Maybe we need a technical questions and answers siteon the fediverse!

It's a metaphor for us killing ourselves in the processes of deforestation, not a story of someone actually making a coffin.

You just have to talk and explain <u> everything</u>. Oh, wait...

A lot of those kind of bots don't even use ai. They just grab someone's photo on the internet and go with it.

There's one advantage on the fediverse. We don't have the corporations like reddit manipulating our feeds, censoring what they dislike, and promoting shit. This alone makes using the fediverse worth for me.

When it comes to problems involving the users themselves, things aren't that different, and we don't have much to do.

Is there an actual way to stop it? I don't think so. At least, moving to the fediverse would stop any particular corporation from having the monopoly of it, prevent reddit-like abuse of power, would give users more power, among a few other things.

they can perhaps create instances, pay malicious users, try some embrace, extend, extinguish approach or something, but they can't manipulate the code running on the instances we use, so they can't have direct power over it. Or am I missing something? I'm new to the fediverse.

How do you know?

You got me. I should stop taking things too literally

Does anyone know where I can find more information about it? I got diagnosed last year, and I have several mild autoimmune issues that doctors never managed to help me with. Perhaps it's related to autism?

That's not what I mean, but the opposite. I'm diagnosed as autistic, but I wanted to know if my autoimmune issues are related to it, perhaps as a way to better deal with them. I just wanted some more information on the relationship between autism and autoimmune diseases, because I found very little on the internet.

The way I see it, soulseek is focused on sharing smaller files and niche stuff to a small community. For large files, or things with a large audience, other tools would be better suited.

Thank you for the in depth explanation

Can't some instances make some sort of agreement and have a whitelist of instances to not block? People would need to register to add their instances to the list, and some common measures would be applied to restrict someone from registering several instances at once, and banning people who misuse the system.

That wouldn't solve the problem, but perhaps would make things more manageable.

I use soulseek quite often. It's a good source of books and pdfs too.

Can someone eli5 why emule stopped being used, if people liked it so much?

you're right, the matter is more complicated than I thought...
