I'm sorry to bother you again, man, but I wonder if we have the resources to just fork and not bring the whales. It worked for them during the Steemit fork.

I want to go to the front page and see something interesting and that's never happened the entire time I've been here.

It's all garbage anyway so why dictate a particular medium has to be excluded?

And I really do want to emphasize medium. No one gives a painter shit for using canvas instead of a cave wall nor do they expect them to dig and crush roots instead of buying paint.

The original post is the medium the idea is painted on. The value it can produce comes from the conversations it starts.

What are your thoughts on it when viewed from that perspective? Do you still feel like it's just AI slop or is it more akin to using tech to extrapolate value from places it may otherwise be to difficult or expensive to reach?

I think this question goes far beyond my personal issue of flagging. I think this is a conversation we are going to have either now, when our opinions can have influence over the directions we choose, or later after we end up wherever we land and look back to realize it's was all the same old song and dance... not different from the powershift heralded by the printing press and every other technology.
