I was having a conversation with my friend about this. We were discussing AI and she believes AI will destroy all of humanity just like so many others. I personally don’t believe that. I’m aware of all the theories and the multitude of ways that it could happen and I understand that with AI, in theory we wouldn’t...
One possibility: It is a weird case of "this moment in time is special because I am alive".
Humans have been around for thousands of years but I am alive now. I cannot think of what the world could be like without me so therefore the human race must end in my lifetime.
This in not a new occurrence either, there have been "end of the world" groups in almost every generation in history.
It is worth noting that people always think the apocalyptic event will happen within their lifetime.
The only real difference now is that the end of the world is now caused by humans via nukes or destruction of the environment rather than supernatural forces.
Mozilla’s stable browser is not stable enough. especially the Android-based one. They are destroying that amazing browser with every single update. Mozilla converted Firefox from a great-promising browser to a crappy, useless browser. Don’t you think so?
I am an anarchist, so the idea of the community doing all the work, creating content, and then mods basically ruling over them as a reward, just doesn’t sit right with me....
Fellow Lemmings how can we create social media were the users are king/queen?
I doubt you can. Every forum I have been involved with that tried this quickly descended into a shitshow.
It is the tragedy of the commons every time.
post Scriptum: just having a voting mechanism, might be gamed by unsavory charcters or groups to game such a system, unless voting requires your clear name id, which comes with other issues of course.
This does little, to nothing. Even when you have to put you account id to a vote it does nothing to people who want to be disruptive and if you can create multiple accounts (which you can here...), vote bombing will happen.
I feel this problem requires cryptography of some sort and the ability to establish identity for users without de-anonymizing them. idk if that makes sense to you
Sorry, but that is laughable.
You want people to be both responsible and anonymous at the same time.
Yes it does and it always has. There has always been social group control in the public square
I also see no reason why there couldn’t be a way for the community itself to deal with disruptive actors through some mechanism that does not put any sole individual in power.
Cool. then create you own lemmy instance and run it the way you want.
Good luck.
one question, if the majority of the accounts on your instance vote to allow CSAM, what will you do?
While you may be an anarchist, someone (you, as the one running the instance) will be legally responsible.
What's a secret that you're keeping from your partner/significant other that you're taking to the grave with you?
It doesn’t have to be anything bad btw
What nicknames have you been given?
Shower thought … if the government is truly listening to us all 24/7, what nicknames would they give you?...
You have to work for food, kitten. (lemmings.world)
Why are we as humans obsessed with mass-extinction of our species?

Everybody is supporting Firefox, but no one wants to use it. Because it is destroying itself. (discuss.tchncs.de)

Fellow Lemmings, how to create Social Media that does not have mods? (lemmy.world)

Turn a plural into a singular to ruin the title of a movie, book or album
