    Ne partons pas fâchés, Raphaël. Dans un long entretien accordé à L’Équipe ce mercredi, le néoretraité Raphaël Varane prend…

    Raphael Varane: "There is much less creativity in football, fewer geniuses on the pitch. Everything is robotic, there are game patterns that make it difficult to shake up a team’s block. There is much less freedom now. Carlo Ancelotti allows a lot of it, but the new generation of coaches allow less.

    Lemmy's number one ambassador explains why Lemmy is an effective alternative to Reddit
  • I would say it's still worth reporting. I don't follow news or politics very closely, but having propaganda reported is always useful.

    I suspect this is a major reason why lemmy isn’t more popular and growth has stalled. The core users are free software true believers and Marxist fundamentalists and want to stay among themselves.

    I don't think so. I've contacted a few mods from different subreddits to ask to create one post to talk about Lemmy, and how it could be an alternative to Reddit enshittification, all of them have been negative.

    People are not magically going to learn about Lemmy if the platform which is the most similar does not allow to talk about it: https://sopuli.xyz/post/17981609

  • It's also a governance problem as well.

    If a billionaire buys LW tomorrow for a few millions because they host most of the Lemmy active communities and users, and prevent instance migration overnight, how many users are going to go through the hassle of creating new accounts from scratch, create new communities? That could kill the platform, with the LW starting to show ads and only being compatible with an enshitiffied app, so most users would probably go back to Reddit.

    Also, there has been some concerning behaviour from LW mods, which know they can just go with it as people are already on their communities and are not going to move: https://lemmy.world/post/20947890?scrollToComments=true

  • Aside from the currently low number of users, the fact that you can have the same community in different instances means a community will never grow large enough.

    Isn't !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com an example of a community which grew large enough to become the reference?

    www.wired.com Filmmakers Are Worried About AI. Big Tech Wants Them to See ‘What's Possible’

    Amazon is hosting AI filmmaking competitions. Meta is letting directors test Movie Gen. As tech companies develop new tools, they need filmmakers to show they can be used responsibly.

    cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/45150403

    > When Hollywood’s writers and actors went on strike last year, it was, in part, because of AI. Actors didn’t care for the notion that their likenesses could be used without their permission, whether by the studios that hired them that week or by someone at home with a computer in 2040. Writers didn’t want to do punch-ups on potentially crummy AI scripts or have their words (or ideas) cannibalized by large language models that didn’t pay them a dime. > > But while some Hollywood filmmakers came out of the strikes fearful of how AI might wreck their industries, others wanted to learn more. This week, many of those filmmakers gathered in a movie theater in Culver City, California, for the inaugural Culver Cup, a generative-AI film competition sponsored by FBRC.AI and Amazon Web Services.

    !movies@lemm.ee is more active than !movies@lemmy.world in monthly active users.

    Same for !showsandmovies@lemm.ee and !television@lemmy.world, which also doesn't have any moderator besides bot accounts.

    !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com definitely outclasses any other piracy community

    !greentext@sh.itjust.works is the most active for green text

    !map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz is the best community for maps

    About mods power tripping, you can have a look at !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com . I reported there an example which shows that you can create a better community over a power tripping mod.
