I agree. It's important to remember the only "conspiracy" is making money and keeping people on the platform. That said, it will cause people to go down rabbit holes. The solution isn't as simple as "show people content they disagree with" because they either ignore it or it creates another rabbit hole. For example, it would mean that progressives start getting bombarded with Tim Pool videos. I don't believe Tim is intentionally "alt right" but that's exactly why his videos are the most dangerous. They consist of nothing but conservative rage bait with a veneer of progressiveness that allows his viewers to believe they aren't being manipulated.

Each should stay in their lane. There's already enough trouble when CMV essentially becomes unpopular opinion.

It's better to share links then it is for everyone to constantly substitute the article with their spin on it. Youtube has turned into thousands of "commentators" summarizing the original article with their personal opinions. One could argue that it amounts to content theft.

I've heard it used for a long time.

The downside means fewer eyes on questions and less content on niece communities.

The federated nature means that instances and users can break away from other instances that turn toxic. The current structure is very centered around the home instance with federation being more of an SSO that uses the page of the home instance as a client.

The technocrats want nothing more then to cast FUD on to federated platforms. Mastodon worked in their favor when it meant getting people away from right wing Twitter but no doubt they'd find a reason to turn on it later. Expect news reports about harmful misinformation spreading through federated sites.

I would be surprised if the establishment wasn't doing stuff like this.

Tim Pool is blaming the Russians.

If they're actually behind it:

Based

Pornhub left up underage child rape videos until they were very publicly called out for it.

Porn is also a method of bourgeois oppression. The corporate elites want you to be an easily controlled consoomer.

Pornhub also knowingly hosted child porn. Ready or Not put them on blast for it when you raid a company called "Mindjot" for distributing child porn.

It's still weird to sexualize children. It's less weird when it's teenagers and everyone is of age but it's a weird thing to engage in constantly.

For the health of the internet you want people scattered across millions of websites

I don't understand this point. Federation brings everyone together. I don't understand why it's bad for everyone to spread out.

Preventing congregation weakens the effectiveness of disinformation and propaganda campaigns, and protects against bullying

This is a contradiction. This is an argument for having everyone decentralized rather then together in massive content silos.

Why is federation bad? It's the only way to decentralize without having everyone scattered across millions of sites.

The days prior to 2014 are gone and for the most part, the overwhelming majority of people don't want to register across dozens of sites. Everyone naturally gravitates toward massive content silos where they can get everything in one place.

Do you mean the other pictures or the first one?

There's not really much to it, and that's a problem with trying to get good AI art. A lot of it is "soulless" and it takes time to play around and get good results.

I think I just started playing with the AI to see if I could get a photograph style of image from a drawing and it was after the fact that I realized after playing around with it that I could use a few of the images.

I guess I could just share the image without incorporating it into the story.

This is the original wojak that I used for the input:

These are a few examples of the other images generated:

It reminds me of slavaboos breathing through asbestos gas mask filters.

It turned into Yahoo Answers when JBP promoted it.

There's another glitch where you mass produce shitty guns and then take them to buybacks run by the server moderators. You need to be careful because the moderators will try to trick you into admitting that you made the guns for the buyback, which requires joining a manufacturer's guild and you can get banned for it. You have to play it off like you just make them constantly and had them sitting around.
