He is a general menace to many groups.

I’ll put it this way. Harris’s Gaza strategy is so bad it’s the same as Trump’s

They both would let the genocide continue while providing the explosives to do it with.

I know America faces an existential crisis but no lives would be saved here in this one area

My gut reaction about lack of content in peer tube is because the platform is ethical. It’s my understanding that popular video platforms started by pirating content, marketing campaigns and other shady things . This obviously is a not a good thing here.

This creates a cascading effect where only people who are more ethical ( rather than less ethical) post videos there. And only ethical ( more or less) people watch the videos there for more or less political reasons ( not national politics but belief how things should happen)

There are probably ways for them to jumpstart content there , but are dismissed, never to be used because it’s against the spirit of the idea. Hopefully someone can solve this by doing something that fits into the vision !

It always amazed me that Reddit stopped adding new stuff to make it easier ; instead the only changes in years was all the stuff making commotions and scandals.

It’s like they purposefully exist in a frozen tech made years ago and innovation is not something helpful to their business model.

The enshitification and out of touch culture came from a deeply entrenched mindset in the Reddit offices years ago

I have a conspiracy theory that most users who are an expert don’t post much about that.

For example I am an expert on two things most people find obscure; and for all my comments I just avoid talking about them. It’s too hard to wrap up an idea without lots of background information, there are no short posts or comments I can make about it.

Almost all the highly upvoted stuff are short. Were I to try to make an expert post it would be totally ignored. So why bother for me when I can snarky about things I know nothing about ? More fun !

I think experts who write short terse pithy comments that hit the mark, at a timely fashion, are rarer than hens teeth

There is a difference between the old fashioned scams with textbooks, and the new AI scams. Its true they have a lot of things in common. But the AI scams are more centralized, more powerful, can make more money. These are forging new ways to con people.

But we have gone through several generations of new scams, they are not all bad. Such greed and kickbacks are probably healthier than realized and contribute to a stable society somehow in a way that escapes me, but I feel is valid

I first saw the NYT article a few weeks ago. It seems that the stats are accurate?

After seeing 1% of the population die during covid, I was realized that huge amounts of the population can just die, and not many notice, and life continues without that much interruption.

Ordinary people never make it into news: their births, their accomplishments, their deaths.

I think he is suggesting he himself will come under legal scrutiny, threatening him: ergo mars, humanity and everything else.

It’s all about him

Are they not separating bot logins from human logins ? I did not see a breakdown for that. I’m wondering if anyone knows

Omg I just realized AI is the new monkeys.. that is disturbing

I tried to moderate in a large subreddit and all I did was protect people who I did not like, or who got into slap fights. Quit after a few months.

They are a mindless organization, not one or a few using logic. Everyone working there can figure out the general issues, on their own, for sure. But it’s an out of control huge organization. Even the top leadership is along for the ride at this point.

Every department is headed by competent and intelligent people, I assume. But they each only control a small slice of the environment, and even in each division there are many things the middle management cannot control directly. Too big

It’s not like a car manufacturer, there is an exponential difference in the number of parts to control and the complexity.

When the sales, and other parts are woven in, I doubt there is a dozen people alive who can explain how all the company structure works together
