They’ve said they are working on integration with other apps, and have said the ultimate goal is the AI could create its own interface for any app. I dunno if that’s gonna happen but if it did it would be closer to an actual assistant, imagine “rabbit, log onto my work schedule app and check my vacation hours” or “rabbit, compare prices for a SanDisk 256 gig memory card on Amazon, eBay, and Newegg”.

More than likely it’ll just fuck it all up but that’s the dream I think.

Maybe the family brought it in…

I don’t speak German.

Or I could block German language instances. Why do you care what I block?

I mean yeah, some might use the feature to create an echo chamber for themselves and all the toxicity that can bring is a concern, the alternative is a user experience plagued with content you literally cannot read. I exclusively browse via an app, Google Translate isn’t an option. I have no problem with Germans, if they want to contribute to discussion on English speaking instances- great, I want to see their contributions. I’d just like the ability to cut content that I will never interact with.

The concern that people are going to block instances and complain about the death of Lemmy due to a lack of content feels a bit like a straw man. One could argue that the inability to control content they consume might drive people away and lead to the death of Lemmy. That seems just as plausible but equally unfounded.

I’m sympathetic to your concerns but if someone wants to dodge an instance they don’t want to view for whatever reason they should be able to do that. Blocking posts on an instance from showing up in your ‘all’ feed seems reasonable however, I agree, the members of that instance should be excluded from blanket blocks.

Edit- also, sorry you got downvoted. And I’ll look around for the language options. Thanks.

I’ve got “English” already set so not sure what I’m doing wrong.
