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 I am really loving the replies that bring up:
1. Not cwing any of their content (way less engagement here! More likely to get angry replies!)
2. Being anti-AI is clearly political
3. Broadcast accounts don't do numbers because they don't engage in conversation or follow people back
4. Why do we want journalists and folks who don't observe this basic etiquette here?
I also love that OP has two walkbacks about this thread already.
