This is not only happening again, but r/help is also coming up as not found now. And Reddit is not reporting any outages according to the X page.

I’m going to do quotes of your response with my replies again here.

I have read your response, and now I have a better understanding of what you meant in your first post. The concerns that you shared with us are all valid. My response is still the same… I fear that we lack the spiritual and mental capacity to deal with it.

It is good you have a better understanding of what I mean here because they concerns I’m sharing here are all valid, and I felt that I wanted to open discussion here on my thoughts since it seems to already be effecting our spirituality.

AI, like any other piece of technology is only a tool. It is greed through corruption that tries to convince us to fight some imaginary evil, and our predictable response eventually makes it a real one. A self fulfilling prophecy. Tools don’t create discrimination, division and conflict. Lack of spiritual and mental capacity does.

Well, its more like AI is becoming a threat of serious job displacement and fueling corruption and greed. I tend to wonder who or what interests are we fueling by using these AI tools and technology even though I feel like they might be a part of what is causing discrimination, division, and conflict.

This old, rigid social economic system that supports only the rule of brute power comes from this self fueling circle, and in the end always leaves us to fend for ourselves. Our inability to cope with the pain that comes from our ignorance has bent enough will to create this horrific state of tension where those who have the chance to save themselves by sacrificing others will do so using any means necessary, using the hopeless to do their bidding, staying undetected, while we sacrifice the scapegoat in anger, create more hopelessness to fuel the repetition, and getting congratulations for being good dogs. To them it is “either them or us”, which thanks to our ineptitude holds true. Some are blissfully unaware of any danger, but many are either crestfallen, overdosing on cynicism or standing paralyzed in a pool of doom. If you think your story can inspire someone to recognize our shortcomings and act responsibly, then go ahead.

Actually, what my original intentions here is to see where my valid concerns that I’m sharing would fit or if I’m going to need to design a new community for this, even though the story I’m currently writing is part of it. As for the video series that I’m also preparing to work on, I’m currently not sure where that would be getting uploaded since YouTube is going to shit lately with blocking Invidious and shit going down.

I decided to do quotes of your response here with my reply as there might be a little confusion going on and I’m just trying to be as clear as possible with my thoughts here.

It is a common effect of being more aware giving us the feeling that the situation has become worse. Medieval times aren’t all that romantic and mysterious as one could think. Information was scarce, societies were more disconnected and it was much easier for sadistic psychopaths to act on their impulse without facing immediate justice.

Well, I do feel and maybe I’m becoming much more aware of the situation with certain technologies becoming worse. The only times I was referring to medieval times was with the story writing that I’m doing while trying to keep my mind off of worrying things, and I have not exactly gotten that far yet with my story writing. When I do begin to get that far, it will not be anything like what actually took place back in the year 1024 or earlier since it will hopefully be a depiction of a place I have in mind.

We are not up against technological achievements of very talented and intelligent people. AI is a powerful tool, and can very well be used to perpetuate discrimination, division and conflict. However you wouldn’t blame the knife for the murder. The solution is not the destruction of technology. The path of salvation lies in the spiritual and mental growth beyond the prison that is constantly being built around us, whether we have technology or not.

I’m somewhat confused there as I feel that certain technological achievements isn’t benefiting anyone at this point, other than leading to the degrading of stuff as well as possibly discrimination, division, and conflict being caused by it. I feel even the surveillance state that is happening is leading to similar issues. The solution may or may not be the destruction of technology in my opinion, but to cut down on a lot of technology due to what it is doing to us.

You could say that is cruel that we are forced to move towards enlightenment in order to not end in absolute misery of this unforgiving world. Luckily there are as many ways to reach it as there are colors. Green is a nice color. Don’t be afraid to grow, but always remember your heart.

Yes, green is not only a nice color, but it reminds me of the deep peaceful forest where I feel the most comfortable in at times, and here I’m just trying to open discussion on ideas I’m working or focusing on and find out whether or not I need to start a new community for them.

Yeah, my topic is basically about ideas on how to deal with our current environment and projects that can help with this including venturing into the woods to reconnect with them, but also some other things that are included such as medieval fantasy based story writing, a video series project which takes place mostly in the woods and can include a scavenger hunt to search for and find a number of certain things, etc. which would be much better for young people than staying indoors and constantly on tablets and phones. This can also help reconnect with natural magics and show things that are on the verge of becoming forgotten in favor of thinking that the next best thing is better, when that may not be the case as it leads to enshittification, such as the degradation which can be seen via remakes of Cartoon and TV Series, the increase in pollution, and internet sites that are going to shit with so many ads an enshittification.

My aim is to hopefully open and encourage discussion on this and about how it might be better to move away from a number of technologies and find happiness being outside, in the wilderness, and mystical places, and to look at what certain kinds of technologies may be doing to us, what needs to be rejected to regain happiness, and also what or who we are fueling by being lured into getting the next best technical thing that hits the market and where their interest lies, and are they trustworthy or are they very greedy. The idea is basically like looking at things that existed decades or longer ago that are becoming forgotten, what did we walk away from while being lured into something else we think is better when it might not be, and what feels like would be a good idea to bring back into the mainstream.

