I do agree and you are right that it depends on the community for example r/politics which is a really large subreddit that attracts all different kinds of users has to be way more strict than let’s say a niche small community, but what I also didn’t mention that receiving a permanent ban out of nowhere is harsh especially because a bot said so, to me a permanent ban should be enforced for the absolute worst of the worst situations, like harassment, doxxing and illegal porn.

But yeah my point is that if you are going to be that strict at least be fair and have actual admins checking your appeals and if they still say no, then all good.

Depends on what you classify as AI anymore

I work with Video Editing software and you could argue that a lot of features on softwares like Davinci, Capcut, Premiere all use different helpful tools that could or could not be AI, Artificial Intelligence existed long before companies slapped the term into every product. Nowadays even TVs have “AI” processors which is just a fancy way of saying just a CPU.

I do believe it still should be an Open source tool that we can use for good, for example helping fighting against cancer but knowing we live in such a planet it will be used for worse rather than good and it depends on who trains it and for what purpose because we train AI.

I do care about Art like Movies, Books and the Movie industry so far seems to be the only one who fights against AI being used as lazy work, there are possibly Video Games that use AI text to speech for NPCs or something but there are a lot of directors who speak passionatelly against it which is good to see.

At the end of the day it’s a tool and it will depend on how we use it. We can use it to do good things, but also drive more people out of jobs and helping with endless wars, I have a feeling the latter will be true but we’ll see.

I used to think the space until I saw movies like Oppenheimer and I can’t go back to 1080p.

I think you might be one of the few guys, that prefer 3D over VR

How do you compare it to VR.

Yeah but it’s ten times as immersive as 3D, How would you replace it.

I mean we have VR, make the case for 3D while VR is a thing

Yeah, nowadays I only watch movies in 4K and it’s night and day over Full HD and I don’t know why anyone would say otherwise.

Weren’t there like Blu-Rays? I guess the first movie I watched was Avengers (2012) and it really didn’t blew me away

Nowadays I watch movies with my Quest 2 on the big screen app and think, holy shit

I have them on steam and I still boot up Galactic Conquest from time to time, but playing it with a friend on the controller was amazing.

Star Wars Battlefront 1 was the first PC game I ever played and loved.

SOCOM can’t be beat, Star Wars Battlefront was also fun, Ratchet and Clank was a classic for me.

The British should have seen that he has a Temu Trump and leave it at that.

Trust me I know what’s living in a rural area is like US or not.

Don’t you have fiber available?

If I was Elon’s right hand man I’d be ashamed if people saw my face too. I’d much rather people know me for my kinks

I don’t disagree at all, and that’s the only thing I miss about Reddit, when I had an established profile and could just ask in whatever subreddit I want, emphasis on the “established profile” while Lemmy I started day 1 and I could instantly participate in wherever I wanted.

And sure Lemmy has like 40-50k monthly visitors, Imagine if it was 500k or 1M the good thing to give you hope, I didn’t know what Lemmy was about a month ago, and now I do

There’s always going to be people sick of Reddit’s rules as myself but you are right, let’s say Half Life 3 gets announced tomorrow out of the blue, first place I would go is Reddit to see the reactions, I think Lemmy competing on that department doesn’t make sense but I feel like Reddit needs some competition, I heard that the co-founder was building a Reddit competitor though I have no idea how that went.

This site already does something better than reddit, I love how I can just write comments thread after thread making posts without having to worry if it gets removed somehow. I love just the simplicity of posting here.

I wouldn’t be against it since r/games is used for mainly game announcements and r/gaming is a facebook tier cesspool. I wouldn’t mind a community like that.

I’m of the opinion that as large as this community gets (or any community) it’s bound to have many characters.

I guess I don’t mind that much because I think A) You won’t ever have a large site where everyone 100% agrees with you all the way, unless you are on a specific political community and even then I’ve seen many infights and civil wars over small issues.

B) I’ve dealt with many of them in worse sites (Yes even 4chan) that I don’t mind them anymore, as long as they contribute in their own communities and don’t cause harm for the website then they can chirp on their communities as much as they want, I was the kind of guy that enjoyed Political Compass memes on reddit even though it got ruined by Right-Wingers now, I was on that subreddit long before though and as soon as literal Nazis joined the subreddit got worse.

C) We should absolutely have rules to ban people that post innapropriate, illegal stuff but I feel like this website should be easier than Reddit on the moderating stuff, I’m 100% on banning Nazis and fascists if they make the site worse for everyone else, though I happened to have some interesting conversations with some Conservatives. Reddit on a whole has an awful moderating system that ironically enough doesn’t ever get checked by human beings and I don’t want to see the same here, I’ve heard people that got banned because they had the mental health crisis bot even though they didn’t do anything, I’ve heard people got banned for similar ways that I did for posting a meme lol.

Take of this what you will.

I’m enjoying my time so far, I’m waiting my 100 day ban pass I guess from Reddit (I’m like almost there) and see what I do, I’ll probably keep using this site since it allows me to be more free than reddit.

In general, I would also like to see this site adopting more niche subreddits, I know I can probably make a lot of those but I don’t have a lot of time to moderate stuff.
