  • No. And he’s not just mad at cat ladies.

    This whole idea that people with biological children are more invested in the future of the country than those without kids is just a thinly disguised dog whistle that’s firmly rooted in misogyny and homophobia.

    This is a line that theoretically doesn’t precisely and specifically just target homosexuals, there’s also “collateral damage” to infertile couples and those who choose to go child-free. And there’s a sufficient number of those people that it serves as the basis for plausible deniability. That they specifically call out “cat ladies” fully reflects the misogynistic aspects of it. But make no mistake, this is undeniably a basis they might use to deny rights to the LGBT+ community.



  • I recently joined WTF and based on the list of the instances this place is federated with, my assumption is that’s the basis for the WTF name. So, maybe something like this could be useful for choosing an instance that’s not 1/2 filled with bat shit insane posts by default rather than requiring significant and immediate curation (i.e. blocking stupid shit like hexbear and ml).


  • Are you finding that the assistance it provides has gotten worse over time? When I first started using it, it was quite helpful the majority of the time. In truth, it’s still pretty decent with autocomplete, just less consistently good than before. However the chat help has truly gone into decline. The amount of unfounded statements it returns is terrible.

    And the latest issue is that I’ve started getting responses where it starts to show me an answer, but then hides the response and gives me an error that the response was filtered by Responsible AI.

    Glad I’m not directly paying for it.
