why reddit? (lemmy.world)

I don't get why a group of users that are willing to run their own LLMs locally and do not want to relay on centralized corporations like openAI or google prefer to discuss using a centralized site like Reddit

Maybe they don't know about Lemmy, or maybe they want to run LLMs locally for reasons other than idealism?

We only got about 40000 active users here on Lemmy. Guess most people like to see dozens of posts per day even in a niche community. I like it here. But I guess it's going to be difficult to attract users from /r/LocalLLaMA And as far as I know we haven't advertised there yet. I'm still not sure if we should...

Because it's not ideological, they just want to generate porn, which is against OpenAI TOS.

To be fair, I saw /r/LocalLLaMA referenced in a scientific paper ("bloc97" in the paper about Streaming-LLM) talking about NTK-aware RoPE scaling. Which is kind of an awesome achievement.

And to me it's fascinating that Reddit is generally friendly towards porn. I think they have started to restrict adult content with their API change but so far there are lots of corners where you can even post pictures of your member. And that's not really possible on many of the other big commercial online platforms. I wonder where they're headed in the long term.

Personally speaking, the issue isn't I don't want to rely on them, it's that I can't use them for my use case because it'd be a HIPPA violation.

The alternative is a run a local/cloud version that I control. Discussing the set up process can be done on reddit without endangering patients.

For me, I found only one group about LLM here in search. You can make Lemmy better if share another groups for similar topics since search feature doesn't work well yet.

Because reddit is a comfy echo chamber where people are banned for opposing the ruling dogmas in the subs. People love that

as opposed to any other form of communication where non-conformance is sought out

Not sure what you're saying

That everywhere gets you banned for doing exactly what you said. Hell, lemmy is full of powertripping moderators. There is a log full of bullshit one word explanations for banning people.
