Augmented Reality filters are coming to the fediverse, first with Loops and soon Pixelfed!

@chad Yes, it's harmless at first. But it won't stop there. I foresee further shitification of the Fediverse. And I would find that very unfortunate.
Thank you for the objective discussion.

Your application of the paradox of intolerance is horribly misapplied.

@kubofhromoslav @kdekooter @dansup @moralapostel @anatolegc and maybe let’s not be dicks when expressing ours, that’s considerably more damaging to the system than a fake nose. 🙄

@dansup @Dequei I would never…. But this is fun and cool for people. Nice work. :)

@Cenbe @dansup he learned specific APIs in iOS to do this, so actually, regardless of your judgment of the outcome, it actually is a very good use of programmers time.

@moralapostel @dansup @kdekooter @anatolegc copying addictive platforms in all except this is not and addiction-based ad selling platform. So I fully adhere with @dansup about adding features people want for the actual product (instead of the app itself for converting them, the people, in the product). You should calm down a bit anyway.

@dansup Wait. The ears aren’t real?

@kdekooter just keep in mind, the fediverse is and will be open and diverse, there is no "we, the fediverse". Many fediverse users hate AI, but others like it and post AI content. Same with "childish" filters. Same with people telling other people how they should be and what they should or should not do. @dansup @moralapostel @anatolegc

@Cenbe just think about what you could have done instead of writing that comment. What a waste of time and energy. @dansup

@chris @Cenbe great reply Chris. Some boomer Java dev added to block list.

[kleisli@mastodon.social]

@dansup I'm very impressed by your resilience, that you are still building, while with every feature you ship, some "guardians of the fediverse" feel the urge to tell you what to do and what not. And I heavily assume most of them don't even use pixelfed or loops.

@dansup agreed. It's ok to enjoy silly things. Let people have fun.
