My desire to use Mastodon is basically at zero now because post-"Claude", hanging out here means inevitably I'm going to have a conversation with someone who tolerates, or even uses, "generative AI". And what's the point of being in a community where that's a risk. Interestingly* there is absolutely no chance of this on Bluesky, because there are artists there

* And oddly, given how "AI"-brained the *admins* there are

No longer interested in talking about open source unless the conversation starts with how to build an alternate open source community without "AI code assistant" users contributing to it
AI is not a "tool". It is the users of AI who are tools HEYOOOOOOOOOO
@mcc the "best" part is, it's funny but also unironically correct
@JoshJers "Bro. Bro u r being instrumentalized"
@mcc @JoshJers
[Ralph Wiggum voice] I'm instrumental!
