There’s some potential to it, but as threads is one of the most defederated instance, there’s hope that it’ll at worst go something like this:

1. Instance gets big and popular.
2. People running the instance get greedy and put ads on their platform.
3. People slowly start to leave the instance.
4. Other instances start to defederate them.
5. 3 and 4 becomes so bad, the instance at best becomes an undead one, at worst it completely disappears.

If he meant the anti-woke brainrot, then yes, but that itself is just shielding corporations from actual critiques. There’s a very racist and transphobic caricature that even tries to make fun of people that doesn’t blame woke creators, but monetization practices.

Issue is, gamers think the problem with games are minorities.

And of course:

This will teach those karens to stop being bitches, and to go back to the kitchen and make 6-7 kids, as they should!

Also astrology is gateway to prejudice, since a lot of racial stereotypes also involve some aspects that can be read as positive. I knew a “spiritual guy” who got into the far-right that way (plus that a lot of people don’t treat Julius Evola’s garbage literature nowhere seriously enough - they’re literally just prequel to Mein Kampf).

She still wrote a comment, therefore zombussy.

Now I need two things:

1. Wait until it becomes available.
2. Get my Zenit Helios lens cleaned in the inside and reassembly it correectly from my attempt at trying to get into it to clean it myself.

And on that day, their hearts grew three times their sizes.

Issue is, a lot of people think the only browser in existence is “google”. I even had people looking me at funny for having an e-mail address ending in outlook.com rather than the usual gmail.com, and not because of some anti-MS sentiment, but because they thought e-mail was invented by Google, hance the name “gmail”.

I personally wouldn’t mind ads, if they weren’t too obtuse and/or malware ridden.

I often turn off the adblocker for independent news sites, as theirs are less obtuse and are vetted better than just running an AI to detect nudity and/or slurs.

Wouldn’t that be a correct thing to say if Data uses singular they/them pronouns?

NIMBYs and their freedoms* to do whatever they want.

*not applied to not wanting “golf grass”, wanting a different color of paint on the house, etc.

One thing that happened is that I see AI spam farms less and less on some platforms, others are started to refusing to label theirs as such on art platforms like Pixiv, to have a wider reach (they get immediately blocked and mass reported by normal people).

Except these are very prone to false positives.

Oh great, instead of me, a machine owned by a capitalist will produce the art! /s

I actually preferred the janky days of AI (such as the uncanny Mr Incredible from the meme) compared to the modern ones.
