People pretending it's not useful and/or not improving all the time are living in their own worlds. I think you can argue the legality and the ethics, but any anti-ai position based on low quality output ("it can't even do hands!") has a short shelf-life.

Yes, they could limit their reach even further by only using the fediverse.

Admins had the ability to see the votes if they really wanted to anyway by looking at the database, you just made it a lot easier.

I think if you blocked the person who posted this you'd see a big reduction. It's usually the same account posting Musk news.

Yeah, I was just taking the challenge of trying to rationalize it.

Local by default, option to go remote. Even the privacy-first types might want to offload that to a more powerful local machine.

They could even sell access to a Mozilla provided AI server like they do with the VPN service.

By FAR the biggest impact on range in the winter for me is climate control.

Not very well! But things can improve, and I appreciate the gesture.

I thought Servo was basically dead since the layoffs at Mozilla in 2020, but your comment caused me to look into it and evidently funding was found to resume development on it at the beginning of last year. That's good news! (to me!)

You know, instance admins can find out who is downvoting and upvoting by checking the database. It doesn't have to be a mystery if you stand up your own instance. You don't even have to use it primarily, just get it federating your comments.

If there's a technological solution, maybe it's to allow admins to make moderatorship automatically expire, leaving the community up for grabs, under certain circumstances. The ability to exempt communities and/or users from this might be helpful.

Otherwise you just gotta ask the admins. Lemmy.ml has a community specifically for requesting dormant communities, for instance, and unless things have changed that's how it worked on Reddit.
