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
While most of us think of the rooster sauce by Huy Fong, Sriracha is a type of sauce made by countless places.
While I haven’t tried these yet, I’ve been told that Underwood (former supplier to Buy Fong) is top notch, especially the Roja. I’ve also been told to try Sky Valley.
No idea how close they are to the original, though
You mean Musk? Because it seems that whatever insanity that Musk does, Spez wants to copy verbatim
And these are the people who stayed…
True, but Lemmy.world and feddit.cl (OP’s instance) do not block it.
Most are on LemmyNSFW. Note that they won’t show up if you aren’t logged in, so you’ll want to use LemmyVerse to find them and subscribe from your home instance
FWIW, when I see that, it’s usually when I hit back from going into a comment. Reloading the page usually fixes it.
Running Firefox on Android, standard mobile web interface.
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.
For what it’s worth, there is a big problem with Lemmy.world federation. Lots and lots of posts to/from LW and other fully-federated instances take days to show, if at all.
I suspect it’s something to do with their size, but I base that on absolutely nothing.
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 me@JohnSmith.com
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.
(Not OP)
I miss the Reddit that was destroyed in June. I don’t miss the Reddit of now, and won’t be going back. But OP is completely right on all of it. Unfortunately, we were all left scrambling for a replacement, and Lemmy has non-trivial barriers to entry for most “normal” people. Sure, those of us that are tech-savvy got through it (and are still dealing with the major bugs and deficiencies), but so much of the old experience just isn’t here.
It’s not the existence of shitposts and memes like 196; it’s the lack of other content. r/HomeImprovement is often cited in articles about the blackout and how big/important it is. Conversely, !homeimprovement@lemmy.world is still just a fraction of the old Reddit community, and discussions are limited and (generally) disappointing. Similar stories about Woodworking, AMA, etc. LegalAdvice (for better or for worse) was one of the biggest subs on Reddit, has just 57 subs on Lemmy. The sub for my IRL city (1 million+ population), which was one of the best sources of local information, might as well not exist here.
There’s no way to moderate that content into existence, and there’s only so much you can contribute to that content to get it started.
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
Child Sexual Abuse Material, basically the current term for child porn. Nepenthe@kbin.social 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)
Sounds like you joined one of the anti-porn instances. I can’t read German, so I can only guess that the rules say that, but it’s not obvious on Join-Lemmy. I really wish they’d include some meaningful detail on their standards for fed/defend, since that’s what really matters. Instead we have that garbage about matching your values, and each one has a one-liner about who they are.
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
