Count me in!

I meant that would be a nice instance. I checked: .sport is a existing first level domain and the URL is available.

2 or 3 regular contributors

But how many lurkers? 2 or 3 regular contributors with interesting takes is enough for me to pop from time to time in space I don’t comment.

Also, a new user founding a small community of 3 active members postings for a year or two will probably join while it probably past mass posting without comment or a place without content history.

Percolating? What does that means here? Is this not about making coffee?

PieFed has feed that can agregate a diversity of small or niche sport community in one scrollable thread but I don’t see the point of make volontarly many niche communities at once.

lemmy.sport

It did but I believe the federation broke at some point and never got fixed.

Mastodon has a lot of people talking about craft. Meanwhile Lemmy’s rare communities on the topics get a post every ten days.

Many should probably be distroy without training a LLM or we will get models that are aggressivly mysoginist and who verbally abuse female users, on top of every other problem they cause.

All books created today exist electronically before (a copy) gets physically printed of a book that remains existing.

Not really. There is a lot of full manuscrit books made to this day. By scholar in region where electricity is not as much available. By student compile hand-written notes from oral teaching. By people composing small things for family and friends or just for themselves. By activist and locally involed people making just on or a few copy to be share in physicial Space around them.

That’s a huge part of what exist outside the publishing industry.

I just went on and read more article of the topics people shared in the comment. That’s sounds worrying indeed but my point is more that Annans Archive appeal is very abstract in a way that it présent something that doesn’t have to be a problem in a very sensationnalising manner instead of being clear about what is whappening and what we can do.

AI training is distroying books

Every time I hear that claim it sounds weird to me. You can’t say that without an explanation.

Sure, scanning a print copy can mean distroying it but a book as a work still exist. We are very far from having scanned every books which physical copy are numerous. If AI trains on every romance novel published in the 80’s, it is far from distroying books by distroying physical copy.

Now if AI company are searching for rare books to scan and distroy, it is much more worrying but finding rare editions or print copies of books is a trade and the normal citizen can’t jumps in to save the day.

I hate them. This kind of small interaction ads are even more intrusive than other kind.

That is a proper base-20 heritage. May you live to six-twenties.

I don’t see it is really yet, mostly in terms of content. It lacks in many topics and is drowning under a few others. I would rather like to try building conversation on more diverse topics with the people already here and let curiosity and the network effect very slowly bring the other people in. Plus, it would make the fediverse more enjoyable for people already here.

Even in terms of interoperability the fediverse make a promise it can’t really uphold today. Sure I have my geek fun time publishing my reading note from BookWyrm to Lemmy and commenting on PieFed photos from Sharkey but it is not something a casual user would do. The fediwares need to mature and implement the interoperability ActivityPub allows. That won’t be for tomorrow.

In my neighborhood, cats cross on crosswalk and look both way before.

That’s disappointing to see people who could attract people to the fediverse leave it and with bad memories.

I won’t complained if you served me cabbage or beans. Both are delicious.

Well Idk. The rare timed I post OC, I send pictures from my phone to Summit using Scrabble Exit. I’ve never thought about image hosting.

Oh… I’ve never watched that movie in english.
