Anony Moose

Also on Reddit being a poweruser meant that you could probably sell/loan your account to shady advertisers, which isn’t as much of a problem here since the Fediverse isn’t monetized by ads.

Additionally, I think power users are a problem if they’re just blindly spamming posts without engaging with the community, not so much if they’re just organically filling the void with posts.

I <3 lemmy’s prolific posters. o7

Thank heavens for your unhealthy posting habits, we need to clone you Stamets

Also, Google is a (the?) major source of funding for Mozilla, so they have a lot of clout with them.

I thought this joke was hilarious 😂

This is interesting, and I’ve never heard about this before. That’s really disappointing, but from a game-theoretic sense it makes sense it played out like that. If Trudeau did in fact opted for a popular vote instead of using his majority power, I can respect that, even if it blew up in all our faces.

Like everything these days, I realize it’s too difficult for me to understand and keep up with the complexities of modern life 😩

I thought the cons wanted to abolish the CBC?

Going back on representational voting is what made me decide never to vote for the Liberals while Trudeau was in power again. I’m still pissed about that.

Interesting that he chose to randomly name drop Tutanota as a compromised encrypted service provider.

Clicking on a post in the post feed makes it show up overlayed on top of the feed similar to alexandrite’s system instead of sending you to a new page. (hitting the name of the post when in this preview state will send you to the actual page)

This is by far my favorite Alexandrite feature, and the main reason I use it over the alternatives. Thanks for including it!

Reminds me of Far Cry: Blood Dragon, although I haven’t played it

I asked chatGPT 4 with the Dall-E 3 plugin to illustrate my username (“anonymoose”), I didn’t give it any other instructions.

These are the prompts it created, you should be able to get similar results on Bing Image Creator:

1. Illustration of a cartoon moose with a mischievous grin, wearing sunglasses and a hat that says ‘Anon’. The moose is striking a relaxed pose, leaning against a tree with one hoof, in a forest setting.
2. Illustration of a moose in detective attire, complete with a trench coat, fedora, and magnifying glass. The badge on its coat reads ‘Anonymoose’. It’s inspecting a footprint with a puzzled expression in a woodland setting.

By the power of his mind!

It’s curious that Anonymoose has a four-toed human footprint and seems to have stepped in a big pile of poo 💩 🤔🔍

Agreed! Although it looks more like “Detectivemoose” than “Anonymoose” to me.

Great idea! Here’s mine:

I like that only the girl in the foreground has too many fingers

Agreed. I think it dilutes user engagement, because people will leave comments on these bot threads, never to be seen by anybody else.

I went ahead and blocked it and spend time on HN along with Lemmy instead. HN discussions on those posts are always so much livelier than those sad, but interesting copycat posts.

Awesome, thanks for the tip!

How did you get access to Dall-E 3?
