Most of what we do here regarding AI is FOSS AI using community run or self-hosted generators. None of the corporate AI bullshit like you sometimes see elsewhere.
Regardless if you still don’t like it and don’t want to be part of it, then it’s no big deal, just block or ignore the communities which are dedicated to AI stuff. The only thing you really shouldn’t do in regards to that is Anti-AI trolling, like attacking people who do like it, or making bad-faith comparisons or accusations. If you don’t like it just don’t engage with it.
You’re fine. Generally the instance is anti-copyright, so arguments against AI or piracy based on copyrights tend to fall flat. At the same time, we also hate the corporate GenAI and the overinflated hype around it. We support GenAI only when it’s done via FOSS and without relying on vulture capitalism.
I just ask you don’t go around scolding people about using GenAI in this instance as it becomes tiring. Just block the GenAI comms.
Block what you don’t like to see. Block users who you don’t like. Doesn’t matter which instance you’re on.
Just block the communities you don’t want to see. That is the power you have. Use it wisely.
I for one very much Enjoy reading up on AI stuff I’m visually impaired and use AI pretty much daily to read images and memes For me it’s been a game changer
You’ll have no trouble blocking AI here. This instance federated with almost all others and leaves it up to you to block them how you want. I will say db0 is my favorite instance so far.
Why is it your fav?
And I also don’t love how ai images go into all other communities here though but I prefer the piracy
You can get a bunch of funny posts, the moderation is really good, people typically say what they think and aren’t cowed into saying what is expected and so I like to believe there is some version of free thought happening. I like it, it’s been a good experience. Yeah I blocked all the random stuff that I didn’t like and it wasn’t a problem. Any instance you choose is going to have something that you find obnoxious for whatever reason and you’re going to have to block those communities. Additionally you’re going to encounter some random instance that you find obnoxious at the instance level and you can block the entire instance.
For one it has a cool name, the mods here don’t cause much drama (that I know of), the users don’t brigade threads like with Hexbear, and piracy is celebrated unlike other websites. Ultimately I hope you find what you’re looking for even if it’s not this place
EDIT: Almost forgot. /0 doesn’t censor what you read like with lemmy.ml (e g. “bitch” reads as removed).
