Hard to imagine a signal that a website is a rugpull more intense than banning users for trying to delete their own posts
Like just incredible "burning the future to power the present" energy here
@mcc So developers will stop sharing information on #StackOverflow and future #Copilot and friends will be forever stuck in the past, answering questions about historically relevant frameworks and languages.
#LLM #StuckOverflow
@chris Yeah. But for this to be true, we need a Stack Overflow replacement. And when Reddit went evil, the move to Lemmy doesn't seem to have succeeded as well as the move from Twitter to Mastodon.
@BillySmith @chris Don't look at me. I was part of the exodus from SlashDot to Kuro5hin. Which I thought actually went pretty well actually
@mcc @BillySmith Good times. Though the husk of slashdot is still around but Kuro5hin is not :-/
@chris @BillySmith Yes, which is real unfortunate because some of my best writing is now offline !!! :(
@mcc @BillySmith This is really sad, I’m sorry.
It shows again that information can only persist if it is copied and spread.
That’s why publishing on corporate platform, exclusively is such a bad idea. Just imagine youtube would really successfully lock ‘their’ content away one day.
Louis Rossman is working on software to get around this. :D
@BillySmith @mcc On top of storing a lot of text over the years I’ve been downloading most videos I consider exceptional for a while. I tried to extend this to everything that I read/watched using tools like https://archivebox.io but this still a crutch because it will only be archived for myself. To me something like peertube looks very interesting as a concept.
I've done the same.
When i looked at the streaming approach, i could see the future enshittification.

@BillySmith @mcc To me it’s interesting that something that was so interesting to me 25 years ago completely vanished from my perception today. I may remember slashdot about 4 times a year or less. To be fair I may think of kuro5hin about 5 times, but only because I mention “Metamorphosis of prime intellect” to someone, a #SciFi story that was published there.
@mcc every couple years I bother Rusty to post the K5 archive. Nothing yet!
@nightclaw it would be great even if just individual users could get a data takeout of our posted content tbh
