  • How many goddamn wars over this do we need

  • That was painful. The kind of painful, over-thought joke I would make. Thanks, I hate both of us. >:C

  • Yeah, black Americans have a very distinct culture. Started as slaves, were segregated in a lot of ways, they still often have ghetto neighborhoods, they created unique genres of music with strong black identity and they still have their own entertainment catered towards them. That's America for you.

  • Wow, they really attacked gamers. Conservatives speedrunning how to be hated by everybody.

  • From my experience, black people want to be called black. I'm a white kid, but was raised in a foster family with three black siblings and other black family, including some that lived in a ghetto in another city. It was the 90s and early 2000s, so we watched some BET, we watched the Boondocks, we listened to thug rap, we watched shows with black characters such as All That and Cousin Skeeter. Because it was all a part of my brothers' culture, and they felt attached to it, and "black culture" was cool to all of us. And in anything we participated in I've never heard a single African-American who didn't call themselves "black" and be fine being called that. Maybe there are some rich people like Obama or Tom of The Boondocks who wouldn't call themselves "black", but they seem to be of a different lifestyle and culture than that.

    I've also sometimes made the argument in defense of "black", that "African-American" is mildly politically-incorrect itself— not that I have a problem with the term, just the hyper-vigilant enforcing of it. Because it's not synonymous with skin color itself, it's a statement about where they came from. We don't call white people "European-Americans"; and what do we call non-black African-Americans from, say, Egypt or South America? So... yeah.

  • And things even worse than slavery towards them. And that a lot of racists who would likely shoot black people still use that word on purpose. And that there's still a lot of those people.

  • I hate that cliche'd, untrue, glurgey phrase with a passion. But your point is good.

  • Good news, but it's not "AI". Please stop calling it that.

  • And we'd still call what it was "Twitter".

  • If I block a community, it needs to block its cross-posts.

    Jump

  • So if an instance is defederated from a second, I wouldn't see any cross-posts from the second?

  • Haha, I didn't even notice that last part.

  • I tried Claude once and it was absolute garbage. Then again, it advertised that it could analyze a .txt document and send me results. It only hallucinated that it could give me results.

    Update: I'm using Claude now, at least for a month.

    Additionally, first I thought I liked Gemini, but I'm not interested in an AI that can't remember a conversation. Chat-GPT could at least do that.

  • So what you're saying is, I can block a toxic community, but I am still forced to see when they post the same post again somewhere else.

    Ugh. Can I just block literally every post with a certain word in it? Also every comment with that same word?
