  • They’re humans using brains and not algorithms trained to copy and paste

    If you can keep putting artists out of work on your consciousness then sure, but some of us actually have morals guiding us.

    The human bases the new piece off of it, inspiration.

    The AI directly uses portions of the existing art. We get onto humans just the same who do that.

    AI isn’t conscious, it can’t think, it can’t use it as “inspiration”, that is the entire point.

    People who have abolutely 0 idea what art is about just get feral over this “tech” and beat down artists are absolutely selfish.







  • If you deactivate your Facebook account (not delete) you can make it where you can only access Facebook Messenger, but you don’t have a public facing Facebook account. That way you only get the messaging side of it, minimizing the data they can collect on you. The account still exists but you give them less data. Giving bogus data doesn’t help as much as not giving it at all, being as generic as possible, since buyers pay more for targeted data regardless of the content.

    I wouldn’t leave those posts up if you’re volunteering for a charity regardless.





  • The place to go for this is r/redditrequest on reddit, that’s a subreddit to request mod privilages for subreddits and Reddit admins will decide if they’ll give it to you or not based on a few criteria.

    Usually if you’re an active productive member of a subreddit they’ll give it to you if the existing mods show no signs of activity (including just removing posts or comments, reddit admins consider that activity for the purpose of letting them keep the subreddit)


  • One way to think of it is to think of each instance as a person/account, and every instance that they federate with is someone they follow, and anyone that they’re defederated with is someone they’ve blocked.

    So if one instance follows (federates) with another, that instances users will see posts and users from that other instance.

    If an instance blocks (defederates) with another, it prevents the instance from sending or receiving any new posts or comments with the blocked instance, cutting all communication. In the case of Poast at the top of the list, 1474 instances decided to block it and prevent any new posts or comments from that instance showing up to their users.

    Instances that aren’t explicitly federated or defederated yet (unknown) are sort of in a limbo, they won’t be seen at all by any users unless someone from either instance actively searches for a community from the other vir via a direct community link in the searchbox, then those server will follow (federate) with each other.

    I hope that made sense, I’m trying to think of better ways to word this but I’m not sure if it’s a good explanation or not.
