I guess the thing I'm trying to describe is browsing. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5GggiXMaqDE

word clouds will find when a corpus of hashtags is similar in meaning. If you use only hashtags, that's like experiencing a grocery store or farmers market via an ambassador who cannot see the serendipitous shops that are nearby, the things frequently seen together. It's like shopping in an app and never visiting the grocery store itself. Having a precision following list means you can't experience going to a library and browsing shelves until something catches your eye - serendipitous search is fundimentally different from subscribed/reposted delivery, or even keyword search.

computers and digital space don't natively have the metric for which hashtags are closer, so they have to crunch the numbers to help figure out which books are closer to other books. Otherwise it's like entirely separate universes that you'll never ever find, like if you never knew a word that would lead you to a community of much more words and concepts and free thought.

you underestimate how many kinky furry technologists there are on the fediverse ;)

Didn't they file a complaint with the labor board and were reinstated with back pay?

If by panic you mean AI hype, then maybe.

For example, this post is just as sensationalist.

If only restic deduplicated... But other than that it does okay.

Unfortunately that's only a kbin thing.

upvoting things on the main lemmy.ml page spins forever.

controlled by my own raspberry pi or bust. :) middle ground.

this is called "meta-moderation" and is a good idea @notbabayaga@lemmy.world :) it's part of the Santa Clara Principles of transparent moderation (https://santaclaraprinciples.org/)

Their UX sucks

Karma is useful on things like discourse or mattermost as a spam prevention feature, you gradually expose features to people who aren't being spammy. The same thing is true of a user joining a new community on the same site.
