i like to browse “all”, i just ignore any communities i dont care about so they dont clog it. Ignoring stuff you dont like is also quite crucial, since YOU are the algorithm here.

Sort by new occasionally, that way you might come by interesting little communities that would get buried otherwise. I also just subscribed to bunch of communities from communities tab, just based on the name.

middle and upper management and llm are incompetent, but llm would at least not have an ego about it

we need something else than just democracy, or at least something that would also protect the integrity of democracy from corruption. If we had something like that and it would function reliably well people who want change would at least have something to rally behind instead of just wanting change into “something” that isnt ever really specified and thus wont ever gain any traction.

maybe something that has semi hierarchy, that can be dismantled on a whim if needed? Have the best from both worlds. Like, anarchy + democrady -> voting system, but politican can be removed at any time by anyone, meaning that they have to actually do good job to keep representing people. Cant even try pleasing everyone and do nothing as that wont help either. Abusers get dealt with in same way as abusers get dealt with in regular anarchy. Though all this relys on humans being even semi rational and decent, which kind of makes it utopistic idea. But it would still work likely better than current only rich get to rule system. And besides, what is the worst that would happen? People vote against their own interests, get apathetic and do nothing?

At worst, nothing at all gets done as no one is in charge of anything, which would still be better situation than current one as at least things wont get worse and if there is some ongoing crisis going on that has to be dealt with, if people still cant get the head out of their arses to deal with it, they have decided to let it happen. Just as we have right now decided to let climate change happen by just pretending to do meaningful things to stop it while in truth just focusing to protect the wealth of the rich.

Every day we have less and less to lose. Any system seems better than what we currently have, though i wonder if soviet union got started with that sentiment. But something has to change because way things currently are are intolerable and by the time that transforms into physical need(like hunger) its too late already because everything is too broken already due to planet not supporting enough life to sustain meaningful civilization.

would anarchy work better in addition to some other system that does not rely on hierarchy?

at least there are still some gems appearing occasionally; project gorgon for one in my opinion at least. gloria victis was/is also pretty decent, star citizen is mixed opinion for me, but definitely above wow or other generic mmo games.

considering how certain people seem to get to the point of psychosis from llm usage, i dread the day the corporations start utilizing this fully. it would probably be possible to completely brainwash someone vulnerable to do ANYTHING with llm as long as they are receptive to it.

oof, only propaganda i remember from school in finland was about milk consumption(in favour). they even put posters about it to classrooms. I suppose it didnt bite into me that hard since i often forget to use milk carton before it rots and dont even buy milk that often because of it.

which ironically have diminished greatly in mmos

why would they? america is basically under foreign occupation, that is how much your government cares about the people.

desperate/suffering people are easier to control, i assume that is the main reason for this kind of stuff in religion especially since it has no basis in the original message.

just dont make this too obvious to the companies that do this if its possible, otherwise they will try to hide their bots better.

Also, is there a “tos” for open source projects, kind of like what is acceptable behavior and what is not? Directly calling out ai generated “contributions” as malicious and unwanted would at least remove the facade from them as non hostile.

Like, if someone trys to add malicious code to the project, that is definitely gainst some kind of agreement, no? So add slop to it too.

Israel becoming a country was a mistake, if this is the price of it.

more concrete reasons for telling people why they shouldnt use google search

they seem to just stay under things out of sight

“allies”

i’d say only americans that have cause to be proud of themselves are the ones who are actively opposing what is happening to your country.

if usa was a democracy and people had any power, maybe…? might as well try oust putin out of power, maybe the response is still less violent than it would be in russia, but you’ll have as much success. Though with enough people demanding something, change happens or steps toward change start to happen, but way america is you need really thorough rebuilding of your entire political system for things to get better.

But as quick patch one thing that comes to my mind is abandoning both sides of your oneparty system and starting a third pary, but that is just temporary because eventually it will be either taken down or corrupted, but it might give you at least something without having to resort to more violent measures.

see it as it is; full of shitty people with maybe some decent ones sprinkled here and there, owned by even shittier people. How ever it is now, it will get worse in future. Sooner you get off, easier time you will have since eventually it will get to the point you have to leave or just accept everything and hate yourself for it.

Develop some contempt towards corporations in general -> it goes long way to help resist their bullshit.

key word being pretend. They will say pretty words and maybe even “donate” to some tax evasion charity, but they will be quite contently sipping expensive wine in their expensive homes while others lose theirs.
