Im so sick of AI being inserted into every inane thing. Next it will be AI lego, AI gaming chair, AI toilet seat. Its just so fucking droll at this point. There is literally no technology I want to use less than your idiot pet AI project you just came up with. Everything now has AI in it yet nothing feels revolutionary or interesting. Its all just worse. Everything is just worse but with AI in it. Its just CEOs piling shit on top of shit on top of shit and expecting something beautiful to come out the other end. Drives me nuts.

As an instance owner I have defederated preemptively from threads. I take the same logic as ‘dont do a deal with the devil’ or ‘dont negotiate with terrorists’. Sure maybe you get lucky and win some but the odds are stacked against you. Instead I am more interested in cultivating slowly what lemmy is as a platform without some companies influence. We are doing ok right now. Ae are slowly growing right now. The only reason they are interested in us is because they see the potential. We dont need them to foster that potential. Lets focus on doing this on our own. For better or worse, at least we can say we did it our way for what we ultimately believed in if we stand on our own and do it.
And as an aside. I dont need a seconder to agree with me or tell me this is the right decision. I have done enough and seen enough in my life to make this call on my own and stand by that decision. Its not relevant to me if anyone agrees with it.
Yes obviously there is a problem here exactly like the reddit to lemmy problem. Just another obstacle but thats okay. Probably it is solvable.
I run a lemmy server and nobody pays anything to use it. It a public service by me for anyone.
Just because some company hasnt figured out how to do it doesnt mean something cannot exist for the good of the public run by members of the public.
Im not interested in conforming to imposed problems personally. Im interested in building resilient systems. That was why we invented technology as humans to begin with. Otherwise whats the point.
Just googled this also but similar issue to freetube? Just an app to the same service if I understand correctly?
Yeah no way Im paying for youtube. Totally bizarre concept to me.
Information on wikis can get out of date if nobody updates it. Probably just needs someone to refresh it a bit.
It came from an advert advertising a porn video. I liked the scroll he was holding.
Also love dokuwiki
The one I used accepted xrp, eth and bitcoin as well as a couple others I forget. I used xrp.
