    The kbin server is massively overloaded right now so things like federation of messages are badly impacted. But once that is over you should see the the same content in a group no matter where you follow it from.

    What a great article. First it gave me a fascinating introduction to an approach I had never heard of before, and then it got me worried about it.

    One point that they didn’t touch on is that one of the points of maintaining biological diversity must surely to be to maintain a diversity of behaviour. If we start to conserve wildlife by changing their behaviour, there’s a danger that we start to favour working with species who are amenable to this approach. Imagine a future where biodiversity consists of an extraordinary range of breeds of canids, pigeons and rats!


  • Indeed. If you read the actual statement they got, you’ll find that The Verge has been very irresponsible in how they reported it.

    We’ve connected with select developers of non-commercial apps that address accessibility needs and offered them exemptions from our large-scale pricing terms,” Reddit spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt says in a statement to The Verge.

    This is just PR fire-fighting. There’s no commitment to do this for any other apps. If people prefer the different accessibility features of other apps, then they will remain screwed.

    No. They will unperson any recalcitrant mods and drop in their own henchmen. 90% of Redditors won’t know what has happened and will just end up watching many more old videos of kittens falling over posted by bots as Reddit slowly follows Digg into irrelevancy.

    The Reddit board will continue to focus on charging AI bros through the nose for access to our content until they all get bored and leave the wreckage with their pockets full of loot.
