Fuck Matt and fuck Automattic

Forks have already existed. Like ClassicPress or Bedrock. The biggest hurdle is getting the average user to use it. But that will never happen unless WordPress becomes difficult enough to use that alternatives are easier. People use WordPress because it’s convenient, not because it’s good.

Thank God this meme was muted. I had my volume on max and that mouse would have blown out my eardrums.

But seriously, please just spend the 10 seconds it takes to reverse image search and find a better copy, or ideally the original so you can link to the creator’s post.

I thought that might be what they were saying, but then it would be “with regard to to” so I was unsure.

Initialisms like this bug me because they cause confusion for the most minimal amount of benefit.

“wrt”?

Well, I don’t think those are interchangeable. o7 is used like “I salute you” or like “roger that”, while “F” to pay respects is more like “my condolences”.

And to be a tad pedantic, it’s an “emoticon” or “emote”, not an “emoji”.

Here’s a few more pixels

Right. I misunderstood thinking that it meant that all people must respect the person’s desire to be left out of it. It would probably be a better rule if that were the case. But, apparently rules don’t really matter here anyways.

I also missed an important part of it:

For a disengage call to be valid, it must not be accompanied by other arguments on the existing topic. A disengage is not meant to be a trump card to have the last word.

It still doesn’t excuse the disgusting behavior.

I simply wanted to be done, because there is zero respect shown here.

I’m also now frustrated that the instance block appears to not be working, since I got a notification for this reply.

I don’t want to deal with any interactions with anything or anyone related to db0 after this appalling lack of any respect, utterly shameful accusations, and weird cult-like attitude towards an admin.

Blatantly ignoring disengage while also making absolutely unfounded and ridiculous claims. Absolutely shameful.

You think admins are infallible? You’re only attacking me with these claims because I’m calling out someone who happens to be an admin. They are still human and, clearly, capable of doing wrong.

The whole point of this conversation is that it is wrong to assume everyone who simply shows a dislike in AI is a ‘right-wing pro-capitalist liberal’. That is a judgement of a person’s ideals and values based on a single metric that has no inherent connection to right-wing liberalism.

Now you have convinced me to block this entire instance because of this abhorrent behavior.

1. That’s an opinion, not a fact. And while I agree that in many circumstances there are plenty of reactionary responses, it does not get anywhere close to 100%.
2. Irrelevant to the point.
3. You’re conflating an “anti-AI movement” with just not liking AI.
4. I never made any claims about banning AI or even fighting against it, really. Not sure why you’re ascribing that to me, and it doesn’t provide any argument to the main claim that “disliking AI is always from right-wing capitalism”.
5. While I get your overall point here and mostly agree that AI is ‘just a tool’, the rest of your point is based on banning, which is not part of the discussion. Also, it’s a pretty false equivalent argument, but I assume you’re not expecting it to be a 1:1 comparison, just trying to make the point that it’s just a tool and should not be labeled as inherently bad.
6. Once again, you’re conflating an “anti-AI movement” with just not liking AI. I don’t know if there’ some big coordinated “anti-AI movement” that makes that argument in particular and I’ve somehow never heard of it or seen any evidence of, but it seems to me you’ve created a fake, absurd strawman.
7. That’s great and helps obviate one of my main issues with AI.

In total, you’ve made zero arguments for the logic that any sentiment of disliking AI should be met with hostility and all comes from a source of “right-wing liberals”. All I see is unfounded attempts of vilifying people who simply disagree with you by shoving a label onto them. Another way to describe this is “bad-jacketing”.

I suggest you read about “bad-jacketing”. Particularly as a moderator and that it is described in rule 1 of the instance.

I will now disengage because I have ample evidence that you and _cryptagion don’t intend on a genuine interaction.

Silly YouTuber, that’s a flying yellow ant.

Now that’s some high quality P-N-G
