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

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.

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

Never really understood the hate for AntiWork, also never really visited it that much though.

I remember some user posting about how their boss made them like barbeque once a week, and a few comments were about how somebody should crosspost it to r/antiwork, and somehow they’d find a way to hate on it. Then when it was crossposted the comments were all positive, sharing how their bosses did similar things.

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
