According to the 13th amendment you're already an actual slave state except the slaves are called prisoners.
I hope he suddenly goes all sovereign citizen and handles his own defense.

I compartmentalised a lot using several sock puppets
Damn it, didnt even get a notice about this comment. It uses GANs, similar but not the same as the LLMs used by chatgpt trained on a large set of photos (I think it was trained on the ffhq set) to generate new faces. See youtube for cool videos that transition between faces.
Cringe seem to have become popular to describe all kinds of annoying, uncomfortable, or awkward things lately. Maybe use that instead since the other two uses of gay were pretty well established when people started using it as the third definition.
All the faces on This person does not exist are more believable than any picture of the Zucbot.
Are the crazies the ones banning threads?
This one is easy. I remember the 90s when microsoft pretended to play nice with everyone while they simultaneously did their damndest to destroy any competitor by their embrace and extend tactic. I also remember when AOL opened up their walled garden and the amount of garbage that flooded every usenet group. Im aware that the redditpocalypse probably had the same effect on lemmy but I still support defederation.
Another reason to avoid it is that Jack Dorsey supports known anti-vaxxer and general conspiracy kook Robert F Kennedy Jr. Not the kind of people I'd want to run my social network.
There's the webapp wefwef.app that seem very popular. I'm currently using Connect for Lemmy and it seems to work pretty well. I found a list of clients somewhere that I was planning to go through but that browser tab seems to have been eaten by the Wumpus (not the discord one).
There are places where they don't care about GDPR. It is probably relevant in the giphy case but other sites opreate outside the eu.
And when they combine traffic from you with traffic from others they can infer more info.
I don't think it's dying. I hope it's a paradigm shift like when it changed from wild west lawless chaos to three or four huge companies running all of it. Maybe we end up with everything replaced by different distributed services. It's going to incredibly annoying when half the search results are dead links or links to reddit but that annoyance can drive innovation.
