If I started power tripping, I would hope I would be replaced. But instance admins have a rough job just keeping the instance running. Smaller communities are bound to slip through the cracks.
Im just saying, while Lemmy has more protections perhaps than Reddit, it isnt really that different.
Yes, that is the benefit of federation, but the downside is that if a user is forcibly removed from participation in a community they liked, it won’t really matter that they created a new one if they can’t tell the users in the old community to migrate. But this is talking about worst case scenarios where mods mass ban thousands of users indiscriminately, and not considering something more specific such as when a mod has a personal issue with a specific user and lets their personal feeling get in the way of their job as moderator.
Speaking as a moderator (even though I don’t really do much on a low traffic community), if a mod bans specific users just because they don’t like those users, that’s an abuse of power. But that abuse of power will largely go unchecked because it isn’t big enough of a problem for most users to take issue with, usually.
Banned users will typically either ban evade by creating alt accounts on different instances, or not participate in any Lemmy community other than some community focused on mod power abuse, for example.
To be fair, I would not be surprised the learn the exact same thing is happening on Lemmy, to exactly the same degree of severity.
Lemmy isn’t really any better than Reddit in this regard, unfortunately.
What are you doing outside the C17? You should be in the plane, not on the ground!
This is absolutely true. If you ask anyone that has died, all of them say they saw a nipple at some point in their life. Very true.
To be fair, actual people suggest harmful stuff to people online probably way more often than LLMs do. The AI had to learn it from somewhere, they didn’t create that behavior on their own.
Is this “How do I remove a small cylinder from another small cylinder? It is imperative that the small cylinder remain unharmed.” but for AI?
Yes, but I think Lemmy is too busy hurting itself to really notice.
I don’t like this. Not because its AI, but because AI is still too new for me to trust it to be factually accurate. If I want to see a summary or whatever, I just implicitly do not trust whatever it generates to be true and end up ignoring the AI part.
Maybe it can advance enough to stop hallucinating and it might be more useful in this use case, but for now I just don’t trust it to be factually correct.
If you get hit by any projectile fired from that phalanx, your body will definitely be “tossed with reckless abandon.”
I didn’t say no one would go into battle with this, I said no one would want to go into battle with this. Not only is this not an Abrams, when you die in your metal casket you suffer extra embarrassment damage when the enemy finds out it was a fake Abrams and laughs at you.
My guess is maybe a movie or video production set needed an Abrams but they only had what looks to be an MTLB?
I dont think anyone would want to actually go into battle with this.
This is what r/science looked like, except all posts were [removed] instead of [deleted].
The difference is important, because [deleted] means the individual user removed their own comment. [removed] means the comment was deleted by a moderator.
Mods are always […]
You mean Reddit mods, right?
AwkwardTheTurtle is literally shaking and crying right now.
This doesn’t only apply to Reddit. Applies everywhere someone can be banned for something, even here on Lemmy.
Dude, even Dark Souls is at least fair in its difficulty design. Soldiers in this will have it harder than a blind Souls player.
Wait, this is so fake. There’s no Metal Gears on the timeline!
Well I mean… They do. What’re you gonna do about? Cry?
I know that might seem harsh but like, I don’t believe that there is anything most internet users can do about this except for learn to live with it. And the business executives and shareholders that only see dollar signs and Pay Piggies know it too. People keep complaining, but companies keep doing this kind of thing basically unconstested, and if they ever are contested, they will just bury you in legal fees until you give up. Even if you and i don’t pay for their products (as much as we can, sometimes these people are in charge of actual life necessities), they know there is a sucker born every second just dying to shower them with money. It never ends.
Remember when basically the exact same thing happened here? Crazy times.
