An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Rules:
Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.
Other Great Communities:

I'm gonna say, I don't like the use of LLMs to replace real artists, but IP law is not an appropriate vehicle to stop it happening. AIs trained on pirated material should face the consequences for that, but scraping publicly available (not the same as public domain) material is ethically no different to human artists taking inspiration from that same material. It's the output that needs to be restricted, not the input.
