  • Of course, but that has nothing to do with your text. Nothing in it was “complex”, or “information” (in the sense of being useful); it was just corporate mumbo jumbo, which I just happened to verify using the tool.

    Just so you learn some nuance: there are degrees of magnitude in all aspects ranging from expenditure, availability or soundness, between something like using a scanner and OCR to recover information from a damaged book, and “using AI”.






  • Rimu basically went nuts and made a List, like The List from the Tesseract guy. Except this one was baked at the code level of the software running the backend of the communities, so communities got forced to ban left-wing aligned content on update without a choice in the matter. Plus, the software had CCP-style shadow profiling of people to hide their posts, and in at least one known case editorializing someone’s posts on client view, without the poster being made aware that their content was being editorialized (essentially, attributing them false speech).










  • Honestly this would be the expected effect if one understand what Reddit even is in the first place: an aggregator.

    The “correct” (or “more correct”) thing to do would be to mirror reddit’s links to the author’s/creator’s webpage / service in the post, so that the people who can respond to the creator can, and the people who want to just talk about the thing linked, also can.

    And, given that Reddit now restricts visiting without being logged in, the only “practical” way to even get some of the links there is for someone else to mirror them into the Fediverse anyway.
