In my opinion, it’s okay. It’s pixel art that does its job of depicting things the player can recognize. It just looks bad. The colours in particular are… not pleasant.

A better comment would have been like “this reminds me of Technology Connections’ Alec Watson, he talks a lot about how much he hates blue LEDs. Here’s a video [link]”

It makes the same reference, but provides more context, more content, and a new point of discussion.

This kind of low effort comment should have stayed on Reddit.

Die? What is it with assuming that small instances will inevitably die? There are people out there who want small instances, they will keep them alive.

People are humanizing computer programs way too much, and thus, we have arguments like this. An AI language model is not one of those sci-fi AIs that live in spaceships and talk to the crew. AI language models do not have individuality, creativity, consciousness, or free will. They are computer programs doing math to turn inputs into outputs.

My heart aches for all the citizens living in Russia who have to live in fear because they’re ruled by a tyrant dictator. If this news is true, things will only get worse for them. I hope the people can escape, or better: live in a better Russia with leaders who treat them like human beings.

It’s wishful thinking, I know. Please stay strong, my Russian friends! Justice will be served one day!

You’re right; I deserve the downvote.

Echoing what this person said! ^

AI “”““artist””“”

That second tweet is a bit concerning, though. Let’s not forget that many ADHD meds are addicting to non-ADHD brains.

As a fellow artist, I’d love to say otherwise, but sometimes we have to admit that not all platforms are built for growing your art business. Sure, you can probably get away with plugging links to your patreon/etsy every time you share your work, but you’re not going to get very much revenue from it. You’ll be squeezing a square block into a triangular hole.

It’s not that artists aren’t welcome, it’s just that the threadiverse (and reddit by extension) wasn’t designed for the purposes you’re describing, so you’re not going to find the success you’re looking for. There’s nothing wrong with finding another platform that suits your needs better.

I’m sorry that you have such dark thoughts and negative feelings because of this :( there’s a very loud, very vocal minority of women who believe men are inherently evil (and there’s a large overlap with terfism too). But that’s just the thing, they’re a minority. Obviously much of what they say is based on truth- that’s how they persuade others to think like them- but it’s not worth listening to them because their intentions aren’t in the right place. You’re absolutely right that communities like that are bad for one’s mental health, too!

Wishing you well, stranger.

Isn’t the whole point of the fediverse to have different instances with different rules and cultures, and them all having the freedom to associate with (or to not associate with) whichever other instances they choose? Boohoo, an instance is using their freedoms in a way you aren’t! Don’t get so upset over what Beehaw chooses to do. People who agree with Beehaw will hang out there more and people who don’t will move elsewhere. This is the natural way of things, isn’t it?
