turn off the TV posted:But poo poo tons of AI generated bot posts will make it a horrible source for training data. They're poisoning their own well with this no way, that is way more interesting. let the AIs circle on their own posts until they develop an entirely unique and new culture and language.

Cosmik Debris posted:I seriously doubt conde nast offered Lowtax 20 mil. Reddit had VC funding and the people behind it had actual business acumen and new what they were doing. And yet Lowtax actually made a site that turned a profit. helno posted:As a Reddit moderator you have no idea just how many people beg to be made moderators. I used to run lovely little byond games in Highschool and had a fake "moderator" role that had a bunch of actions that looked like mod tools but basically just wrote what they did to a text file. None of them did anything else, except the Ban button, which was just a re-labeled ignore button. This might surprise you, but all but one of the people who begged for roles tried exploiting it the second they thought they could get away with it (ie: when I logged off)

turn off the TV posted:The website already has a problem with prolific numbers of bot accounts Given that their autogenerated usernames are now Adjective-Noun-1234 I thought this was a deliberate move so you could not discern actual users with the equivalent of a Stupid Newbie avatar from bots, so they could pump the MAU numbers.

lmao man the mod tools thing stinks of this Elon-ism going through tech right now. I got hosed by it in my last place too (we were not tech, but we had wannabe techbro new leadership who treated it like it was) and I feel like more and more tech companies are just flaring out due to horrendous changes of direction like this

Snoring posted:Yeah, that's I think more or less what kbin and Lemmy are. They're like a decentralized version of reddit and they can talk to each other somehow (??) but I don't really get it yet. Looks like there are already a lot of reddit refugees on both of them and someone has already created a new /r/butts (only one butt so far though lol). Not really sure if either of them will get the traction they need to last but I think the reddit drama has given both of them a huge boost. People are literally trying to boycott Lemmy because the dev is *gasp* a Marxist and they simply cannot tolerate the author of their free open source alternative being anti-capitalist scum. They both kind of suck though. All that federated poo poo scales really poorly and makes it hard to discover stuff. SA has bafflingly remained resilient to the internet bullshit train just by virtue of not getting greedy and not really changing.

Thoughtless posted:I don't understand why every techbro CEO suddenly decided to destroy their websites. Elmo set the standard with Twitter, then Imgur, Reddit, Twitch etc all saw that and went "well gently caress making money, we also prefer... memes"? not quite 1:1 but i'm posting this youtube vid because i enjoyed it a few weeks ago. Every big corpo social media site wants to be the next big one where your rate of profit skyrockets so its very alluring (i.e. look at how tf facebook made so much money), especially when you consider how big a user/knowledge base the respective sites have that are sitting around unmonetized. The idea of successfully monetizing even a small amount of it means insane amounts of value being realized into existence out of thin air. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B71mbSBgZ3E

If the reddit mods wanted their protest to have any effect they'd just leave the subreddits open and have everyone post the most traumatizing shock images while refusing to do anything.

Barring that they could just ditch reddit en masse and start their own site. Reddit's not worth saving and if any subreddit communities are they can just be transplanted somewhere better.

Let the EU make a law that forces all online services with the characteristics of social media to offer a paid subscription model that disables all profit motive driven parts of the content recommendation algorithm. The code for the content recommendation algorithms is to be periodically audited by independent organizations. The height of the fees is capped to 2x the average revenue you get from an ad-supported account. Make it so.

I ended up in charge of one of the biggest fan servers for a certain niche game, and gently caress me, every time I check on it, it's me wondering what's on fire and who did it. I've considered shutting the whole thing down several times, but people would be very angry at me.
