Professional industrial and jewelry designer (here’s my Bēhance portfolio), hard-sci-fi enjoyer, cat lover and procrastinator. Started a few communities on kbin: Urban Details, Industrial Design and Jewelry Design, feel free to join if you find those interesting.
You can tip me if you like or use something I made.
I created a couple of communities that I used to post to on Reddit:
Industrial Design and Jewelry Design
I’ve been working in both fields for years and I’d like to help build up these communities within the Fediverse.
Whether you’re a designer working in one of those areas, or are simply interested in them, feel free to join :)
Looks like a CT scan :)
Yeah, I’ve been getting a lot pf different error messages, everything from missing tokens to random timeouts. Lemmy just isn’t ready for such an influx yet, we’ll have to give it time.
This is a great write up, but what I don’t get is why do these companies stick to these idiotic measures instead of turning to their users for help in an open dialogue.
Like, I get that Reddit needs to make profit, and I actually wouldn’t have minded paying for Reddit premium to use my api key with Apollo. Instead Reddit made me and I’d guess a lot of people like me leave and never want to return. Just left with a lingering bitter aftertaste.
Did they think that they wouldn’t get enough funding that way? Well then how about giving it a test run to see if it works? Didn’t work? Well how about asking your users what they might be missing and what they might want to be more happy to subscribe, and adding features/addressing those issues? Working with developers to establish a revenue sharing agreement? There were so many alternative paths.
No, apparently nfts and shitting on your users is where it’s at.
Have a conversation, run polls, A/B test, etc. And be transparent while you’re doing it. These tools are nothing new when developing a service. Why ignore everything?
I mean, is it really just a competence/arrogance thing alone?
What’s so bad about giving AI models something to learn on? Add LLM-tier accounts to your social media company and have at it. And fix data/traffic issues by giving users the ability use their own tokens/api keys/whatever to limit bandwidth without affecting end users as significantly as they did with current decisions.
That way you could detect and address rogue scrubbers while still working with LLM creators who are open to an honest training integration. And if your company can’t really detect the difference between users and LLM crawlers after implementing something like this, well, then those crawlers don’t really affect the company as much as the CEOs would like to pretend.
Yeah, I missed out on that outrage. What are people disliking so much about that?
I remember seeing that pop up, realizing that all this time I just had some generic username with my name and numbers, and changing it to my usual username. Were there some negative consequences to the service in general?
So I made a thing. What do you guys think? :)
Also, there are a couple more images (and in higher resolution) on this page, in case anyone’s interested.

This post was reuploaded because I accidentally deleted the image from the post, and the buttons to add it back didn’t work in any of the browsers I tried (Chrome and Safari on both desktop and iPhone). Is this a known bug or does anyone know why that is?
