@aaronmccollum We have got to figure out how to get VCs interested in this place. There has to be a way.
@stefan @aaronmccollum All you gotta do is figure out a way to start selling user data and/or advertising

@aaronmccollum @stefan Not to mention a one-time benefit from the (2nd? 3rd?) Great Twitter Exodus

"With Attie, anyone will be able to build their own custom feed just by typing in commands in natural language, the same as if they’re chatting with any other AI chatbot."
I'm guessing NFT profile pictures are next?

@alienghic It started to pick up again recently, might be going down a bit again, though.
Well. Nevertheless!
Active User Count for the #Fediverse has been hovering around a million since forever.

I looked at that yesterday afternoon and the blocked-by count was ~69k already, your post prompted me to check again and it's ~112k nowI wonder if it'll overtake the whitehouse & vance by end of play today?

Incredible.
Confirming the results of a study from earlier this month:
"Only 26% of voters view AI positively, making it even less popular than ICE, according to an NBC News poll of 1,000 voters."

@botvolution Hah, it's getting there!
Quite a self-own.

@ricci.io Which, funny enough, actually tracks.

@juergen_hubert Yes, well, at least it's not declining?
There are some good updates coming soon, like starter packs (or Collections, as they call them here), more user experience improvements, better search and discovery via https://github.com/mastodon/fediverse_auxiliary_service_provider_specifications
and https://www.fediscovery.org.Better moderation tools!

Quite the opposite of enshittification. So, I think there's definitely hope for the future.

I knew in my heart Bluesky was secretly evil this whole time, I feel so validated to know they're using AI -

@stefan Also depressing that out of millions of BlueSky users, so few block the alt-right as well as AI.

Interesting phrasing.

Not surprised. If Bluesky said it was to be a separate app, then made it apart of Bluesky, then they lied and lost all credibility.
Bewilders me why they even thought adding that thing in the app would be a come up to a userbase that left Twitter partially because of Russian bots and alt-right algorithms. Not to mention the Bluesky userbase has been very anti-AI from the beginning, and don’t want any Grok-like slop in the community

How it actually started: ‘We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.’
