So I need to run any comments I make to reddit by chatgpt before posting, it seems. I heard ai training ai leads to a poisoned data set.

It’s been that way for awhile.

If you have Amazon prime, you can sub to one creator a month “for free.”

The 90s were the calm before the storm.

It makes me regret using the service.

Sounds good! This’ll come with a reduction in the cost of prime, right?

Me, too. I’m always recommended Joe Rogan or Jordan Peterson videos, with a sprinkling of Ben Shapiro. I even got someone claiming the holocaust was overblown (i reported them). All within the past few months.

I don’t get recommended regular videos like that, but youtube shorts are full of that garbage. I suspect it’s a blind spot

I always downvote, then block the channel whenever I get those. However, I think the mere act of going to the button to block the channel instead of just scrolling on immediately is telling the algorithm that I want more of that kind of video.

Watching a bit of breadtube stuff, I feel like thr algorithm can’t determine what video is against stuff like that and what’s for, so I get recommended videos for whatever I don’t like instead of against.

Me, too. I haven’t re-authed in a while, though. Do you get the error if you log out and log back in?

Doesn’t Bing use ChatGPT, though?

He’s just a supremely powerful being (nameless thing, perhaps) who was created at the same time as Arda and who is just content living in a forest singing all day about how hot his wife is instead of caring about anything that happens in the world around him.

The question is, what is his wife, Goldberry? She appears to be a personification of nature, Arda, or just the Old Forest or something.

I wasn’t a fan of reddit in digg’s heyday because the site looked rough compared to digg and I was more interested in the discussions on digg at the time.

I only started using reddit heavily when digg rolled out digg v4. Weirdly enough, reddit seemed to look better afterward, like they improved their ux since my last visit.

I’m in a similar boat. I used slashdot occasionally (still do), but once I heard Kevin Rose was involved with digg, I started using the site heavily. I only stopped when digg v4 dropped.

I’ll have to see what he’s up to these days.

I wear one indoors or at the drive thru. I’m considering dropping the mask, but the last time I researched it, the recommendation was doing what I was already doing.

Lemmy isn’t THE reddit alternative for me. In fact, I don’t think there can be a single reddit alternative that can fill reddit’s shoes. This whole debacle was a reminder to diversify and try out different platforms.

Coming to reddit from digg, I found that I still visited slashdot after the move. Reddit’s had previous issues that has prompted people to try to migrate to other sites over the years. I joined Tildes a few years back, and before that, I was on Voat until it became clear that it was a cesspool. I also lurk occasionally on Raddle.

This migration attempt, I picked up Lemmy, and I might try a couple of other sites like Squabble. I gave up using reddit on my phone, but I still use old.reddit.com when I’m on a computer. And I still lurk on slashdot after all these years.

Having used the web before any of these sites existed, I’ve found that what’s past is prologue. There is no one size fits all, but rather a plethora of sites that host various communities.
