LLM's and stylometry are not magic.
i write using different styles constantly.
And It's not like people are writing original long essays here all the time, for the weapons grade tools to assay anything with high confidence.

The best way to get full access to fediverse data (including e.g. voting) is to run your own instance. So what instances, do we think, are operated by bad actors, irrespective of their identity or nature❓🤔

Or to get more conspiratorial, a bad actor would need one or more big instances to collect that info without sticking out. So which big instances, do we think, would be willing to give, or sell, a "bad actor" full access❓😉
(This of course assumes that none of the big instances were created by bad actors).

In any case, if you're posting overton wrongthink™, and not doing it (pseudo-)anonymously, then you're doing it wrong. I mean, you're in a network/platform that goes as far as encouraging you to use multiple accounts, so what's stopping you from doing it right?!

ITT: Uniparty-ists thinking anyone with a brain trusts anyone of them, from any faction, current or former.

I'm not a close (or any kind of) follower of these dramas, but judging by the kind of unhinged "fans" PieFed seemed to attract, and the expressed reason(s) for that attraction, I wouldn't be surprised at all if trying to appease them for months is taking a heavy toll.

it’s not about robocalls.

Nothing was ever really about "le evil pedophiles" or "protecting children" either. Yet, using that excuse seems to work wonders with the gullible masses, including many people here, I would imagine.

Did you mean to direct this at me?

I denounce Zionism. Some Zionists are not as bad as others.

I support Zionism. Some Zionists are worse than others.

You seem to gloss over what's important (the first stipulation), by arguing for the latter stipulation, which is on the surface true, no matter how formulated. Although, the "not as bad as" formulation makes it clearer that this is a simple case of relative privation.

Mainstream politics in the west, left and right, supports Zionism. And that's what's most relevant. Everything else can be assumed a diversion, unless otherwise proven.

The Israel project was misguided from the beginning, but it could have been justified in the immediate aftermath of the holocaust. Now?

European Jews* grabbing land and displacing people in another continent to create a new faux-nation, all facilitated by the British empire (with help from the French, and the already mentioned soviets) is "justified" because they suffered a holocaust! at the hands of Nazis who actually had an agreement with Zionists before the war (yes, Nazi Germany itself was on the list of facilitators, together with soviets)!

I'm not necessarily attacking you personally btw. I'm just showing that your positioning, common among some mainstream leftists today, is neither historically informed, nor logically, intellectually, or morally consistent. This positioning, precise in its "filtering", is designed specifically to score points in the mainstream right-left political theater. A theater that has staunch Zionists in every faction, to the point where Zionism was often the easiest uniting factor one can point to.

That is not to say that all apparent opposition to Zionism in mainstream politics is fake. But whatever genuine opposition that exists out there, is an opposition to factions within Zionism, not Zionism itself. And it's often an extension of local/national factional fights within that theater.

* Many were atheist and non-religious cultural Jews btw.

And the mask is off.

Massacres in 2024 are abhorrent and a very big deal. Massacres in 1948 were unfortunate, preferably not mentioned at all.
Population displacement is abhorrent and criminal in 2024. But it was "understandable" in 1948.
Colonialism in 1948 was okay whenever it had good enough red paint!

Many of you are not against Zionism. You are specifically against the Jabotinskyists leading the Zionist entity's scene today. And the opposition itself is not that genuine. It's just a part of the moral posturing arsenal for scoring points in the right-left political theater.

"Nazi" is not a generic synonym for "bad person" or "mass murderer" or "genocider". I know it's common place, but this is the laziness I'm talking about. If we start using every word by its generic connotations or goodness/badness, then these words will no longer serve as a distinctive epistemological tool.

And there is actually a historical irony here, in the context of doing this with Zionism. The soviet union and its bolsheviks actually supported the Zionist entity in its first decade of existence, and actively so. Massacres against villagers and other events from that era didn't cause any deterrence to that support. They even went as far as making Arab communists work as what would effectively be described today as Mossad agents. This alignment only started to shift circa ~1958.

Should we call the soviets from that era "Nazis"?

If we want to principally oppose Zionism, and we should be, then we need to be educated, informed, and diligent against falling for traps like those from the mainstream right-left political theater.

I only use the free models on offer by duck.ai, and do it sparingly and in a self-contained manner. I decided that if those models are not enough for a problem, then I would probably be better off seeking a source with real authority and intelligence. They can track my anonymous private (network and browser) sessions all they want 😎, if they wish to.

(And that annoying non-cross-poster can go fuck itself. I'm deliberately posting this here because of it. So, Mission Accomplished!)

Hello.

I just noticed in one of my Firefox profiles that Mozilla auto-disabled the "Bypass Paywalls" extension after removing it from their end, which apparently happened a while ago.

I don't think I ever even used this extension, which is why I didn't catch this earlier. But now that it's banned, I definitely want it around 😉

The upstream repository also got DMCA'd. The repository of a presumably alternative (or cleaned) extension is also gone, although I found some GitHub mirrors of it (how ironic).

So, is there a maintained extension upstream I should know about?
