Nobody knows it's true power

Oh heh sorry this is what I get for being on Lemmy stoned AF past my bedtime 😅

I've thought about it, but it's too unreliable, too expensive in the amount of money I'd want to spend on this on API credits and similarly for the capacity I have locally I have far more important local AI work to do atm, and even if I didn't still to unreliable lmao

All my crossposts and posts are artisan human-hands-made

I have to be actually rather selective read all of it because I have to filter out all the propaganda/misinformation posts as well as to determine proper comm fit

Sorry about the reply delay, this instance has been...weird on the federation for comments and voting

It's caused by my .ml crossposting activities coupled with posting my natural content that I personally enjoy. Like pretty much anything by me in the !retrocomputing@lemmy.sdf.org comm or the localllama comm

But I also noticed the unique affect it has, in both what I post and the content I digest lol Which honestly fits my personality than most would guess. I'll do other things to break the norms of everyday life, like sometimes when ordering food I ask the order taker to just give me whatever their fav is lmao

Unfortunately, I do also have to be careful, there's one user in particular who tends to post some concerning memes (as in depressing) from time to time and have to skip quite a few sometimes otherwise I'll start getting messages from people asking me if I'm ok lol 😅

Hell yeah!

From a different reply:

• Shopping for a new home instance
• Exploring the Threadiverse from different perspectives (the "hot" feed you see can vary quite a bit depending on the instance you're on lol)
• Learning that the bot intended to better interconnect instance comms may not be doing as good of a job
• Interconnecting wayward or much smaller instances, a couple of them are missing even the big comms, one I was on the other day I needed to manual have it federate with every comm I posted to
• For the creation of comms on fitting instances or just among a regular rotation of general instances so I'm not making a whole bunch on any one instance
• Prevention of a reoccurrence of my imposter problem

::: spoiler Trolling .ml (or Why am I cross-posting .ml content?

I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.

Megathread on the issue

Some highlights from the link:

"Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

"See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

"NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

"If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team. :::)

It's better than credit cards IMO, you have a firm set amount of payments and amounts you need to make on a fim schedule (every 2 weeks) with no interest.

Properly managed, it's a decent way to make big purchases without straining your savings to do it. E.g. you want to make a 600$ purchase and have the money saved for it, but why spend it all when you have a 0 interest way to split that up over time in line with your paychecks? Then you can keep that savings for something truly unexpected

Ofc it's still debt short term or not, so if you're horrible at managing debt it's as bad as any other debt like Credit Cards

Lol just register for an LLC then sign up for like stripe or something so you can take card then BOOM done. Although you'd be losing a little money each time because transaction fees lol

Because I'm a dumbass and selected the wrong comm lmao
