I have something from the fediverse to add to nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m 's post here:

This positive attitude about building stuff is really great to see on Nostr and it does not exist on the fediverse at all. Since most ActivityPub implementations are heavy it's unreasonable to expect most users to self host. So people tend to gather into communities based on their chosen instance (think: website they are actually using). The different AP implementations really only work together in spite of each other, and there's endless drama about what your chosen AP software says about you, be you a contributor, administrator, or just a user.
For example, here's some hilarious beef I saw today between Mastodon instances. The instance mastodon.art is notorious for blocking an absurd number of instances, to the point where artists looking to get commissioned work should really not post there. They wrote this blog post about how they are defederating from another growing instance because they implemented text based search (for public posts) and a few other less important complaints:

You heard that right. This is about the indexing of publicly available posts. As though it's some kind of terrible harassment tool. Remember that ActivityPub supports followers-only posts and follow approvals. Consider also this instance is for artists, who WANT to be found.
That's just drama between Mastodon instances. When it comes to the other implementations it gets even more insufferable. ActivityPub is a protocol like Nostr, but people building on Nostr actually like each other. Celebrate that.
The fediverse is like feudalism twitter but ruled by reddit mods.
You know what VN totally deserves another chance? It’s Umineko. There is an animation but its not really good. I hope they consider it for a rerun.
I’ve watched the animations but not Heavens Feel yet.
I really love that most stories happen in the 90s.
My DNS filter catches a good amount of data collection endpoint connection attempts.
It seems like a great chance for a seasonal OS reinstall.
It doesn’t look like trolling anymore. It’s more like he has a personal vendeta against them maxis and thinks and dreams about them every day.
Not a super big fan of fate in its current state (I’ve read the vns a few years ago but only finished the main route and unlimited blade works). I love the more gritty nazuverse stories like Tsukihime, Kara no Kyoukai. I heard they might be releasing another attempt at Tsukihime animation. I wonder if they’ll also do Witch of the Holy Night.
Bast away
I’d like to see a proper desktop board with memory and PCI-e slots.
By “find a good stable diffusion model” it means going to civitai.com and grabbing one of the checkpoints. Download files ending in SAFETENSORS. This is important as .bin or .pth files are basically data concatenated with python scripts.
Most researchers are just quickly exchanging picked tensors between themselves without a much of a thought about security. Anyone could add a totallynotavirus.py code over there. Safetensor format is somewhat less risky.
Another place to get models is huggingface.co.
If its images you can use the metadata to replicate and modify the results.
You mean images? Stable diffusion stores prompt, config and model information under the Properties EXIF key. However most image sites wipe that information to prevent leakage of sensible keys like location data. 4chan users use catbox.moe to share generated images since that site doesn’t touch metadata.
