They take what we make, be it art or Text without our or anyones consent, to me thats stealing something. And yes, there are AI Tools fully build on public Domain and open source things, but those are at the moment, few and far between.

Nope, nothing. There doesn't honestly seem to be anything I'd use it for, even then I wouldn't wanna support it as long as it uses Data its gotten by basically stealing. Maybe once that has gotten better I'll look more into it, but at the current moment I just don't have the heart to support it

Left reddit ages ago when boost was taken away.

I've been japping about this forever now. I honestly think this is Lemmys biggest Hurdle at the current moment

Im aware that its likely more of an app issue, but Universal GIF and Video Standartification is a must at this point. There is literally nothing more annoying than that and I genuinely see it as Lemmys current biggest hurdle. We can't be a proper site or competition to other simular sites if something like GIFs and Videos basically never work properly.

If there is one thing thats comically inconsistent and in desperate need of work done to it, it be GIFs and Videos. It seems with everything uploaded you get a different result. We really need some standartification when it comes to it

As a mod for that community I can assure you thats not even the main reason. Thing simply is it doesn't fit with lemmy.world. ani.social is the place where a community like this not only fits but also would do a lot better in the long term. It would also help with debloating lemmy.world as its already way too big for its own good. Couple all that with not spamming local, moving to ani.social has been long overdo

You could probably just block ani.social and that be it. Im already in talks with the owner of touchfluffytail to move it there for that very reason actually

Oh I see, thats great to hear!

Honestly the language selection in general is just a bad idea/baddly executed. Until people told me that those where the reason 4/5s of posts and comments never showed up, I didnt know that these settings existed

I then just marked all of them which took ages and ever since my experience has been so much better. If they really wanna have this feature, then all languages should be selected from the getgo. If someone wants a language gone they should opt out istead of opting into everything else first.

If lemmy hides most of its content for someone new who doesn't know about those settings, then people are less incline to stay on lemmy. So overall it seems badly executed. I hope its something they improve especially for new users going forward

I've used Boost since launch and never once seen something like that happen
