Content (images, audio, text…) generated by GenAI. It’s slop not quality-wise, but because it’s mass-produced (as opposed to artisanal creations).

Not all slop is AI-generated, though - we had mass-produced content before GenAI, too. GenAI is just turning it up to eleven.

Hopefully that’s just a joke and he understands that this is just to put the (literally) astronomical amount of gold on that asteroid in scale.

Am happy for you and hoping for the best of you in the future :D

I don’t know enough about those instances’ leaders to guess whether they’re also misled by propaganda or knowingly supporting these dictatorships and their actions.

How about a desktop client?

If the line changes altitude upward at some point, that’s uplifting.

Not to mention the escalators.

Well, maybe they had some good points.

I don’t know, but there must be something making people too scared to switch from Reddit /j

I’m still in the process of abandoning Reddit and barely started moving from Discord. Almost completely done with Facebook, though, and deleted Twitter while it was still Twitter.

YouTube will probably be the hardest to replace, and I’ll stay on Bluesky alongside Mastodon for a while.

I guess the hard-core fedi users are naturally overrepresented because they’re posting here a lot more often than others.

I think we might be having a misunderstanding. I thought of “tankies” as denizens of lemmy.ml and similar places, likely not even being Russian or Chinese themselves or living there.

I’m pretty sure you are right about Chinese and Russian imperialism. However, the average person anywhere is not a knowing supporter of imperialism themselves… that’s where propaganda comes into play.

…they are the enemy, they hate all that is good and just in the world, all they know is war and submission

I don’t think even Trump supporters are that horrible people. At worst, tankies are falling for Russian/Chinese/etc… propaganda, possibly due to overcorrecting from American propaganda. None of us are immune to propaganda.

I just want to hug him and tell him and anyone his age that “teenage/school years are the best years of your life” is a bold-faced LIE.

It gets better.

It gets WAY better.

We need to sexualise the metric system.

Because “right” and “good at winning debates” do not necessarily correlate.

I can’t win arguments because I’m bad at arguments.

By that logic, I would probably end up changing my beliefs every week or so or end up believing something absurd because someone who believes it is good at sophistry.

But then again, this is also why I try not to argue much. It’s a waste of time and just makes everything worse.

I will, however, hear people out if I think they might have some good points.

But if we can get the Alex Jones crowd on our side, that might include the Epstein administration :P

Get a better decibel meter, then?
