It would be easy to introduce a "political" tag in all major Lemmy communities so that users can decide for themselves whether they want to see such content or not. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

I agree. Nevertheless, people here prefer arbitrary decisions based on rules that are so broad that they only encourage arbitrary decisions by the moderators. From this, I can only conclude that even the people here would rather be entertained than face the adversities of reality.

For me, that is unacceptable - so I'm moving on.

Most of the misery in the world is the direct result of too much money in too few unscrupulous hands. This is not only the cause of the vast majority of human suffering, but also of climate change. (lemmy.world)

LLMs are already doing fascists a favor by ensuring that anything that is reasonably eloquently worded on social media is automatically suspected of having been written by LLMs. (lemmy.world)

This is a Nazi's wet dream, because they have always been enemies of thought, and now they have a machine that eloquently sells their animalistic ideas.

What motivates social media trolls, or trolls in general? (lemmy.world)

I don't mean those who are paid to do so -their motivation is obvious. I mean people who are destructive out of their own motivation and represent untenable points of view. Are they really serious about this?What's the point?

I mean, it can't all be the propaganda machine. What would be the point of trying that with Lemmy, who is paid for it? With LLMs, I can still understand that it could be done very economically, but even here there are real people who do it. Why? How did they come up with that? What is the goal? What drives them to do it?

I don't get that at all.

If social media apps had existed in 1933, history would not have unfolded differently. If anything, it would have been significantly worse. (lemmy.world)

Is it legally possible to explicitly exclude the use of content (text, images, code, etc.) for the purpose of training AI models by including a corresponding clause in the terms of use? (lemmy.world)

Should such a clause not be added as standard today, similar to the "salvatory clause," provided that the content is not intended for the widest possible distribution?

There should be more negative awards. For example: the most pathetic nation or the most monstrous person of the year. (lemmy.world)

How come posts on Lemmy often have fewer upvotes than the comments in the thread, even if they merely provide additional information or expand on the idea? (lemmy.world)

Campact-Petition: Keine Macht für Oligarchen: Bundesregierung endlich runter von X (weact.campact.de)

Vielleicht helfen solche Petitionen unseren Politikern ja dabei, ihre verantwortungslose Social-Media-Strategie zu überdenken, wenn das Volk sie explizit darauf hinweist, wie absurd es ist, dass sie Accounts auf einer rechtsextremen Propaganda-Plattform betreiben. 12.000 Bürger sind es immerhin schon.

Vielleicht hilft es ja auch, der Politik in Erinnerung zu rufen, dass sie dieses Elend selbst verursacht haben und es weiter aktiv unterstützen, indem sie Monopole fördern anstatt sie zu bekämpfen.

Vielleicht hilft es ihnen ja dabei, das Fediverse zu entdecken.

Nichts davon ist wahrscheinlich, aber einen Versuch scheint es wert.

Culture no longer exists in our reality today because most of the actors responsible for it have long been deprived of their livelihood. (lemmy.world)

What is sold as culture today is just that: a product; a derivative of humanity, sold by the world's most successful companies as a hollow substitute, but one that sells like hotcakes.
