I remember when extreme political views of main Lemmy Devs (which are/where admins s of lemmygrad as well, if I recall correctly) were discussed here several times, people suggested to ignore them and focus on their work. Donate for Lemmy development, not to the persons…
what concrete solution do you see, switch to kbin? Continue to separate development from their other activities?
The thing is more complicated than than. Moreover, there is a wish/needs to train/fine-tune models locally. This is not comparable to initial training of chatGPT like models, but still require some power. Juts today I read that some pixel 8 video improvement features will not be ported to pixel 7 because they need tensor 3 power.
New technology brings new risks. Sell stuff via the internet? Are you crazy?
I assume they simply expect that the risks can be addressed.l. and generally I tend to agree with them. We somehow managed the fact that Google search results are not 100% accurate or Wikipedia articles can be hijacked.
I have a different impression about new AI features backporting plans, but we will see. My point is that ai targeting HW can potentially drive the next smartphones evolution, which is slowed down currently.
The same things people say about every new technology: computers, internet, smartphones etc. I use my smartphone very differently compared to 10 years ago. And apps which existed 10 years ago are very different now and require different HW. CPU progress is slowing, but AI focused hw could be the next wave.
It looks like hardware improvement is shifting to AI capabilities. If so, in 7 years pixel 8 will be hardly interesting for anyone from the target audience.
You don’t need to spend any time on reddit or even make an account to take advantage of that functionality. You just Google your question and add reddit to the end and voila.
I was talking about asking my specific question, not googling for information.
Thanks for the list - agree - these communities are are rather alive, what is promising.
Good for you. I have a very mixed experience.
This is true, but also subjective. How do you define enough? Enough to doomscroll or enough to check for 10 minutes daily? All we really need to be self sufficient is enough content to keep people coming back regularly, we don’t need to replicate reddit.
Right, this is subjective. For me the main criteria is: if I want to get an answer to a question, especially a non trivial one which is not releated to lemmy/fediverse - I should better go to reddit. And I think lemmy should better replicate reddit with this
This seems like an exaggeration. Most communities that have quality content also have quality discussion, in my experience.
Probably, can you give me example of such communities which are not about fedeverse, technology, foss or memes?
30,000 range for MAUs before the end of the year, … current userbase is fairly well established and self sufficient.
I see it differently. It looks like the majority of communities struggle with not enough content/discussions, many de-facto are blogs of mods/creators where others are passive subscribers.
You made a statement that yandex is not Russian company any more and partially belongs to Ukraine. This is bullshit. Read Wikipedia article about yandex, it’s “золотая акция” (golde stock) and who owns this “stock” noe, read about its official status of critical company for Russia. Then go to russian IT communities and read how yandex became more and more “controlled” by the government.
Very easy start and algorithmic feed, I think.
Before that, please provide sources that ysndey partially belongs to Ukraine and is not “russian anymore”.
This pretends to be a source code which was leaked earlier, not what they open sourced.
You are completely wrong.
The gap between free and paid accounts becomes bigger and bigger.
At least for free accounts you either have history chat and allow use of your data for training or reject both. Probably same with this new type of data.
They cannot. But, if you created a community on your instance it must align to the instance rules and admin can moderate it (does matter who posts there).
The second, smaller, issue people will associate you a bit with the instance you selected for your account (even if it was by chance).
except of course keeping it legal
This is also up to them. If the admins are ok to get corresponding consequences - they can do this.
Posts like this posted here from time to time.
And I think the main problem is: the fact that an instance has a very strong political view and even a censorship becomes a big surprise for people using this exact instance.
It looks like an instance and community policies must be somehow better visible.
In this thread people often talk about “a contributor”. However, lemmy’s the core dev teams has a very specific “political view” which is coupled with the project. The project was started to serve people with that “political view”. And this makes really hard to decouple project and the people who drive it.
