🦧 Simon Gray πŸ“ΊThat Bill Mumy episode of The Twilight Zone seems like the sales pitch off an AI service now.πŸ’»
πŸ’ Lucian Marin I run a social network all by myself for ten years before AI. Imagine what millions of people like me can do with AI.
πŸ‘½ Paul Webb We can collectively build the future we were promised.
πŸ’ Lucian Marin Other social networks are treating threads and replies differently. They show you only threads. They hide the replies. Subreply is different, it treats threads and replies equally, a reply can become a new thread.
πŸ’¬ Subreply Test push notifications.
πŸ’ Lucian Marin Elon Musk has no idea how to do software. X has become a total mess. Grok is the lamest AI model. He should stick to hardware: cars, rockets, satellites, whatever.
πŸ’ Lucian Marin Nobody comes here, except a few people. It doesn't cost much, but web is dead. Everything is an app now.
Dennis I might fulfill my promise to build an app for this social network
Zero Edge There is a massive difference between complex and robust when it comes to software... Robust is good. Complex is not.
Zero Edge Can you self host?
πŸ’ Lucian Marin I created Witness github.com/lucianm... a distributed social network that you can self host.
πŸ’ Lucian Marin The smartest thing you can do is to be healthy and live your life. Ignore AI, politics and social networks!
Pzumk πŸ’ i love unskippable ads. they're so disruptive, they help me not waste my time on algorithm driven social networks because i immediately close the app.
πŸ’ Lucian Marin I will show how much each person donated to Subreply. Every little money will turn your account into a premium one. I need $100 for hosting, $50 for two domains and another $100 for iOS developer account each year. I would also like a Codex, Claude Code or Gemini CLI subscription to turn my vision of a social network into reality. Donate at paypal.com/donate/...
πŸ’ Lucian Marin I figured out how to rank stories on news.lucianmarin.com. I check similarity ratio between a title and all other titles in the last 48 hours.
πŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸ’» Moroni What would be the role of AI in this news site?
πŸ’ Lucian Marin No AI, just a site to track AI progress. Elon Musk wanted to do a news site before buying Twitter. I offered to do it. news.lucianmarin.com is the result.
πŸ₯ Mr Well... it's official. I was asking AI for help with my software projects. Now it's writing 90% of my new code.
Pzumk 🚨 last night, warning sirens echoed across hamburg. it turned out to be a technical error but where did the police clarify it? not on any official app or website. no. on twitter. the official apps were 45-60 minutes late and everyone's (rightfully) pissed off.
fourhazzy cool
πŸ’ Lucian Marin Cooler than any other social network!
Pzumk 😷 everyone around us is sick, friends and family. luckily it hasn't caught us yet. i really don't want the two month old baby to get its first flu already.
