shameful junk
this is commercial UX posturing 101 that amounts to the complaint that generative AI positivity does not get engagement on mastodon.
"community", "inclusivity", "bring more voices", "marginalised communities"
the problem?
Mastodon lacks an algorithmic feed that boosts AI positivity posts
"The Mastodon team is finally getting some traction" is an important phrase to consider.
Mastodon has traction. It is an internet cockroach that will out last any other current social network.
But that kind of traction is not recognised in this context because this is not a good faith post made by a serious person
@fasterandworse "this is not a good faith post made by a serious person"
I worked with Scott at Symbian at the turn of the century. The issue is not so much that you're wrong (oh, you are) but that you seemingly believe that you're bringing something of value to others by publishing your ignorance.
He's one of the top most UX experts in tech for the last few decades, and as he has now retired he freely offers his time helping with UX in open source. He has no commercial motivations whatsoever, he's driven by the fact (and yes, it's a fact) that many open source projects don't have access to competent UX resources while commerical companies do.
He's not some AI proponent - he's one of the persons actively working with the Mastodon team on making our UX better.
You'll find his name here: https://joinmastodon.org/about
Your ignorance lies in the "this is not a good faith post made by a serious person" part which is a provably false statement.
I will however defend your right to make a fool of yourself in public, so carry on as you were.
