Is it safe to update via ansible?

Excellent article and it's of course a very serious concern regarding Meta's Project 92.

I want to use this thread to share one other concern that I've seen coming up constantly on Mastodon: overzealous instance admins that take things personally.

"You said X about me, I'll block your whole instance".

"I don't like a particular nuanced view that instance staff holds, #Fediblock now".

"Users of X instance reported me. I'll block the whole instance".

A few of these things happened in the last couple of days. We can't have instance admins defederating because of trivial petty stuff. The only thing this does is drive users to larger instances, among which there might be corporate interests.

Same experience here.

By the way, in case it helps, I read that OpenAI does not use content submitted via API for training. Please look it up to verify, but maybe that can ease the concerns of some users.

Also, have a look at these hosted models, they should be way cheaper than OpenAI. I think that this company is related to StabilityAI and the guys from StableDiffusion and also openassistant.

There is also openassistant, but they don't have an API yet. https://projects.laion.ai/Open-Assistant

Thank you so much for this. This means a lot. Especially because I've been feeling guilty for spending more time lately doing admin stuff and less posting content.

Thank you <3

I hope it does not get too expensive. You might want to have a look at locally hosted models.

Yes. That said, media uploaded by remote users is actually stored on the remote instance, not yours.

Purge deletes everything, including the fact that you've deleted them and they become searchable again. It's like a complete reset. Even the act of removing them is reset

You can purge, and then bring it up again and then remove if you want to delete any cached media or posts.

You can also remove specific remote communities, which bans them from your site instead of the entire remote instance. Make sure to use remove, not purge.

The community will not appear in the list nor be searchable.

Thank you very much <3

I'd be more inclined to reach out to Louis Rossmann, especially since he's said he won't post on reddit anymore. Maybe we can even find a home on lemmy for his right to repair campaign.

Hey there! Thank you for reaching out. I'll definitely not block your instance then. Regarding postgres, first login to the postgres container with docker exec -it containername busybox /bin/sh

You can get the container name by running docker ps. Once inside login to psql console with psql -U lemmy

I've written this from memory, but it should be very similar if not the same.

EDIT: Consider saving the usernames and details of the bots that signed up. We might be able to use that for some analysis.
