I quit corporate social media LONG before LLMbecile slop existed ... because it was an antisocial wasteland.
Once Facebook started injecting shit I do not care for instead of posts by people I've friended I've stopped using it altogether. I cannot imagine using Instagram or any other infinite scroll media.
Corporate social media run by Big Tech. This isn't really a problem on community-run services because we, the people, aren't putting up with this crap. 😂
Thank god for the fediverse!
Don't get too comfortable. There have been a number of AI bots that have been caught posting around these parts.
Yeah, but the difference is good server mods will try to fight back against that just like they would spam of any sort. Meanwhile, Meta is literally handing people tools to create slop! OpenAI has a slop-only "social" platform! 😵💫
Yeah, it's interesting to see things like this, because I am apparently kinda isolated from most of this. The fediverse appears to be fine.
On more mainstream social media people care more about trends and certain memes than they care about social part of social media. Like you can find friends there. I have few friends on tiktok which I now mostly use for texting with them but tiktok now added streaks on DM (like Snapchat streaks) and I can't even talk they just send videos that are not even funny, video literally just being "use this video to save your streak" like not even cat videos.
Well, still certainly much more of it over here than I would like to see. But it is less.
Wait, what was it before??
Antisocial land of people
Oh no, but if grandpa gets tired of Facebook where will he get all his thoughtful opinions?

Yeah no, thats how social media has been for years. AI slop just made it a little worse.
You know, in times where machines casually pass the Turing Test, you can't decide whether another user on the internet is a human or a machine by looking at their output alone. There needs to be a way outside of the internet (that means, in physical life) to establish who's a human and who is not.
That means, local libraries could do account authentication to make it apparent who's a real human and who is not.
Even Meta says Social Media is dead lmao
