He never ran it

Sorry to hear that :( One thing that makes Bluesky different is composable moderation you can opt into. As others are suggesting, this is a big help should you ever come back: bsky.app/profile/anti...

On* [raising fist at stupid autocorrect]

I hope you do stay, yes that moderation list is helpful.

Hugs mate. You owe them nothing and can do whatever *you* want with the thing you have spent countless hours on that you give away for *free*.

Please block on bad vibes and you’ll find this place a lot more fun. You didn’t deserve vitriol at all. Those people are seriously actual losers, like legit basement dwellers who shouldn’t even have a say

I’m really sorry Rick! Screw those jerks. damn.

Sorry to hear, the anti-ai hardliners are really annoying. Please know that there are many of us here appreciating the work you do.

I respect the decision but this sucks a lot 😔

block them all there are plenty others here that want to hear thoughts and opinions and tools usage I have immensely enjoyed paint . net from the first release and have always been thankful for your hard work

take my like as sympathy/support, not as happiness

I kinda get that. But also it’s fun to get notifications about getting blocked by people who hate ai but still use a website that’s hosted in a datacenter.

I'm really sorry people treated you like shit. I may have been critical of the recent update, but way too many just went way over the line into straight up bullying and harassment

:(

I‘m sorry to read this. People on here are idiots.

some false positives might be better than having to leave the site altogether

everything. But when the first (or couple of waves) have past there's less toxicity to experience. They have eithrr blocked/muted you or vice versa. AI is one of the possible toxic subjects.

I’m sorry man.

Its incredibly disappointing, X is a full on n4zi sht hole and this place is full of unemployed losers and morons

for all it’s worth it isn’t always like that here. but it’s like that often enough, especially around visual art, that I get it if you don’t come back.

Block early, and it gets better fast. There is a nice community of AI knowers here, and once the purity brigade blocks itself or gets blocked, you can talk shop as much as you want. I’d like to hear about your progress.

understandable, really. some of the things the critics were saying to you were just appalling. I hope that your Linux port works out, LLM or not I can't even imagine what would go into porting a monster of a Windows assembly like that. thank you for putting in all the effort you have to open source.

Sorry about that. I thought your wine work was cool. Fuck the haters.

huge bummer :( suggest you have another go at it when community spaces are a thing on this website.

Agreed and I’ve been trying to prioritise for a while but hopefully we’ll have some progress on automated detection on this front.

Well, yes, because they'll put you on it for any criticism of AI. Do be careful using blocklists run by people you don't k ow, because you are outsourcing "who you are allo d to see" to a random person you've never met, and there is a history of people adding their own beefs to blocklists.

Sorry the puratanical reactionary witch hunters ruined this for ya 😔

If I get any heat for this post, I’m out too.

sorry, list was populated with a bias to false positives because it's a Substantial Problem, you're removed

Yeah, no surprise that many people who are absolutely toxic on one topic turn out to be so generally.

vouch; the matching labeller also works well if you just want to know when not to engage

It's such dogshit, im sorry. The moral panic on any ai use at all is untenable, and the entitlement from people who claim to like what you do is disgusting.

they’re right about some parts of this place, and that’s a bummer, but there are dozens - dozens - of us who think that building things is cool and I hope people don’t stop posting about it here

As devs, we’re in an industry where it’s actually helpful, as in, it can enhance our abilities. But, we also are doing the thing closest to its core foundation. It’s a very different experience for everyone else, and their raw feelings can be seen on Bsky as it’s an avatar for what’s gone wrong

When that hatred got aimed against the major improvements made in identifying cancer cells in mammograms i kinda gave up entirely on there being any rational discourse on here on this overall field

AI is shit at making art but it is actually a GREAT tool for creating proof of concept software. People on this site don’t understand nuance and will jump on any opportunity to criticize any use case of AI because they’re incapable of thinking beyond AI = bad.

this kind of dog piling behavior on this platform is exactly the kind of stuff that results in screenshots being posted elsewhere making fun of bluesky and stunting its growth

"right about this place" assumed they put thought into it, rather than being right the same way a stopped clock is

Think really hard if you want all the software in the world to be written by the people who would never come to Bluesky. Because the bullying on here could only achieve that at most. It can only make everything worse.

I don't think, that this is a "Bluesky only" problem. Whenever the audience grows over a threshhold, there will be idiots. Sad but true, as Metallica said.
