You can say ass here

You give me a word, any word, and I show you how the root of that word is Greek.

I don’t understand what part of their statement you read as pro-LLM

I think I would have liked it better if they had cut another 60-80 minutes from it.

Is this video enormous for anyone else?

I think your point about moderation tooling is worth a bullet point on its own. I think more tools for users to stay safe and for moderators to keep their instance safe would go a long way, and that there are people who would be willing and able to donate their time implementing them.

Also, the current draft is still pretty focused on Mastodon. I think it’s worth talking more about how the problems (and solutions) are different on different platforms, or if not then talk about working on the problem for Mastodon/microblogging as opposed to “the fediverse.”

I definitely get the impulse! When there are a lot of them though, I feel like I spend as much time trying to understand the structure of the paragraph as I do reading it.

Has anyone else told you that the nested parentheses make your writing hard to read? Not a sarcastic or rhetorical question, I genuinely don’t know if I’m the only one who has a hard time with them, especially when you don’t close them lol

It would be nice to have a version here without the slurs. I can stand the obnoxious liberal takes, but there’s a line somewhere.
