Would you join a new #mastodon instance dedicated to novice & amateur #homelab & #computing where beginners & experimenters can post about anything IT, especially using #AI assistance for coding & #hardware setup & #troubleshooting e.g. #Claude_code #ChatGPT The instance would be to share tips, code, repos, tricks & help each other, show & tell, but in a safe environment for newbies without IT professionals & experts being provoked, bothered or pitching in with criticism of use of AI ? @homelab

@adingbatponder @homelab One of the reasons I self host is to not be forced to use ai, and I’m guessing this instance will just ignore the horrible externalities of it and act like it’s just a fun toy?
@adingbatponder @homelab Also, if you're going to start a learning group anyway, why not just cut out the unethical bullshit machine and actually learn together?

@ainmosni this! Much more useful and fun to learn using human interaction.
