UI and UX is important

It is important, but worrying about UX instead of shipping is the easiest way to avoid shipping. If you don’t agree, just check Craigslist, ebay and many other profitable companies with complete outdated frontends.

I very much doubt the AI use is confined to the frontend.

We can only be sure if/when they open the backend code.

why the frontend fine to vibe code while other stuff is not?

Many reasons:

• frontend code has a lot less variability than backend
• users already expect some common UI/UX, and AI has been trained on these so much that it rarely gets the basics wrong.
• UI code is not part of the core business
• buggy frontends may be bad to users, but they are a lot less likely to cause catastrophic errors in the whole system.
• lots of developers do not care about frontend and think that it’s s just about “making it pretty”, so they are happy to delegate this work to a clanker.

the core is closed for anti-abuse reasons

That’s a terrible, horrible, no-good, really bad excuse for not releasing the code. Better be upfront and admit that you don’t want to share the code.

Media loads from the source.

This might actually be a problem. If your instance gets popular, you might end up overloading a remote server. Add a proper caching proxy, or even better look into content-addressable systems to allow multiple servers to share the load.

The elitism is in thinking that using AI for some parts of the application (the frontend) nullifies the whole project.

Why does your comment smell of elitism?

Yeah, it would be better if the code was FOSS. But at least it was released, the author seems to know the important parts of AP integration and is asking for constructive feedback. This is one million times better than developers who keep their purely organic, 100% fair trade software projects in a virtual shelf for fear of being criticized.

There are Matrix channels for moderators to coordinate and share this info, next time it would be better to use those channels instead of possibly baiting spammers into posting here as well.

Don’t overthink and just publish it.

the content won’t get pulled. If no new content is getting pulled, no one will interact with the community.

This is a feature, not a bug.

You are trying to solve the issue of discovery by replicating the whole fediverse to your instance local database.

That’s a separate conversation to be had, but a network that is only meant for authenticated users can certainly offer better protections than a protocol where everything is openly published and distributed to the whole public internet.

I think someone didn’t do the research neded. (sic)

You certainly didn’t.

• Plenty of artists are worried about AI being trained on their data. No fediverse “platform” protects from it.
• Plenty of artists want to have a way to monetize their work. No fediverse “platform” does it. The one that did try to do it (sub.club) shut down for insufficient interest

“Good moderation” takes effort and time, which most people running their own blogs might not be interested in dealing with. Unless you are offering yourself to do “good moderation” for people in exchange of access to their comment section, adding a paywall as a barrier is a perfectly valid approach.

Kind of ironic allowing only paid users to comment on a blog talking about the Fediverse.

It is a great way to avoid spam bots.

The best way to see whether it would work is by checking how the actor from flipboard is presented. Go to https://browser.pub/@how-to-watch-cbssports@flipboard.com and tou will see that it does not have the attributes that Lemmy expects.

There is no need to change activitypub for that. Relays already do exactly what you are asking.

Rebased is just a fork of Pleroma. It is meant to work as a microblogging application and last I checked it didn’t do anything too different from Mastodon.

Resources they themselves were producing ?

Not enough to sustain itself. This is what I meant in the beginning with “not able to afford its own army”. They were clearly unable to produce enough total wealth to share and distribute among the people.

Working with each other, for each other, works.

Only if you are willing to accept medieval-age levels of economic output, and only for small scale populations who are completely isolated who have somewhat equal access to available resources.

but it has brought enough progress

No, it didn’t. It’s very easy to see progress in the short term if you are sacrificing the long-term. The “free school for everyone” was not really free, it was sustained by the Commune taking resources from outside, but sooner or later they would run out of Other People’s Money.

Then maybe we shouldn’t try to have large-spanning entities.

Yes, agreed. This is one of the reasons that I don’t like to see the Fediverse as a bunch of “platforms” and would prefer to have it working as a proper decentralized web.

Just like internet services.

Internet services only work because everyone speaks the same language/protocols, which is only achievable with a large centralized authority, or with a network where peers do no trust each other (blockchain-style).

defense is not the most basic role of society

Not the basic role, but it is one of the most basic ones.

point of view at odds with the whole concept of what the Commune is about

You are projecting. You wish that people could live in peace and harmony and that followed the “concept” of the Commune. I am just pointing out that - as noble and good their ideals were - the Commune catastrophically failed when it was put into practice and had to face the reality of the world.

If the economic science itself doesn’t account for what is the goal here.

It shows a lot of hubris to talk about “goals” for society at large. It can work for a small group of people with a shared view and unchallenged leadership (like a small corporation or a family clan), but try living like that in anything larger than a small village and you will quickly see that the system is not sustainable. The Commune of Paris is only one of many examples.

We are talking about economic systems. If the system is not able to keep even the most basic of roles of organized society (defense), it has failed.

practiced in the Commune de Paris

The one who couldn’t even afford the upkeep of its armed forces?
