The whole point of federation is a variety of moderation styles so it doesn't really make sense to federate in comments from other communities because it would take away any identity that exists

I noticed on the redditalternatives subreddit whenever someone mentions Lemmy and someone else is like "I didnt like it because of XYZ" someone else will often say "you should look into Piefed its much better"

Which is funny to me but at least it's working!

It also pales in comparison to the carbon cost of printing out the poster and lighting it.

It worries me that there are scientists out there who are making studies based on the assumption that an LLM chat bot is a reasonable stand-in for a human in this context (in any context really but that's another conversation). It's just not what LLMs are, it's not what they are designed to do. They've fallen for the marketing.

We address this question using a novel method - generative social simulation - that embeds Large Language Models within Agent-Based Models to create socially rich synthetic platforms. We create a minimal platform where agents can post, repost, and follow others. We find that the resulting following-networks reproduce three well-documented dysfunctions: (1) partisan echo chambers; (2) concentrated influence among a small elite; and (3) the amplification of polarized voices - creating a 'social media prism' that distorts political discourse.

  1. lmao "generative AI chatbots trained on social media behave like social media users"
  2. Shame on ArsTechnica they should be better than to publish a study like this.
