I never cared that much about it, but it is a shame that another alternative is going down.

I thought Session was decentralized and couldn’t be centrally shut down 🤔
That’s what you get for thinking.
I added the Session repo to F-Droid, installed the official app, created an account and joined a community.
I didn’t get asked once to donate.
The app is or should be the primary communications interface between Session and it’s users. Have they made appeals through the app before? Is it technically possible for them to do so?
for those of you who want an alternative check out Delta Chat :D
one of the main delta chat devs had a crashout on mastodon over people rightfully calling him out for using an AI generated goth girl to advertise delta chat.
Damn in that case I guess I’ll switch to Whatsapp /s
Is the fediverse just as toxic as twitter?
Twitter levels are unattainable
Not if the Twits migrate in large enough numbers. They have already forced the hand of the mastodon devs tom implement twitter-like features. It’s only going to get worse.
Depends on what you mean by toxic. If you mean there are less bots that are deployed by the owner to boost user numbers for venture capitalists, yes it is less toxic.
if you mean “will I encounter people with different opinions than me, and we may argue over it indefinitely” then, yeah i guess you could say it is “just as toxic”
There is a difference between arguing and brigading. Whether it’s done by humans or bots doesn’t make much of a difference. If the narrative being spread is one dimensional, that’s toxic.
Dogpiling someone for having an AI avatar is going a little far.
It wasnt an AI avatar. It was an AI advertisement that used an uncanny AI generated goth girl, and after being asked “why didnt you just make something yourself in gimp?” responded like a toddler shitting his pants saying “well YOU GUYS are all STUPID because ive been using AI since I started WORKING on deltachat so why is this DIFFERENT?”
Which is why I have since uninstalled deltachat. I am not going to trust my privacy and security to be kept intact when the code is written by AI. Theres no guarantees the AI won’t fuck up and make a massive security breach.
“A human could do it too!” Sure. they could. A human could also make the decision to drive off the road into a ditch. Most dont unless they’re suicidal or by accident. AI driving cars do it without thought or reason.
:( Seems like they took a bet and didn’t grow enough to sustain their expenses
