Yes, and with reddit having a baseline corporate & bot astroturfing rate of ~25% that’s not exactly a good bar to measure by.

I… That’s not how this works. Or at least that’s not the context I’m referring to.

I can make an account (or 1000, Lemmy doesn’t exactly have controls to stop me) and run it as a bot, and NOT mark it as a bot. And use it to automatically manipulate the tone of conversations and threads without anyone knowing. And the premise of your argument is now void.

Labeling of bots is done via goodwill.

We’re not worried about goodwill users in this context. We’re talking about astroturfing bots posing as actual users. That said, labeled bots are still a problem if their content out grows organic user content, since that just isolates us, and erodes our community in favor of w/e interesting content bots scaped up today.

Which is a massive problem on almost every social media platform already. And will come to Lemmy soon enough.

This seems like classic corporate backtracking when their customers spot a terrible, deliberate decision.

I didn’t think that’s the case here

However, would you rather that the feedback of users NOT change behavior? I’m not entirely sure what your end game is here, you WANT corporations to ignore and not take action on feedback?

How can they block this for everyone?

No, now they taste that sad slightly burnt air with a tablespoon of salt.

Unfortunately the bot problem is coming to Lemmy.

Bots posting content is already a thing here, and then taking up front page space is already a thing.

Lemmy is speed running “How to lose your sense of community”.

Seriously. We don’t need bot bullshit on Lemmy.

This is the start of the slide for Reddit is just going to be worse here because there are fewer controls to actually detect and do something about bots.

This… This is the shit tower.

It’s made up of fools who follow fools, and soon to be fools who follow AI ran by people with an agenda.

Gotcha so you actually stated your previous question in bad faith as you had no interest in the answer to begin with.

Recurring!

Give it time and the mega corps will do it for you.

PR nightmares will keep significant exploit fixes coming. Microsoft isn’t that stupid.

Cities for example have their own microclimate partially because of the change in albedo.

You’re literally talking about something that is well known well documented and well understood and has been for decades.

If you change the albedo of a surface that surface changes it’s absorption of solar radiation. That surface will be warmer or cooler in the Sun. As a fundamental concept (ignoring more exotic materials and concepts). This means that that surface contributes or detracts from the climate in various ways.

I don’t know what’s so difficult about this :/

If you cover the entire country of Australia with black tiles do you really expect that there would be absolutely no change or difference than if you cover the entire country of Australia with white tiles?

They are 55th on the list for obesity rates.

It’s a worldwide epidemic unfortunately.

For reference:

• U.S. is 10th with 41%
• Australia is 36th with 32%

I live in a country with a propensity for dark cement tiles, i really doubt panels are causing an uptick in heat

Of course they are (having an effect) why wouldn’t they?

Any change in albedo modifies how much radiation is absorbed and emitted and the wavelengths it’s emitted at.

Sure one tile doesn’t do much but it does do something by a measurable degree. Even if tiny, it’s still quantifiable.

This is exactly why we need ranked choice voting.

Winner takes all essentially demoralizes and alienates voters and drives people who agree with each other to fight because they’re trapped in a broken system.

So instead of fighting the system, it’s easier to just blame other people and alienate more of them against your cause, shooting yourself in the foot with ignorance. It’s kind of disgusting.

Lol, you are on the Projection part of GOP I see.

Yep, and even worse. Lemmy has absolutely NO controls for quality and minimal moderation tools or capabilities. It’s in a much worse position than Reddit.

If it’s not already happening (And I think it is), it will.

They have the concept of a antitrust breakup.

“I refuse to accept progress if it’s not perfect progress”

Is what you’re effectively stating here.

Cmon, really? I have this argument with my toddler when he asks for something like a rip off a loaf of bread. He wants the whole loaf, he can’t have the whole load, so he gets a choice: The piece you can have, or nothing.

So. Would you rather have this progress, or nothing? That’s your choice, and right now it sounds a whole lot like you would rather have no progress?
