.world isn’t the worst option, but if you’re looking to escape inexplicable moderation and power tripping self indulgence, you may want to look for another instance to host your account.
Also if you’re against genocide, you will have different values than their moderators who are active genocide apologists and use their moderation to silence anyone who stands up against it.
But still plenty of authoritarians who will tell you fascists are a better option than the better options.
So you went to .world, to avoid overzealous and unnecessary bans and moderation. Lol.
They do definitely only care about money, but there aren’t shareholders anymore.
My parents made that decision, while I screamed in pain.
My thoughts on being born
1 + 1 + 1 = 3 (the sum of all of the digits)
3 is divisible by 3
111 is divisible by 3
In b4 food chains collapse because the ocean is boiling and land is on fire, and everyone you claim has a ‘better’ life starves to death
Obviously this isn’t ideal, and fuck the massive amounts of destruction (environmental, economical, societal) of AI, but these stories amount to ‘book owner does what they want with books they own’.
I don’t disagree with any of these responses, and I’m not saying reporting on this to make people aware of it is bad or pointless.
So now what do we do about it?
I actually really hate the bullshit fluff they add to the permissions request. It’s not cute, permissions should be concise and clear.
Yeah, leaving one authoritarian shithole where you have no rights for another authoritarian shithole where you have no rights isn’t what I imagine most scientists are looking for.
To be fair, too many people are using your account. 0 people should be on it.
Some guy made a customized lemmy frontend.
He decided to be a fascist justice warrior and secretly embed filters that blocked users he didn’t like personally.
Someone noticed and said wtf?
He framed it as protecting lemmy and new users - anyone asking why a frontend should even be doing this, let alone in an obfuscated, default enabled manner, were met with his whinging.
Instead of accepting the unpopularity of his extremely poor choices, he instead decided to commit the crimes of disturbing malicious software.

or, you know, don’t use reddit
The coffee looks gross, but somehow not the most infuriating part of this image
So what you’re saying is… they’re inherently bad.
Yeah just squeezing every penny from developers instead.
You don’t afford a fleet of yachts without stealing something from someone.
Who’s safety though? The car owner that chooses to not have this system? The other driver that can choose whether or not to have such a system? The inanimate infrastructure that was involved in the accident?
I mean, the AI hate is unfortunately really justified, for so many reasons. And I say this as someone who appreciates how useful LLMs are at processing language, especially those of the programming variety.
There’s the whole billionaire techno fascism trying to use AI as a tool to further enslave us. Or those same people stealing people’s work illegally and profiting off of it. The entire consumer tech market being destroyed. The environment. The tax breaks and subsidizing small communities pay to prop up data centers. Those same communities paying more for utilities, while they still CAN afford them. Brain atrophy. The issues the education failing to keep up. Misinformation. Fraud. The list goes on, so so many terrible things.
But yeah, for people who already understand how programming works, it can definitely help save time and effort.
Does the cost outweigh the benefits?
