  Oh, good to know, thanks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Artists dump X as launch of new AI image editing feature sparks outrage - Cryptopolitan⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s what I said right after

  (Obviously the whole situation applies to the apathetic/apolitical ones, the “actively fighting against other peoples causes because they aren’t your own” bunch can go fuck themselves)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Artists dump X as launch of new AI image editing feature sparks outrage - Cryptopolitan⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The ones in the US barely have any excuse, I agree, but it’s better to leave it late than never. Then eventually when Instagram enshittifies under that aspect too they’ll find another platform (hopefully on the fediverse).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Artists dump X as launch of new AI image editing feature sparks outrage - Cryptopolitan⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, unfortunately this was the best article I could find in English, better than nothing I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Artists dump X as launch of new AI image editing feature sparks outrage - Cryptopolitan⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not necessarily saying this is the case for these artists, but the sad truth is the current society is perfectly engineered to make the average worker as apathetic as possible.

  You work 8 hours a day not counting commute and meals, which means you’re left with very little free time, and you’re really tired on top of that. Plenty of people choose to spend that time doing things that actually make them happy or relaxed, instead of looking at the state of the world and being even more sad because of learned (or sometimes even actual) helplessness.

  Of course, it would be better if they didn’t, but can you really blame them when the system is stacked against us?

  I’m not saying every Japanese person still on there is unaware of that, but the general coverage is MUCH smaller than what you get if you’re in English-speaking spaces.

  I also heavily doubt someone of korean origins like Boichi is a Sanseito supporter, but that’s just my guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Artists dump X as launch of new AI image editing feature sparks outrage - Cryptopolitan⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately, the two “big names” I know of (Boichi and Kei Urana) are both going to Instagram.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Artists dump X as launch of new AI image editing feature sparks outrage - Cryptopolitan⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I know, I just couldn’t find a better term to distinguish the two. I’m sorry if that sounded diminishing to them, it was definitely not my intention.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Artists dump X as launch of new AI image editing feature sparks outrage - Cryptopolitan⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think all the uproar is about new Grok functions that allow you to edit with AI and repost (aka distribute) images directly from within Xitter (I’m not sure that this is the case but I’m definitely not going to log in that thing to verify that).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Artists dump X as launch of new AI image editing feature sparks outrage - Cryptopolitan⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  “Actual artists” as opposed to “fanartists”, in the sense of “people who are under contract and are hired to do art as a job”.

  Of course I’m not saying people who don’t have a team aren’t “real artists”, it was just a way to differentiate fanartists from people like Boichi.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Artists dump X as launch of new AI image editing feature sparks outrage - Cryptopolitan⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ehh… it’s one of the biggest platforms in Japan, and if it starts pissing off that fanbase it’s not a good look. Definitely won’t “die” either, but it might be a considerable hit (and hopefully boost for the Fediverse, or at least Bluesky).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Artists dump X as launch of new AI image editing feature sparks outrage - Cryptopolitan⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolute facts. Also it’s one thing when it’s fanartists which just do that as a past time, but actual artists should have a dedicated team and it really shouldn’t be hard to crosspost on multiple platforms, should it…?

  It’s just free visibility that they’re ignoring, definitely a huge head scratcher.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Artists dump X as launch of new AI image editing feature sparks outrage - Cryptopolitan⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Generally in Japan they don’t see much of Elon’s “prowesses”, so I can kinda understand why artists like him might not have caught wind of the Nazi direction the platform has taken until it actually hit them.

  And yes, Ignorantia non excusat, but it’s still something, at least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Artists dump X as launch of new AI image editing feature sparks outrage - Cryptopolitan⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, unfortunately Boichi is leaving… for Instagram.

  But hopefully this is at least a wake-up call for some artists that they should really consider leaving for platforms with “less malicious intentions”. Maybe one day someone as big as him will decide to go fediverse, we can only hope.

  I think they’re planning to take legal action, not sure through which means though

  The union remains unbowed and is fighting to win the reinstatement of every dismissed member of staff at Rockstar through legal means and campaigning.

  This fight is critical, if Rockstar can get away with this, they will keep treating their workers with disdain, disrespect, and subjecting them to continued illegal treatment.

  Thanks for your time, and I hope this is some truth that helps you all understand what’s going on here at the moment.

  I you would be so kind, you can contribute to the fundraiser to support those fighting their dismissal here: actionnetwork.org/…/support-rockstar-workers-figh…

  As for Ishii: “Social media was being social media” sums up how much you care on that front.

  I didn’t minimize what happened. I just asked if Sucker Punch had any role in that since I wouldn’t boycott a game just because there’s assholes in its fanbase.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar Games Employee Calls Out Studio For Spreading “Disinformation and Lies”, Union Busting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sucker Punch fired one of their senior devs for a mario and luigi joke when kirk got got. EVERYONE was angry, the studio heads came out to say they stand by their decision, and plenty of people were keyed in to the hell that Erika Ishii has had to put up with on social media for daring to portray a female character in a video game.

  (I didn’t know about any of this before this comment so apologize if I’m misinterpreting)

  From what I read though, there were A LOT of angry people even because of the joke, weren’t there? I’m guessing they had to take a stance and went with the “killing is bad” to not get too politically involved. Which is still a coward move, but personally not something I’d boycott a game over.

  What happened with Erika Ishii? Social media was being social media and I know that, but did Sucker Punch themselves do anything to contribute to that?

  Was this meant to be a reply to a comment?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar Games Employee Calls Out Studio For Spreading “Disinformation and Lies”, Union Busting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Different people, probably. And a complete can change a lot in 7 years (in recent times, usually not for the better).

  Huh, never actually posted there so I wasn’t aware, that’s nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pop it in your calendars⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, they’ve just filed a lawsuit against Krafton, to me that says they’re pretty confident about being right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PieFed.World is now open⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty much every .world post I see is people complaining about mods, aka not “the people who run lemmy.world”. I had to go back like 4 months to find anything about admins, and tbh it’s kind of understandable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PieFed.World is now open⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Except even that never happened and it was just overcautious mods dealing with vague ToS. The only thing the admins did in that whole issue was make the ToS more clear.

  I’d like to see what do you mean about it happening “over and over”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PieFed.World is now open⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, it’s not like there’s a !luigimangione@lemmy.world community or a fuckton of related posts in other ones with no action taken whatsoever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PieFed.World is now open⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh, just the fact that a modlog exists (and that you can effectively see which moderator performed the action through filtering by moderator) is something I’ve never seen in any other online platform, the lack of a notification could not even be intentional (there’s even an open issue in GitHub by dessalines himself).

  I’m glad the PieFed devs put the matter in their own hands since, as I said, it’s not a huge issue for me but I can understand why it would be for others.

  (As in, I can understand why people would move to PieFed, Mbin, or any other fediverse alternative. I’m seriously confused at people who don’t like Lemmy for being too authoritarian-adjacent and move back to freaking Reddit)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PieFed.World is now open⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some users don’t want to support a project that’s being developed by people they don’t like.

  It’s kind of how some people left Reddit because of Spez, even though the amount of money Lemmy devs make doesn’t remotely compare, and the risk of enshittification/imposition of views is minimal due to the whole project being open source.

  I personally don’t see it as a huge issue, but I can relate (and I’d definitely see it differently if I was actively supporting the platform through donations).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PieFed.World is now open⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I see, that’s nice. I know a LOT of people were turned off by Lemmy because of the .ml devs, hopefully PieFed is more appealing to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PieFed.World is now open⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  (Although adding to the other comment, since it’s federated, you can see and interact with all of Piefed’s content from Lemmy and vice versa)
