Augmented Reality filters are coming to the fediverse, first with Loops and soon Pixelfed!

@dansup @moralapostel @anatolegc I'm with @moralapostel here. Besides the feature being stupid, childish and tasteless we as fediverse should refrain from pyschological tricks.
Thanks s lot @kdekooter
Your explanation hits the nail on the head. -

@kdekooter @moralapostel @anatolegc what tricks??
There is literally no difference if you edit a photo to add a filter or overlay text/stickers.
I really don't understand why you are calling this stupid and childish, its just a fun feature, and one that isn't required.

@dansup Nope. Unnecessary and counter to original mission. Just my $.02

@dansup @moralapostel @anatolegc Just stating my aesthetical opinion.

@kdekooter @dansup @moralapostel @anatolegc how reactionnary of you
-
@dansup @moralapostel @anatolegc Just stating my aesthetical opinion.
@kdekooter @moralapostel @anatolegc I respect that, but can you not see the comparisons to editing a photo before uploading it?
This is just a fun way to add some flair to your video, we only have a few filters like sunglasses and dog ears, I don't see the harm in that.

AR =/= AI. We've had AR filters as long as Snapchat has existed and it was always done on-device. Without that goofy dog filter I probably wouldn't be with my partner of seven years. Those were simpler times.

@dansup Well, it's an opinion that I'm expressing here. No more, no less. I may have a different aesthetic sensibility, and I also think that trying to copy addictive platforms is not the right way to go. That's how one thing will lead to another in the future... that's my concern.

@kdekooter @dansup @moralapostel @anatolegc Viewers should have a toggle to enable or disable AR effects on each video. We need to fight trickery and combat disinformation. Insta-bans for anyone trying to hide their acne!

@dansup Uninformed people all over the world may like to vote for fascists. Should we do it anyway?
Yes, it's a bad comparison. But in my opinion, it illustrates well why you shouldn't do everything that people like.
@kdekooter@moralapostel
Well, that escalated quickly. Dansup, you literally Hitler!

@moralapostel
Well, that escalated quickly. Dansup, you literally Hitler! @ditol That's definitely not what I said. That's what you're making of it, because you obviously didn't read and understand my text properly.@dansup @kdekooter
-
@anatolegc Yes, in my opinion it does. It copies "trends" from addictive platforms. The Fediverse should strictly refuse to do this. What comes next? An algorithm?
@dansup @kdekooter@moralapostel
The entire Fediverse consists of copies of addictive platforms minus their addictive and harmful features. I don't see how those AR filters are supposed to be harmful.Thry are stupid and fun. Why not let people have some stupid fun on fediverse? Oh, I'm writing this to someone with the nickname Moralapostel. Never mind.

@dansup Brilliant use of programmers' time. The really important stuff.

@ditol @anatolegc Ah, very good. Now comes the distraction from the topic with my chosen profile name.

@kdekooter
Why do you consider them psychological tricks?(I agree on the stupid, childish and tastless part, but this is so extremely subjective that I myself wouldn't care what I say in this regard. People should be allowed to have fun with some stupid, tasteless and childish fun.)

so, how are those filters harmful? -

@kdekooter @dansup @moralapostel @anatolegc, what psychological tricks you mean?
Taste is subjective. Let's people enjoy their taste 🥰

@moralapostel
so, how are those filters harmful?@ditol @anatolegc In my opinion, this is the beginning of a slow dumbing down of the Fediverse. The Fediverse should be better than an unreflective continuation of dependency-creating platforms.

As a #MastoAdmin, you highly underestimate the addictivity of the #Fediverse. I hear from the community over a two-minute downtime.
These same folks are also have addictive tendancies to dihydrogen monoxide.

@chad The latter is, after all, essential for survival
