US appeals court rejects copyrights for AI-generated art lacking 'human' creator

I’ll take whatever good news we can get.

What do you notice about the comments on this post? https://piefed.social/post/555259

The post was made in the [email protected] community and other posts linking to the same news article were made in [email protected] and in [email protected]. 3 different posts in 3 different communities.

PieFed de-duplicates them and only shows the post once in the timeline and when viewing the post all the comments on those 3 posts are shown in one place.

The fragmentation problem is solved.

    That’s a pretty good methodology. Threads are still distinct, but all on the same page. Hopefully lemmy can implement something similair.

    I would reduce the distinctiveness of the threads, personally. Lemmy/reddit/etc commonly have separate subthreads on the topic same page, so its not like it needs to be a prominent feature that each subthread is from a different comm. Note it maybe, but less prominent seems better.

      A couple of issues with little to no distinction:

      • Community rules. If 4 communities were in the same thread at once this would be harder for moderators to moderate, and for users to follow the rules/report. Since they can’t tell easily from which thread this comment comes from

      • Threads are not always crossposted with the same context. Example:

      • https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/40368868

      • https://reddthat.com/post/37396001

      These threads are posted in different communities, their comment sections would be very different

    Firstly: Thank you for your work! <3

    It’s pretty hard to tell where the split is when you’re in a big comment section.

    So i updated the fxomt theme to make it easier to tell the split: https://pub.microbin.eu/upload/eel-lion-turtle Difference:

    I think the default theme definitely needs to have that solved, though.

    I only see one title and one post body; what happens if 3 people share the same link but with 3 different titles and description bodies?

    Do they get merged, does one get arbitrarily selected, or does this only work on posts with identical link+title+body?

    Hmm I guess some people might like this but I’d be a bit afraid of mixing different communities just because the same link is posted in them. Different communities might have different rules and different expectations for participation and such. This kind of mixes the different communities together.

    Like imagine someone posts a link to an article to [email protected] (Feddit.dk news community), which is already posted in [email protected]. If I understand correctly, I’d then see comments from both communities on the same page? But the comments on Feddit.dk will be in Danish and will probably largely be about how the news story affects Denmark, while the comments on lemmy.world will be in English and from a more international perspective. But muddling these things together takes away the “identity” of the community and suddenly you’ll be seeing stuff you maybe won’t want to see (i.e. danish comments for instance if you are not danish).

    I think there at least should be a user preference to disable this, and an option for moderators to opt out of this, to avoid the above situation.

    That is excellent! I had suggested something similar for lemmy frontend devs to implement, but I love to see it natively on piefed.

    What happens when three different users post libks to the same article? Or when the test is different? Basically how do you match these posts?

      They are matched by the url of where the post links to. So this only works for posts that have a url, not discussion or image posts.

    Piefed keeps leading the charge eh? With every new feature added I wish even more that there was a mobile app for it. Well, that or Lemmy devs taking some inspiration and implementing something similar, I guess.
