@scottjenson yeah I had a pretty kneejerk reaction when I saw that comparison because it read like it was borderline racist to me.
I think that the fediverse should absolutely be better to minorities, especially Black communities, because we have had a pretty terrible track record in that regard. at the same time, a lot of people on here (and bluesky too!) are very tech-skeptic so of course posts about AI would be met with a negative response. I think there's some merit in trying to balance out supporting different and unique cultures but also understanding which topics might be considered taboo on here.
and then again, a lot of people have become very militant about the things that they don't like and should be a lot more accepting instead of immediately bringing out the pitchforks! I'll admit that I'm guilty of that too. everything is a huge delicate balance that I feel might be a good conversation if AI wasn't involved.
I'm just rambling at this point though
