@thomasfuchs sites like reddit that aggressively promote human-generated and human-curated content will keep getting more valuable. There seems to be a ML/AI race to the bottom that is a bit confusing.

@brentm @thomasfuchs I would hope so, but I'd want to make sure services like lemmy get support so when reddit goes off the deep end there will be something else.

@gnu2 I'll have to try out lemmy. It wasn't on my radar. I hope open networks win. Reddit is both wonderful and terrible. The problem with social stuff is that the more popular a service gets the more incentive there is to poison it with attention-seeking nonsense. I feel like Reddit is on the edge of a wave of monetization that might ruin any value.

@brentm https://lemmy.ml is the largest one ; if you want one that has fewer other instances blocked, and is blocked by fewer, I'd recommend https://links.hackliberty.org/ feel free to follow me from anywhere on the fediverse https://lemmy.ca/u/n7gifmdn
@brentm lemmy isn't for everyone though. A lot of people I know left reddit because of increases in censorship over the last few years. Lemmy actually has censorship built into their code (like hardcoded list of words that can't be posted that is ever increasing in size) there was a fork (deny?) that attempted to keep that out, but the dev working on it highly recommend forking his code and maintaining yourself, rather than counting on him.
