  • Here’s the real kicker. Most algorithms don’t actually differentiate content based on words outside of flagging them to be removed or age restricted. On Twitter or facebook, censoring words has never done anything, but everyone was so convinced that it did, they invented this method of getting around censors that don’t exist. I think it was cnet who just started removing old content so that Google would promote their newer content more, then a Google engineer come out and said that it’s never filtered content based on how “fresh” the sites back catalog is. People though links in tweets would supreas the tweet until one of their devs said it was bunk too.

    Turns out, people make shit up to make sense of what they don’t understand. God will I guess lol.







  • the entirety of lemmy is not big enough to warrant splitting “technology” into 5+ different groups. this isn’t different groups of people all talking about something from different perspectives, its the same people separated by federation while simultaneously filling everyone’s feeds with the same exact content.

    I don’t see why you are offended at him…

    1 i’m not really offended, i don’t care about anonymous morons on the internet. 2, have you even read these comments?

    But have you considered that we’re not indexed on Google yet?

    lemmy is indexed by google. it shows up on the first page of the search for “lemmy”









  • a simple flaw in this design is that users on lemmy.world and users on beehaw.org are not federated, so how do we resolve that issue for a community that is on .ml, .world, beehaw, and nsfw, beehaw would have to support content from world, who they are currently defederated with, or their users would just not see content from world users. the whole premise of defederation is ironically antithetical to the premise of federation. by making a larger group of distributed users, the system could work great. but the admins are taking their personal issues to each other causing fractures that make adoption for newer users and more laymen basically impossible. that whole “it doesn’t matter what instance you use” is complete BS at this point since half of the top 5 instances are defederated frome at least 1 other.
