There’s nothing else left then.

Yes, it is indeed a very fancy autocomplete, but as much as it feels like it’s is doing reasoning, it is not.

No, it literally doesn’t understand the question. It just writes what it statistically expects would follow the words in the the sentence expressing the question.

As much as I like this approach, I want to hear if the author has at any time successfully sued anyone with it because I seriously doubt it.

There’s no point asking it factual questions like these. It doesn’t understand them.

Nowaways they block VPNs though

Because corporate media will ban or hide you from saying “suicide”.

This has never changed since the early bbforums. If you one those, they have no reason to dislike lemmy any more.

you hate corporate internet. Lemmy is like the internet you knew.

Ye, generic feed is absolute shite. Only direct links to some subs might be worth it

Reddit is completely unusable outside of old.reddit with RES and sticking to niche subs. I only ever use it when I’m extraordinarily bored and out of lemmy content.

If it quacks like a duck, and it walks like a duck…

Wait, not only are you misinterpreting what I said (I used alien.top as a case of for “admins will want to defederate because of resource abuse even when their own users find it useful” and less about “admins will ban any bot-only instance”) but your interpretation directly contradicts your first point.

And I bring up botsin.space as a bot-heavy instance which wasn’t widely defederated which obviuously proves you wrong on what constitures “resource abuse” enough to be defederated. I.e. you’re cherry-picking your example to prove your point. There’s a difference between an instance trying to duplicate all of fucking reddit, and 24 bots posting 2xday. FFS.

Yeah, you can add the “reasonable output” qualifier all you want. This would be a subjective point.

With botsin.space, we have a good example of what is reasonable to not be defederated.

And I am not arguing “everyone will defederate from instances running bots”.

This is exactly what you were arguing. There’s no reason to bring up alien.top otherwise.

This is not an hypothetical scenario. It happened with alien.top.

I am not going to argue this point. My only point in this discussion is that one can safely self-host bots with a reasonable output and have little chance of being widely defederated. I merely wanted to debunk your argument that self-hosting such bots would be de-federated by everyone.

You’re arguing with a right-libertarian, FYI. This should explain some of their positions and arguments better.

plenty of instances have mastodon.art and tech.lgbt defederated. So what? Your point was that it would be widespread, which was factually not the case. It was nowhere widespread and I know this because I was using it for my bots and could see their reach.

It seems the dev just wanted to run it as a personal fork and never understood the reason for the pr standards in a collaborative environment

I wasn’t supporting an alternative. I was merely pointing the lie in your statement that having bots in one’s instance is grounds for massive defederation. Don’t try to divert.
