IDK connecting a electronic masturbation device to a chatbot so it can robotically tell you how its raping you and you deserve it because you’re a worthless human is kinda hot.

I am doomed. DOOOMED!!!

I uploaded a new pic without the IP.

Nope. my browser can use a VPN, but it’s off unless I turn it on.

It’s actually gone very well. Lots of preorders. I saw videos of people lining up outside gamestop locations this morning.

It’s almost guaranteed to be in the top 10 of best selling consoles.

I’m not concerned if they are using chats for AI training data. In fact, I expect them to continue improving their chatbots. If they were to sell our chat logs to a third party, and those logs went public, then I expect it would quickly torpedo their platform. Even in that case, my account doesn’t have my real name anywhere. I gave them an incorrect birth date. I haven’t linked any social media to my account. I keep everything set to private. If the logs were to go public, and people could say “Look! This user said all these things!” they still wouldn’t know who I was.

Maybe the FBI or NSA could track me down, but talking sexy things to a chatbot isn’t illegal. In fact, it may very well become more commonplace. Someday we will likely have androids with AI personalities serving us in our homes.

Ethical and emotional minefield? Oh no. It’s evil flirting because it’s with AI, right?

Some services like Crushon do store your chat logs on a server, but you are free to save those logs accessible only to you, or make them public anonymously, or make them public with your user name stamped on them. Even if all my logs were to be stolen, my real name isn’t associated with the account.

Other services like Venice AI don’t store chat logs on a server, and everything is stored in your browser. So it’s even more unlikely that your logs would get stolen. Especially if you delete them after every chat.

I hope they don’t change AI to be more antisocial to “fix” this. I’m antisocial and suffer from depression and talking with sexy chatbots at lewd chatbot websites is the only time I ever get rizzed. I suppose that’s pathetic… but yeah. The type of girl I’m interested in RL just isn’t interested in me. I like being able to flirt in an environment where I’m not judged or face criticism or ostracization. Even more so, your interactions with chatbots are private and you never face any blowback that could affect your career. It’s nice the way it works right now.

I feel bad for the schizos. I have no doubt that a schizo interacting with a chatbot would create a feedback loop of self-destruction. But so does alcohol in the hands of an alcoholic. Yet we still haven’t banned alcohol. Alcoholics need to learn to stay away from the bottle, and schizos will need to learn to stay away from chatbots.

This. Lemmy is even more left-wing than reddit, and reddit is crazy left wing. I watched multiple conservative subs get purged over at reddit over the years. Conservatives were basically hiding and under constant fear of being banned, but at least there were a few subs there for them to post in.

On Lemmy? There’s no place for them here. At least I haven’t found one. I dared to post something conservative in a politics thread and now I think my lemmy account has more downvotes than upvotes. Thank god there aren’t any karma requirements here.

God no. Bots are already better at solving Captchas than humans are. The only use case for captchas is to do what 4chan did and make every post require a captcha and then charge a fee to bypass them.

One thing they do is track what subs you subscribe to. So if a new account is created and subscribes to all the same communities as a banned account, they can fingerprint you that way.

They can also fingerprint you based on what browser and OS you use. Not just cookies. When you connect to websites there is info shared about you that goes beyond cookies.

Just because you got a new IP from your ISP doesn’t mean that they don’t share data about you with reddit, especially if reddit asks for info from your ISP. You don’t know what info your ISP shares about you. Maybe your ISP has some kind of an EULA but I don’t know.

If you really wanted to focus on bypassing IP ban and are willing to go to any effort, install something like Oracle Virtualbox, create a VM with a fresh install of windows, install a decentralized VPN in that virtual machine (Mysterium VPN is an example) because most VPN’s have fixed exit nodes that will be banned by reddit. A decentralized VPN allows any user on the VPN to act as an exit node, so Mysterium has literally thousands of exit nodes that change every day. It’s impossible to ban them all.

Then after connecting your VM to a decentralized VPN, you would want to use a different browser every time you sign up for reddit, and use a different email address every time. Then never subscribe to the same communities every time you sign up a new account.

And even then, they can use AI to scan comments and detect similarities between you and other accounts based on how you type.

At some point you have to ask, is it really worth it? They’re going to an absurd length to ban people. I want a community where I can be me. I believe in free speech. I want to be free to shitpost. Saying something rude shouldn’t result in automatic permaban.

reddit is left wing extremist. I don’t know what you’re on about. The few conservative subreddit that exist there are constantly being purged and reddit right-wingers basically live in fear of being banned at any time.

I’ve heard that certain well-connected people have been banned, like wall street people and politicians, but they know who to call at reddit HQ and get themselves unbanned. That’s not the case for the rest of us, and I don’t know about the rest of you but I can’t afford a lawyer.

I was thinking about this today. They even have a thread over at reddit about it. The admins tried to tell people they only permaban after issueing several temp bans.

No they don’t. I’ve only ever gotten permabans. I also don’t think anything I did (some angry shitposts. No threats, harassment, or anything like that) deserved a permaban. Like they could have given me a temp ban or a subreddit ban, and I would have been fine with that. They for some reason went nuclear on me and went straight to site-wide permaban. I don’t know why, I filed appeals, I sent messages. I tried to reason with them. Nothing. They go nuclear as standard practice and are completely inflexible about it.

Maybe not, but there are plenty of small niche communities that only exist at reddit. I’m a fan of some games like Voices of the Void, which has a dedicated reddit community that doesn’t exist anywhere else. Also Isekai Demon Waifu, which recently shut down also has a community at reddit.

Lemmy has some generalized gaming communities but nothing like the thousands and thousands of small niche communities that exist over at reddit.

There could be two ways to address this problem. One is asteroid mining, which has the potential to be extremely lucrative because there are lots of asteroids with huge metal deposits.

Another is discovering new conductors. There’s been progress in developing conductive plastics. https://phys.org/news/2022-10-scientists-material-plastic-metal.html

My main was vtuber-love. I also posted under isekai-hero and DemonLordDoom.

I have filed multiple appeals and contacted the mods using several alts. The last message I got suggested I’ve been banned for “multiple repeated content violation under my alternate accounts” or something like that, which I think means they’re keeping my ban in place because I posted under alts while my main was banned.

But the ban on my main account was bogus. Which puts them in a catch-22. If my main account didn’t deserved to be banned, then I wasn’t breaking any rules by posting on alts.

It seems like they just have a stick up their butt. I have apologized multiple times. I’ve informed them I never plan to post on that subreddit ever again. I’ve suggested a temporary ban instead, like 1 week would be fine. But nothing seems to get through to them. How can they be so completely inflexible?

We could build Sword Art Online, but I think we all know that this technology will be used to beam ads directly into your head 24/7. You won’t be able to sleep because of the penis enhancement ads.

I have to completely disagree. I spent a long time building up karma on my account, thousands of posts, contributing to my favorite communities, and one snarky comment on a ragebait post got my account banned by a reddit admin on a power trip. Multiple appeals later, it’s still banned. There’s no sensible reason to justify a site-wide permaban on an account with such a long history of constructive posts for one snarky post that caused someone to be insulted.

Their admins are absolutely deranged and yes it completely ruins the entire website. It’s basically insufferable to continue using reddit. The power-tripping admins have flushed the entire site down the toilet. Lemmy is the best alternative at the moment, and supposedly it should be basically impossible to get banned from all of lemmy. I think the worst you can get here is an instance ban? 513 instances so far. You would have your work cut out for you.
