Not a programmer, so can't comment on API tools, but I have to be annoying and urge you to use alternative 'change my mind' templates, as the original creates exposure for a ghoulish bigot. Here are some alternatives: https://rimgo.vern.cc/gallery/sko7Q9W

Thanks for this.

I don't know who this man is, I used to know, but I don't care anyway. If he's such a bigot, it seems fine that his legacy is reduced to a meme, doesn't it?

[-] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Why grant him a legacy at all? Especially since the original of that meme is a tool of his bigotry.

The only people keeping his legacy alive are those who incessantly bitch about the meme template. Without you, he would just be the “‘change my mind’ meme guy.”

I don't understand your logic there. Being the "'change my mind' meme guy" is a legacy. Using the meme template is keeping the legacy alive. Even if it was just the response to the meme keeping his legacy alive, then surely you wouldn't use the meme template anyway, so they have nothing to respond to?

This is assuming you DON'T want him to be easily searched by people wanting to know more about the meme, thus exposing them to his hateful rhetoric, of which the original meme is a blatant example.

His legacy should be reduced to dust.

I find quite funny that even with their anti ai shield their website is still dying

But anyway, alternatively, just make your own template with other media. Be creative

What makes you say it's dying?

[-] RustyNova@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Oh. It was really slow earlier
