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

@ghostrunner @fasterandworse trash peddlers and lovers of the taste of trash are being marginalized by mastadon, thru low engagement

@foundseed @fasterandworse I realize our analogy casts unfair aspersions upon racoons, and we should be ashamed. Lovers and purveyors of unprocessed radioactive feces from the artificially animated corpses of genocidal madmen is much more accurate.
