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. 🤷‍♀️

@jenniferplusplus Mastodon and the Fediverse aren't perfect, but for better or worse it's managed to retain a shred of humanity in how it operates. That's why we're here. The AI broligarchs want to take that away from us, and we don't want them to. They don't understand anyone saying no to them.
@maccruiskeen @jenniferplusplus well, actually, it's not "no", it is "FUCK no"
