Doing this research transparently is a good idea, it will only be a matter of time before other actors will try and use LLMs to influence lemmy. Like spam, bots and farms, this is a reality the fediverse will have to deal with eventually. Better start preparing now.

If you can even call it a plan. I always chuckle at everyone trying to decipher the grand strategy behind the Trump chaos while it’s pretty obvious that it’s just absolute idiocy. No one is making any plans or thinks about actual outcomes. The utter ignorance is baffling, tbh.

I’ve been comparing PieFed to lemmy and it’s not even a close call. Accessing lemmy with an app like Thunder or Voyager is far more comfortable and efficient. Insurance choice is great, discovery is easy and the overall experience feels very polished.
