If it’s active users increased I’d be surprised, but if it’s not I wouldn’t be, most people probably don’t delete accounts when they stop using them

I don’t like when people say “AI just traces/photobashes art.” Because that simply isn’t what happens.

But I do very much wish there was some sort of opt-out process, but ultimately any attempt at that just wouldn’t work

Reddit realized that they don’t even have to try to hide the messaging. Their audience will stay, and think that they’re making a difference by saying Fuck Spez everywhere

Do you mean Mark? Or is there a Jack at Meta that I haven’t heard about

People seem to grasp onto weaknesses AI has now and say that they will have them forever, like how text AI lies, and image generation AI can’t draw hands.

But these AIs are advancing unimaginably quick, 2 years ago generated text was pretty bad, becoming pretty incoherent, and 1 year ago generated images were mostly strange mush.

Maybe I’m crazy, but I kinda doubt that this is likely to be killed off. It’s not it’s own platform like Reddit, it just takes content that’s more likely to be made by people from websites like Reddit, blogs, and other social media platforms and puts it all in one place.
But who knows with Google.

I don’t follow news with Epic much, but what do they have to do with Starfield or physical games?

Last time Bethesda said anything about the Elder Scrolls 6 they said it was in preproduction. I doubt they’ll really start working on it until Starfield is out.

Yeah, it is very possible for us to not let Meta win. Acting like the Fediverse is doomed isn’t productive at all.

A big similarity being Twitch and Reddit don’t create the content, they rely on users of the platform. Hope this becomes a message that users can’t be expendable

I think it depends on how successful the blackout is, because truthfully, most Reddit users probably don’t care about 3rd party apps, and just want to continue using Reddit, but if their favorite communities shut down indefinitely, I think there’s a chance.

But Spez also seems dead set on their plan, so only time will tell. But on the bright side, if it doesn’t we’ll see tons of new faces here
