But the app itself has already been deemed inappropriate and harmful to the consumer, on its own merits and not related to Tate himself. Equating this to removal of free speech is a false equivalency, that right is not being infringed on and is the wrong argument to be having. Tate has plenty more platforms to freely spew his misogynistic BS.
Chatgpt creating incorrect feedback loops like this is one of my main concerns about AI being used so prevalently. This and original thoughts disappearing because every new content in the web is generated by AI and not by a human.

Any plans to improve the sorting algorithm so that there’s a good balance of fresh posts at the top that’s also fairly active? And to help promote smaller communities that would have otherwise been dominated by the posts from bigger instances.
Any concerns about duplicate communities across multiple instances? People have made the argument that it’s like having different flavors of subreddits on Reddit, but it’s a flawed analogy. Individual instances have incentive to make their own communities flourish, whether or not there’s a duplicate already available.
It’s probably the closest thing to reddit right now (even down to the shitposting memes unfortunately) but I wouldn’t say it has the same feel quite yet. I still find the distributed nature confusing (am I in the lemmy.world’s technology community, or lemmy.ml’s? How do I get to beehaws instance?) and navigating between instances is a chore. I realize though that situation is very fluid and if users can get over the hump and start investing into their communities and lemmy as a technology it can get better.
Also I rely on mobile apps to navigate the majority of the time. There are some decent ones out there now, like Connect for Android. But it definitely is still buggy, and is not as fluid as my experience with Relay for reddit. But again, nothing that can’t be fixed.
Some of my favorite subreddits still hasn’t shown up yet as communities in any of the major lemmy instances, and I honestly feel it’s going to take a very long time for that to happen for some of the more niche ones. The user base I honestly believe will never reach even close to reddit’s numbers.
So in a nutshell, good promise, closest thing to reddit, but still has a long way to go.
Utopia would be one where humans can focus on art and science to advance our race while the mundane work of running a society is all automated. Stuff like this is not enough, but it seems like a step in the right direction where income remains the same to maintain a standard of living while still producing the same output
