If only there was a way to distinguish between the artist and the art… but since both are always the same, it will for all times be impossible to enjoy the art of an artist that committed some assholery.

Wait till people figure out what DaVinci, Rembrandt, Mozart, Picasso did and say when they were still alive, young, inexperienced and horny. Yes! Horny! Despite their talent they were ordinary people, young men with dicks! We’re going to have to empty the whole effing Louvre after finding out.

Beach access must be a fucking human right! Beaches must remain public property and public property must be accessible by the public. It must not be that billionaires claim such a unique item like beaches all for themselves. That’s entirely unacceptable and as immoral as it gets.

Yeah, I think it still needs some sort of karma system because otherwise it would turn into another unmoderated and uncontrollable 4chan hell hole, full of off-topic spam and shit posts. I’m not sure if that’s what we want. I don’t think, moderators alone can handle that.

Hah, I mean, we have GPT/LLM. We could use AI to filter off-topic posts and spam, and hand out karma… Just a dystopic thought that popped up in my mind.

Boost for Lemmy?

Problem with a karma system, especially as it is handled over on Reddit, is that it will stifle dissent and promote circle jerking. You can vote controversial opinions out of sight even if they are totally valid but simply run contrary to popular opinions. If Lemmy got a karma system, it would have to work differently and allow for a healthy discourse.
