Is this AI? I saw there’s a trend of using AI to turn a song into a soul version, eg lightning crashes with strings and a gospel choir: music.apple.com/us/album/lig...

Also, I do value and miss discussions from you and @itaisher.bsky.social but I understand it can be frustrating and not worth it!

Bluesky is getting too many anti-mastodonites. That and anti-dentites.

Totally agree re: your original post, and point taken.

Okay. We disagree.

I’m left handed, FWIW. So you got that too.

I think ownership is just another product characteristic. I would view a boycott as a concerted effort to coordinate. But I’m no expert on boycotts so others probably have more informed opinions there.

I don’t see that as a bigger problem than bigoted ownership, no. But there’s not much to argue there. You disagree. That’s fair enough.

Many people find the owner of the other platform repugnant and therefore choose not to use it. It doesn’t seem there’s much more to it than that. It could be greatest platform on earth otherwise but people would, nonetheless, choose not to use it. The rest is largely subjective line drawing.

To put it rather dryly: the ownership is a product characteristic I strongly disfavor. I don’t like being on a platform he owns.

In seriousness X is really bad and a lunatic controls the algorithm and people’s social temperature there. I do not understand why people keep using it.
