Fair point!

I just got downvoted in the comments above for basically having the EXACT same sentiment. I fucking hate it here.

I’m literally just talking, giving an opinion. Nothing was that fucking deep, just talking about my feelings about how a supposedly secure encrypted website was infiltrated by the motherfucking FBI…

And I’m downvoted? Fucking why? Every day Lemmy gets a little more like Reddit. Shit like this is why the numbers go down. Just spread that negativity—make everyone feel like shit.

Downvote this while you’re at it! Fuck yall!

I’ve always felt like Signal isn’t half as secure as it claims to be, and articles like this don’t help that feeling…

What a pedantic (and incorrect) take. Luddite can absolutely mean a person who purposefully avoids technology.

I’m sure I’ll get downvoted, but words can have multiple meanings and take on new meanings over time. Luddite is one of them. This article used it properly.

And anyone who disagrees with me can kiss my linguistics-degree-holding ass.

I don’t think we need AI to know they’re all psychopaths

As a chronic smoker for years, there’s a special place in hell for assholes who throw lit cigarettes on the ground. Those people should be shamed, always.

I’m cool with this! OpenAI ought to send those suicide instructions it created for that teen and send it to those pigs for some inspo :)

The family responding that they’re perfectly fine with AI but just wish it hadn’t lied, like… we’re fucked. Not even direct victims of AI’s bullshit understand or care about how fucked up and these corporate generative AI technologies are… again, fucked.

“Fixing” social media is like “fixing” capitalism. Any manmade system can be changed, destroyed, or rebuilt. It’s not an impossible task but will require a fundamental shift in the way we see/talk to/value each other as people.

The one thing I know for sure is that social media won’t ever improve if we all accept the narrative that it can’t be improved.

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

The degree to which some of you stick your heads in the sand is stunning. How do you even reply to this in good faith? Between the algorithms, mis/disinformation, propaganda, hate speech, bullying, and general bullshit, I don’t understand how someone can either be this naive or this fucking dishonest.

People are downvoting cuz OP said this site is becoming misogynistic plus OP didn’t include the right “sample size.”

But can we be fucking honest? This website is incredibly male dominated. Like why are we arguing this? I woulda figured it was closer to like 95% male users…

And many folks (read: men) on this website don’t like calling out the reality that these heavily male-skewed outlooks can be misogynistic. Like, yeah, you bring tons of men in a room with no women, people will start to say misogynistic shit. It’s not reddit-level bad, but I’ve definitely noticed it.

I’m sorry but you’re a clown if you think AI is going to be a tool used to help the little guy. Is like zuckerberg claiming Facebook will help connect and bring us together.

Can we put down all billionaires already? Worthless leeches on society contributing absolutely nothing.
