Fediverse is full of ineffective activists burning each other out. Can we do better?
#Fediverse today is like plaintext email.
Whereas #ActivityPub is rich email, where we can represent anything, be it an Invoice, Order confirmation, Postal package tracker, Train ticket, Concert booking, Restaurant reservation, Shopping list, Cooking recipe, Science paper, Academic citation, Sport coverage, Adventure game ..
Wherever your fantasy goes.
I am #antiAI in the sense that the disruptive introduction of #LLM platforms into society, and damn the externalities, makes #AI utterly inhumane technology.
What I do not think is very effective, is the anti-AI #activism that involves attacking or 'ostracising' any person who uses AI or is not equally vocal in expressing negative sentiments towards the technology.
People should be pointed to all the dangers and follies of this technology, sure. But repelling all those that use AI, which is nearly everyone since AI is forced down our throat, the activism only serves to push the activist into the fringes, instead of winning people over in a growing movement.
#CALMculture is needed. Constructive activism-led movements, where people are guided on a journey from awareness to delightful #solutions. Offer a path of solution-orientation that open new opportunities, instead of just pointing out harm and laying judgment.
Grab anti-AI opportunity!
@aral curious if your poll was inspired by mine, where I took a single-person instance as the example of my #ThoughtProvoker toot..

Like in the responses to your poll it triggered a whole bunch of interesting discussion. Unfortunately all happens on a communication medium where all insights are lost tomorrow (except for those who keep records and archives, I guess :)
I think really this is an "if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail" kind of thing, which is inherent to how we evolve the app-centric fediverse. We try to hammer all forms of communication into a Microblog design.
The app platform becomes a straightjacket way of doing things as intended by its developer owners, plus a bag of features to allow variations to that for instance owners, so they can deal with a certain set of edge cases.
I'd choose the option "it depends". It is solution-specific. But there needs to be crystal clear mutual expectations and proper management thereof.
That is the nice thing of the #ThoughtProvoker hashtag. Leaves it to anyone to have and express an opinion, and those discussion hopeful input to social experience design of our collective social web. I agree with your Should/Shall/Will on the other post. Thank you for your replies.
In daily life, if you talk to someone, you have the right to remember what was said, right?
And if you don't possess photographic memory, you have the right to take notes, keep record, maintain a diary, yes?
And no one has the right to order you to forget your memories, or under normal circumstances to destroy your notes?
So if you have a single-person #fediverse instance, it is okay then to ignore #ActivityPub Delete requests to erase your memory of online public conversations you had with others?
Yes
No
Sometimes
Other..
