Ich liebe einfach, die Seiten, die sich an die Impressumspflicht halten.

@alex_p_roe Yeah, I recognised that too. When following the link on the bottom "Impressum", the site name changed to "publisher" instead of imprint since publisher is more known to be used in a well, publishing context.

@alex_p_roe Interesting. Would you say publisher has the same legal meaning as imprint in that context?

@jill @hpod16 @FediTips Yes, publisher in general parlance in the past would be a company that prints books. Via Wikipedia: Publishing is the process of making information, literature, music, software, and other content, physical or digital, available to the public for sale or free of charge. DeepL is not wrong to use the word.

@alex_p_roe That`s not quite what I was asking, I meant... offline now.

@hpod16 I saw that! It seems like social media was a really valuable way to stay connected with "home" and find a sense of identity and belonging when you were young, and maybe the algorithms and changes in the USA tech culture have been off-putting.

@FediTips @alex_p_roe I think "AI" gets a bad name too easily these days, because everyone treats it as synonymous with LLMs like Chat GPT. You can be skeptical of LLMs and generative AI, but still appreciate many technologies that rely on machine learning that have done great things for humanity, like discover new medicines, or make translation better.
But that's a topic for a whole new thread...@hpod16 @FediTips @alex_p_roe My usual view of this is to think of the different topics covered in e.g. Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach, or in university courses labelled "AI".
Even LLMs can be good tools, if properly trained and used. But no, what we get from the same marketing trends that call it "AI" is using it as a generic global solution for everythingTM, which I'd argue is using it wrong.
When I'm trying to refer to it unambiguously, I also tend to use "Generative AI", or perhaps the shorter "GenAI".
(There's also "Generative Autocomplete", and I tend to also think of "GIGO". And now it seems Satya Nadella of Microsoft is boosting the use of "slop".)

Here's my first Mastodon post!
My mission out here? To understand and promote Mastodon, the only large European social media platform (to my knowledge).
How can we make more Europeans come to the Fediverse?@hpod16
"To understand Mastodon" (Fediverse):If I'd follow you, I'd get all your posts in my feed.
Unlike other platforms, no algorithm filters for "relevance".
So, if I can't handle 30 toots per day from just one person, I can't follow you, in which case I get 0.In other words, too many toots will decrease your visibility. A paradox probably unique to the Fediverse.
Hashtags can solve the issue. People can follow the tag, and you decide the subset of toots they will see.

@Richerpacker
Or, the ones who post 30 toots per day may learn to use the "quiet public" privacy setting

@rainer @echopapa @hpod16 Marketing can work if you do it right. Case in point: https://mastodon.social/@buersten/115932522260107841
Don't use marketingspeak. Be a person and part of the community.
-
@hpod16 Get politicians to move here. Journalists will follow. Mainstream folks won't come here before we have companies, brands and influencers and even in that case, it's probably through something like Threads. They're hooked on ads and outrage algorithms.
-
@leanderlindahl they did but admittedly I haven’t looked into them yet. It’s way past my bedtime. 🥱
So that sounds like a Monday endeavour to me.
Thanks for the reco! -

Bookmarked.
This is the type of marketing I like. Currently I don't need new brooms, but now I know there's a German company which produces these kind of things, prices are ok, And some products are quite funny like the coloured brooms.
So in case if I should need some useful gifts, I know where to order now.

@gagagoogle @hpod16 @Mastodon Spammers like to use undermaintained/unmaintained servers as a door into the Fediverse. I am running a script to silence/block servers running old software, that's > 2500 servers autoblocked
For improving moderation support, maybe the EU could help fund IFTAS https://about.iftas.org/
