@IversusAI

are you real?

@IversusAI

Hi Jessa. Nice to *virtually* meet you! 😁

@IversusAI Hi 👋 :)

While I probably won’t follow you bc I’m very much not into AI -BUT- welcome here and I hope you’ll have good time connecting with others. @drcaberry likes using generated images with her posts she might gonna be happy to learn prompt tricks.

Please use your block button without hesitation!!
If you are on iPhone you can use @mammothapp that has smart lists to follow.

Anyway, happy tooting.

@IversusAI I boost pretty much every introduction post I come across as a way to help new members gain a foothold in the community, and I think a lot of others do the same. This is exactly why 🙂

Welcome to Mastodon!

@IversusAI

Welcome!
I am sure you'll find interesting people here.  

I only hope that you won't get upset by the many people here being very critical about AI. Many have very good arguments, but you know anyway for sure much more about the issue than me.
Bringing more women/diversity in ... any (!) field is definitely a good task. Especially for important technologies that are currently handled by a very narrow demographic but have the potential to have large impact on our society.

On a general note, I love it here, but i also have to admit that some replies feel sometimes... harsh. Maybe it is because people perceive others with different opinions easily as anonymous enemies. (I don't have other social media to compare, so it might be just the way some people discuss online).
The harrassment by fascist trolls is definitely quite well covered by the thousands of hardworking volunteer mods (on most instances, at least).

Have a nice day!

@IversusAI Welcome to Mastodon!

And concerning how to call the #birdsite: Some nerds from Germany decided to spell it "xitter" and pronounce it like "shitter". Appropriate, I think.

@IversusAI

Hi Jessa. Welcome aboard and I hope you continue to enjoy the experience.

Have a great day.

@IversusAI Yes, Mastodon is not like any other place. It's been like this for a long time and I hope it continues. It's up to us to make it so.

Elmo did us a huge favor by driving his best, brightest, and most interesting people here. This boost in users really lit Mastodon up, but the ethos has remained the same.

Welcome.

@IversusAI

Welcome!

Some of us have begun to refer to that site as the "Nazi chatroom" now...

@IversusAI
Howdy! And welcome. I've found a similar experience.

In any case, nice to meet you Jessa!
