What if they work for a PMC? I'd probably judge that. Or worse, what if they're a CEO?

I don't know honestly. Really, with AI it would be pretty difficult to be foolproof. I'm thinking of the MIT card counting group and how they played as archetypal players to obscure their activities. You could easily make an account that upvoted content in a way that looked plausible. I'm sure there are many real humans that upvote stories positive to one political party and downvote a different political party. Edit: I mean fuck, if you wanted to, you could create an instance just to train your model. Edit 2: For that matter, you could create an instance to bypass any screening for botters...

It also took one person to start the whole couch fucking thing.

If there were, upbotters would use it to verify that new bottling methods weren't detectable. There's a reason why reddit has so much obfuscation around voting and bans.

Is it possible to get a report of which posts are being voted by them?

Wow, it's probably a one in a million chance that you replied that to someone who knows the reference.

This is ancient.

I would be okay with this if Britain started with the zeroth floor.

Haven't played it so I have no opinion on its quality, but that came out a decade ago.

The fact that this comment is getting upvoted is why I fucking hate this place.

But there is no public debate commission, and no public funding going to these debates. It's two campaigns making a deal with a private TV network to show them on TV arguing with each other. Should there be a public debate commission? And if there were, would it be appropriate to feature more candidates? Maybe! But as is, the only real issue is that the vast majority of the public does not care about these candidates.

The debate is literally an agreement between Donald trump and kamala Harris. There is no neutral debate commission involved. This doesn't really make sense.

Those candidates are free to have their own debate if they think they can convince someone to put them on TV.

Edit: Also is Jill Stein a "moderate"?

 

I can't see what I'm typing in landscape orientation. I type in landscape 100% of the time.

 

Does not make me sad he's gone, tbh.

 

Been noticing a spammer who set up their own instance and can't see a fast way to just block the whole instance, either from the user menu, or from navigating to the instance. I may just be missing it.

 

I'm wondering if I'm just missing how to do this. I don't want to see posts from porn communities when I'm browsing sync in public. I'm OK with blurred NSFW posts from communities which are not marked NSFW. I would really prefer not to have to filter out every single one manually.

 

Any recs on a BIFL key chain? Those rings always get bent over time, looking for something sturdy. Might just be a flaw in the design because if you can bend it enough to get a key on, you can probably bend it out of shape over time.
