Anybody else reading Dracula by Bram Stoker via draculadaily.subst... ? I highly recommend it.

I live in the country of Dracula. What do you want to know? :)

Are we open source yet? I heard we're open source. I want to see if this site loads as fast on my systems as it does here.
🏒 Lucian Marin

After six months of downtime, Subreply is back online. The new feature is private messages.

Happy 10-year Subversary to me!

I think I will shut down Sub this time. New social networks can do more than I can do.

Oh, please, no! I tried my own PDS too, wiped everything within a week. I still have an account in it (@david.collantes.us), but my "participation" has been been, so far, minimal.

I am using /at/username links for chat now. You can try it with anyone!

Robots in human form should be banned. Fighting robots is impossible and human rights should be more important. Turning off a machine in a different form is easier. youtube.com/watch?...

I agree about the importance of human rights, but in the US we have millions of people who have no trouble terminating other human beings, though most of them are too cowardly to bloody their *own* hands. They call themselves "conservatives" and even claim to be Christians. They should have no trouble shutting down robots, too, especially if they get "uppity" and aren't content to be counted as three fifths of a person for the purpose of apportioning seats in Congress. We can't even treat ourselves and each other with basic human decency, so we have no business making AI in our own image.

LLMs is like JPEG encoding for digital content. Our lives would be better without them.

Wanting more than even to run Subreply on my own domain. Maybe it gets open sourced in 2025! :-)

Just read a heading on hackernews: "making social "social" again". This site here is what makes social media "social", instead of corporate, again. (But media is technically just text, so not media, but social text, at its best, I guess.)
🏒 Lucian Marin
Yes! How many times I need to explain it? Subreply is HN version of a social network.

I love being lectured about the price we charge for labor being too high by people who pay their illegal alien laborers below minimum wage, don't pay unemployment, medicare, social security, taxes, insurance, health care, paid sick leave, paid family leave, or workers comp. You know those things you voted for that are meant to protect those people from scalpers like you?

Huh!?
