I don’t think you can rely on volunteer labor and donations to keep things running indefinitely.

Doesn't that imply that it will not work on the long term?
Or you think groups of volunteer will form up and maintain an instance for a while and then go down, and another group will pick up?
I'm afraid we may run out of people able to do that after they all get burned out like ee's.

What about when you know how to do it, and you will be happy to have it done, but you know it's going to be annoying, and you're going to hate it, so you push it back as much as you can.

I'm in Japan, so niche Mediterranean products are not easy to find.

Very nice, I'll give it a try if I can find the semolina flour.

So why is the "wall" not working anymore? Do we have a scientific explanation?

I mean that it will empower them to generate a lot more crazy stuff. They can write more text, create more websites, maybe apps, maybe companies, maybe political movements, to support their crazy theories.

Admins more precisely.

The key reason is that we just don’t have enough people on the admin team to keep the place running. Most of the admin team has stepped down, mostly due to burnout, and finding replacements hasn’t worked out.

The sad reality is that while there are a lot of great people on Lemmy, there are also some who use the platform to attack others, stir up conflict, or actively try to undermine the project. Admins are volunteers who deal with the latter group on a constant basis, this takes a mental toll. Please understand why our admins chose to step down, and be kind to the admins on whatever instance you decide to join.

We know this sucks. We’re genuinely sorry it’s ending like this. Thank you to everyone who spent time here and helped make it better.

If we already got Trump without the LLMs, I can't imagine the kind of psycho crazy shit we're going to get in the future fueled by LLMs. Hold onto your butts.

Yeah, the debates seems to be mostly people questioning if it is war crimes or genocide, different experts and different organizations have different conclusions, although it seems more conclusions are shifting towards genocide.

I would eat well cooked insects even if mammal meat is not banned. Even more so if the environmental benefit is demonstrated. I bet you can do some falafel style paddies from insect flour and some spices, fried in olive oil and you probably don't notice where it comes from anymore.
