There are only a few places online where people can gather and interact that _isn't_ massively tipping the scales in favor of AI. But there's no secret cabal of terminally online posters coordinating harassment campaigns to keep AI fans out. (As a terminally online poster, I feel like I would know) It's just that they're not popular here. Which is, actually, extremely predictable. They are artificially supported everywhere else, so if course this space has a higher proportion of members who are less than interested.

So, if we're an unusually tough crowd, it's because they did a bunch of crowd manipulation most everywhere else. And if they can't handle a tough crowd, that is no reason to suggest doing that same crowd manipulation here. 🤷‍♀️
