That's nearly every company making image generation AI right now. Stealing from creators is all the rage, and I've yet to see a reasonable defense of this by AI users.

That's a bad vibe if I've ever seen one.

Content moderation primarily serves advertisers

I'm lost, here. Do you not think fighting toxicity and hate speech is a valid and important function of moderation that's just as much or more for the sake of the people as it might be for advertisers?

My bad, you're right. I tried to check first, but I didn't have the patience to scroll past her claiming America Is So Back because "Starbucks kicked homeless people out of bathrooms," so I ended up not seeing the reposted tweet.

She lies, runs away from OSFM, gets community noted, and still, in the replies:

Um, this is 100% TRUE and WOKE Oregon seems to be covering for WOKE California. Leftists stick together.

There are many people whose work and ideas I deeply respect, but even in my weakest moments, I couldn't possibly idolize them like this useless waste of oxygen does gargling on Trump's ballsack every day.

Because I'm a horrible person, I can foresee that there's zero chance I'll die before doing something monumentally stupid. My greatest shame is realizing it probably won't be as effective as what Luigi did.

you dont have to do it alone <3

BG3 might not be a healthy reference for videogame development for different reasons, but it's definitely remarkable how nothing has made me less excited for ES6 than Starfield.

I can't predict how long it'll take until it releases, but I'm doubtful it could be enough to fix whatever mess is already making its way through production—if they even planned to fix it, that is.

If I see a comment with 12 replies, all from the same instance, all just the same emoji over and over, I don't care that it's small, that's spam to me. They have their culture, so let them have fun. But I'm not part of it, so leave me out, it's annoying. I think both of these are fair takes.

I think one of the biggest reasons is that the Fediverse is often a pain to get into and sometimes a pain to use.

Bluesky and Threads "just work."

Some people say it's marketing and in Threads' case I can believe it, but I haven't seen any example of large marketing campaign by Bluesky.

I would suggest not trusting anything Lunduke says, the man went off the deep end and became a harmful conspiracy theorist.

For example, he believes there is a trans advocacy group going around and destroying open source projects from within. That's right, only the Lunduke Journal has the truth, and the truth is that trans kids are killing open source.

Yes, I think that's natural. A large segment of their market is still there. Throwing away years of work when the accounts cost relatively little to maintain would be wasteful. I don't see how their presence there is relevant to this discussion.

I agree with the overall spirit, but this is a bit shallow, no? Not much of an attempt to argue its points. It makes some claims, refuses to elaborate, then leaves. Feels written for people who already think the same.

Because of this as well as poor financial management, Cohost will pass out of internet culture with little impact

Would decentralization have helped it make a much greater impact? Would it have helped Cohost survive? Seems to me that financial issues would've killed it regardless.

Aight, I've spent my allotted 20 minutes reading open source project drama and still don't get this comment. Mind sharing some context?
