Dont give money to lemmy.world - appears to be completely reddit managed. Banning all contributions.

DISCLAIMER: This account may exhibit unusual levels of activity due to actually using Lemmy. Any reports that I am a bot were filed by Reddit agent provocateurs that want to have no content on lemmy.

  • im actually putting my money where my mouth is. credits are not cheap.

    You can fight AI all you want, but that ship has sailed. AI is already embedded in search, moderation, coding, translation, recommendation systems, spam detection, and content workflows across the internet.

    I’m using it here as a filtering and moderation tool - checking community rules, duplicates, age, relevance, and other criteria before something gets posted. That’s almost the opposite of blindly dumping content.

    You can dislike AI on principle, but “AI was involved” isn’t an argument that the resulting post is bad. Judge the content and whether it follows the community’s rules.


  • I appreciate the explanation, and honestly this “we dont want to be reddit” idea was brought up several times.

    But I think there’s a fundamental disagreement here: not everyone shares your idea of what Lemmy should be. The existing 35k-ish MAU shouldn’t get to permanently define what Lemmy is allowed to become.

    If the current philosophy were working, we’d see it in the results. Instead, Lemmy’s active user base has largely stagnated, and enormous numbers of communities are empty or get a couple of posts a week. Whatever we’re doing now isn’t producing meaningful growth.

    And “we left Reddit” doesn’t necessarily mean “we never want to see anything that appeared on Reddit.” I left Reddit too. I wanted an alternative platform, not an alternative universe where interesting links, memes, news and discussions become contaminated because somebody also posted them on Reddit.

    If my volume overwhelms New/All, that’s completely fair criticism. That’s something we can solve with posting limits, better filtering, community subscriptions, blocks, or better tooling.

    But “the existing users don’t like this, therefore this isn’t what the Fediverse is for” becomes circular. The people who don’t like the existing culture may simply leave, so naturally the remaining population increasingly reflects that culture.

    I’m trying a different approach because I want Lemmy to actually grow beyond its current niche. If most communities are empty and the active-user count isn’t meaningfully growing, I don’t think we should treat the status quo as proof that we’ve already figured out what users want.
