  1. Ah, yes, the pinnacle of tech journalism: an article promising groundbreaking features like open weights and 2K video, only to be foiled by the epic saga of #JavaScript and #cookies. 🍪🔒 Who needs actual content when you can just gatekeep it behind a browser setting? 😂

  3. Started to think about leaving all those #Grifting and #GateKeeping propriatory #TechBros apps and platforms like #iOS, #Microsoft and #Google for the clean free air of a #Linux distro? Here is a great site to survey the alternate offererings.

  5. I spent a decade not knowing what pointers were. I shipped anyway. That's the path. The wave of contempt aimed at vibe-coders isn't standards — it's the same anti-AI crowd wearing a new label. No roadmap, just gatekeeping. The answer isn't outrage. It's outlasting them. Keep building, work up the stack, and leave the door open. Read the full article — link in bio.

  7. I generally agree with the sentiment that the fediverse is "big enough" and that it doesn't need to "grow", in terms of how many people are here.

    That is, if we can grow the diversity of our community and at the same time kick out the gatekeepers.

    Sorry you feel that way, but it’s your life bro…
    Just so you know, I’m coming from the perspective of #Resistance and slowly weaning myself off anything that is #TechBros, #Grifting and #Gatekeeping and especially #GenAISlop. I want to liberate myself from their $$/info-sucking yokes and to champion free web, FOSS and not for profit app dev. Call me insane if you like, but after 5 decades I’m tired of being taken for a servile (not to say slave) idiot by #BigUSTech especially.

  11. I see that anti-AI people need to be hostile towards and harass those who use AI so that people will join them to not use AI. I have survived many people's harassment attempts related to people noticing my AI usage. Please read my pinned post; you are free to leave me respectfully if you do not want to see my AI content.

  16. CW: on Fedi gatekeeping

    @wraptile - In principle I would agree with "A bit of gatekeeping keeps the network healthy".

    The question is, what _kind_ of gatekeeping exactly?

    Personally I'd prefer if we didn't have unmoderated signup. That favours growth over sustainability, because each open instance adds to the moderator load for every other instance. (it's not coincidence that a disproportionate number of spammers come from mastodon.social.)

    Or, if we're _going_ to have unmoderated signup, I favour development of moderation software options like the old-school "first few posts are reviewed before letting through".

    This thread you've joined in on is criticising one specific niche of a niche of gatekeeping: rebuking people in horrific circumstances for not complying with a convention they probably didn't even know existed. That kind of rebuke is in my opinion uncompassionate and excessive.

    It's also unnecessary: the people in that situation are a tiny proportion of Fedi users, and a small proportion even of the people skipping alt text (some others also with good reason). Even for the people who _need_ alt text, it's generally gonna be pretty obvious "oh right, they're in a war zone, and this probably isn't their first language either".

    To my mind, part of the "health of the network" is the ability to take into account that people are in different circumstances with different resources.

  20. Gatekeeper is a dangerous thing for any profession as it alienates those who are new or have less time in than others who are trying to control the narrative. All this does is damage the profession, industry, and eventually those a part of it. #gatekeeping #alienated #professional #business #narrative

  22. On #arxiv, authors of a new study conclude that open #PeerReview isn't just a #gatekeeping mechanism, and that #scientific papers with a greater #revision #burden are more likely to end up being highly #cited." 🌟 arxiv.org/abs/2604.14047 (H/T to @enniscath.bsky.social.)

  24. Having started my most recent "maths I'm not smart enough for" book, I hypothesize that the proportion of words like "clearly", "obviously" or "evident" would be inversely related to any objective measure of the didactic quality of the book.

  26. Boykott, Webseitenbetreiber anschreiben - Ich lese viele Gedanken zum dreist-monopolistischen QR Code #reCAPTCHA von #Google.

    De facto verhindert Google damit den unabhängigen, uneingeschränkten Zugang zum freien Internet.

    Mein Weg geht deshalb über die #Bundesnetzagentur als staatliche Aufsichtsbehörde.
    Und ich kann alle nur dazu aufrufen, dort ebenfalls Druck zu machen:

  27. Kein Google, kein Internet:
    Das ist mir vor einigen Tagen auch passiert.

    Ein #reCAPTCHA, das nur mit QR Code bestätigt werden kann.
    Der Klopper ist:
    der Code lässt sich ausschließlich mit einer #Google App aufrufen, die Play Dienste erfordert.
    Hat man wie ich ein Custom Rom ohne Play Dienste, wirst Du komplett daran gehindert, die Webseite zu öffnen.

    Was zur Hölle? Das ist Erpressung!

  33. I’ve spent a month here, and it's time to be honest: a lot of the "anti-AI" movement uses the exact same playbook as the far-right. It's less about supporting human artists and more about gatekeeping and witch hunts. :BlobhajTinyHeart:

    Wrote a full post about the hypocrisy of this crusade and how it hurts actual indie creators.

  35. This was what I got for an edutainment video. What's in it that can't be shown to more than a sixth of the world's population?

    Let's be real. This isn't the creator. It's the who decided it should be this way, and the platforms that enable it.

    As a layperson, can you imagine the societal damage caused by this sort of deliberate content by the class? Here's a clue - we're never the winners.

    Choose better, people!

  39. @abuerkl Eigener Bookshop geht, also Direktverkauf. Da bleibt am meisten bei uns hängen und ist easy für eBooks. Leider gibt's keine Print on Demand Anbieter mit APIs für Indies (für Verlage schon!). Außer Lulu – und über deren Margen und dass die Daten der Kund:innen erstmal in die USA fließen, ehe ein Druck in der EU ausgelöst wird, müssen wir da nicht reden. Sonst wären auch gedruckte Bücher aus dem eigenen Shop leicht zu machen. Aber #Gatekeeping können sie hier leider noch immer am besten.

  40. 🚫🤖 Behold, the #future of AI: a majestic 403 Forbidden Error — a state-of-the-art visualization of technological advancement! 😆 Clearly, 2026 is when AIs finally learn the ancient art of #gatekeeping. 💻👾
