    If we write content for closed platforms known to do terrible things, I guess we should not be surprised when said platforms do terrible things.

    I keep trying to convince people not to use Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter/X, but I'm not getting anywhere.

    Write your own content and post it on your own terms using services that you either own or that can't be overtaken by corporate greed (like Mastodon).

      So many thoughts on this...

      The platforms and their convenience that one "only" has to write the post yet the internet needs so much metadata, so it tried to autogenerate it, instead of asking for it. People are put off by need to write a bloody subject for an email already, imagine if they were shown what's actually the "content" is.

      About convincing: get the few that matters on deltachat, so they don't need anything new or extra - it's just email on steroids.

      As for Mastodon: it's still someone else's system, there's nothing stopping them from adding AI metadata either on those nodes.

        Why deltachat, an app I've never heard of before instead of Signal, which is also open source and at least has a bit of traction?

        Is it like a gender reveal where they pop a balloon that says "I cheated!"?
