What about someone generating fake imagery to create fear or anger about something?
There are a lot of ways AI art can be used to deceive.
Instagram has like over a billion users. They definitely aren't automatically signing people up.
Jury is still out on Twitter. It very well could fail.
It just didn't happen the instant Musk entered the building. This type of thing usually happens on longer timeframes. Digg died unusually fast.
I mean some people just want a social media app without Elon Musk...
You still have to create a profile on Threads when you set it up. Instagram is waaaay bigger than just 10 million users.
If an instance does off because Meta won't defederates from it, then it probably would have died off anyway.
Because billionaires influence politics... Unfortunately.
They do if they're collector's boxes. Usually the same for regular editions.
It would be a shame if subreddits changed their rules to make photos of Tiennamen Square mandatory in all posts.
Defederating helps because it limits their reach to a wider community. They're currently a small group because Lemmy and Kbin are new. If they're left unchecked, they will grow.
You are never going to eliminate groups like this, but deplatforming them prevents their ability to radicalize more people.
Banning white supremacy is not the same thing as making an echo chamber.
Support for Trump is inherently racist, homophobic, transphobic, and misogynistic.
Not yet. I wouldn't be surprised if they were trying to build an automated way of doing this.
As if people won't figure out creative ways around that...
I think it's the sci-fi fantasy of it. Like being able to download knowledge like the matrix.
In reality the real use of these is to help people with brain injuries or disabilities.
Elno wants to grift people on the former. Literally everything he does is selling people the knock off wish version of something from a sci-fi movie/book/game.
