Solo dev. Building a Reddit alternative that doesn't sell your posts to train AI. Posting the whole journey.

I need followers

[Smashr @SmashrCom]

@AdrianCInvests I would short Reddit

[Smashr @SmashrCom]

@bradvin Posting on reddit is a great way to get demotivated instantly

[Smashr @SmashrCom]

@the_moral_abc Would make more sense to have it flag posts or comments. Kind of a triage, to which mods can then act

There is this meme that the longer you are in software development, the more you want to become a farmer. I see some truth in that. I wonder if the same would happen to the world in general. The more everyone gets exposed to Ai slop, the stronger the call of the farm?

[Smashr @SmashrCom]

It really is

@Polymarket Reddit is to millennials what Facebook is to boomers

[Smashr @SmashrCom]

Current state of affairs

[Smashr @SmashrCom]

@pcshipp Why?

[Smashr @SmashrCom]

@tomshardware Bans non english speakers or bans non english speaking?

[Smashr @SmashrCom]

It would work great in combination with passkeys

At this point I'd almost say, design your sites as if proof of personhood is going to happen, because imo it will.

Bought a 57 Inch Odyssey Neo G9 a while back. Can recommend, especially when you're working with AI a lot (which you probably will be I'm guessing). Insanely big monitor though.

@pcshipp What is the alternative?

[Smashr @SmashrCom]

Are we going to see the rise of anti Ai quality labels? Oxfam but for tech

@johncarl @DaveShapi @grok What does open mean for you

[Smashr @SmashrCom]

@johncarl @DaveShapi @grok We are trying to get traction, feedback is welcome. Still struggling with the network effect now

[Smashr @SmashrCom]

@0x0SojalSec What kind of credentials do these mods have 🤔

[Smashr @SmashrCom]

@Winterrose @tekbog Democratic voting on Ai rules. Not sure that would work IRL

[Smashr @SmashrCom]

Although it could introduce other democratic problems

[Smashr @SmashrCom]

Imagine anonymous verified credentials (Eg using personhood credentials PHC), combined with democratic voting on moderation decisions, combined with Ai. That would get rid of eg the dumb /r/opensource mod decision that's playing out now? 🤔
