“Oh no, people don’t like my bullshit here, in the open space I can set up any server I wish at all at any time, with little to no technical boundaries! quod erat demonstratum, it is _they_ who are wrong and I am being unfairly impinged! *pout*” Go make your prompt-friendly server, Scott! It can host as many promptfans as you desire it to have! The rest of the network does not owe you followers or fawning https://social.coop/@scottjenson/116352800579635299

@froztbyte it's interesting to see, in the post before this, how the person references "the Mastodon team". the semantics are still within the realm of centralized technology. the premise is still that a central authority is dictating the behaviour across the ecosystem. the idea that several heterogenous communities all reject a technology, a perspective, a discourse can only be explained if they're all told to do so. it can't be that they have autonomy.

@froztbyte 'This platform is an echo chamber!' yells person frustrated that the system on Mastodon isn't rigged to force people to have to listen to their bad takes the way it is on their preferred platforms.

@froztbyte "Go make your prompt-friendly server" I think the larger issue is that yeah, you can go make your own server, and create whatever rules you like on it, and the rest of us can decide to block you, if we're not interested in seeing you in our home feed even by accident. But practically, too many people are not content with just blocking and moving on. Some people get really tribal on here, and protective of the fediverse as if it was one cohesive community with one set of rules for everyone.

@froztbyte If a guy with a long standing career with probably 6 figure salary (or more) is butthurt over ordinary people not liking his takes, while having 6.4k followers, is "pathetic" the right word for that? Asking as non-native english speaker.

@froztbyte What, precisely, is an "AI journalist" anyway? Does he mean people who cover AI, or people who use AI while researching/writing?
