Go make your prompt-friendly server, Scott! It can host as many promptfans as you desire it to have! The rest of the network does not owe you followers or fawning https://social.coop/@scottjenson/116352800579635299

As this conversation is spiraling a bit I want to make a few things clear: 1. I'd like Mastodon to be MORE inclusive and bring in more voices 2. Some people don't seem to want that 3. This is core problem to solve: How do we let more in, but not "pollute" your feed? 4. The solution is NOT "gatekeeping", revelling in the fact that AI journalists aren't welcome 5. This is the same reason we lost "Black Twitter" when it came over in 2022 Yes, a lot of you don't want AI posts in your feed (or pick any other topic) but the solution isn't to keep "AI People" from joining Mastodon, any more than it is keeping marginalized communities off of Mastodon.

@froztbyte it's interesting to see, in the post before this, how the person references "the Mastodon team". the semantics are still within the realm of centralized technology. the premise is still that a central authority is dictating the behaviour across the ecosystem.

the idea that several heterogenous communities all reject a technology, a perspective, a discourse can only be explained if they're all told to do so. it can't be that they have autonomy.

@catileptic @froztbyte he is apparently "Product Strategy Advisor to Mastodon Core team" though, so he has to refer to them somehow.
