tumblr fucking outlived amino
I'm not surprised because amino sucked but it's funny because it was supposed to be like a better tumblr
it's also not funny because we can't let matt mullenweg know you can just close a website if it isn't profitable
AMINO DIED???
Amino died a sudden death in December and clearly nobody gave a shit about it because I only found out today myself
When youre a kid youre like wtf adults are making themselves sick with poisons and when youre an adult youre like i need more poisons ASAP

harry potter fandom experiencing such a revival in the last 5 or so years to the point where 5 out of the top 10 ships on ao3 this year are hp AFTER that woman started fully funding hate campaigns with her royalties is so bleak. fandom isn’t an indicator of morality but what are we doing here man.
I don't know if people are aware, but in the middle of last year, there was a whole mess of batch-uploading/account connecting from the former FictionAlley site and it wasn't necessarily done by the author.
I assumed the site was dead and all my fics were long lost. I'd also been going through every archive I could find where my Potter fics were still available and purging them all.
So imagine my surprise when I start getting notifications that multiple Potter fics have been added to my account and attributed to me. They were mine, but they weren't being added by me - my email for FA and my email for AO3 were the same, so there was some weird importing/association shenanigans happening which meant I suddenly had 20+ and rising Potter fics turning up on my account.
Thankfully, there was an option to let them to know to stop slapping my fics onto my account without my approval. I get there's some element of "we're archiving fics for the future", but that was a horrible, horrible thing to wake up to. I don't want to be associated by that woman any more than I have to be, even if that fandom was once incredibly important to me.
In the end I had to go back through my account and manually delete every. single. one. I think I was at upwards of 40 by the time they stopped.
I don't know if this has happened to other authors or if, to 'archive' said fics, they are importing them under the FA name. I just know it would be worth having a check on AO3 to make sure your fics aren't there under an old e-mail address.
hey it’s ok if you lost your ai virginity back when you were uneducated. a lot of posts go like “reblog if you have never ever used generative ai and never ever will!!!” but it’s ok if you have used gen ai before and it’s even ok if you used to think it was cool, back before you understood what it really was and how it worked, either because no one had taught you about it and you discovered it on your own or because the only education you had received about it was from the tech bros. you’re not a burger with a bite out of it for having used ai. ok
It is 100 percent okay to stop using it today and join the "boo AI" club.
This isn't a purity thing. This is a "everyone stand with us against destroying the environment and giving asthma to poor people" thing.
Did you know that when one community says no to an AI data center, they specifically search out communities with fewer resources? Communities that can't defend themselves? And the pollution 100 percent affects their health and wellbeing, in addition to burning through our already scarce drinking water.
You can stop using character.ai today. You can say "I listened to the facts and stopped." And another thing: don't you think it's a bit more impactful to have used it, stopped, and then you're in a position to say how little it helped? How doing things for yourself improved your life?
also posts in the spirit of "if you've used AI even ONCE your soul is tainted!!!!" can't be great to those with OCD
