  • I think the attitude of being virtuosos or preachy can seep in at times, especially when being part of a cause but IMO diplomacy, having conversations and opening their mind to objectivity has to be better than telling people they are wrong.

    I know this is easy to say, and esp when so many people are just so addicted to social media and the internet.

    I have had conversations with friends, family where they can have a clear conversation about how much propaganda is pushed on to them, and they then turn straight to their phone and hoover up and hour of FB. It does make you think wow sheep. But I have to remind myself we don’t get change by telling people ‘you clearly don’t know your own mind’


  • Yup this is a great example. LLM for non opinion based stuff or for stuff that’s not essential for life. It’s great for finding a recipe but if you’re gonna rely on the internet or an LLM to help you form an opinion on something that requires objective thinking then no. If I said hey internet/LLM is humour good or bad, it would insert a swayed view.

    It simply can’t be trusted. I can’t even trust it return shopping links so I have retreated back to real life. If it can’t play fair I no longer use it as a tool.


  • I have actually noticed, and was also considering asking about this. 2 observations from my point.

    1. The new users with a stream of posts comments in the last day…I think I have noticed them more as they seem to have a higher rate of profile pics. Lemmy does not seem big on profile pics so that stood out to me. I could likely be wrong.

    2. More new users littering sarky or rude comments to start argumentative behaviour. It’s not even on hot topics either, it’s more subtle posts. It’s a bit odd as Lemmy is usually pretty friendly.
