Yeah, but I like to play PC games.

I love the tactile feeling of writing on paper.

Isn’t that also referred to as Virtual Intelligence vs Artificial Intelligence? What we have now I’d just very well trained VI. It’s not AI because it only outputs variations of what’s it been trained using algorithms, right? Actual AI would be capable of generating information entirely distinct from any inputs.

I think I could count the number of porn posts I’ve seen in the last month on one hand. Where do they claim all of it is coming from? I wouldn’t mind more porn tbh.

New Reddit isn’t gonna tolerate a sub dedicated to content piracy with an IPO in mind. That ship is sinking if not sunk already. If you don’t like it here, I’m sure there are other places on the internet for discussion.

Yeah I’m starting to realize some things after really exploring Lemmy after a few days. My biggest concern is that the whole federated thing isn’t gonna work for me. I don’t want to hunt for small communities and then risk losing them in petty squabbles by those who control them. It’s like a whole bunch of little villages who claim to be united and connected, but in reality any village can cut off contact with any other for whatever reason their village leader(s) decide. You can leave the village if you don’t like it, sure, but do you really want to end up as an internet nomad? I sure don’t. Federation clearly does not inherently mean everyone is connected, despite what some proponents of the fediverse might say.

As a Reddit refugee, and thus part of the problem, this kind of thing is what makes me unsure if I want to use Lemmy. I don’t want to suddenly lose access to communities I’ve become accustomed to for reasons beyond my control.

Also, is there a way to see all the instances that have specifically defederated or blocked this one?

What does pending subscribe mean?

Reddit has answered almost every question I’ve ever had for years. The potential loss of all the knowledge is my greatest concern.
