Like others have already said, “creators” isn’t just video creators. I support people and organisations from Mastodon as well for example in addition to developers building the platforms/clients.
Since you’re on a Lemmy server, you could consider supporting that specific server or Lemmy development in general.
Ah, it’s described in the readme.
Catodon is a fork of Misskey that brings together the best features of Sharkey, Firefish and Iceshrimp, and adds what none of them has: Lemmy-compatible forums and federated blogs. Microblogging, forums and blogs live in one place, and it is built to make communities easier to run, easier to understand, and more comfortable to use every day.
How does this differ from Misskey?
I actually ran into this European initiative earlier which aims to help fund public European social media, maybe something like this could help?
From the little research I did it seems this isn’t necessarily for the Fediverse, but the funding could be used for it from my understanding. I’m curious what others think of this.
I use Mastodon (rarely), Lemmy/PieFed (mainly) and PeerTube (occasionally) because I re-upload the content of another small creator. Some of the channels I follow I mentioned in this older comment, but the advice is relevant here as well. Ask creators you follow to mirror to PeerTube and you’ll have a reason to start using it more!
For YouTubers especially it can be as easy as setting up automatic synchronisation once and forgetting about it.
Edit: or be the one uploading for them if you have permission and the time for it like me ;)
Non AI-generated comic by ToothyBj:
In theory, yes. But that’s usually not what happens in practice. I don’t know if that’s the case for Mbin but I have no interest in finding out. Most people that do LLM driven development submit code that looks right, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it is right. The same probably applies to reviewers when approving/merging changes, if they have way more code to review I wouldn’t be surprised if they get lazier with it, might even be subconsciously.
There are a lot more reasons why using LLMs is generally speaking not a good idea, but to keep it short I’ll just share some relevant articles/posts that go more in depth and explain it better than me:
I was somewhat interested until I read the last part. I personally have no interest in contributing to projects that rely on AI and I feel like others feel the same way. It results in more code being shipped than necessary and thus requires a lot more time to understand and modify, I’d rather spend that time on projects that don’t rely on LLMs.
Are there any plans to make this project open source?
.ml was another instance I was already aware of at the time, back then I didn’t know people formed opinions based on which instance you’re with either
I believe it was !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com.
The only reason I’m on .ml is because one of the communities I wanted to subscribe to was blocked on .world
Since physical places wasn’t specified, how much nicer the threadiverse (Lemmy) is compared to Reddit, way less toxic from my experience.
Why is the development group not federated?
I wish websites like these weren’t vibe coded because they could offer real value. I wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending it because I can’t guarantee the information is/will be correct.
Edit: I just noticed it’s partly made by dansup, I guess it makes sense why AI is involved.
Where’s the AI disclosure?
The Tor project actually did something like that this year, maybe they’ll do it again in the future. There are probably more campaigns like this but I haven’t looked deeper into it.
