The fediverse used to feel pretty anti-ai, but over the past month or two I've noticed a LOT of generated memes and images, and they tend to have positive votes.

Has there been a sudden culture shift here? Or is there a substantial percentage of people just unable to tell the difference anymore?

Huh, I wouldn't have guessed db0, interesting. I'd kinda considered exploring db0 as a future instance but maybe its not such a good fit for me. Thanks for the answer!

    What I'll say is that I really don't mind it. Personally, I'm not a big fan of AI art at all, and I don't really use generative AI much in any capacity. I also don't see generative AI on my feed... Basically ever? I guess because I don't really browse Local.

    db0 is anarchist, and that does come with some lenience that some people might find to be a little off-putting, but the AI part of it is pretty much irrelevant, unless you're seeking it out - from my experience, at least, and based on how I use Lemmy.

    Not that I mean to shill for db0 tho lol use whatever instance you feel like fits you best!

    Thanks for your input! I'll have to take a minute some time to go to the web interface and just look around db0 and see for myself whether it feels like a good fit for me, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts!
