  I think that’s a bad analogy for a few reasons. First, all the examples you’ve posted are specifically meme template-friendly subs, which makes sense since they’re inherently easy to repost. I don’t think think a baking community would have that problem. But even if it did, you could just start a new baking community that bans reposts? Given how unpopular repost bots are, I assume your anti-repost baking community would be more popular than the hypothetical pro-repost baking community that your posts are buried in. Assuming that repost bots are drowning out more organic content, which prima facie doesn’t seem to be the case in either community you screenshotted as examples. Both seem like pretty solid examples of their being no other content.

  Structurally speaking, up and down votes should ideally, roughly sort posts by quality. A post being buried (unpopular) in a community isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

  If fear of not getting enough internet points is what’s keeping someone from posting, that’s more on them.

  All the posts in the OP seem to have generated engagement though. Just because the poster is a bot doesn’t mean all comments are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess I’m in the extreme minority, but like… All the posts in OP are heavily upvoted and spawned comments. That’s… good? I don’t see why people care more about where a post comes from than the fact that large stretches of the Threadiverse are barren and reposts are the only content available.

  Sanitation is my most upvoted Threadiverse poster, and I’d rather have their content than nothing. Which, largely, is the alternative.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  All of those posts are heavily upvoted and have multiple comments though? Accreditation, etc. are all valid critiques, but I genuinely don’t understand why so many people care about the provenance of posts.

  Like what? What is piefed blocking that I can’t currently access?

  The main reason I landed on piefed.zip was because it was the only instance I could find that didn’t defederate any content; piracy, .ml instances, hexbear, etc. Not that I necessarily want that content, but I don’t like the idea of an instance admin making that decision for me. I checked all the pylova instances and they seem to all defederate the above to varying degrees. Is the only way to ensure I see the whole Fediverse to spin up my own instance? (Something I’m very sure I do not have the know-how to do.)

  No country has a right to exist. People have rights. States have responsibilities.

  I haven’t watched the video yet, to be fair, but Johnny Harris is very much not a figure I’d trust on this topic. Not after his ghost written shareholder capitalism propaganda.

  Is this a serious question?

  People don’t like that generative AI is based on stolen content. People don’t like that it’s being forced into everything. People don’t like that it isn’t even good at most of the things it tries to do. People definitely hate it’s attempts at ‘music’ and ‘art.’ People don’t like it’s immense energy costs. People don’t like that it might render them, and everyone else, unemployed. People don’t like that they’re owned by oligarchs.

  Oligarchs invested trillions in the hope of firing ys all and no longer paying us wages. You need to get some class consciousness.

  If in your bedroom is all you can do, that’s better than nothing, but the ability to effectively organize online only is limited.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨From a socialist perspective, what are the solutions to doomerism, and that "can't find love" feeling that I've been seeing on Twitter (specifically a frontend)?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know this sounds like a stupid platitude, but the solution to doomerism is to organize. In real life, with living, breathing humans.

  Join whatever organization is in active in your community, start attending meetings, find a campaign to plug into, and spend at least a few hours a week doing something positive with other people that want to do something positive. And, after you campaign with them, socialize with them because organizing can be hard but feeling connected to members of your community feels better.

  I helped found a mutual aid working group in my DSA chapter; we spend all month taking in donations, and then host a monthly Food Not Bombs-style food and hygienic supply distribution for the unhoused and food insecure. The feeling you get when you actually help improve people’s material conditions is genuinely just the best.

  And, yeah, definitely get off Twitter.

  What a terribly written article.

  So it’s bricking an external piece of cheating hardware and not users’ actual PCs, or…?
