    The excuse used to be that it was new and would eventually get around to it.

    Yep

    It is a design choice to offer a news feed that combines verified news sources with tankie memes — interspersed with photos generated by AI

    I've really tried to provide tools to tame the meme flood and put them into effect on https://PieFed.social - compare that with the front-page (or All feed) of any Lemmy instance (or most PieFed instances, to be fair).

    Gen AI filter is coming.
