Thanks, Lemmy folks! I have been, and intend to continue to be, intending to put up a server.
I’m sorry, in advance, for what is going to happen to all your hard work, as Reddit craters and all the oligarch bots start coming here to manipulate the populace / control the narrative.
As I’ve been saying since Usenet and Slashdot; it was good while it lasted.
The machines of the oligarchs are not neutral to the oligarchy.
The majority are not in a position to understand that.
This is as dangerous, and more imminent, than runaway AGI.
It’s worth reading some of the comments, particularly the ones by OP (EpokK1). He had time to prepare the original post and polish it a bit; the comment replies had to be quicker to beat the time decay feature/problem of threaded discussions. His in-thread replies are less polished, and speak to his character.
Good callout, thank you! A tale as old as 56k: don’t feed the trolls.
