That’s great to hear.

In my real life bubble Noone has heard of it.

My corner of the internet is the fediverse mostly as others said.

My real life corner has moved to Bluesky from Twitter which isn’t great but an improvement. I do have to say I prefer the way Bluesky allows you to make feeds and share them over Mastodon discoverability quite a lot.

The move away from meta is slowly starting. Facebook is a thing anymore. But Instagram still has people struggling to move away (as does WhatsApp but signal works similar enough that I get people to slowly move over). It’s not open source but miles better than Zuckerberg.

But Pixelfed just isn’t a thing most people know about it seems. Same with lemmy. So reddit is still used a lot or quit without replacement because everyone hates the app experience around here.

Pixelfed also isn’t my thing but then I never used Instagram or TikTok either.

I just did convince my family and all close friends to move to signal.

Left x long ago. Never joined any of the others.

Exactly. That means new thoughts and ideas can’t ever come from what is currently called Ai.

I’m just here to say I don’t want to read AI generated texts. Not even when marked as such. I prefer human to human communication. Generation quality isn’t there yet by a long shot.

While I don’t think we can beat AI driven content degradation by outposting them, I still agree posting ‘just Google it’ does any good either.

Post an answer or link a topic which covered the same question in detail. But directing people to Google isn’t something I’d advocate. Maybe tell them to Ecosiate it if you really have to.

Also it’s just rude and creates an uninviting admosphere around here Imo.

But the AI issue can’t be solved by users alone. It’s moderation and maybe regulation which is needed here.

True but it helps get the concept across so much.

I found since people are used to app stores, I’ve had a much easier time convincing people to try out Linux. My mom even said that she always wished her windows PC had a proper app store.
