That’s a really important distinction, thanks for clarifying

You can always block those instances for yourself in your settings

Edit: Sorry, sounds like your instance doesn’t have that yet but is getting an upgrade soon that will enable that feature

Of course! Yeah, this post was intended to be less of a proposal and more of a brainstorm session. Maybe licenses aren’t the way to go about this, or we create our own licenses to be compatible with ActivityPub and match Lemmy’s values? Maybe it doesn’t matter how our content is used, or there’s nothing we can do?

You might be right, I definitely see your point. ActivityPub adds a whole new layer to this too. In the end though, isn’t the content we post no different than anything else published on the Internet? I guess it’s important to note that technically nothing public can be 100% prevented from being used in unwanted ways. However, there might be other ways (legally, socially, etc.) we could discourage it.

Regardless, I’d love to get a better sense of how much this matters to us here on Lemmy—or if it should even matter in the first place

I think you can see total donations at the bottom of join-lemmy.org

Yeah, that’s annoyed me too. This is being discussed and will likely be added sooner rather than later

!lemmynade@lemm.ee has this

I’ve been annoyed by this too. Here’s the issue on GitHub for discussion, I doubt anyone will have any objections but it still might be a little while until it’s implemented

These are some really good thoughts and topics to discuss at this stage in the Fediverse. We must be looking big-picture right now as we move forward. Thanks for pushing the envelope!

What has been the most rewarding part of working on Lemmy for you guys?

As developers, what can we do (or not do) to best support Lemmy’s vision and goals right now?

I found this on the web for, “no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no”

We can’t force people to join, but we can emphasize the negatives of Reddit and the ways Lemmy solves those. Things like:

• Lemmy does not collect personal data and share it with third parties like Reddit does
• Lemmy does not violate your privacy with tracking or ads like Reddit does
• Lemmy’s code and algorithms can be viewed and reviewed by anyone at any time as-is, unlike Reddit
• Lemmy is 100% self-funded and moderated by its own users across the world. Reddit and your data is governed by a single money-driven corporation with controversial leadership

People that value those things are the ones that will consider moving over. You might say that you’ve read over Reddit’s terms and conditions, and then present the Lemmy community as a private and safe alternative if anyone wishes to join?

Happy new year! Here’s some pizza for the party

Talking to a text-to-image model is kinda like meeting someone from a different generation and culture that only half knows your language. You have to spend time with them to be able to communicate with them better and understand the “generational and cultural differences” so to speak.

Try checking out PromptHero or Civit.ai to see what prompts people are using to generate certain things.

Also, most text-to-image models are not made to be conversational and will work better if your prompts are similar to what you’d type in when searching for a photo on Google Images. For example, instead of a command like “Generate a photo for me of a…”, do “Disposable camera portrait photo, from the side, backlight…”

One solution to this would be having humans in the board room instead of parasites. Not sure who’s idea that was

Real fix is in the comments

I see a photo:

Congrats, and thanks for all the hard work! 🍻

!lemmynade@lemm.ee is another one I’m working on that might fit what you’re looking for, it’s currently a mobile web app and the desktop layout will be out soon
