Guys, guys, y’all ragging on the guy for the AI generated slop, but nobody says the icons need be used as is.

The Lemmy guys could pay someone for real to redo one properly…

Well my job here is done.

Let me know if you need help!

Oooh what forum? :smiley:

There’s the problematic fact that open weight LLMs are still trained by these corpos, which definitely has some environmental impact. It’s troubling.

However what doesn’t? As long as I’m not actively burning absurd amounts of fossil fuels running queries…

It’s tough to know where to stand when it comes to AI. I don’t think anybody here is hoping that the fediverse be overrun with LLMs and bring about the dead internet theory.

A large part of why people join the fediverse (and the threadiverse, too) is to get away from corporatization, and AI is definitely part of that too.

I just don’t think we need to go to extremes to ban AI-generated content, but more importantly, this is not a decision that can be made globally. It must be done (and enforced, however we do that) instance by instance.

well there’s an NSFW Lemmy and Piefed instance now :smirk:

you betcha: https://docs.nodebb.org/api/write

Oh you definitely can!!, I’m able to browse and subscribe to Piefed and Lemmy communities as though they were categories 😁

@quokka@quokk.au does it work with NodeBB? :angel:

For a fediverse based technical support hub, have them post to @technical-discussion

More than happy to help. Fedify is good, but they might not be using js 🙂

Oh this is gold! Installing this as I have an unnatural hatred for short videos

Thanks for sharing, that’s quite exciting. I’m assuming BlueSky users can post to Lemmy instances (like other threadiverse) instances by mentioning the group actor?

Last I heard the Forkiverse instance has over 2k members! All the power to them :smile:

Emphasizing moderation differences and such are things best left to discover after the user successfully lands onto the fediverse.

At the start they shouldn’t even have to think about what instance they want to land on. We’re approaching it with the mindset that they “want to join Lemmy/Piefed” — that’s not right!

They should want to join a specific community, and the server just happens to be whatever they find first.

Let’s say I like Star Trek. I shouldn’t have to be redirected to startrek.website. I should be able to see the community, think “cool I want to participate”, and sign up, even if where I landed happens to be feddit, db0, or a random NodeBB instance.

Okay that’s fair.

I still think that shying away from the term would just be letting Meta win.

Might be we have to add qualifiers every time we say “threadiverse”…

• threadiverse (not that threads)
• threadiverse (lemmy/piefed/mbin)

Then again I suppose if you have to do that then that defeats the purpose of the term, doesn’t it.

Do you have occasion to talk about the threadiverse to people who do not use threadiverse software?

I usually find the conversation is much more elementary (i.e. “what are open networks”, “what is the fediverse”) and I’d never get into discussions about what the subset of the fediverse known as the threadiverse, is.

blaze@lemmy.zip there’s nothing specifically precluding Lemmy and Piefed from following users.

You can follow users on NodeBB, and in fact because I did worked on Mastodon microblog interop first, the software only gained the ability to follow a category relatively recently.

So dessalines@lemmy.ml has a point about it all being the fediverse, because some of what separates Lemmy/Piefed/mbin and Mastodon are artificial.

Eh we all have our opinions although I feel Threadiverse rolls off the tongue better than forumiverse (or foriverse which I also dislike.)

Also the term predates Threads by a full year, but I refuse to let the term die because of that association.
