  • I agree with the overall concept, LLMs seem extremely useful, I’d say our direction for them is just idiotic. Local devices trained for what they are actually doing, without sending everything back so you can confidently train it on your styles of things etc… I see as a very practical idea. But of course the US’s super focused giant corporate controlled everything goes to a data center of some huge dangerous tech company is beyond ridiculous, and of course just the build out scale of investing literal trillions of dollars into it.


  • You know, funny thing is time flipping around, I remember in the days of ratsinger, and my view on american catholics was that they were mostly good hearted people, doing the best they can to see humanity in a corrupt organization that’s rotting from the head.

    Now it feels like the popes are largely good people, doing the best they can, while many of their followers have turned into the most vile worse side of humanity, and as they try to steer it, the more the following just turns on the pope and more towards the hateful monsters like the guy who killed the last pope.

    I think that’s about step 1… if the republicans were gone… more democrats would be challanged from the left. Either a real left wing party could be established. Or democrats would be able to consistantly be forced in the right direction. The biggest problem is the constant if we don’t 100% unify quickly we risk the facists taking over and creating messes that will take 10 years of good policy to reverse even if we get a perfect candidate in, is the giant problem.








  • The super simplified version of it is.

    some instances block other instances. Either due to political differences or because too many spammers are in one etc… Bottom line, if it’s not linked or blocked, you won’t be able to see posts to them, and people on those instances won’t see posts you make from your own, (creates kind of a shadow ban, where you think you are posting, but no one over there can see it).

    you can see if you go to

    https://thelemmy.club/instances

    you can see a list of instances they’ve linked with, and blocked.

    compare that to say beehaw

    https://beehaw.org/instances

    You’ll see there’s a big difference in what they do and don’t federate with. Which could be good or bad depending on how you look at it.

    If you have a community or 2 that you really care about, it’s worth checking to make sure their instance you want to post to and read the posts of, is friendly with the one you don’t



  • Pretty much it’s like an e-mail service overall. obviously for the “MOST” part you can join any instance and it will let you view content on almost any other instance.

    Like say beehaw I believe defederates from instances that don’t have verification steps at the start.

    instances like, lemmygrad, hexbear etc… are considered tankie, so a handful of places defederate them. and I believe a few like that tend to lean right and get defederated by most.

    Edit: fixed misassumption on what hexbear was,
