Like hell me, my 1 friend and my half working Matrix server are.
I have not experienced such on Reddit myself, but I am diversifying my use, just in case.
This place looks nice so I've created an account and set up a new bookmark.
Literally Spez right now...

(I'd post the uncensored image but IIRC Lemmy World is German-based and have strict laws against Nazi iconography)
He's wilfully given the data of users who have criticized Trump and ICE, AND he looks like a spitting image of Tintin...
While germany has strict laws against using Nazi iconography, there are a lot of exceptions that allow them in satire, arts, etc.
Couple of years back they even allowed swastikas in video games because the law recognised them as art.
Peter fucking thiel has too much money and is backing everything, for example PayPal and stripe that are processing 80% of e-commerce payments
palintirs AI desperate need to get clients, so when the bubble burst they wont be hurt that much.
Over my dead body. These services can go fuck themselves and die.
This compels me to learn deepfakes, which seems not too hard as long as you have sufficient hardware... Or if not then those Death Stranding like methods might still work :AyameHmm:
It's quite doable. If you have pretty much any not-prehistoric GPU, you can run quantized Z-Image turbo. If it's a not-ancient Nvidia GPU, you can run a 4-bit SVDquant version extremely quickly.
There may even be versions runnable on Intel IGPs or beefy CPUs these days, though I have not personally investigated this.
Or you can just use the Artbot through the AI Horde for a deepfake, with no corporate servers involved. It's crowdsourced inference, basically the equivalent of the Fediverse.
Those are weird places to mine data... are they specifically targeting young people?
Normalise it while they're young, so they fight it less when they grow up
What is the lemmy equivalent for discord?
Matrix is probably the closest in terms of being widespread and well supported by client and server implementations, though it's not quite the same. It's a bit finicky in practice too.
Matrix. Also to a much lesser degree XMPP.
