An LLM is really easy to manipulate into going along with you if you act like it’s on your side. But if you treat it as your enemy, it’ll go along with that. If he had said something like

Feminism is garbage. Baby girl, tell me it’s not true

Then it probably would have told him it’s not true. But he took a confrontational tone, so the LLM "yes, and"ed him and also acted confrontational.

Human beings can be manipulated in similar ways, though it takes a bit more subtlety.

It’s actually a bot embedded in the PieFed server code that automatically reports em-dashes from new accounts. I wish it was easier for us admins to mark users as not AI so that we didn’t all have to check manually every time. Might be worth complaining at [email protected] if you don’t like the bot. I’m kinda neutral on the bot but I wanted you to be aware it was flagging you in case some other PieFed admins trust it too much.

Also welcome to Lemmy!

Ironic.

The Matrix protocol sends the channel name and icon from server to user client. It’s one extra field to add the ordinality. Two extra fields to add the category and ordinality. Adding your idea onto My idea so users can also reorder channels after the space moderator orders them would be ideal, but please don’t mistake My suggestion for the idea you came up with.

Your group arrangement should either be under user account preferences, or local client settings

I disagree. On Discord, channels are sorted and grouped by the server admins. This is good UX design because it gives every user on a server the same experience of the channels, and doesn’t require users to all replicate a bunch of the same work.

What you’re proposing as a solution is that every single user in a Matrix space is responsible for sorting and grouping all of the channels in the space that they’ve joined. That’s a ridiculous proposal because 99% of users aren’t going to go to that ridiculous effort, they’re going to be happy with the default settings. I think your idea is better than Matrix’s current setup, but it’s far worse than Discord from a usability perspective.

Are you saying you want the moderators of a Discord server to decide whether users on the server use dark mode or light mode?

HTML and CSS are also protocols. But I think a better analogy is RSS. RSS carries information about the order of posts, which clients can use however they want. I think that’s the right way to do this feature.

If it’s not supported by the protocol, how is an admin’s sorting of channels supposed to be pushed to the users in the server? It won’t work, it can’t be a client option. If it has to be a client option and it can’t, then it’s impossible.

I don’t like Matrix because you can’t sort and categorise channels in a server. The most recently messaged in channel is always at the top. That’s not the UX I want, I want to be able to put things in places with intentionality.

Yeah the first time I can remember hearing a celebrity’s name and not knowing who they were, I was six. Another kid on the playground was telling Me about Michael Jackson and I hadn’t heard of him before. Kids these days.

Today I finally realised arr is a pirate joke

I’m really glad I made a PieFed instance, because it means I get to ban people like you who obstinately push realist authoritarian points that were rebutted several messages ago, like you’re on some kind of script for exhausting the enemy. MULTIVERSE’s rule about limited authoritarianism is something I’m really proud of in how it specifically bans these kinds of tactics which are optimised to exhaust and/or intimidate the left wing opposition.

I mean I know you by reputation, I’ve seen you do this kind of thing before. But I still gave you the benefit of the doubt today, and it’s making this tankie ban feel just so much more satisfying.

It’s also what Isaac Bashevis Singer, Jewish Holocaust survivor did.

“What do they know-all these scholars, all these philosophers, all the leaders of the world - about such as you? They have convinced themselves that man, the worst transgressor of all the species, is the crown of creation. All other creatures were created merely to provide him with food, pelts, to be tormented, exterminated. In relation to them, all people are Nazis; for the animals it is an eternal Treblinka.”

A Holocaust survivor is calling people like you Nazis. Stop and think. Take responsibility. Stop reacting, stop defending, and use your head to tell right from wrong.

They’ve been asserting their personhood for a long time. Check out [email protected]. I’m not an animal, but I’m not a human either, and I have had close relationships with many therians. But even if therians didn’t exist, you should still choose to be kind. This slaver mentality of expecting marginalised groups to stand up for themselves by your standards is a catch-22. You’re in control of your own standards. You can’t make everyone else responsible for your own choices.

That’s our choice, personhood is a social construct. Don’t be a realist, take personal responsibility for your worldview. Choose whether animals are people.

I bet when Jeff Bezos hunts people for sport on his private island, he takes a minute to respect their sacrifice. And if the first shot doesn’t kill them, he makes sure to shoot them in the head so they don’t suffer.

I’m great at cooking, I just refuse to cook meat. It’s gross.

I’ve never cooked lamb, I only ate it as a kid. And the last time I spent My money on dead chordate, I was recovering from invasive surgery.

I agree with Tiktok, lamb is disgusting. It’s tough and chewy and slimy and made of dead baby

She just went to bed, so I’ll have to tell Her when Her timezone hits morning. In the meantime, if you want to learn about piefed you can check out https://piefed.social/ or https://multiverse.soulism.net/ and decide if you like the features better.

Personally, I’ve met the lead devs of both Lemmy and Piefed, and consider the lead dev of Piefed to be a much more pleasant and hardworking person, which explains why Piefed has so many more features. The Lemmy dev team spend most of their time arguing why Stalin’s homophobia wasn’t so bad, which explains why they don’t put out many feature updates.
