@haubles Thank you!

[lutindiscret@mastodon.libre-entreprise.com]

@haubles can you sum it up? The thread is now so long i don't know what you are talking about

[neckspike@indiepocalypse.social]

@lutindiscret
@haubles compared fedi's general antipathy towards genAI to driving away black people, admits to trolling for blog material

[lilpecan@mastodon.social]

@haubles I'd argue shitposting is not engagement.

[kevin@mastodon.km6g.us]

@haubles Let's all hope the day when 'engagement' stops being a thing that social media users care about is sooner than later.

[darkpixel@infosec.exchange]

@haubles Mad respect lol

[seg@oldbytes.space]

@LilPecan @haubles shitposting is life

[troed@swecyb.com]

@haubles I would be more interested in knowing whether Gargron's puppy killer post does.

[wolfinpdx@defcon.social]

@haubles

Might be time for y'all to send him along to his next opportunity.

[troed@swecyb.com]

@lutindiscret

Scott found it problematic that some people on Mastodon pour hate in people's mentions instead of using block/mute.

The ones who want to pour hate didn't like that.

@haubles

[colinstu@birdbutt.com]

@haubles @Seg @scottjenson “address” by giving him the boot right? Right?

[tkissing@mastodon.social]

@troed @lutindiscret @haubles Can you show me on this doll where the AI got hurt?

[troed@swecyb.com]

@tkissing

Scott's posts weren't about AI.

The people who want to spend their days pouring hate over AI pretend to not understand that.

@lutindiscret @haubles

[tkissing@mastodon.social]

@troed @lutindiscret @haubles Well then I'm glad you can read their minds and explain it to me, because I didn't see that.

[troed@swecyb.com]

@tkissing Then maybe you should spend more time reading rather than posting stupid doll takes.

@lutindiscret @haubles

[mirth@mastodon.sdf.org]

@haubles I couldn't discern a real point of view in his thread. I don't even know if there is a "Mastodon community", or if the "Twitter community" even existed in the way he seems to think it did. The Mastodon experience I see is no doubt very different from what other people get, and that is mostly a feature rather than a bug.

[64bithero@mstdn.games]

@haubles I am confused , I didn’t hear any one allude to Mastodon staff taking this persons side.

Don’t know if anything had to be said. He’s just like every other social media leach. I wasn’t taking to be anything official.

Maybe I missed something

[eobet@mas.to]

@64bithero the person in question is on the Mastodon advisory board, if I've understood things correctly.

[64bithero@mstdn.games]

@eobet I understand. Looking over their resume and seeing how they currently spend their time and make their living I think there a poor candidate to be involved with Mastodon

[inthemesh_@mastodon.social]

@haubles I understand this disclaimer, but i do think apologizing is a little strange. You guys didn't do anything. At no point did I think Scott's opinions represented Mastodon as an org, nor do I get that impression from his profile. It might be prudent to require a "Opinions not endorsed by employer" blurb in Masto employee bios though.

I just hope this doesn't get him fired. Seems some people want to make a bigger deal out of this then it should be, imo.
