There are only a few places online where people can gather and interact that _isn't_ massively tipping the scales in favor of AI. But there's no secret cabal of terminally online posters coordinating harassment campaigns to keep AI fans out. (As a terminally online poster, I feel like I would know) It's just that they're not popular here. Which is, actually, extremely predictable. They are artificially supported everywhere else, so if course this space has a higher proportion of members who are less than interested.

So, if we're an unusually tough crowd, it's because they did a bunch of crowd manipulation most everywhere else. And if they can't handle a tough crowd, that is no reason to suggest doing that same crowd manipulation here. 🤷‍♀️

I think people here are generally super nice and patient. But, you need to engage with people in small groups, it's not enough to just post and become popular you need to reply, engage.

The worst thing that can happen is now and then I say "well I'm done talking to you" and I don't talk to the person who was wasting my time anymore.

@futurebird @jenniferplusplus they don't like it cause on twitter they just blast their shit at each other and yell. rage posting ensues and the algorithm takes it from there.

here you just get blocked if you're an asshole.
