I’ve been meaning to build a personal selfhostable version of this. I’ll vibecode it as simple webapp someday and OSS it, should be easy enough.

I see the merit in this project as well but no way in hell i share this data with a third party

Ublock origin is a Firefox extension that works on mobile. You don't need a dedicated app for blocking adverts.
pousada · 10 days ago
Not on iOS, there Firefox is actually Safari under the hood and you can’t use extensions… Haven’t found a good solution yet (other than avoiding websites with ads)

I don’t use ad block.

I find that when it messes with the layout or formatting of a website it’s really annoying, and I consider the volume and type of ads an important signal for a website’s trustworthiness.

Oh and plenty of devices don’t have easy access to ad block, like my work computer.

I use reader mode 90% of the time, I’m really not interested in fancy layout or formatting for a website. I just want the text readable and looking exactly the same way for every website. Designers probably hate users like me.

A lot of seemingly casual interactions in the US turn out to be someone trying to sell something. When that happens a 3rd time, you start to ignore random chatter from someone that seems too friendly. The salesperson tactics abuse common social conversation rules, and one ends up feeling like they are being forced to be mean and rude to an idiot. So, to avoid that, we push away chatty strangers in the United States.

It’s funny, my experience is the exact opposite.

Having grown up in Germany i was surprised how many people in the US would strike up a conversation randomly in the street with me - I thought it’s a normal thing and never really experienced it in Germany - there I would always be suspicious that people try to scam me or get money or something.

I do agree with GP that in Latin America it’s super common and normal to chat with everyone.

But there are many levels to this - it’s for example less common in Nordic countries at least in my experience but you can speak to people in every place on earth, it’s something universal.

>fake OF models

Soon many real OF models will be out of job when everyone will be able to produce content to their personal taste from a few prompts.

pousada · 15 days ago
You can’t really because these powerful models are censored. You can create lewd pictures with open models but they aren’t nearly as good or easy to use.

This has nothing to do with Lemmy, but more with any social media that is just open to the general public. Ask the moderator teams of Facebook, what they encounter day to day. Many of these poor folks work in shitty job conditions and burn out leaving with PTSD.

If you spin up a fediverse app like Lemmy, you spin up a platform. It is platform software. And you get the responsibility, but also the opportunity, to set that up well. Curate the content in your instance. Lemmy and any other fediverse apps comes with a set of moderation tools that allow you to handle this, and there is a strong focus in the developer community to improve them on a continual basis.

> Curate the content in your instance

How do i do that without getting PTSD as well? Or is there some magic method that works without me looking at CSAM and gore constantly?

Has anyone done research on the topic of trying to block these bots by claiming to host illegal material or talking about certain topics? I mean having a few entries in your robots like "/kill-president", "/illegal-music-downloads", "/casino-lucky-tiger-777" etc.

Crypto bro’s needed something to do with their GPU’s after the crypto craze died.

Wonder what’s next when the AI craze dies.
