Researchers at the University of Zurich spammed the r/changemyview subreddit community with AI-generated comments in an effort to prove that LLMs could be used to persuade people to change their views. They did so without permission from Reddit, the moderators of the subreddit, or the members who were emotionally manipulated through their interaction with the comments.

A few points to follow.

Today, I discovered Raddle, which is an alternative to #Reddit and I am loving it so far! While it's not Federated, the communities appear to be better ran. Also, one reddit dude said it was political and full of anarchists so I was like um where do I sign up! Plus, it has beautiful design on the #Accessibility front so try a few communities at raddle.me/wiki/sitemap#literat #Forum #Forums

WoltLab Burning Board is a forum software developed by developers for developers, as well as business class support forums in mind. -- Discourse was not the right choice.

WoltLab's framework is free open source, too. Granted, the forum is paid, but it would have been a better option.

The upcoming possibility of browsing to remote federated categories/communities has me thinking about interesting use cases for it.

Note that Lemmy, PieFed, mBin, and other "community-centric" software already do support this, so it's nothing new, I'm actually playing catch-up.

One interesting use case centers around NodeBB's /unread route, which tracks new topics since your last visit. Since ever, and even now in v4, this is only for local categories, but if you're able to "subscribe" to a remote category, then we could enable use of this page for that content too.

Think about waking up and seeing a self-curated feed of new content from your subscribed communities! There are some interesting parallels to RSS here, too.

What other forum-centric use cases do you think would be enhanced by the ability to browse remote categories?

"A vast, decentralized network of personal #blogs, #forums, and independent #communities has been corralled into a handful of paved #prisonyards controlled by a few massive corporations.

The fediverse is a #jailbreak. It’s not something you can buy stock in or use to enrich yourself at the cost of our shared humanity."

MastodonJA Westenberg (@Daojoan@mastodon.social)The fediverse is an ecosystem where you - not some incellionaire obsessed with eugenics - own your digital identity. Where your social graph belongs to you, not an algorithm’s shifting fucking whims. Where moving from one service to another doesn’t mean losing everything you’ve built and everything you’ve ever said. https://www.joanwestenberg.com/the-fediverse-isnt-the-future-its-the-present-weve-been-denied/
