Just another day for King Louis Trump in Versailles Mar-a-Lago

So they’re still following the steps in Creating a Fascist Regime for Dummies, how surprising.

and in other news notifications of things that happened: On 5 April an Israeli army official lied.

If I would disagree I would have said so, totally valid point if you ask me.

Edit: and good advice too.

Should have tariffed him better

That might happen, who knows, but that is not what this article is about af all.

Great piece of history this is.

… Originally I used the abbreviation “invcel”. (My first article on the topic needed a DOS filename of 8 characters or less!) Someone else on the mailing list (the original forum) suggested that “incel” would be easier to pronounce, so we had switched by 1999.

Since the incel forums became exclusively male, and trended towards misogyny, the world has come to use the term “incel” to refer to men who are angry at women because they can’t find someone to date or have sex with. Reclaiming the term for the original neutral meaning would be a hopeless cause.

Thanks for sharing, this could actually be very helpful research for the development of Lemmy and other fediverse platforms. Here is some text from the article that explains what appearantly happens by using bots:

[…] not all bots are the same in the bustling world of Reddit.

Some bots are simple, […]. Take WikiTextBot, for example. […] Using Reddit’s API, it scans every post and follows its hard-coded rule: “If there’s a Wikipedia link, post a summary.” These bots, [are] known as “reflexive bots,” […].

Then there are […] the “supervisory bots” tasked with moderating discussions. […]

[… ] it’s important to understand how the presence of these bots affects human-to-human interactions in these online communities. […]

They observed that reflexive bots, which generate and share content, increased user connections by providing novel content and encouraging engagement. However, this came at a cost: human interactions became shallower, with fewer meaningful back-and-forth discussions. Instead, bots often replied to posts, limiting deeper conversations between human users.

On the other hand, supervisory bots, designed to enforce community rules, reduced the need for human moderators. Previously, key community members would collaborate to set and uphold norms, strengthening their roles within the community. With automated moderation, this coordination became less necessary, leading to a diminished role for human moderators in fostering community engagement and culture.

The story of bots on social media is still unfolding, with platforms and their creators tasked with finding the right balance between innovation and authenticity. As firms weigh the impact of bots, they face an essential truth: how these digital entities are managed will shape the future of online human connection.

So the last part is why this matters, but I wanted to include lines from the first part because they explain what the basis of the research. I took the liberty to put the last line in bold because that is why I felt the need to write this response. Also worth mentioning is the size of this research:

Between 2005 and 2019, Lalor and his team studied Reddit communities- almost 70 million posts- experiencing a rise in bot activity.

Well it’s not like putting your money in the stock market is a good idea either.

There is still a chance they only broke the American part, might turn out that the global economy doesn’t need it. Fingers crossed.

They missed the snake train is why: https://lemm.ee/post/60839026

I think you mean 6.0K

Numbers can be misleading. If you have 100 points and you lose 50% you have 50 points left. If you then gain 50% you don’t go back to your original amount but to 75 points. In other words high percentual gains is not the same as a full recovery. I’m no expert, but I believe that in general the way down is usually much steeper than the way up on the stock market.

But isn’t this an American company?

I don’t want to defend Trump in anyway but this is a hystirical headline meant to generate clicks and attention.

“I said to them, was there any sign of love?” Trump said, recounting his conversation with released hostages.

“Did the, Hamas, show any signs of like, help? Or liking you? Did they wink? Did they give you a piece of bread extra? Did they give you a meal on the side? … Like, you know, what happened in Germany?” Trump said, absurdly comparing the hostages’ situation to the Holocaust, which murdered six million Jews.

“People would try and help people that were in unbelievable distress,” the president went on, suggesting that the Nazis were known for their generosity.

“No, they didn’t do that, they’d slap us,” Trump said the hostages told him about Hamas, while sitting next to the man who is currently leading Israel’s genocide in Gaza. “Their hatred is unbelievable.”

What I think he is trying to say in a very weird way is Nazi’s treated Jews better than Hamas does now.

Yes the orange monkey is very stupid and crazy for saying shit like this, again I don’t want to defend him in any way but the article does not say that Trump thinks Nazi’s loved Jews.

Stupid question, what does it mean when a security detail is being stretched “to a near-breaking point” and is that what normally happens when one of your bodyguards is arrested?

Smart to let all the experienced people go, now the resistance can no longer turn them.
