I never cared that much about it, but it is a shame that another alternative is going down.

Depends on what you mean by toxic. If you mean there are less bots that are deployed by the owner to boost user numbers for venture capitalists, yes it is less toxic.

if you mean "will I encounter people with different opinions than me, and we may argue over it indefinitely" then, yeah i guess you could say it is "just as toxic"

    There is a difference between arguing and brigading. Whether it's done by humans or bots doesn't make much of a difference. If the narrative being spread is one dimensional, that's toxic.

    Dogpiling someone for having an AI avatar is going a little far.

    It wasnt an AI avatar. It was an AI advertisement that used an uncanny AI generated goth girl, and after being asked "why didnt you just make something yourself in gimp?" responded like a toddler shitting his pants saying "well YOU GUYS are all STUPID because ive been using AI since I started WORKING on deltachat so why is this DIFFERENT?"

    Which is why I have since uninstalled deltachat. I am not going to trust my privacy and security to be kept intact when the code is written by AI. Theres no guarantees the AI won't fuck up and make a massive security breach.

    "A human could do it too!" Sure. they could. A human could also make the decision to drive off the road into a ditch. Most dont unless they're suicidal or by accident. AI driving cars do it without thought or reason.
