What about someone generating fake imagery to create fear or anger about something?

There are a lot of ways AI art can be used to deceive.

Instagram has like over a billion users. They definitely aren’t automatically signing people up.

A site without bigots isn’t sterile

Jury is still out on Twitter. It very well could fail.

It just didn’t happen the instant Musk entered the building. This type of thing usually happens on longer timeframes. Digg died unusually fast.

I mean some people just want a social media app without Elon Musk…

You still have to create a profile on Threads when you set it up. Instagram is waaaay bigger than just 10 million users.

If an instance does off because Meta won’t defederates from it, then it probably would have died off anyway.

lol, okay

Banning white supremacy is not the same thing as making an echo chamber.

Support for Trump is inherently racist, homophobic, transphobic, and misogynistic.

I mean Reddit isn’t a predominantly right wing platform (yet)

I mean they could have also added a horizontal strip of vinyl siding to really bring it together.

Beehaw has been popular for like a week. How can there be a typical user?

We’re going to build Sentinels and Xavier is going to pay for it!
