Wow, an actually good summary of what the problem is with Reddit

We should do an AmA with her!

Here people actually react to what I post and write. And they react to the best possible interpretation of what I wrote, not the worst. And even if we disagree, we can still have a nice conversation.

Does anyone have a good theory about why the threadiverse is so much friendlier? Is it only because it’s smaller? Is it because of the kind of people a new platform like this attracts? Because there is no karma? Maybe something else?

Made the switch 4 years ago. No regrets.

Hungarian here. It is safe to drink without boiling. People only boil water for baby formula to be extra safe.

You can also use it as a PWA, it will be just like a normal app

Can you tell us more about what they are like?

Yes, OpenAI and out of pocket. Unfortunately cheaper or self-hosted models are much worse.

It will be me 😭

I limited it to 100 summaries per day, so it won’t cost more than about $20/month in the worst case.

It can also summarize links, so it’s already useful even if there are few people posting walls of text

That’s a very interesting question! I ran two alternative versions of the prompt. The first one only includes “people”, the second one says “all people”. Here are the results:

open source, federated software connecting people across the globe, without commercial interest --q 2 --v 5.1

open source, federated software connecting all people across the globe, without commercial interest --q 2 --v 5.1

Then I re-ran my original prompt to get 4 versions for a better comparison:

Maybe there is a slight bias toward showing America or Europe if the word “free” is in the prompt, but I would need to run many more experiments to get a representative result.
