@apps Have you considered @accrescent? (when it reaches stable)

Why is there so much cruelty in the world, especially online?

I just want everyone to respect each other. Is that really so hard?

And I mean *everyone*.

@prettygood
What is it?

@prettygood
Shit, I missed it. Happy belated sysadmin day, @dcid!

@prettygood
I don't know why everyone is suddenly pro copyright now that AI exists. It completely baffles me.

@prettygood
So, the code you write is more likely to have bugs?

If I use genAI to write, say, a Freenet dapp for a trustless democratic forum, how would I find the bugs due to hallucinations if I don't know how to code?
I could get someone else to help me. Would you be interested? How much would you want for it, if anything? I don't have any XMR or other cryptocurrency, so we would have to dox ourselves to each other if so.

@prettygood Or pay someone to do it. Or pay someone to both write the software for me and teach me how they are doing it at the same time. I think that might be a good idea. What do you think?

@prettygood I worry about this too. I want to make software but either I know how to recognise hallucinations and therefore probably don't need AI, or I don't and therefore will probably end up producing slop if I use it. So I think I'll learn to code the old-fashioned way instead.

@prettygood Who are the oppressors?

@tek @lnxw37a2 But it's not just an expression of an opinion when it comes to online discussion servers. it's a _decision_ that you are making for all of your users.
This is why @p created Revolver (if it's even in a finished state now). And why apps like Freebird exist (https://github.com/skandragon/freenet-freebird)

@p @tek But sometimes illocutionary acts are okay. If it's your house, you have the right to tell people you don't like to get out of it. Likewise if you host a private club or whatever.

@tek @root @p

I forgot about this bit. I meant to cite the section on "illocutionary acts".

@tek
I like it too. I used to be very much into free speech and so I ended up on the more free speech side of fedi, then I realised I hated it and joined an instance a friend recommended on "light fedi", hence my name.

I still am into free speech, but I'm also into freedom of association. Hence my agreement with you.
@root

@tek @root
I agree. But I don't think “you’re a jackass and go away.” is speech in this case. It's action. The moderator caused something to happen; they didn't just express themself.
Relevent: https://blog.freespeechextremist.com/blog/what-is-freedom-of-speech.html (h/t @p)

It is imperative that we all have the free time to examine our environment, our society, and our lives and to judge whether they serve ourselves and our community or whether they serve masters.

@silverpill Why not? Node operators don't do moderation. That uses contracts.

@silverpill The new Freenet is not friend-to-friend

@silverpill Maybe it could be rewritten without AI? It's too neat an idea to go to waste IMO.

@silverpill Admins control ActivityPub nodes whereas everyone runs their own Freenet node.

It works pretty smoothly so far, despite(?) the AI help.
