That includes posts generated by LLMs. It doesn’t matter if you “don’t have the time” or “would’ve written the same anyway”, or if “everyone’s doing it geez get with the times”.
For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

Who uses Linux thats still on discord ? Thats like non compat lol
It’s how I stay in touch with friends. I use Vesktop. Flatpak. Removes the tracking
Edit: appreciate the concern, but we talk about games and stuff. I’m not doing banking or personal shit on discord. If China records whatever is said, not too worried about PII
Some of the tracking. They still store your messages you send in plain text and who knows what they do with that!
Uhh they still store all your images photos and voice. And likely use your voice for ai training.
Why not just open a web browser tab and go to Discord webpage?
damn. Gonna stick to slidcord until it gets fixed.
Sometimes there isn't a choice because others you're in contact with prefer discord.
Not sure how you weren't able to think this for yourself?
If you don't support their choice to use discord, perhaps they will leave discord and go to something better. The same applies to twitter, instagram, facebook etc
"Not sure how you weren’t able to think this for yourself?"
Be the change
They will just not follow you to whichever app with 5 users you move to tbh
Then they should be left behind, it's not like there is a shortage of humans on the planet.
You are not a very serious person
I'm very serious about not being apathetic, and/or a conformist.
Some people lead
Some people follow
Some people shakes their heads, and see soylent green as almost inevitable.
Yep, thats me. People can't make the smallest change to get away from evil corpo shit then sucks for them.

Well known for their intelligence, they wouldn't make excuses for backing trash.
I found out the other week that its the only social media I have left. Except LinkedIn but in this economy...?
Anyway, its my most reliable way to talk to all of my friends and half my family, and I hate it. But hey, at least its not Facebook.
I run fedora for my main pc, cachyos on my laptop and ubuntu server for the home server PC - for the Linux street cred.
I hate to say it but Lemmy is also social media.
I just reorganized some bookmarks and thought about how can I unite Lemmy and Imgur in one group; Social. I have no idea how this could be categorized other than being social media. Any ideas welcome.
Fair enough, corpo owned then I guess I meant
Is that irony, and/or are the likes ironic? This is social media.
The likes are for my fabulous Linux distro choices. At least that's what I'm deciding they're for.
And yeah probably meant corpo owned socials
Very clever to mention multiple distros
Everyone I know on Linux uses Discord.
wait until u find how many distros + libre software use pisscorp
