“Oh no, people don’t like my bullshit here, in the open space I can set up any server I wish at all at any time, with little to no technical boundaries! quod erat demonstratum, it is _they_ who are wrong and I am being unfairly impinged! *pout*”

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 "Go make your prompt-friendly server"

I think the larger issue is that yeah, you can go make your own server, and create whatever rules you like on it, and the rest of us can decide to block you, if we're not interested in seeing you in our home feed even by accident.

But practically, too many people are not content with just blocking and moving on. Some people get really tribal on here, and protective of the fediverse as if it was one cohesive community with one set of rules for everyone.
