I dont have time to read all that. The problem with Beehaw is that the admins are extremely entitled, as if we had some obligation to work for them for free. Similar to what is described in OP.

However we are consistently improving the mod tools, and accept contributions in that area. You can see in the dev updates.

What is this “stance on mod features” that you are talking about?

As a workaround you can go into the database and query directly for users with rejected application and email provided. Then write a script to email them. Getting a fix developed, reviewed, merged and deployed will take a few days in the best case. And even longer now because we are busy with lots of things.

Wow this is a great idea. You can make a pull request to link this in the Lemmy docs. Once its a bit more mature we could even merge it directly into Lemmy.

All that said, I imagine the area that China is concerned with would be AI generated content passed off as news. You can easily generate deepfake video of a politician for example, and having rules to prevent such a video being passed around as real seems prudent.

The solution to that is verifying sources and cross-referencing to make sure that its actually real. It has been possible for a very long time to edit images and videos in a way that appears real, AI just makes the process faster.

This is ridiculous, how would you even determine that a given image was created or edited with AI? And what about images that were generated with Photoshop, do they also require a watermark?

USA cant even coup countries like Bolivia or Belarus nowadays. And they already lost a war against Vietnam, number two would be the end of the United States.

Try putting it as a link in a text post instead.
