It’s your proposed solution that’s the problem. The answer isn’t to make Discord public, it’s to convince people to move off of it, and quite honestly, if you want people to leave Discord so badly, you’d be better off setting up separate public forums for the open source projects you are interested in on your own and convincing/bribing respected members of the Discord to post there, or copy/paste technical info there.

I feel the same way about Lemmy so I sympathize with you, honestly.

For open-source projects and stuff that needs to be public, I can feel you.

What these chucklefucks are asking for is to make ALL Discord content indexable and searchable, even extremely private intimate things, and that’s absolutely unacceptable.

And those bots can manipulate you into doing whatever the fuck they want you to do.

No one wants their private/semi-private chats to be indexable or searchable. The whole POINT is to not have what you say broadcast to all and sundry.

Oh my god, this IS just a launchpad for lame conspiracybros 🤦🤦🤦

No, the Moon landings were real and the images/clips you see of it online are real too. If it was faked, the USSR would have screamed to the high heavens about it. Just because you personally haven’t experienced something does not mean it can’t actually happen.

Grow the fuck up and accept reality doesn’t conform to your wishful thinking.

Oh, and the Earth is round, too, and NASA livestreams and photos of the very clearly round Earth are valid too.

Just because the majority of people believe something without thinking about it doesn’t mean it isn’t true or they’re not critical thinkers. People know what’s worthwhile to question and what’s not, and that’s a vital aspect of critical thinking you did not consider because you don’t understand or care about what it is, it’s just an emotional cudgel for you to accuse regular people of bullshit to brainwash and abuse them.

Get off of my feed. Go outside.

Inb4 “Well that’s not his point” – yes it is; he’s just trying to pretend to be reasonable to get his foot in the door. Salesmen do this shit all the time; it’s a common tactic and it’s why we know not to listen to people like him.

Because it’s not automatic and is outside of the user’s control, to start.

So, I’m just going to not buy their garbage.

The fact that it’s AI generated and not directly light-into-image makes it untrustworthy.

Like actual film photos are a lot harder to fake and therefore are more trustworthy.

In principle, that image AI software can be programmed to generate whatever it wants. It can even censor your own film footage.

Like if a revolution happens in this country next year, you bet your ass the police and military will exact atrocities on the American people to stop it, and the corporations they’re in bed with can reprogram everyone’s phones to censor out the footage of it, so genocide cannot be proven.

Watch and see it happen.

The Moon landings? Hello?

Yet you’re still desperately trying so it’s obvious our suffering is valid and that you can’t just invalidate it by comparing our situation to that of people 500-600 years ago, can you?

You can keep trying to get one over on me, though. I suppose it’ll take the sting out of the last two times you failed. 🍿

No, we’re dealing with worse. Much, much worse.

You can’t make me stop

The imprisonment makes it ugly, that’s what he’s saying.

c/woosh

And yet no one cares because this is what we’re dealing with now

Okay

That’s literally how it is now

A lot more than we do in this shithole

Holodomor 2.0

You can just look up words in the dictionary and look up the phonetic pronunciation key to refresh your memory. It pays to do this every once in a while.

Welcome to the wonderful world of post-9/11 authoritarianism. Remember, it’s all to protect you from terrorists so they’re justified in doing anything they want to you
