There is enough hate to go around - fuck them both:-).
Username did ask for that 😉
Though exactly like NSFW/NSFL and bot posts (which people avoid so replying can feel like a honeypot experience where a conversation was invited but unlikely to be fruitful, since even the poster themselves will never read your message), it's not only the item itself but rather the lack of proper labeling. AI slop could arguably, theoretically, for some people (I'm trying to frame this so as to lessen the chances of being flamed here!) be enjoyable, but cannot be acceptable in the wider community unless properly labeled. This "restriction" enables us to be more fully free to have our own enjoyment of this shared space.
Edit: for context, I had not even gotten to the existing flame war down below your comment yet, but somehow I knew it was coming! The Threadiverse seems to love to hate on AI almost as much as Windows and tankies!:-P (and ironically all for the same underlying reason: because consent should matter, even/especially when others say differently)
In addition to that, there is a feature now (available only to mods) which attempts to automatically determine if a user is posting human or AI content. I don't know what criteria it is using, but the goal seems to be to aid mods in their determination beyond just looking through all their content individually.
So like NSFW (where it also adds NSFL) and bots, PieFed is now turning its sights to go hard after AI slop that is not labeled as such.
PieFed is known for being extremely frugal about data, I wonder if that could be a viable replacement?
Like change the default settings to show content by New rather than Hot, just not federate with any other instances (I mean Lemmy or PieFed or Mbin etc.), and so on.
In wider society, the red pill represents political extremism while the blue pill is... I dunno, blissful ignorance I guess? 😜
Perhaps taking either pill is woke, whereas refusing to take any is Reddit.
On the other hand, there's a ton of wiki software available around the world, whereas on the Threadiverse there is only Lemmy, PieFed, and Mbin. So it makes a lot of sense to me to keep focused on the unique aspects that only @Rimu@piefed.social can offer? Not that I have any call on his time, just sharing this thought in support of the contrasting viewpoint.
Except that people that you block that way on Lemmy can still read & reply to your content, vote on it, send you DMs, triggering notifications (even for WEEKS and WEEKS afterwards... 🙄🙃) - it's a "block" that does not actually block anything at all!?
Tbf, PieFed's block also lets people reply to you, but at least there it does not show you them.
Both software platforms still need improvements, fortunately there are contributors hard at work making stuff happen!
What happened? (I use the webpage interface so would have missed anything impacting mobile users)
