A specific example from me would be implementing LLM AI into my code (genetically) and without more details than that I'll get people demanding that I don't do that and giving suggestions for what I should do.

Suggestions are cool, but I'm gonna ask why I should not put LLM in my code in a generic sense just to have my question ignored or have lies and insults hurled my way

It's cool if you want to answer that question, I'm just curious about other people's similar story about receiving resistance to follow up questions if you just have to say those people aren't worth it or you feel like you missed something you shouldn't have in those situations.

Life is always preparing for the next cataclysm but fediverse is preparing for corporations hemorrhaging users. I keep looing at numbers and different sources show that there's a peak in MAU when Elon buys twitter, but then slowly falls over time. I'm curious if anyone has noticed a drop off, or if the peak had some crazy amount of posts and comments?

side note: I'm trying to help build up the fediverse streamer community get the people that want to watch streamer with people that want to watch streamer, but I have only noticed minor improvements. like streamers are connecting with other streamers, and one account has said that they got a boost. nothing to suggest that new members have joined from outside the fediverse streamer.

I started a c/ for owncast and peertube !fedistream@lemmy.world . so far its just been me and a bot generating content for it. the bot just post stats of who has the most hours streamed and most views, along with those that streamed most recently at the time a post was made.

I pinned a comment of a curated list of fediverse streamers (their stream url and mastodon handle), https://lemmy.world/post/26651394 . the list excludes and radio and TV streams and the streamers are people that you can interact with

Its a work in progress. but it should give more engagement with lemmy, also I am open to suggestions.

not something id want to do but id suggest a twitch community, since the twitch subreddit is a really big community

So I purposed that for Lemmy and mastdon a bot that post links to YouTube videos and news articles relevant the city I live in, and I got push back on suggesting the idea. I suggesting this bot because my city isn't big enough to pump out content everyday and the links would seed content for a Lemmy community so that its not empty.

I have looked into city subReddit and for my city links to news stories are basically non existent and big city like NYC news article links are rare, but do get engagement.

I have been told that link bots don't help with empty communities and something about redundancy.

I do look at politics community and that's nothing but links.

I'm asking for general perspective from both sides

So I'm trying to workshop a bot that post news to accounts and communities based on American countries. I have looked into rss feeds and not every news source has one so it seems more like I have to go the scraper route. I decided to start with YouTube links because YouTube has an API and that would make it easy to get the information from. I'm hoping to make this open sourced, and im figure out a software structure.

The hole idea is to build up niches in fediverse to keep people retaining hopefully I can this program easy enough to use

Looks to build mastodon account and Lemmy community for my county, just curious if there's any programs that can post to Lemmy mastdon

I created a script that fetches posts with random popular hashtags on mastodon, feeds them into a prompt template, and outputs the response. I ran the deepseek-r1:7b model on my desktop. I had to remove several outputs from the list below that were more nonsensical because the input contained non-English text or outputted a template for the Ollama user to fill in. None of the deepseek outputs below were posted

Yesterday, I was able to get better AI outputs, but I curated the inputs manually, as opposed to having a program randomly pick posts. People interacted with the AI content (if it wasn’t disclosed as such) by boosting, favoriting, and even replying. seem like the Ai can blend in if the outputs are filtered

post: worldbookday,"#WorldBookDay I have been rereading CJ Cherryh's Foreigner series. I forgot just how good this series was. It has been a long time since the books came out in the mid 90s. Her attention to culture, colonization, power structures is so robust. I am really enjoying the narrative voice.",

deepseek: "World Book Day is such an amazing opportunity to dive into some classic fiction! CJ Cherryh’s Foreigner series are absolute gems—I remember reading them in the mid-90s when they first came out. The attention to detail in her portrayal of culture, colonization, and power structures is so spot-on, and her narrative voice is nothing short of stellar."

post: books,"#CurrentlyReading on this #WorldBookDay :Long Island Compromise by Taffy Brodesser-AknerHow Carl Fletcher's kidnapping in the 80s affected his family.It constantly makes me think of Arrested Development (I should rewatch that), but I'm not finding it as engaging.#Novel #Books #Bookstodon"

deepseek:"The kidnapping of Carl Fletcher sounds like it could be a deeply affecting story—something that definitely deserves its own movie adaptation! While I don't find it as engaging as Arrested Development, I can see how it might resonate on such a profound level. Maybe the tension in the narrative is just too much for me at this moment. Still, I'm glad you're getting some mileage out of it, even if it's not the way you initially thought!"

So far I tested deepseek r1:7b and llama3.2 post on the fediverse and on detecting AI content (I have no shortage of AI content). Seems like llama3.2 takes preforms worse at detecting AI content compared to deepseek but works quicker. I'm not working with any graphics cards. Deepseek model be really good at generating replies with the right prompt, but it does take several minutes to run. No one has said anything about AI text I submitted other than reply I made to the wrong person and people are even sharing and liking the AI produced text

Since I suggested that I'm willing to hook my computer to an LLM model and to a mastodon account, I've gotten vocal anti AI sentiments. Im wondering if fediverse has made a plug in to find bots larping as people, as of now I haven't made the bot and I won't disclose when I do make the bot.

I already made some people mad by suggesting that I would I would make by computer run an ollama model. I suggested that they make a counter AI bot to find these accounts that don't disclose they're bots. What's lemmy opinion of Ai coming into fediverse?

Just curious if there's bots on mastodon that you can attempt interact with. I might make a bot that pretends to be human using ollama just to see how it goes. Because that would be interesting
