Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Xitter added a button on the corner of every image that feeds it into a prompt-based "AI" image generator. (hexbear.net)

They graciously labeled it as "Edit image" too, to rub in the fact that artists have 0 control over anything they create. It also masterfully attempts to reinforce the idea that the "AI" slop machine isn't the thing doing all the work, no, no, no, YOU are in charge of the kitchen when you give a prompt to the chef! YOU are the one editing the image!

Of course, this doesn't affect just artists, anyone that posts an image of themselves will be subject to the collective power and machinations of the Xitter user base as now they can shove it down the slop machine in just one click to "edit" it. How exciting.

Whenever I wake up for a new day I am thrilled, because I know it's one day closer to this cursed, bloated, monstrous, wasteful, asinine, ludicrous, horrible "AI" bubble finally popping. This technology is next to useless and the general public shouldn't have ever had access to it.

I didn't notice that you are ever creative yourself, so i have to be clear that my comment wasn't directed at you specifically. I haven't really used blue sky. It's true that mastodon has a very set niche to it and that it's imposible for people outside to reach any meaningful engagement. But in contrast the Issue with Twitter is that it's system will just continue to get worse by design. People can migrate and make subniches in new social media, but i feel twitter like meta's platforms are being shaped to be a pit of AI manure. And my mindset about that is: If the tech bros want to rot their brains in self masturbatory manure, leave them alone to it. Let them rot.

In short i feel those platforms are hopeless, but at least somewhere else there might be an island or two in this sea of shit.
