Closing the gate after lighting the barn on fire.
I wish it didn't take vocal and large public backlash to do the simplest of moral things.

Boycott US

Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Don’t worry, it’s only theater. They’ll let the nazis keep do whatever they want.
That feeling the rest of the world gets when Americans applaud someone for preventing "domestic" mass surveillance.
Yeah, good luck pretending you're not running to Trump with everything you can find.
Sam Altman needs to be in jail with Bankman-Fried.
I used ChatGPT for some more complex web searches that I did not want to be jumping from place to place to get answers from. As well as a random word and number generator for my email generator. I have let most of my Apple services go, just one left, but that meant I needed a new hide my email service, I was signed up for proton but found out that it would be less expensive to just get the email package from my new web host but needed the random word and number generator.
Claude is more than capable of doing that all for me.
Instead of just closing the account, I also closed the email address I had for it. If they want to try and get me back straight to the 404 pile there emails will go.
Only after Claude surpassed them by taking a moral stand. Classic.
Just like discord, do they think we're stupid? Who here is going to say, "Oh, they changed the wording? They pushed the dates back? Well nevermind, I'll reinstall!"
I deleted my discord and i am not going back.
I wish I could I have a community on there that is not going to move, at least not easily.
I had stopped using most communities. Stoat doesn't have as many, neither does Matrix.
Ditto.
Can’t be trusted
Cant trust them now. The horse has well and truly bolted
The AI system shall not be intentionally used for domestic surveillance
The US government's standard operating principle at this point is "Ooh! Look, shiny! let's buy this database. Oh whoops, how'd this personal information on a wide swath of Americans get in our cart? I don't feel like putting it back on the shelf." So these assurances are meaningless.
Meaning it shall be unintentionally used...
Just closed my account and I'm now trying mistral.
