I'd almost forgotten that, along with bluesky and Twitter, I had this app on my phone. I deleted Twitter and bluesky last Thursday because social media had just gotten too depressing. Twitter's owner hates my family for being trans, bluesky shelters bigots, and masto is loathed for either being wokescold, being racist or being too complicated
At which point i just give up. If my whole feed is hatred kt people complaining about the platform, it's probably legit, and I don't have the energy.
Well I've mainly ditched twitter, but been busy with Bluesky.
Sorry if y'all missed me. I'll drop in here more if you want.

You answered your own question - it would be more work. It would also have a smaller sample size, so AI art would not be as variable.

@sangster@macaw.social @emilygorcenski@indieweb.social I think we can also blame the death of journalism for the lack of follow up.
@emilygorcenski@indieweb.social When we have multiple mass shootings every month, most people stop being as horrified as we used to and accept them as normal.
It's in the interest of the firearms industry for us to do so just as the tobacco industry has it its interest for us to accept lung cancer deaths as the price of "freedom" to smoke.

I wish second chances had less power without actual contrition and humility.
So, is Bluesky (I find it easier and more diverse) going to shit itself badly enough by being run by assholes that I come back here?
@stavvers@masto.ai He's so laughably bad at anything that's not scamming crypto nerds.
I mean, maybe they're actors

Oh jesus christ the irony
A Musk fan (I checked his feed) was surrounded by Trump fans who drive deliberately polluting vehicles.
Outside of one side hating environmentalists, they're literally on the same side politically, but they still have so much hate that they have to attack anything they see as deviating from the core of the cult.