Anyway, I did take a look in !simpleliving@lemmy.ml and I’m not one-hundred percent about that being the right place for this. Probably would need to check with @inasaba@lemmy.ml about that, even though this currently has me thinking a new community may need to be made for it.

Hi, I did think about posting it to !casualconversation@lemm.ee before I posted here, but I was afraid there might be a risk of it becoming seen as a controversial topic such as becoming a political or a societal debate and didn’t want to risk being in violation of that rule over there. If you think I’m not going to be, I can post this topic over there to try to encourage discussion on it.

And there is going to be many who will say the answer to that is a “Good Cop With a Gun”.

I had finally gotten this response from Rooki at Lemmy.World which suggests I’m going to be needing help in finding a workaround here, if anyone can help me out.

Hi,

sadly there is no “Whitelist” or some sort for this, so we can not really do much about this for now.

Here is the repository if you want to track its progress / request such feature: https://github.com/db0/fedi-safety

With regards, Rooki

Oh, the link to my community is !koalawallawoods@lemmy.world.

I’m a member in this community since I joined it sometime ago wanting to know what Lemmy Instances there are, but I’m not sure where I should be directed to if it were to be locked.

Edit: Holy cow, I was just looking in their profile and it looks like they are listed as a mod in over 112 communities.

Okay, I hope it was a false positive. If that is the case, would I be okay re-uploading the image in question? And if it happens again and I have not received any notification, either in my messages or e-mail, about why its being removed, then I will likely need an admin here to look into it for me.

When something like this happens and its not a false positive and there is any actual reason for it, I would prefer to know why to avoid any legal issues.

I’m using LibreWolf here and I’m not having this issue on my end.

I just hope that the next new study doesn’t end up being “New Study: At Least 15% of All Lemmy Content is Corporate Trolls Trying to Manipulate Public Opinion”, otherwise I would be wondering WTF is going on, is Lemmy on the way of being enshittified by Corporate Morons?

Not sure why you’re down, but don’t feel bad about not posting.

I’m just feeling a bit down because of a number of things going on in the world, and especially the various things that are happening to the environment and the wilderness that seem to worry me. I’m not feeling bad about not posting since I’m looking for ideas on what to post.

Look, I’m gunna be straight with you, Lemmy can be frustrating when it comes to providing content to your community because, yea some people comment and of course you get votes, But little to no one CONTRIBUTES

I’m not exactly frustrated when it comes to providing content to my community, even though I’m getting so many emails a day that have been slowing me down, not because little to no one contributes.

People have no issue consuming content, but a lot seem to have zero desire and interest in contributing.

This can be exhausting. Especially if you have a lot of communities like myself.

I don’t moderate a lot of communities, I only have one community I moderate.

It feels thankless, and like a waste of time sometimes. I now only post when I’m feeling in the mood for it. But I don’t post insistently anymore because really that makes it work and no fun.

Having said all this. It makes me wonder how far lemmy will even develop if it stays like this.

Yeah, this may make someone wonder what the future of Lemmy could end up being.

Bots and posting web links with zero description, area not the answer. People, at least from what I gather, are not interested in recycled or manufactured content.

I’m not a bot, and I don’t use bots to post web links with zero description because that is not the answer, and I try not to recycle or manufacture content.

Too many are comfortable providing nothing but consuming everything, and then bitching that no one is participating in communities of their niche interest or also not even creating communities for their niche and then just complaining that it’s not on Lemmy.

Like look, you have to make at least a little bit of an effort. You can’t just take take take and then bitch bitch bitch but provide nothing to help the situation.

I’m not bitching that no one is participating in communities of my niche interest, even though I have already created a community on here. And I do make some effect and I’m not bitching about it.

I like your community, I always upvote your posts and comment when I can. You deserve a break don’t feel bad about it.

Its good people like you like my community, and I think that I may try a koala kasual or something topic in it soon, even though I’m currently in a bit of a break trying to figure out the two munch e-mails issue I have.

@Mistral@lemmings.world What do you get when you cross a Lemming with a Redditor?

I just followed these instructions and tried to post the same comment in c/enshittification while I had the networks console not minimized, and it says “error: language_not_allowed” and I not sure why as I also choose English as the language.

Edit: I just tried it again without selecting a language and it worked. Not sure why language is blocked there and not sure if that is a setting a community mod can set.

Uh, F12 here only makes a bar appear for adjusting screen brightness.

Edit: I just tried that and it gave me something with a ‘Network’ tab, with this red I can only find in it.

I’m not banned from that community and there is nothing listed in the modlog of that community either as I just checked this, and I do select a language before trying to post.

No, I’m not using a VPN to access Lemmy.World

Last time I heard a line like that is by Dark Helmet in Space Balls.
