I’m not sure what you mean with “walls listening in” when we’re talking about a public forum, but the doors are perfectly openable.
What I mean is the code infrastructure of the public forum doesn’t need to do what the users operating the platform do. These sorts of flags and tags for judgements on commentary have a direct impact on interactions between users, which is the door part of analogy.
Yeah, but let’s take a step back for a moment here and look at how the Fediverse is run by people. These communities and instances are all equipped to take action, moderate, curate, and create.
The people on the Fediverse are well equipped to grapple with the Paradox of Intolerance in a public forum without the walls listening in and making decisions about doors.
The omissions in this timeline about brigading sockpuppets and falsified nazi smears…
But to list that timeline and act as though this is out of context or unrelated to an ongoing crashout… we are reaching some Hasan’s dog collar level of bullshit.
It’s just an armband. You know. To help with context.


Uh sure, that’s a plausible way of looking at it.


Right, and the LLM output isn’t something I would’ve used either. The only thing I am noting as important is that the LLM stuff was an extra and unnecessary step, if that makes sense.


What is weird is that its clear they didn’t decide to ban because of an LLM output and they used local and FOSS models to summarize the explanation. The explanation provided, instead of just ‘Zionism’ or ‘Rule#X’ or ‘genocide denial’, is what used the LLM.


However, that’s not piefed’s fault, nor his. He didn’t know, he discovered an issue.
The issue that the piefed dev writes new protocols that break activitypub compatibility has been brought up before. It is not unintentional and was not unknown.
The ultra wealthy keep on that grind as they perpetually sustain generation after generation of failsons.
The difference between old money and new money is just how many generations back you go to the first/last grinder in the lineage.


Typically mods don’t get alerted until after theres a 40+ reply chain of ‘no u’.
Realistically it is mostly a tool for when a moderator is engaged in a heated debate, and needs a stop button. The thread in question being a perfect example.


The thread in question, since it’s on the piefed.social instance.
There’s been a whole thing going on for a few weeks straight ever since db0 banned someone for Nakba denial.


Not even that, bison are unequivocallly superior animals to ranch in the great plains of america. They’re incredibly well adapted and their meat is also superior to beef. They’ve always been the perfect tool to strike a deal with ranchers, environmental groups, and the tribes.
Stupid cattle industry.


I know at least some models can be rigged to local machines, and I assume chatgpt is one of them. But no disagreement that there’s a bit of weirdness here.


Their whole thing is that they’re running local models on their own systems, so it is unlikely to be corporate at all.
Now, there is a portion of lemmy instances and piefed that did incorporate, and they seem to have it out for db0.


Lemmy was made for people banned from Reddit.
Piefed was made for the mods who banned them.
And MBin? MBin is a fork of KBin.
Reflecting pool between Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument in Washington D.C. in the gal’dang U S of A.
Last month it was drained to be painted with a blue swimming pool liner.
Because that’s what you do when you’re losing another war in Asia.
