  • Honestly if we treated each other as well as we treated dogs we'd already be in paradise.

    • Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government

  • For sure. Not that we don't have problems, but corporate overlords mining our data or censoring us for political back scratching aren't among them. That's all imma trying to say.

  • Based on the comments, I'm not so sure. Louder for those in the back.

  • Bluesky is a for-profit company that is capitalizing on the Xodus. They may be better for the time being, but the march for more and more profit will end the same as it always does. Enshittification. They are not the good guys, the fediverse is.

    • What do you think will the tech bros jump on next?

  • Agreed. My beef is mostly with generative AI, which is deeply unethical in its training and implementation.

  • Yes and that is not sustainable, eventually you gotta pay the piper. At some point you have to be profitable. LLMs are great at a very limited use case, but these tech charlatans want to shove it everywhere for everything and it pisses most of us off. I can't imagine any regular person paying for it.

  • You're assuming there will be a next time. When the AI bubble bursts, and it will, the whole economy will go down with it. AI companies are massively in debt and have a product that ranges from utter shit to kinda okay, and absolutely no sane way to monetize it. Everyone outside of tech, you know, the customers, fucking hate AI. It has stolen their work, jeopardized their livelihoods, wasted their resources and made the most insufferable asshats in history very wealthy.

  • Vendor lock in is the reason I went to a fully open source workflow like fifteen years ago. When you rely on these companies for tools, they own your work. They can jack up prices, change TOS whenever they want, paywall features, train AIs on your work, and jerk you around on a chain at their whim. I don't mind a little jank or having to do some workarounds for a certain result to keep my freedom. And also, when a new release comes out that fixes an issue ive been having, I feel grateful! In the closed ecosystem you feel entitled and resentful and powerless. It's not worth it.

  • Want to help? Plant pollinator gardens. Easy peasy. Even some pots of local wildflowers on your patio. It all helps.
