believe in free speech, no moderation of content

yeah good luck with that.

No, all local communities are set to Forever.

I’ve been meaning to show the retention policy in the UI for ages, might do it today.

I appreciate the care you’re showing here.

If you upload something with a width or height greater than 2000 pixels it will get resized to be within that limit. That stops the most egregious wastage.

It depends on the content, a bit:

Quality stuff like https://piefed.social/c/artporn will be kept online ‘forever’ but I’ve set things up so that quite a lot of communities automatically delete posts after 6 - 12 months. Spam as many memes as you want I don’t care they’re going away after a while anyway.

Yes that would be a better way to do it :)

If you look at https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list and sort by ‘active users’ you’ll see that there are really only a few instances that you need to worry about (not the second-biggest, lemm.ee as it’s closing soon). The vast bulk of users are concentrated in a handful of places.

If you go to the top 3 or 4 instances, to their search page and search for https://piefed.social/c/action_movies then look for a bit of text below any search results, saying something like “Action Movies@piefed.social - 0 subscribers”. That’s a link to the community. Click on it and then you’ll see the view of the community from the perspective of that instance. Join it using your alt on that instance.

If it says something other than “0 subscribers”, then someone else has already subscribed and you don’t need to. Seems like lemmy.world is already done, for example.

But just doing a post in !newcommunities@lemmy.world is way easier, people will do your work for you then.

Any scanner recommendations?

Yes, quite a few changes. There used to be a whole lot of things that influenced reputation which are now optional and the instance admin needs to opt into them.

Wasn’t that because of age verification though?

They’ll use any phrase they can except “concentration camp”.

Yep sure, why not :)

Yeah just doing it at the community level might be simplest.

Hard to say, it’s not really my main area of expertise. I just code stuff.

Seems like as things scale the problems moderation gets exponentially harder . If the fediverse stays the same size or shrinks, we’ll be fine with the tools we have now.

It would be nice if we could build the beginnings of stronger capabilities now, though. Then if an explosion of growth happens we’ll cope a little better. FediThreat and FIRES are interesting.

Other social networks are far more overrun with AI.

Facebook recently has a requirement to flag all AI content. https://about.fb.com/news/2024/04/metas-approach-to-labeling-ai-generated-content-and-manipulated-media/

Sometimes Lemmy users do not assign a language to their post or they assign the wrong language.

In the end I would hope that AI content creators benefit too, by having an audience that is seeking that kind of content or is at least ambivalent about the medium of the message. Also there would be less negative reactions because people who really want to avoid it would not see it anyway.

Wow that took a unexpected turn. Removed my upvote after reading.

This would primarily be used for images.

IMO translation with AI is not worth putting a special filter on.

Also if someone with dyslexia or some other neuro-spicy condition needs a little help with grammar, that’s fine.

There is a spectrum of AI use, which is why I proposed using a number for the value rather than a binary “Is AI” is “is not AI”.

At one end of the spectrum could be an image made from a text prompt which would be considered 100% AI.

A photograph edited in Photoshop with the AI tool that replaces the background with a sunset could be flagged as 50% AI.

Maybe something I write and then ask ChatGPT to fix up the grammar and weird personal idiosyncrasies could be 20% AI.

Something like that.

Theoretically eventually some PieFed-based communities would penalize you for not using it, just as we penalize those who post NSFW content without flagging it - depending on the rules of the community / instance.

This wouldn’t happen overnight - at first there will be so many people still using Lemmy, etc which does not have this feature, so 99% of posts won’t have any Gen AI flag and enforcing such a rule would instantly tank any community. At first.

But even so it will be yet another reason to switch to PieFed, which I am all in favor of.

“Not ai” would be the default, you wouldn’t need to do anything. Just like “not NSFW” is the default.
