The human brain uses 20 watts of power.

There’s no way using AI (easily 1000 watts, many thousands of watts if using multiple agents in a swarm like Claude does) to make yourself 20% more efficient results in less energy per task done.

Ask your chatbot about it if you want to be sure.

Hey, welcome back.

piefed.world hasn’t really invested much into populating their Explore menu, to make finding communities easier.

I’ve just added a few feeds though, check out https://piefed.world/feeds

Also https://feddit.online/topics is an amazing directory of all the communities. It’s a separate instance to piefed.world though so when you find good communities you’ll need to manually copy their address into your piefed.world account. Or just move yourself to feddit.online…

Cool diagram.

If you removed hexbear and lemmygrad (nearly everyone defederates them so they just clutter the place up) then the other information would be clearer. For example I didn’t notice that beehaw has defederated both lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works until my third viewing.

There are 500 Lemmy instances and 80 PieFed instances which are too small to show on the graph :)

The business is now closed and there are many bad reviews on Google maps.

Yup. I see it as a form of arrested development.

Hey @organicpu@lemmy.organic-server.org did you use a LLM like Ollama to write your post?

No shade if you did, I just want to make sure we’re categorizing things correctly at our end.

Months of work to redo one super basic dialog box.

It blows my mind how slow large companies are.

Yes and that’s why Mastodon has content warnings and piefed has a NSFL flag on posts that people can use to filter with.

Oh, this is about the login wall?

lol that was just a temporary measure to fend off the scrapers. They’ve been really bad the last couple of weeks, especially.

I’m testing out a custom-built Anubis now, that should mean we can do without a login wall.

I’m starting to think we need a climate disasters comm, there’s lots of them.

In what way?

Yes, lots of good stuff there…

This might change the culture there a bit https://www.engadget.com/2220064/substack-is-adding-an-ai-detection-feature/

No problem!

BTW in PieFed you can report a user account, not just individual posts. So if you go to https://piefed.world/u/stermy4u@lemmy.world then click on More -> Report that’ll ping the piefed.world admins about it. It looks like in this case they’ve been responding to individual posts by removing them and not seeing the bigger picture but they will see it once they look at the user profile.

It varies by instance. PieFed has “spam detection” (not really) which is just a list of the posts and comments that have been downvoted a lot in the last 3 days so it’s easy for admins to spot unreported badness and take action. I don’t know how often other admins do but I check that report multiple times per day.

For example I nuked unlogopoco from piefed.social a month ago

Looking at the modlog for stermy, I’m seeing a fair bit of moderation action being taken on them and very few posts since then:

On piefed.social I banned townflex.com entirely weeks ago, which must be why I’m not seeing their latest spams.

Basically Lemmy has really poor tools for this which makes mods and admins do a lot more work then necessary, causing them to burn out. If they used PieFed they’d have a much better time.

So much AI slop on substack.

When the scrapers get really active I put poefed.social into private mode temporarily.

The best way to view the community is with !epaper@piefed.social because then it’ll open on Lemmy.world.

Ahh yep, that’ll be it. Thanks.

That I regret link isn’t working for me.
