If you don’t own the site, you exist at their whim.
Generative AI has made a new type of spam profitable, and it will impact all of us.
Having posts removed is annoying. Having things you wrote ALTERED without your knowledge or consent by a social media company means that you can trust *nothing* written on that social media site.
There is no central authority verifying any identity on the internet. You are responsible for doing the due diligence to make sure that account you’re talking to *really is* whom they claim to be.
“Direct” is not the same as “private”.
If you have the knowledge, use it for the good of your local community.
