Not just Reddit bots… “There is a discussion on [Reddit, Hacker News, etc…] but feel free to comment here as well.” (⁠╯⁠°⁠□⁠°⁠）⁠╯⁠︵⁠ ⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

The amount of details in this painting is astonishing 🧐😍

Reading those comments drops your IQ by 5 points. Now calculate the economic impact that will have… You can’t because reading this comment drops your IQ by another 5 points :(

It’s not over until it’s over. And it’s not over yet.

What an insightful comment.

No, but I think he means that people hold back opposing ideas because of fear of hurting others. Then there are other group dynamics involved which suppress people expressing them selfies. I would have thought this wold be less of a problem in online meetings

Zoom has had a whiteboard since multiple years… But yeah, issuing tablets would make that feature more productive.

• Your body produces heat.
• Generation and removal of heat must be balanced to keep the body temperature equal.
• Heat transfer is enabed by conduction, convection and radiation.
• If the body temperature equals outside temperature, convection and radiative cooling is reduced
• your body temperature rises till equilibrium is achieved

All valid points. But regarding the measurements, neither LTT or GN testing methodology are realy scientific. Those are youtubers with limited understanding of experimental design and analysis. I have never seen them do simple significance tests or try to explain the variability in the data. But I havent watched all the videos so 乁⁠(⁠ ⁠•⁠_⁠•⁠ ⁠)⁠ㄏ

My feeling exactly. Smaller communities nurture much more healthier engagement than bigger ones

I feel like it will get even more interesting … (⁠ꏿ⁠﹏⁠ꏿ⁠;⁠)

What about other tech companies like Microsoft or Google? Do they comply?

Is this not similar to the introduction of calculators in schools? We don’t need to use our brains anymore to do the “mechanical calculation”. Instead we can offload this task to the machine and use our brain for other tasks.

Basically an Adblocker for your brain… nice!

What does this mean for admins regarding GDPR? Is lemmy still not GDPR complient? Are there options in place if users request their data?

An issue has already been raised: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1347

Are there plans to display the actual numer or is it just not possible becaus of the underlying protocol?

Yes, that would be the best. But as we have seen, users are drawn to the instances with the most users :/

Lets see what the future brings. As long as the user count is low there isn’t much of a problem, but if instances suddenly have millions of users, it will get expensive for admins to run the service. If too few people donate (what is usually the case), admins are forced to search for other ways to finance the infrastructure. The other point is AI, wheter you like it or not, if Lemmy is big enough, the content (conversations etc.) will be used to train LLMs. Also, the content will certainly be interesting for advertisers to learn user preferences. The difficulty comes with scale.
