I couldn’t get past the second level :(

And then there’s the helium supply shortage, on top of that - https://www.techspot.com/news/111683-critical-semiconductor-gas-lost-third-global-supply-drone.html

All those things are on the ‘Explore’ menu.

Without reading the article I knew it would be Terrorgram.

This will not stand. Remember, TACO.

huh, TIL. Thanks!

So it’s just 17 times more likely to burn you to death than average cars.

Cybertrucks are 17 times more likely to kill you in a fiery way than the Ford Pinto, the previous record holder.

Try your old account 🙏

Sorry - email is the channel which adds things to my todo list so when I get too busy I become avoidant about it. Just opening Thunderbird makes me a little anxious! “Ahh, yes, the app which brings more pain, here we go again”

Afaik it’s fixed now 😊

Sounds good to me!

It’s more likely that the instance hosting the community would make the most difference. Try a PieFed community if you’re interested.

I can confirm - it is slop.

In the article the chatter is a woman but it can just as easily be a man. So all those customers are sexting with men half the time, heh.

This may come as a surprise to you so brace yourself.

I am not stupid.

Maybe they’ll relaunch as a piefed instance, lol

No, but there is on PieFed.social. Mods and admins have functionality to check any post or comment for LLM-generated text. There’s more stuff too.

Generally I share my findings with Lemmy admins so they can ban the account.

I think this is a pretty big threat to the fediverse and social media in general and am taking it very seriously. At the moment the amount of slop is pretty low but we need to be ready for the deluge when it comes.

Man, I am a cranky bastard sometimes. Shouldn’t post when I’m tired.

How about - the origin server, the place where the post was originally created, gets all the metadata (og:image, og:title, etc) and includes that in the Activity that tells other instances about the post? That way there is only one request made to the link and receiving instances can use that to make their preview?

It does mean that receiving instances will need to trust the sender so there’s potential for some misrepresentation but that seems acceptable to me.
