Having been to both, I can assure you the rides at Cedar Point are much, much better. Disney World is a theme park with a full experience, such as themed attractions and cosplayers. It’s great for young kids.

Cedar Point has the awesome coasters that thrill -seeking adults will want. It’s more like Universal Studios or Six Flags

While being decentralized certainly creates a barrier, most of the details behind PageRank (and the other algorithms in use by Google) are pretty well documented. If it doesn’t already, throwing in Lemmy as a keyword should soon bring up a Lemmy intense (probably Lemmy.ml or Lemmy.World) as a top result. As people click those links, the results will go higher.

The bigger challenge is that the content you are trying to find isn’t here yet. Those results on the old site were built over years of massive user engagement. Lemmy has barely had a month since people started joining en masse, and it’s still a fraction of what we lost.

TL;DR: Just keep using it and spread the word. The rest will happen naturally

Look at all of the related “risks” and add them up. I’m sure that drowning is a small number, but then add in all of the deaths from scalding, acid rain, poisons (that contain water), etc etc and it eventually gets to be a very big number. Probably in the millions

Go ahead and queue up the shocked Pikachu face when they do. Average is something like 30% of people being told to return to office will instead resign, across all industries.

That vast majority of their former employees that I’ve spoken to feel the same way

The numbers are highly skewed because of the launch. A number of users are being paid to create content during the launch. A lot of the users are just checking out the hype. Some will stay, many won’t.

The numbers won’t really be useful or comparable until the dust settles. I give it a month.

As awful as that is, the design of those dumpsters will always lead to this. To put the bag in, you must hold the lid open well above your head (and higher than many people can reach) while holding a heavy bag of trash, then lift it even higher to get it in. If you are smaller than average (e.g. a child), physically disabled, or just not an able-bodied adult, that becomes impossible

That’s not entirely true- you can upload your own, but you can only seed to users that do have port forwarding. On many trackers, that initial seed is all going to seed boxes with an autograb script enabled anyway, and those do have port forwarding.

This isn’t just a matter of law, but of technology. Part of the point of these large language models is the massive corpus of raw data. It’s not supposed to mimic a specific person or work, but rather imitate ALL of them. Ideally, you wouldn’t even be able to pinpoint anyone or anything in particular.

(If you’re asking about a different type of AI, then disregard)

It’s not that it’s bad per se. The whole federation thing is confusing enough that it’s a barrier to entry. There’s also the fact that change is hard. Mastodon has a different interface, with the associated learning curve. Beyond that, it’s not just having a certain number of celebrities/etc, but the right ones. That leads to a chicken and egg problem for a lot of users. Eventually enough people would sign up (and content creators posting to both) that it would trigger a mass migration, but that has not happened yet.

So, after all that, most users decide that Twitter is ok enough for now.

True, but getting quiet puts a point on exactly how personal their question was.

Another good one is to horrify them- get quiet and uncomfortable, and say something about how the doctors think you’re infertile.

Assuming these are people you just met, of course.

Regarding Threads, It’s hard to see through the bullshit right now. End user reports are pretty abysmal, while media coverage remains glowing. Meta has clearly sunk a lot of money into promoting the launch, complete with a ton of astroturfing, paid endorsements, paid content creators, etc.

On the flip side, people have been absolutely desperate for a realistic Twitter alternative. Too many tried (and abandoned) Mastodon. It’s entirely possible that Threads will be a just-barely-good-enough Twitter alternative to abandon the Musk abuse.

I won’t even make a prediction on it until next month, at the earliest. Let the launch hype fade, and see if it has staying power.

Since email is the common analogy, I would extend that to say that you could be John.Smith@gmail. You might also have John.Smith@outlook. Someone else has John.Smith@yahoo. If you wanted, you could setup a new account John.smith@protonmail, or start your own server and be [email protected]

Communities are the same way.

I think every city/location sub is like this. It’s the only one not governed by interest, but of location.

I’m trying to seed my own, but it’s a Sisyphean task. And I know the only way to really get it going is to mention Lemmy IRL.

It’s not a drop-in replacement by any means. It lacks all sorts of features, details, and community that I lost last month.

However, it does (mostly) hold the same place in my life. And having said that, I realize how pointless it really is if none of that really matters

There’s plenty of good business reasons not to want to deal with these requests. Even if the first ones would be easier to just turn over, the 1000th, or millionth gets overwhelming

Isn’t there some sort of statute of limitations here? 12 years is an awfully long time

Child Sexual Abuse Material, basically the current term for child porn. [email protected] is completely right on all of it. There is a missing detail that loli (along with a few other questionable/objectionable subs) were banned from LemmyNSFW, and went to a different one that promised to be less restrictive, and is widely defederated because of it.

(Side note: While it can be difficult/impossible to draw the line based on appearances, these were clearly and obviously meant to be depictions of children, and often very young children)

Thank you, I hadn’t seen that yet. Assuming it’s true, that’s going to make their claims very hard to prove. It might even get dismissed.
