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

    @acec I think it’s a mix of reasons why really;

    1. They’ve been using it for years
    2. A lot of there favourite subs are on there and they are admins of those subs giving them power
    3. A good amount of them don’t know about the Fediverse and that they could run a similar sub on the Fediverse
    4. Change, a good amount of Redditors are most likely Autistic and don’t want things to change.

      Resistance to change is not an autistic thing in this context; people just don’t want to fiddle with things that work.

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

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

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

    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.

    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…
