Talk shit about normies all you want but they're most of the people who repost memes and give communities life, you can't cut them out and expect to have a thriving community. These practices of elitism and exclusion are the reason why Mastodon and the fediverse as a whole are stagnating.
How many more of your comments are AI generated?
You don’t have to do that when you sign up for mstdn.social, and it’s also not a requirement for mastodon.social And there are more instances where you don’t have to apply like that.
Yes, and we need much more like that if we want this platform to be sucessful as a whole. Normies want to join social medias, not clubs.
But when it’s asked that you apply to the server, it’s usually to ease the load of moderation, to see if you would fit the vibe of that instance. And/or to protect the more vulnerable people on that particular instance.
We all know or should know that running a platform like a club where people need to apply and have their worth manually determined is a toxic and unwelcoming environment that does not promote any kind of growth, and the fact that it is common and encouraged is not helpful to the fediverse long term. It just pushes normies away. Because a social media doesn't ask people to apply, a club does. Most people don't want to join small exclusive clubs.
That doesn't make me feel any better about it, a dildo is a toy, it's not something that should be attached to your body, especially in the spot my vagina would be. It feels very wrong.
My problem is having any pickle (penis) of any size down there. Gives me really bad dysphoria. It's better than it used to be, but I wish I didn't have anything sticking out down there ya know. Like cis girls.
How about because AI generation is prone to misinformation, is often straight up plagarism, and finally is just lazy and low effort garbage.
@letsu@feddit.org Need your input on this as the admin of this person's homeserver, are you thrilled about people on your server posting this kind of lazy ass AI spam in the rest of the fediverse?
Great, so you want to join a club instead of a social media? Is that it? Because that's what you're advocating for, small private clubs which most normies don't have enough interest to join, out of fear of being rejected or just being rejected multiple times anyway. "Wonder why it's so empty here?" -Lemmy Users trying to figure out why their exclusive Lemmy clubs haven't taken off.
Most people aren't satisfied with Lemmy's very small and stagnant growth, and I can say I'm one of them, asking people to prove their worth and rejecting them for being a normie is a horrible strategy for growth.
It doesn't that was the point of my comment, it is sarcastic, because asking normies to write about themselves then manually determine their worth before they join will exclude the vast majority of them. Applications are how you run exclusive clubs, not a social media platform. Which is the biggest reason the Fediverse sucks for regular people.
I don't want to join a club, I want to join a regular platform. That's why I joined discuss.online and not any of the other exclusive club instances.
You AI generated your comment... https://app.gptzero.me/
You should post your own comments on subjects in your own words instead of using a plagarism bot to do it for you. It's no better than just copying other people's comments.
"Write a bit about yourself to join this server and if we decide you're too boring and normal we'll reject your application and say you're a spammer afterwards"
Hmm I wonder why normies aren't flocking to these fediverse platforms, what could be stopping them, couldn't be the shitty onboarding process could it? Nah asking people to apply is the best onboarding process ever (obvious big ass /s)
He should, reason they ditched them for coal and gas was because big daddy Exxon and BP are pushing for it so they don't go out of bussiness. FUCK BP AND EXXON!
Was banned from !egg_irl@lemmy.blahaj.zone for calling out a Mod's misuse of the Egg prime directive to criticize trans people for helping out trans women in denial of their trans-ness. They're denying the validity of signs of being transgender, what the actual fuck, this shit is not okay. Then after banning me that dipshit locks the post so no one else can reply on it. How is this not power-tripping?

Deemed by who? People who don't want to adopt new things? It's not too hard they just don't want to do it and will make any excuse not to.
