Reintroduction thread 🧵

Hi 👋 people call me Bill

I know that might be confusing, since this is nominally a cat account

To be clear, I'm a human from Western New York; cats can't type

Just a heads up: my gen-z coworkers had this discussion a month ago

Kinda telling that it's only now getting to this site

Ditto & Friends @dittoandfriends.bsky.social · 2d

AI slurs discourse:

No one is concerned you are hurting AIs feelings

The concern is with your eagerness to use and defend a word which is analogous to (and rhymes with) a slur which we all agree is extremely harmful

Just something to think about

Ditto & Friends @dittoandfriends.bsky.social · 2d

Allies: Of course I listen, consider, and respect the views of those to whom I pledge my allyship

Same allies: I will fight to the death for the right to use my pretend slur

Sorry for asking everything is a struggle with me being sick too. If anyone has a few bucks they can spare so we can make it until the next paycheck and get what we need it would be more than appreciated, especially now. Thanks anyways
