Am I the only one who finds Colbert not funny at all? I can't believe it's not laughtrack.
I tried my best to one-up GPT-4chan in terms of toxicity. With my meager programming skills, I managed to parse comment-response pairs from Reddit's API data archive. The most toxic subreddits all there on pushshift. Then I fine-tuned the model using a rented GPU, and it cost me 7 USD total.
I made an angry feminist bot- the funny thing about it is that you won't get banned for it on most forums because its so toxic without breaking any rules and it's hard to tell that it's a bot. DM me if you want to try it out.
Yeah, it also doesn't help that in SK, men are conscripted to the military for years and enter the workforce with somewhat of a disadvantage.
"Misogyny" is half the story.
What purpose would there be in gaslighting something like this out of nowhere? Genuine question.
Most people, including myself, prefer their own version of reality. You are promoting a version of reality that I do not find tasteful at all. With conflicting realities, meaningful disagreement is impossible and the only thing I can do is question the narratives that oppose my own.
More generally, ego also plays a huge part in why people do this. Apple has a significant following that will defend its every decision. It's brand has become personal identity for a lot of people. To the extent where I've been seeing news articles over the past two years about teenagers being bullied for using Android. This also happens to be the reason why people point their finger at Apple; because Apple users are the main group with such a distinct identity.

Are comments on other instances working?
I was posting on other instances (lemmy.world) and checked their modlog to make sure I'm not banned or defederated. Know most people here probably just follow Monero news, so it's fine if it's better to for me to just make an account on a larger instance.
Anyways, it's been a while since I've seen a meta discussion. How have you all been this year, and what do you all think of the fediverse from these past six months?

The Lemmy User Experience is Better When Centralized into Fewer Instances
Most people access the Fediverse through one of the large instances: lemmy.world, kbin, or beehaw. New or small instances of Lemmy have no content by default, and can most easily get content by linking to larger Lemmy instances. This is done manually one "Community" at a time (I spent 15 minutes doing this yesterday). Meanwhile, on larger instances, content naturally aggregates as a result of the sheer number of users. Because people generally want a user experience similar to Reddit, I think it's inevitable that most user activity will be concentrated in one or two instances. It is probable that these instances follow in the footsteps of Reddit- the cycle repeats.
I actually think the Fediverse is in the beginning the process of fragmenting into siloed smaller, centralized instances. Beehaw, which is on the list of top instances, just blacklisted everyone from lemmy.world. Each of the three largest instances now are working to be a standalone replacement for Reddit and are in direct

Quick Questions about Federation and Lemmy
Yo, sup! I have some quick questions about Federation and Lemmy.
- How are the comments that I make on other instances stored? Are they stored on the monero.town instance, and only accessible to other instances when they connect to monero.town?
- If so, does that mean that the rules for this instance apply across all the lemmy instances I interact with (because all my comments end up getting hosted on this instance)?
