As someone who used to post OC, it’s why I left. Nothing but OF spam bots and pics of pornstars. Reddit is somehow the better option, unfortunately.

That’s just like, your opinion dude.

Seriously though, it’s an option piece from a freelancer. Opinions are not considered a form of evidence, nor is the author an expert in any field.

Softcore gilf porn created by an AI to sell state lottery tickets wasn’t on my cards for 2024, but here we are.

This is also what I tend to use

I agree with that, but am also limited to being able to afford just a few news subscriptions. Assuming I’m not the exception, it just seems to be counterproductive towards generating discussion in a community for discussing news.

People who can only view a clickbait headline also end up not knowing the context of what others are discussing that may have paid for the subscription, and could further be counterproductive in generating meaningful discussion.

… Everything you’re doing is destroying the planet. You’ve got to eat your peas.

Dude is in his 70s and still acts like his mom is literally Satan for saying he has to eat his peas. That’s some real snowflake shit.

With the archive link posted in the body, that’s not really a paywall anymore. I do appreciate you doing that though!

I hadn’t considered the second part, but couldn’t bundling the source with the bypass solve that issue?

Being that news communities are there to facilitate discussion, it seems counterproductive to keep people from viewing the article in question. If someone just wanted to read the headlines and not have any discussion, an RSS feed would probably be better.

I’m not sure why, but you seem to have posted this yesterday but it didn’t show up until an hour ago. Your instance may be having some issues.

I do get where you’re coming from with all that, but the act of going to therapy itself is an achievement a patient can benefit from, and should be considered from the start. If that truly isn’t possible for someone, voice calls from a real therapist are a reasonable next step.

Also, the original question was, “Can AI replace therapists?”. I can see some meaningful benefits coming from an AI assisting a therapist, but that’s not what I was getting at. AI alone really just feels like a bandaid on a bullet wound, when applying pressure or a tourniquet is also available.

I think there’s a good chance people will leave once Lemmy integrates with Threads. So if you time things wisely, you can probably get a good base of users to swap their coms to Sublinks.

What’s your planned policy for karma? I know users hated it, but as a reddit mod I found it super useful to determine between a misinformed user and a troll. If your plan for mod tools is as good as you’re saying, I wouldn’t mind going back to modding.

CSAM is still unfortunately an issue on Lemmy. Just yesterday I had to contact an admin of the 2nd largest instance directly to get a post removed that had been up for several hours. Worst of all, it had more upvotes than downvotes. I do applaud the admin for taking action the minute I notified them, but it should never have been able to get that far.

Also, some of the issues involving Lemmy developers really remind me of major Minecraft servers back in the day lol. There’s just an inability for the “helpers” to do much problem solving because of the lack of tools, and absolute reliance on the person at the top to take action. Even then, the person at the top doesn’t always have the skill set necessary to solve the issues that arise.

I look forward to seeing how Sublinks goes, but without a good reason for users to migrate it could be dead on arrival.

Awww :(

Strongly disagree. OP is a dummy and she should post more

Stongly disagree. OP is and OP dummy and she should she more.

Stongly sagree. OJ is OP and dummy and she and should she more…

Only if you want your kids to get bullied at school for being a total nerd. I’ll be teaching my kids to bully the nerds, thank you very much!

That’s the spirit!

(Thanks :) I’ve gotten some fuckin foul DMs at this point)

I 100% agree. That user posts some really shitty opinions. She should probably get banned from Lemmy for life at this point.

Well, I started the trend, so ya can at least give me the credit lol. I didn’t want to say anything hurtful though, so I’m just posting dumb/silly fake opinions.

There’s been numerous requests by users to get active moderators in the community, and since nobody is listening to the polite requests, I’m gonna be shitposting until someone takes notice. The mods have been inactive for 4 weeks to 7 months at this point.

We shouldn’t be teaching kids that letters are numbers though. It’s brainwashing and I won’t let my 5 future unborn children be taught it by the Marxist Capitalists, so I’m homeschooling.

Awww :(

Oop, my bad. Forgot how the original goes
