@mttaggart Revenge of the bots. Creepy.

@jerry Wow. So, it's more widespread. That's unfortunate. Is this about politics, then?

@jerry Is it just me or has the server been a bit like a ghost town recently? I suspect you might say this is one of the low periods that come and go.

It seems like there are more lurkers than participants. My guess is that this is not a primary account for a lot of new people, if they stay.

@cR0w Okay, what's with the polka dots?

It looks like HolosDiscover, which purports to be a fediverse search engine that respects privacy, also re-posts conversations. I just blocked it, but you might want to check it out first:

The overall AI crap show is like a runaway train that's, hopefully, hurtling toward a cliff.

The show "is meant to cover notable events that took place in the American Revolutionary War, but has instead mostly drawn attention to how awful its AI visuals look, on top of its persistent anachronisms."

@jerry Congrats. Now you don't have to worry about missing the cats.

@briankrebs Why would a lone, unsupported pedophile do something like that?

@BLTpizza @briankrebs That's right. The doofus who made this deal doesn't care about the implications: they are not his cross to bear. But what is the criteria that will be used? Who will be banned from entry? Who will be punished? Based on what? Gender? Immigration? Opinion? Are visitors seriously considering handing over their DNA and entire family, email, and social media history for a decade to the people who just murdered another civilian in cold blood?

@jimfl @briankrebs Oh, we wouldn't want that, would we? The tantrum that follows would be catastrophic.

@briankrebs FIFA's Word Cup tournaments in the U.S. need to be boycotted or cancelled. This puts the world at the mercy of these thugs.
