Is #mastodon becoming an echo chamber? This post from @carnage4life has me questioning our community. The Mastodon team is finally getting some traction, the product improvements are increasing, The #UX is improving, yet people posting on multiple platforms are making comments like this. It's confusing.

I *know* people here don't want this to be a classic social media-clone but we'd *like* journalists to be here right? They aren't coming with examples like this!

OK, this is going even MORE sideways so I need to make a few things clear:
1. I took a complex point and made it poorly
2. My goal was to ask for more inclusiveness
3. I am sickened by what happend to BlackTwitter and I don't want it recur
4. But I can't speak for BlackTwitter nor should I
5. I apologize to black mastodon users for making such a poor comparison
6. I'm not endorsing "AI Slop" they were a foil to make my point
7. I'm certainly NOT trying to compare AI bros to Black twitter (but, as I said, I can see how people made that connection. I'm trying to correct that here)

@scottjenson idk, I think AI boosters can go fuck themselves all the way back to Bluesky, where they're welcome to hang out with the rest of the AI venture capital echo chamber. Simple as.

@rey @scottjenson Scott just wants to gloss over why anyone has ethical issues with AI, and frame this as being mean to people.

I think AI is bad and people promoting it are willfully blind and causing real harm to society.

The reasons matter, stop trying to just tone-police your way through these very real concerns.

I have been reading all of this thread I can. I do not draw that conclusion.
