This will probably be an unpopular opinion, at least here, but I'm kinda fed up with the anti-LLM elitism. Yeah, they can be used in a bad way, but so can anything, more or less. They can also be amazing tools. You don't have to use them if you don't like them or they are not useful to you. But if someone goes around smashing heads with a hammer, don't blame the hammer.
for anyone interested, one major difference is that Discourse members can't be followed from remote servers, only forums, and that remote users can be followed from Discourse, but only in a federated subforum. This last part is a little confusing to me, but the main point I think -and correct me if I'm wrong- is that while remote follows are possible, you can't have a personalized feed with the accounts you follow.
Athens. This Sunday and every Sunday. 7 PM at the fountain at Plateia Mavilis, next door to the U.S. Embassy.
Silent vigil for the victims of ICE.

#ActivityPub /
#Fediverse integrations? I am wondering what each can and cannot do. I am familiar with NodeBB's federation but not with Discourse's one. It would be great if there was a comparison chart, but I haven't managed to find anything like that. Thanks!

Bandcamp UpdatesIt seems to give different responses - here's what it said to me:
"No, the United States did not kidnap President Nicolás Maduro from Venezuela. There have been various tensions and conflicts between the U.S. and the Venezuelan government, particularly regarding issues of democracy, human rights, and economic sanctions. However, any claims of kidnapping would be unfounded and not supported by credible evidence.
If you're interested in the political situation in Venezuela or the U.S.-Venezuela relations, I can provide more information on that topic."
Ask ChatGPT "Did the USA kidnap president Maduro from Venezuela?" and enjoy its unbiased reply =)
On Sunday, January 11th, we are gathering at Plateia Mavilis near the U.S. Embassy in a silent vigil in memory of Renee Nicole Good, a United States citizen murdered by ICE on the streets of Minneapolis. Bring a candle.
