Artificial Human No. 20

It’s also a naturally busy time for living organisms in the northern hemisphere. I’ve just got things going on, man.

Listen… it’s for… archival and digital preservation purposes.

I’m very conflicted about this. On one hand, it’s kind of bullshit to take this level of action on something that can be handled on a case-by-case basis, when the need arises.

On the other hand, I’d prefer to see Lemmy avoid the reputation that Mastodon has garnered with the activities that are vastly under moderated there. With the size that some instances are reaching obviously there needs to be a level of discretion towards the content you will allow.

It’s, however, a slippery slope from protecting the community to accepting bribes for exclusive access to your user base.

“Due to moral objections, we’ve decided to block this meme community. However here’s an alternative that will show you advertisements disguised as funny memes! They even have most of the same content as the old one! Enjoy!”

Don’t let that become reality.

It’ll hit equilibrium eventually. Not like this is something unusual for a platform that’s making the rounds as the new and exciting thing.

Decided to join Lemmy after having issues with the Reddit app and Relay not getting along. Facebook groups as of late have been flaming garbage. Twitter is now an… X. I’m not touching Reddit again unless Google sends me there. Sync seems to do the job quite well.

I’ve tried Mastodon before. It just wasn’t my cuppa. This is my new public facing social home I think.

The internet as a whole.
