Free will, fate, and randomness all play a role in our universe, each parameter affecting each other. There is no such thing as absolute free will, nor does absolute determinism guide our universe, nor does absolute randomness. I think however, that our closest understanding to the inherent nature of our universe is a form of randomness.

I was wondering. But does total up votes actually count for anything algorithmicalky like how it is on reddit? I don’t think so on Lemmy right?

Not like you can even farm “karma” here in the first place. Lemmy doesn’t have karma I’m pretty sure.

I mean you say that, but it’s not like every community on .ml is focused on politics man. Their largest communities are mostly about tech. And they have a pretty cool, albeit somewhat inactive datahoarders community, of whom I think some are helping with redundant archival of datasets being erased by Trump’s administration.

Edit Addendum: For anyone who has the storage space, I would consider helping out with the effort.

Imma be honest, I don’t think .ml belongs on there. Their users can be pretty cool.

Methinks there might be a culture war/defederation covert campaign being done by more right or even just regular liberal users.

That or I’m being paranoid.

Is it really that complex? The API fiasco had me moving here, and I’ll tell you right now, I ain’t the tech savviest.

It be how it be sometimes.

I wonder if the censoring is on the open source self hosted model? The app runs Deepseek on Chinese servers so it makes sense that it would have censoring there, but what about on the actual offline model you can download?

You guys all downloaded offline versions of Wikipedia…right?

Or you could use Umberto Eco’s “Ur Fascism” definition.

Could do something like discord. Rather than communities, you have “micro instances” existing on top of the larger instance, and communities existing within the micro instances. And of course make it so that making micro instances are easier to create.

Shiet, I thought you were talking about taking up arms and literally taking AI data centers

No they mean eventually someone will fuck up, especially, given a long enough period of time. No amount of money can account for occasional clumsiness.

Any specific ones in mind that are of great importance or influence?
