Play the bread crumbs gambit. Works every time.

I honestly don't know. It's going to be a big problem. LLMs are capable of having this exact convo we're having without giving away the game.

Some sort of personal vouching system? Ever changing "human tests"? I'm not sure it'll be enough.

Everyone clustered on like 4 websites for convenience, and then browsing the internet started to feel like wandering around different sections of the same department store: sterile, corporate, advertiser-safe, and everything's transactional. Plus, it made it incredibly easy for any party that wants to astroturf public opinion, because now they only have to set up shop on a few sites: botting comments, infiltrating moderator positions, abusing the algorithms.

We desperately need to break the internet's monoculture, and I think federated social media like this is a great start.

Always happy to do my part.

This is my favorite one yet.

I forgot about that community! Cross posted.

Damn it, but thank you for being that guy, lol

I even questioned myself before submitting that title, did a quick google, and figured either that was the helm or both stations up front are collectively referred to as the helm.

The results that misled me...

...now I have to stealthily edit the title.

Replaced it with this one, thanks. I had tried finding the original uncensored version but didn't have any luck.

Certain platforms screen for a list of trigger words and reduce visibility in their algorithms, which leads to people self-censoring and/or using weird euphemisms like "unalive". I think it's stupid and will usually reverse image search to find an uncensored version before posting to Lemmy, but I didn't have any luck with this one.

(I do also think it has become a trend for people to self-censor even when they don't have to because they're so used to seeing it that way on tiktok or whatever)
