When the Open Social Web Hybridizes: Raccoon for Friendica is a new app...
-
@tio Your instance is one of those shortlisted by Raccoon both because it's very well moderated and because it has a local timeline accessible even without logging in.
I'm glad you'll recommend this app to your contacts. In that regard, although none of us are in love with Google (
), we must admit that the presence of the 1.0 release on the Play Store is essential to overcome the psychological barrier of all those users who do not want to go to alternative stores or download the .apk package.@pfefferle @jerry @informapirata @notizie @alex @fediverse @janTeko @ruud

Why are people upvoting this?
If OP used AI to "make" this post, obviously the app is gonna be slop too
-
@givesomefucks I'm sorry, but you're making serious and false claims that do not honor either your reputation or your ability to recognize the synthetic origin of a text or code.
I wrote the post in Italian and first translated it into English (a language I don't know) using a machine translation system. I then did a back translation to make sure everything was at least comprehensible.
Regarding the app, if you had the necessary knowledge, you could take a look at the code to understand that the development wasn't done with vibe coding, but was done over the course of almost two years, integrating observations and addressing issues.

I mean, the 1h old account, who’s first comment was this post, chiming in about downloading the app wasn’t a giveaway?
-
using a machine translation system.
So...
AI "wrote" this post, like I said...
the development wasn’t done with vibe coding, but was done over the course of almost two years, integrating observations and addressing issues.
And AI coded it to?
You're just saying you put more effort in instead of just vibes?
Even your comment sounds like AI, it disagrees but then immediately acknowledged everything I said was correct.
Even your fucking chat or knows I'm right, you just told it to say I'm wrong.
Why would anyone download this fucking slop?
-
@givesomefucks The post was not even published by the developer of the app (me btw), how can you assume the way its code was written by just reading an article by someone else? If you want to help with development you're welcome! @macfranc -
Well...
The fact that so many zombie account are suddenly all active and super supportive of this ai slop?
Like, this is some of the worst astroturfing Ive ever seen.

Have you seen the new show? It's on Tubu. It's literally on Heebee. It's on Poodee with ads. It's literally on Dippy. You can probably find it on Weeno. Dude it's on Gumpy. It's a Pheebo original. It's on Poob. You can watch it on Poob. You can go to Poob and watch it. Log onto Poob right now. Go to Poob. Dive into Poob. You can Poob it. It's on Poob. Poob
has it for you. Poob has it for you.Posts about Fediverse interoperability are always a mess of different flavors of internet nerds who post in radically different formats clashing. It’s a glorious mess.
Personally I think micro blogging is an atrocious anti-discourse format but I also think anyone who writes the word “discourse” is automatically not worth listening to. So what do I know.
Insert 23 redundant hashtags about open source software here and tag eight accounts run by three people across six instances
(Mastodon friends I appreciate you but your posts are painful to look at through the Lemmy interface good god)
-
I share your concerns about AI slop but you're being a bit of a jerk.
Not everyone speaks English.
-
My favorite part of AI hallucinations is "finally" being halfway thru their arbitrary numbered list...
-
It wasn't "finally" as in "this is the last item in the list" it was "finally" as in "mastodon users can finally do this"
-
@fizzle Given that machine translation systems have nothing to do with LLMs, I see you understand perfectly well that it's perfectly fine not to know English, just as it's perfectly fine to use machine translation systems.
However, I can't be concerned about those who manage to turn what should be a legitimate and justified concern about the proliferation of AI-generated texts into a complete obsession.
-
it's the giant text isn't it?!?!? Or repeating it both in the title and then still yet over again, once more?!?!
Well I still think it's interesting content, after that.

AHAHAH! You're a freak of nature! You're a curious mythological character, half paranoid obsessive, half troll.
But maybe you're just a jealous little person... In that case, you're just salty because you've probably never even been able to program a washing machine.

Questo post è eliminato! -
@OpenStars I'm both disappointed and amused by this inconvenience.
Unfortunate, because my intention was to highlight the app's qualities, not to annoy as many readers as possible.
But I'm also amused, because unfortunately, many Lemmy apps format titles poorly, transforming #/
h1tags into something like "format a gigantic title that takes up one screen for each syllable."
-
@ggtdbz There's something I don't understand: from the desktop and smartphone web interface (see image), it appears the display isn't that abnormal. Do you see it differently?
I also don't understand the reference to Mastodon: most Mastodon users write in plain text, while only users of certain forks can use formatted text. What's the problem that bothers you reading Mastodon users' comments?
-
@cannedtuna Can you explain better what you mean? Which accounts have been active for an hour?
-
I am not sure that you would get this unless I add your user tag @macfranc@poliversity.it ?
It is not your fault. The entire Fediverse is still being built, and it only gets better over time.:-) The fact that Lemmy + PieFed + mBin + nodeBB can intercommunicate at all is fantastic, even though yes there are some kinks remaining to be worked out:-).
My intention was to make light of the reasoning behind criticism of your post, while pointing out to Threadiverse users that once you get past that, the actual content is quite solid. So less "wall of text" than merely "odd-looking introduction". It's a good post!
And yeah the giant text looks weird, haha!
Especially since at first it is a repeat of the title, but then goes into new territory after that. I do not know if there is anything that can be done about it though, except further code development on the side of all the myriad varieties of recipients of the message.
