    There are models for detecting adult material, idk how well they’d work on CSAM though. Additionally, there exists a hash identification system for known images, idk if it’s available to the public, but I know apple has it.

    Idk, but we gotta figure out something



  • CPM on tech, finance, and health (a lot of what I watch) is often $5-10. And apparently google pays creators even more than that rate for premium viewers.

    Even so, direct payment is likely to be more profitable to creators than just watching ads or having premium.

    But even as a technical person, I’ve never really been interested in finding ways to block ads on my PC, MacBook, iPhone, Android (when I had one), and Roku/AppleTV. And potentially having to keep up with the apparently changing landscape of YouTube adblocker a for each. Sounds like a pain in the ass. I’d rather just pay for family premium, and easily share the benefits with my mom, sister, & wife without having to offer technical support for their ad blocking.


  • Kbin has a separate tab within a community called “microblog” I think. Any hashtags set by the community are automatically followed in the “microblog” feed and can be fully interacted with.

    This doesn’t bring threadiverse content into mastodon, but it does bring kbin users at least, into mastodon.

    And with the @ing of lemmy communities, you can post from mastodon to lemmy. There’s some work to be done, for sure, but I think we’re close to a decent solution.

    But also, 100% compatibility would be odd, wouldn’t you just switch platforms if you wanted the different functionality.

    I found a local instance, and so I get to interact with a small group of geographically relevant people. And between the natural filter of mastodon and the kind of people in the area, I’ve got a nice collection of technologically literate people to talk to. And I’ve found others to follow from boosts.

    Additionally, I follow a number of hashtags, from which I get content and potential people to follow.
