Just more evidence to push towards "they are targeting places as fringe as lemmy now" conclusion in our previous conversation.
I read a report on how a lot of tiny fora, and other sites with comment functions, were getting barraged with russian bot traffic. They use web scrapers to pick up on sites that have comment functions, of any kind, and that tells the bot network to start automated posting there. Often it is so strong they effectively DDOS a lot of these personally run places. However, this account doesn't feel like that. This leads me to believe one of the possibilities I previously suggested. It is a mod, it is someone with mental illness that, for whatever reason, was having a moment of clarity that one time, or even lemmy is being targeted. If it is targeted, that makes me think that russian prop-pushing organizations have so thoroughly saturated the internet, they now have to seek fringe spaces online, in order to keep quotas, or something like that, up.
Yeah that is strange, in a suspicious way. Is it the prop-pushing account of a mod? Is there some sort of actual move to infiltrate things as small as lemmy? Did they take their meds that day?
It isn't though. The mod tools for lemmy are super primitive compared to the moderation tool suites that exist for reddit. These subs live because they have these in-depth mod tools. Tight, on point, moderation is key to keeping these places one topic, and of quality. Also, we don't have the user base. While I guarantee there are a decent amount of subject experts on lemmy, I have seen them myself, you need enough to be posting/dealing with posts multiple times a day, in any given subject. So, not only do you have to have a body of expertise large enough to cover the topics, and rate of posts, you have to keep in mind these people also have to want to do this. Most people like that don't want to add that amount of extra work, and stress, to their lives.
Seems for the tests they mixed a number of known cancerous images, from biopsied tissue, and mixed a bunch of imaged tissues, known to be cancer free. They then randomized the images and processed them with this AI, and it was able to find cancerous vs non-cancerous tissue, at a rate significantly higher than doctors.
They are also seeing a lot of success in using similarly purposed AI for finding pathology presented in a wide variety of images, including MRI, CT, X-ray, etc.
Unfortunately I stopped going to reddit for sports info before I left. I just kept running into increasingly toxic people, over what is such a low stakes subject. It wasn't just reddit, I also gave up on televised sports because watching sports feels like I am watching ads that are occasionally broken up by bumps of sports. Even friends who are WAY more into sports have pretty much given up on watching them. Also, the way that sports is handled across streaming platforms I find enraging.
I think it is less that, and more that establishing a large enough body of experts requires a very large audience to pull from, and on top of that it took years, and lots of work, to get them established, and working correctly, so it will be very difficult to move.
You should be able to express your anti-imperialist sentiment as well. If someone asks about an alternative, and you suggest something other than world, and tell them it is better because they aren't loaded with closeted nazis, you should be able to. It is a very low level comment in regards to how rude/disruptive it is. I could understand if they were going all over the place just doing that. That is not what is happening.
If you are that sensitive you should lock your place, and add people via invite, as you see them posting things you like. You should then have your rules expressed about this stuff. If you have an open door system, you should be able to tolerate critical comments that are middling rude.
By your system of etiquette, you should be not arguing this, as you are on a space specifically to discuss over authoritarian mods in places like .ml, etc. in a snarky, sarcastic, satirizing, etc. way. This is not the place to defend the behavior. However you are good to criticize the opinions/posts here, as long as you don't do something stupid like make threat. That is how it should be.
Quit putting words into other people's mouths. The post is right there, they did not say that. They said you could go to another instance that doesn't have the baggage of tankie authoritarianism. If you can't accept middling criticism, make your shit private, get off publicly accessed media.
And for that they banned OP, just proving his statement correct.
No dissent on the grad!
Unsurprising, but a blatant example of them not allowing criticism. I mean, people expect it from them, but it is something to link to when one claims they don't do this.
I did choose this over reddit. I just wish there was something like that that wasn't reddit. Maybe some day.
It is, or at least i used to be, common practice to give strong stimulant drugs to pilots to keep them up for very long flight orders.
Yeah, they would need to be able to turn you back into your kid self, experiences and all. A lot of that magic is from you being a child.
The only thing I miss about reddit are the large, academic subject specific subs, that tightly moderate their subs to make sure that as many of the posts/answers are from accredited people, or that the post seems to check out when they look the subject up. r/askhistorians for example.
I mean, the reason the US is having such a huge issue with eggs is because they basically put all their eggs in one basket. What I mean by this, is the reason bird flu affects the US much more than Canada, and Europe, is that they limit egg producing facilities to around 10k-30k hens, after that the industrial farm needs to build another, separated, facility for the hens beyond their regulated number. US industrial farms often have over 1mm in a single, massive, structure. This means that not only are they more vulnerable to getting it at all, but it facilitates rapid spreading. China, and other places, also have similar issues with bird flu, as the US, due to similar production practices.
This is likely untrue, Canada exports twice as much refined crude as it imports. Most of their domestic fuel use is drilled, and refined, in Canada, and they have been importing less as time goes on.
Exactly, mega wealthy people exist because of wealth hoarding
Nobody has a good view of insurance. Views on Elon, and his companies, are far more mixed. So it isn't impossible. Even today there are a LOT of morons who basically see him as the messiah.
The west managed a massive decline in population growth without such draconian policies, and the west was popping out 6-10 babies on the regular till very recently. Also, the reason people were starving, and struggled to find work, wasn't because the proletariat was doing something wrong, it was because the elites horribly mismanaged the country's agriculture, despite the prols, who are supposed to be the dictators, telling the elite exactly why they didn't do things that way, and that this would destroy their crops. They couldn't keep up with the pace of jobs requirements because they forced a broad move to urbanized industrialization, then poorly planned that transition, and it took over 20 years to course correct, because they refused admit they didn't know what they were doing. A broad re-planning of this only came after Mao died, which lead to the arrest of the "Gang of Four", and a following liberalization of access to information, allowance of academic freedoms, and restructuring of schemes to move workers to an industrial economy.
