Man it’s miss the nethernet

That’s the only correct take

Once I start regularly communicating with someone and they keep doing this “hi” business, I just start replying with this link https://nohello.net/

The cynical view of America’s educational system—that it is merely a means by which privileged co-eds can make the right connections, build “social capital,” and get laid—is obviously on full display here.

Cynical? I call that realistic. That’s what privileged co-eds have been using it for the past 100 years.

I’m not following SO practices, but I it will come for it as well. It’s inevitable. Those who paid billions for it will require a ROI

Can you give an example of this enshittification for profit?

reddit.com

Yes, it’s what I was referring to in the second part.

“Free to use” on a VC-backed service just means you’re the product. I am accusing them of the same thing I’m accusing each VC-backed service: That they exploit our efforts to cash out and then sell the service for someone who will enshittify it for profit.

Also, what do you mean “easily downloadable”? Can anyone download the entire corpus of SO in a way that they could set up their own SO with the same content to bootstrap them?

The need for the service that SO provided won’t go away. Eventually people will migrate to new places to discuss. LLM creators will either constantly scrape those as well, forcing them to implement more and more countermeasures and GenAI-poison, or the services themselves will enshittify and sell our content (i.e. the commons) to LLM-creators.

Never again will I help provide content to a VC-backed service just so that they can rugpull us and cash-out.

Oh gawds, I thouht the vid was a takedown, based on the initial ridiculous clip. but no he’s actually serious.

If they haven’t taken action against the the genai scraping bots going around, it’s likely what causing those slowdowns

Blocking whole regions sounds like overkill. Just block the alibaba subnets. We do the same on our end. If you want I can provide you the cidr ranges.

One can make it also easier when switching profiles: They can just add a link to their new account. The profile info will be cached on other servers, even when the origin server goes down, providing a proof of the accounts validity. Of course lemmy could simply add a validation url similar to mastodon does and that would make this moot.

Wednesday was pretty good

The biggest one is that there needs to be a distinction between mod report and ijstance admin report

Since you’re maintaining a subreddit, you might want to create a comm in lemmy as well. Reddit has already taken down other piracy subs like GenP

They deserve each other
