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.

I’m about to get real mean to people still on FB/insta. Wtf will it take for you people to say no to a shitty social media website?

“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.

-Ursula K Le Guin

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.

Wouldn’t a tankie instance have more women?

Your response seems almost defensive, which is weird. Lemmy is definitely overwhelming male. That’s not an inherently bad thing, so I don’t get the defensive tone here or taking OP to task about data methods.

Disagree all you want, but this website is incredibly male dominated. I don’t think OP needs to do a peer-reviewed, double-blind study to say so.

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.

I think this every single time I see news about that website. Like what the fuck is possibly on there that justifies using that piece of shit platform? Insanity.

Would be cool if the Technology community found literally any other topic to discuss beyond AI. I’m really over it, and I don’t care.

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