    Corporate social media run by Big Tech. This isn’t really a problem on community-run services because we, the people, aren’t putting up with this crap. 😂

    Thank god for the fediverse!

      Don’t get too comfortable. There have been a number of AI bots that have been caught posting around these parts.

        Yeah, but the difference is good server mods will try to fight back against that just like they would spam of any sort. Meanwhile, Meta is literally handing people tools to create slop! OpenAI has a slop-only “social” platform! 😵‍💫

      Yeah, it’s interesting to see things like this, because I am apparently kinda isolated from most of this. The fediverse appears to be fine.

        On more mainstream social media people care more about trends and certain memes than they care about social part of social media. Like you can find friends there. I have few friends on tiktok which I now mostly use for texting with them but tiktok now added streaks on DM (like Snapchat streaks) and I can’t even talk they just send videos that are not even funny, video literally just being “use this video to save your streak” like not even cat videos.

      Well, still certainly much more of it over here than I would like to see. But it is less.
