  • Thank you for sharing! Now I will know where to look for something like this. I thought that if I had written it, it would be valid given that I am actually trying to inform or discuss (whether they’re still accurate). I can see how it’s kind of a weird line, but then again I didn’t know what else to do as I explained in this post and it was only like 4 or 5 posts. I probably could’ve gotten away with it if I didn’t post them the same day, but maybe not

    Related - I hope that’s just a 3d ban, not permanent, right? If I read that correctly

    A gameguides community is a good idea, someone else mentioned that. I just don’t want to create that if I can’t commit to maintaining it :/

    I’m considering throwing them into !archive@lemmyworld like someone suggested. Should I xpost into c/games or is that a bad idea? (due to 1. my first reposts being deleted then banned for 3d, and 2. the guides being not necessarily still accurate). I also might condense the 3 Control guides into 1 post, since I’d be linking them to google docs, there will be a lot more space to work with






  • It feels nice and warm, that’s for sure :) I hope it stays this way but the content grows to where I can use this as my new source of information

    Semi-related… You guys have any tips for seeing new popular posts? I have checked subscribed top week, subscribed top day, even month, and then even all for those 3. I feel like I only see new content every 3-5 days. Or is that just because we’re still growing and I’m just used to the overflow of content on reddit? lol


  • I completely agree. It makes sense that AI is not good at determining truth vs fiction. I think it’s more important for us as users to just search for information on our own, then determine the “end answer” with our own judgement after reviewing different sources and experiences (taking each individual answer with a grain of salt)

    That’s why, I personally think AI search engine won’t be the best all-rounder for all types of information that’s not niche, deep searching which is IMO better found on forum-like platforms where people (enthusiasts) share sources, their experiences, what worked, what didn’t work, and why. For AI, maybe just simple bland information, like an excel formula, or how to hot wire a car, is better


  • Yea, I sort of agree - that’s kind of why I think that doing research yourself by looking across dozens of sources, posts, and comments, then making your own judgment call is the way. Idk I guess maybe it’s just my experience, but I usually find that a comment with misinformation is downvoted to oblivion with responses as to why it’s wrong, and the most helpful solution is usually upvoted, with replies like “you’re a life saver” or “this is the real answer. thank you!!”. Obviously I don’t mean like 100% of content is like this, there will be bad content everywhere, but I take every solution with a grain of salt while looking at other solutions, and decide for myself (or maybe I misunderstood you lol)

    There are sooooooo many times, way more than I can count, that I had an INCREDIBLY niche problem (usually tech related) and bam, someone on reddit had the same issue, and either figured it out & posted the solution, or the wack solution is in the comments. I never ever find this information on other random articles or “official help threads”. This happened so much that I didn’t google a single piece of information without adding “reddit” to it

    I feel like AI would be better for simple things like an excel formula, or ordinary information? For now, at least. But, I am trying to learn more about this subject and truly see the legitimate capabilities of AI

    Then again, what do I know lol
