I like the idea of this community, and subscribed, but fyi that link doesn't work for me on kbin. This is the right link on here, I believe: https://kbin.social/m/auai@programming.dev - m rather than c.

That would be a pity -personally I think downvotes, for all they can be abused, are a necessary counterpart to upvotes if you’re going to have a voting system at all. “All attention is good attention” doesn’t work well in real life or online.
Now if a change was made to allow individual magazines to choose upvotes+downvotes, only upvotes or none at all, I think there’s a better case for that - let people try different systems for different circumstances,
Short sighted behavior is hardly limited to capitalist enterprises, though.
That’s been my experience as well.
How is Stable Diffusion connected to bad/short term orientated social media company policy changes? The ChatGPT connection I understand, even if I don’t think it’s the root cause. (Interest rate increases I think are more fundamental, even if AI is cited by companies as an influence on their choices.)
Interesting notion.
Good on you! Hope that a lot more people on kbin take this approach.
