Good point. I have been a lot more active in tailoring my experience here compared to other social media. I wish there was more tools for deciding whether or not you want to block someone though. Sometimes its not as simple as just looking at their post history. Also as an aside I wish it was possible to block votes as well so the ranking of the content was also able to be personalized.

I’m going to be bold enough to say we don’t have as wide of an AI/LLM issue on the Fediverse as the other platforms will have.
Why do you think that? I don't think that there is anything systemic in how the fediverse operates that will stop LLMs polluting the discourse here too. Actually I already think that they are polluting the discourse here.

That sucks. So much research is being twisted by humanity's greed. I hope that whatever comes after the internet becomes useless is better.

Long distances actually don't really mean much it can't be guaranteed that they actually correlate to much. It is mostly the local groups that are conserved and a bit of the global structure.

I am gonna try this recipe sooner or later. Because that looks delicious.
Danterious 6 days ago • 100%
Yeah pretty much. There is also a weighting based on the percentage of comments in that community that come from that user.
Danterious 6 days ago • 100%
Actually it did so thx for that.

I don't think it was included because there were no new comments made after august 1.

I had to try scraping the websites multiple times because of stupid bugs I put in the code beforehand, so I might of put more strain on the instances than I meant too. If I did this again it would hopefully be much less tolling on the servers.
As for the cost of scraping it actually isn't that hard I just had it running in the background most of the time.

Yeah I've noticed there aren't many clusters that encode specific ideas (there are a few like the anime, nsfw, or sometimes instance level clusters). Most of it just seems to be a blend. Sorta disappointing.

The original data had 21,000+ features. I used an algorithm to reduce the dimensions to 2 but keep a similar structure (so similar communities are close dissimilar communities are far away).
So the axes don't really mean anything in particular.

Probably a webgl problem. I had to use ungoogled chromium to open the page. I think it works on regular firefox too.
Danterious 1 week ago • 100%
Yeah that sounds like a good idea so you can see how connected local communities are. Probably makes more sense to use original dimensions so no extra information is lost.
Danterious 1 week ago • 84%
Something that I find interesting is how close the central clusters of beehaw.org, slrpnk.net, and lemmy.blahaj.zone are together. If you only highlight those instances then you see how close their communities tend to be.
Danterious 1 week ago • 91%
Total communities: 2986
Total users: 21934
So the dimensions were reduced from (2986, 21934) to (2986, 2)
Edit: Also yeah it is using Umap for the algorithm and it does do something pretty similar to what you described.

Either the people in !steamdeck@lemmy.world are pretty horny or its an artifact of the dimensionality reduction and means nothing.
Edit: Actually it could also be that it just didn't collect enough data on that community and the most recent person was also active in nsfw communities. I was only able to get back 14ish days in the data for lemmy.world. They produce way to many comments and I got kicked out early.
Danterious 1 week ago • 88%
Well I used dimensionality reduction to make it 2D so the axes are how the algorithm chose to compress it.
The original data had each data point as a community and the features as a frequency of a user posting in that community.

This is my first try at creating a map of lemmy. I based it on the overlap of commentors that visited certain communities. I only used communities that were on the top 35 active instances for the past month and limited the comments to go back to a maximum of August 1 2024 (sometimes shorter if I got an invalid response.)

People say they have problems with discoverability. A map will help people find the content they want faster.
Danterious 2 weeks ago • 100%
The map up above checks how similar two subreddits are by checking how much overlap the people that comment in both communities there is. It could be the same as that or maybe something different.
The easiest would be to have countries similar to how it had in the map of reddit be the instances and show the connections between subscribers maybe.

I never said we shouldn't use algorithms I just think what those algorithms were doing could be different.

Hey I'm sorta curious, do you have any insight on what the protesters plan on doing next? Especially with the army declaring an interim government and all that.
Like is there some plan on how to make sure the movement doesn't die down or get co-opted like other movements have?
Danterious 1 month ago • 100%
Thx. However looking into it more one thing I don't like is there isn't any separation of the different fediverse services, so it counts flipboard and threads.net as part of the fediverse which probably is going to skew the results.
But since the backend is open source someone can implement this to only work with specific instances instead or maybe as a tool for administrators.
Danterious 1 month ago • 100%
As an example below you can see a spike in the usage of the word "weird" recently that probably is related to how people are now calling republicans weird.

Abstract: Although hundreds of dialogue programs geared towards conflict resolution are offered every year, there have been few scientific studies of their effectiveness. Across 2 studies we examined the effect of controlled, dyadic interactions on attitudes towards the ‘other’ in members of groups involved in ideological conflict. Study 1 involved Mexican immigrants and White Americans in Arizona, and Study 2 involved Israelis and Palestinians in the Middle East. Cross-group dyads interacted via video and text in a brief, structured, face-to-face exchange: one person was assigned to write about the difficulties of life in their society (‘perspective-giving’), and the second person was assigned to accurately summarize the statement of the first person (‘perspective-taking’). Positive changes in attitudes towards the outgroup were greater for Mexican immigrants and Palestinians after perspective-giving and for White Americans and Israelis after perspective-taking. For Palestinians, perspective-giving to an Israeli effectively changed attitudes towards Israelis, while a control condition in which they wrote an essay on the same topic without interacting had no effect on attitudes, illustrating the critical role of being heard. Thus, the effects of dialogue for conflict resolution depend on an interaction between dialogue condition and participants' group membership, which may reflect power asymmetries.
I recently downloaded linux mint and I wanted use a live wallpaper so I found out I can do that with hidamari.

Found this article from 2016 and thought that it is actually a good theory of where we are now as a society. The rest are my thoughts on this: The ultimatum game is an experiment a dealer has a 100$ and they are able to offer you any split of the money they like and keep the rest for themselves. If you reject the offer no one gets any money. It has been shown that after increasingly unfair offers people tend to reject the offer even though it isn't a rational move. People seem to be in a place where they see the benefits of society are unequally distributed and are becoming more willing to throw out the whole system even if it comes at huge cost to them. We are seeing the same thing with what is happening in New Caledonia with the riots or with even with just people moving off established social media. It seems like level of awfulness that makes people willing to just say fuck it all is different for everyone but with more occurrences of this happening I do think we are reaching a tipping point on a global scale. This is actually a part of the reason why I believe countries are starting to regulate social media is so that people aren't reminded of these problems as often. For example China recently made a law that is going to repress showing wealth on social media. So this is an attempt to hide the problem instead of actually facing it. This is also related to the US election. Rationally people should choose Biden over Trump but according to the polls it seems like it being the "rational" choice isn't enough.

Since whales are teaming up with each other to take down yachts and teaching others how to do it I thought this would be a fun question. If a majority of intelligent enough sea animals that could communicate with each other teamed up to mess with human activities in the sea who would win. By the way for people that say that humans would obviously win we have already lost a war against emus before.
