I dunno on the music one. You are right human artists get paid shit but they also put out like an album a year at most whereas AI puts out literally thousands of tracks a year so theoretically with 100x more music, even if it’s only half as popular, should make plenty on streaming services.

Obviously it’s terrible music and we should all boycott music platforms that don’t aggressively remove AI content. But people are clearly doing it for a real, financial reason

I’ll start. At the very least they should quit voting to fund the genocide and increase ICE funding. I understand these measures are largely performative and the Republicans would get what they want anyway, but they could at least act like they are displeased with their votes.

Come on down from wherever you are from and get the ball rolling for us, id welcome you

Just invite them in, maybe the apartment will eat them too

I guess the question becomes if people mass migrated to those platforms would they grow and improve or remain shitty, which is always hard to tell. But small projects without many people are always going to be…at best janky right out the gate. Which discord alternatives did you feel were a trap, so I can avoid those ones?

I don’t know anything about this platform in particular, but I will say that early adoption and support for new web services, platforms, and software that try to break conventional molds or even just exist as competition in the current landscape is an important way to combat enshittification. I mean we are all on lemmy which is an example of this, as are a lot of newer OS and privacy tools/apps. It’s always risky, but new things can’t start unless some people are willing to take that risk early. Especially things that aren’t backed by endless dollars.

But in this case super shitty everyone lost everything they purchased
