Ruud is Dutch. FediDB says the server is in the US. So maybe we’re talking about two different things.

FediDB says it’s located in US.

I think you’re missing Lemmy.world.
Easily the biggest, and US based.

It’s the original instance, run by the main Lemmy creators.

The full range is about 5.5%. So while it is misleading, a 5% drop in a graph that consistent isn’t nothing. Something substantial absolutly changed

I think I prefer eXcretions

Basically, RSS as you said, is a one way street. There is no feedback. It’s not so much communication, but broadcasting.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

None of the major Fediverse projects have real monetization.
Why single out PeerTube?

Why would you expect monetization at this point?

Do you think it should be monetized, or are you just surprised it hasn’t been?

What form of monetization are you imagining?

• Link
• Lynk
• Lync
• Linker
• Linkist
• LinkPage
• PageSave
• PageSaver
• PageList
• SavePage
• WebMarks
• Webory (WebMemory)
• Webist

Just some quick ideas. Some may be used already. I didn’t bother checking.

• Netmarks

Until their users found out.

Even an audit is really just someone else saying “trust me bro”. You have some level of trust.

My confidence is inversely proportional to any evidence you have to the contrary.

They don’t keep a search history. Your searches aren’t tied to anything, because they aren’t even saved. They don’t have any reason to save them since they aren’t selling any targeted ads.

That’s why all the top results on every search are actual results, instead of a bunch of ads.
Totally worth it.

Kagi does it already.

!Lemmy [stuff]

Gets you stuff from all over Lemmy

I like the general idea!

Specific implementation would make all the difference. The percentage splitting would have to be very graphical to be intuitive and used by most. And artists would need a way to sign up once, and be paid from all instances.

It sounds like a massive project. But one that may be worth while.

Yes exactly.

You can pay to fund the instance you use. To help ensure it’s worth the time of whoever is managing it.

It’s how Communick works. Or is hoped to work. It seems difficult to convince fedizins to pay for this great stuff.

That’s just saying you can claim copyright if you lie about authorship. The problem then is, you may step into the realm of fraud.

That’s already been ruled on once.

A recent lawsuit challenged the human-authorship requirement in the context of works purportedly “authored” by AI. In June 2022, Stephen Thaler sued the Copyright Office for denying his application to register a visual artwork that he claims was authored “autonomously” by an AI program called the Creativity Machine. Dr. Thaler argued that human authorship is not required by the Copyright Act. On August 18, 2023, a federal district court granted summary judgment in favor of the Copyright Office. The court held that “human authorship is an essential part of a valid copyright claim,” reasoning that only human authors need copyright as an incentive to create works. Dr. Thaler has stated that he plans to appeal the decision.

Why would companies care about copyright of the output? The value is in the tool to create it. The whole issue to me revolves around the AI company profiting on it’s service. A service built on a massive library of copyrighted works. It seems clear to me, a large portion of their revenue should go equally to the owners of the works in their database.

That statements literally means [she want’s to] [because she can].
As in, the ability is driving the desire.

But that’s not how it works. We’re able to do lots of things we don’t want to.
The desire might not come from anything identifiable. The existence of desire is it’s self the reason. The ability isn’t the reason.

Does that make sense? It’s a nuanced difference for sure. But an important one logically.
