I’d love to great an openai account to try gpt4, but they are hardcore about wanting your phone number. I purchased half a dozen different phone numbers but all were rejected by their filters. A real workaround for this service is very much in need.

One thing I dislike about Lemmy so far is the amount of highly suspicious links no one has ever heard of, that are constantly being shared. Makes me as a user really paranoid to touch any links before examining the url closely, which is good practice I guess, but makes the whole content browsing process a bit stressful.

It seems like a handful of links are trying to be “open source” in terms of YouTube playbacks getting redirected or other means of copying other websites. That being said, it is getting sketchy when I’m unfamiliar with all of them.

Ideally, all links should point to the original source, with bots or client-side code changing them for those who are interested.

i like this aspect of lemmy, because it lets me get to know new independent websites and blogs :-) after all, the internet should be closer to the people and more far from the big platforms

I generally agree, but as long as there is no safe way to prevent malware spam posts (of which I reported plenty whenever I encountered them) I find it a minefield that is uncomfortable to navigate when I just want to browse some content lying in bed.
