@ajroach42 Context? I see they have an announcement on their site about closing the forums and other places where minors may be present and doing background checks, so I assume there was some sort of harassment going on, but I can't seem to find any details about it?

@ajroach42 (I'm going to be really sad if this is bad, because I've used them as an example of small software that doesn't try to do too much and just facilitates real community building in the past )

@sam They appear to have gone all in on AI, and are claiming that any concerns about AI are invalid because of classism and ableism?
or at least that's what I took away from the article being shared today.

@ajroach42 *sigh* that was what I assumed initially before I found the link about the leadership firings and forum shakeup.
I thought we were done with this after they got those scam book "publishers" that charge you a bunch of money you'll never make back to publish your book a few years back and they got in hot water for it.

@ajroach42 It's also telling (though I'm able bodied so it's very possible that I'm just wrong on this since I don't tend to hang out in the spaces that would know) that I've never heard someone who eg. uses a screen reader or what not say that AI is super helpful to them. I've only heard able-bodied AI sales people say that if you don't buy their product you're being ableist.

@ajroach42 @sam @forestine I can see that. I know plenty of writers who have to *hide* because they are using AI tools. I benefit so much from AI tools due to (at least that's what I can trace it to) my neurodivergence. There are plenty of uses of text models that don't entail "ripping off other artists work".

@sam @ajroach42 there aren't just physical disabilities.

@mnl @ajroach42 fwiw I was literally trying to find a better stand in than able-bodied to say "obviously I have no lived experience and am not the expert" but couldn't think of anything. Open to terms that take a broader view and don't imply physical disability, if you're willing to teach. Thanks.
