productive.

I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit.

My feeling exactly. Smaller communities nurture much more healthier engagement than bigger ones

Reply in thread
No, but I think he means that people hold back opposing ideas because of fear of hurting others. Then there are other group dynamics involved which suppress people expressing them selfies. I would have thought this wold be less of a problem in online meetings

The AI boom is screwing over Gen Z | ChatGPT is commandeering the mundane tasks that young employees have relied on to advance their careers.

Is this not similar to the introduction of calculators in schools? We don't need to use our brains anymore to do the "mechanical calculation". Instead we can offload this task to the machine and use our brain for other tasks.

There's a significant amount of discussion surrounding the issue of lemmy.ml servers reaching their maximum capacity. As someone who already has an account on lemmy.ml, what actions can you take?
Reply in thread
Those are exactly my thoughts. Migration and merging communities will be important sooner or later

3D printed stuff is not geat for hygienic reasons because the little groves accumulate dirt over time and is hard to clean. Did you coat the print somehow?
