Alright, thanks for the clarification! Honestly, I think both terms are misused all the time and I have just stopped caring about it.

Nah, ‘open beta’ was the term for a long time; early access is a newer thing.

I agree with you but I’m just gonna say with basic regex (hell, even without regex) you can easily find bad words without the problem you mentioned above.

Word filters tend to suck in online games and stuff because they have to navigate players trying to avoid the filter, which I think could still be improved with a little effort

You’re 100% right. The people who are already on these platforms are the ones that don’t like any algorithm at all, so they tend to be combative about its implementation. I don’t think there will be mainstream appeal until it is easy and fun to use for the average person

That’s not really how most recommendation algorithms work. A good basic algorithm would be showing you content that the people you follow are following or showing popular posts from a certain category that you tend to like

You always have to hope you can change someone’s mind. And at the very least, the people who read the comments might have something new to think about

I love it solely for the LWA reference

I was literally just thinking about this and I think you’re right

This is something I have worried about for a while. The core concept of the fediverse makes stuff like this really easy to do and there’s not really a solution. I guess government agencies just need to be on the lookout for it?

lmao

This was a good read and it’s something I’ve wondered about. The fediverse is sorta built on this promise that everyone will be able to interact across any implementation of ActivityPub.

But that’s not really true. The different types of social media have wildly different implementations, where we have to rely on developers communicating and cooperating with other implementations for everything to work even a little bit

I’ve never felt that country TLDs were worth using and this has only cemented that opinion for me

That’s not true. There are a few other free TLDs. I think five total?

It’s not jumping to conclusions; it’s actually pretty well-known. The devs and their instance are very open about being Marxist-Leninists.

I don’t see how machine learning is related to Lemmy in any way

Thats not a rebuttal. The .ml instance is run by Marxist-Leninists

Thanks, I know what it stands for but I am trying to explain why that particular top-level domain was picked for those lemmy instances

I think it’s because ML is a popular shorthand for ‘Marxist-Leninist’ since they mostly seem to be communist servers
