Hi, the Mastodons. I don't know how this works yet or how active I'll be here, but I thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm a UK-based female AuDHD adult, choosing to remain mostly anonymous. I'm really just curious about how the Fediverse works - I can be ambivalent about social media but I thought this sounded refreshing in contrast to the big, powerful platforms which feel scarier to me by the minute. I've also been getting to grips with Linux recently, and am thinking about other ways within my limited means and courage to try to be involved with more of the small things that are about moving away from exploitation and towards caring for each other.
Take care out there :)

@MelodicDinosaur hello, welcome, don’t worry if it takes a while to find your way round. Following hashtags is a good way to see lots of relevant posts before you figure out who you want to follow.
Hope you have fun -

@MelodicDinosaur Welcome! I see others have mentioned the very helpful fedi.tips and following hashtags, so I'll just say enjoy yourself and interact at the level that feels comfortable for you.

@MelodicDinosaur Heyo and welcome to Mastodon :) enjoy your stay here!

@introvertcatto Thank you 🐱
@MelodicDinosaur you're welcome. Also, fediverse can be boring at the beginning when you first create an account but after following few hashtags and curating your feed to your liking you can enjoy it here, you can even find friends.

@MelodicDinosaur 👋 Hi. Welcome 😊
@troglet Thank you! :)

@MelodicDinosaur Hi there! The Fediverse is nice because you can make it as big or as small as you want it to be. I interact with a handful of folks, and that's my Goldilocks zone.
I struggle a lot with needing to know what the protocols, procedures and customs around certain things are. At least for me, there hasn't been too much friction along those lines here, which has made it an enjoyable place to hang out.
Hope it's a good experience for you, too!
@groink Hi Groink :). I'm relieved to hear that's the experience you've had. I relate to the worrying about it getting too overwhelming or accidentally getting something wrong. I'm surprised (in a nice way) that so many people have said hello!
Take care :)

@MelodicDinosaur
MD, your intentions, approach to social media, and interest in Linux all make you an ideal candidate to join the Fediverse.
I, for one, hope that your experience here will be rewarding for you, and that you will benefit greatly from being involved in this community. -

https://fediversum.info/ @the_rebel Oh wow... that looks really cool, I didn't know there was so much. Thank you for this.

@MelodicDinosaur@cupoftea.social Take a look around, figure out what you actually want to do and what type of user you are. The Fediverse has the right services for each and every one of us.
If you want to write longer texts and are more of an organised type of person, then other services are more suitable for you.
First, get started and keep in mind that when you choose a service, you are only determining the appearance and functions that you yourself have.
The person you are communicating with does not have to have the same ;)
Like me, I am writing to you using the #Sharkey service -
@independentpen LOL, so *this* is where we've all been hiding! 😀
@MelodicDinosaur @independentpen hiding in plain sight! :D

Raises the question. Is there any good way to use AI? Is there a way to invert it and turn it on itself, to use AI to destroy AI, to sabotage any ill it is designed to inflict, to undo or replace its propaganda effect, to use it to release the Epstein files?

@dalias @fesshole that's a myopic way to look at it. Most likely the employer doesn't care enough about you to want to deskill you by exposing you to "cognitoharazds". They're following hype and/or they're misguided. I'd be tempted to say they don't even have a strategy around the use of llms, but that's just speculation. So you're not really sabotaging the company by burning tokens. What you're doing is moral posturing that makes you feel better about yourself because you're the main character in your story and you're sticking it to the man. But that's a pointless exercise that only ends up sabotaging the cause you're supposedly fighting for (capitalism, llm hype, late stage capitalism death cult). By silently complying, and using the tokens you're just bolstering their policy.

@dalias @alexmu @fesshole Calling it „probably made up“ because of your personal risk assessment strikes me as weird nevertheless.

@ziphi oh damn it it exported with transparent background. Might be invisible if you're looking at the image in dark mode.

@weizenspreu @alexmu @fesshole A casual remark about why a story is likely fake does not call for a detailed explanation of intricacies, especially when this kind of software is dropping logs both intentionally and unintentionally all over the place and there is absolutely significant risk of getting caught.
