If it's any consolation, the admins of .ml will likely indefinitely host .ml with or without the support of patrons funding the development of Lemmy. Your support or lack thereof will never affect its operation.

Hmmm, you might have a case but maybe not.

The US Copyright office currently does not recognize protections for AI-generated works, and for portions of complete works that are AI-generated. For example, if a comic has graphics generated by AI but a script written by people, the graphics and character likenesses, etc are not protected by copyright.

For audiobooks, the original work and the accompanying recording are both protected by copyright. The audiobook is considered a derivative work, so it may still be protected based on the fact that the original work is rightfully protected by copyright.

The number of times I totally overshot distance based on the quest description and ended up in the Ashlands....

Literally this ... On any group chat with an image embed, link to memes from Lemmy instead of the image directly.

There are so few open source games, they have just cemented a permanent audience for themselves for the next 10 years by announcing this.

Fediverse can't sustain many niche communities with its level of activity. Even gaming communities on lemmy don't have enough traffic to constitute communities for individual games. I can't do after-episode TV discussions on Lemmy because there wouldn't be enough people commenting to warrant it. If I wanted to search for a D&D game in my local community (a huge US city), I couldn't do it via Lemmy.

I can do all this on reddit, which I intend for Lemmy to replace, but I can't do that yet. So I still crawl reddit for the needs Lemmy can't replace, but I'd rather never have to open reddit in the first place.

Same is true for every alternative platform on Fediverse. I'm still using all the mainstream apps I intend to replace.

Feels like AI would really excel in this. It's personalized argumentation that can basically auto complete for the most statistically likely (ie popular) version of an argument. CMV posts largely aren't unique, there's a lot of prior threads to draw from which got deltas.

Read the article instead of responding to the title. It was a university conducting formal research, which created AI bots that impersonated different identities. "As a black man..." style posts in ChangeMyView.

The subreddit mods issued a formal complaint to the university when they learned of it, but the university is choosing not to block its publishing on the grounds of lack of harm.

Ironically, I think Fediverse suffers from a high amount of tech expertise and not enough project managers, lol. Not enough people cracking the whip saying "users said x feels confusing, what can we do about it?" then establishing timelines and check-ins. Maybe instead of Lemmy devs saying, "we accept nearly every pull request," they should say, "we want a project manager to help recruit volunteers on specific issues x, y, and z".

Here’s a cleaned-up version of your Lemmy post that keeps your tone but improves clarity, flow, and grammar:

Did they forget to delete ChatGPT's bit or did they intentionally copy the whole thing lol

There was a lot of energy around strategy when I joined in January (can you guess why? Lol). The limiting factor seems to be chosen participation. Lots of people have opinions, not many people want to organize their thoughts into, eg. an effective advertising campaign, a github pull request, or basically anything other than meaningless musing.

Here were some threads in my message history I found insightful: https://lemmy.world/post/25512565 https://lemmy.world/post/25553607 https://lemmy.world/post/27824597

I'm not really skilled in anything relevant, so my strategy has been:

• On mainstream social platforms, point out any hint of enshittification and follow up with a recommendation toward a specific Fediverse alternative.
• Link directly to discussions or articles I found on Lemmy that I thought were worth sharing
• Building partnerships in my existing communities with the corresponding Lemmy communities to encourage user flow

The point is outreach to the other platform. Sending engagement to this video on YouTube will boost it due to YouTube's algorithm. More exposure on YouTube = more potential new PeerTube users. Publishing this on PeerTube is preaching to the choir. As an alternative platform, you always need to maintain a presence on the main platform so you can encourage people looking to leave.
