One of the hidden gems of being on Fedi is that people here are, generally, not falling for the LLM hype. <\/p>
So we don't get much in the way of deepfake videos, or other AI slop, coming down our timelines (or at least, I certainly don't; no one I follow is making or boosting AI slop). <\/p>
I was just watching a video warning about this, and the creator said \"we've probably all been swarmed by those ads using deepfakes to push dodgy financial schemes\" - I'm like, what? we have? - \"and further, deepfakes of politicians all over social media, being pushed in front of us\". Again, I\"m thinking \"Wow, that's not my experience of social media.\" <\/p>
But this is my only social media site, really. I don't count Discord; those are basically closed systems. They don't push anything in front of you you didn't already want there. <\/p>
Which just struck me as interesting. Throw in a really good ad-blocker, and I just don't see any of this shit going around. <\/p>
And, \u00e0 propos de rien, I use a web client for Fedi. Which means I get to see my adblocker adding up all the ads it's blocked at the top of each page. <\/p>
I love coming over to the Fedi tab, because the adblocker counter remains firmly locked on zero.<\/p>","url":"https:\/\/wargamers.social\/@oldladyplays\/114992097210510457","status_net":{"notice_id":null}},"to":[{"objectType":"http:\/\/activitystrea.ms\/schema\/1.0\/collection","id":"http:\/\/activityschema.org\/collection\/public"}],"status_net":{"conversation":"tag:gnusocial.jp,2025-08-08:objectType=thread:nonce=15811055080e52ff","notice_info":{"local_id":"10734162","source":"ActivityPub","repeat_of":"10733836"}},"published":"2025-08-08T12:59:38+00:00","provider":{"objectType":"service","displayName":"GNU social JP","url":"https:\/\/gnusocial.jp\/"},"title":"GreenSkyOverMe repeated a notice by oldladyplays","verb":"share","url":"https:\/\/ohai.social\/users\/GreenSkyOverMe\/statuses\/114993264735029013\/activity"},{"actor":{"id":"https:\/\/urusai.social\/users\/qgustavor","displayName":"Gustavo","status_net":{"avatarLinks":[{"url":"https:\/\/gnusocial.jp\/avatar\/247789-original-tmp20240307183449.webp","rel":"avatar","type":"image\/webp","width":400,"height":400},{"url":"https:\/\/gnusocial.jp\/avatar\/247789-96-20240903123515.webp","rel":"avatar","type":"image\/webp","width":96,"height":96},{"url":"https:\/\/gnusocial.jp\/avatar\/247789-48-20240903123515.webp","rel":"avatar","type":"image\/webp","width":48,"height":48},{"url":"https:\/\/gnusocial.jp\/avatar\/247789-24-20240903123515.webp","rel":"avatar","type":"image\/webp","width":24,"height":24}],"profile_info":{"local_id":"247789"}},"image":{"url":"https:\/\/gnusocial.jp\/avatar\/247789-96-20240903123515.webp","rel":"avatar","type":"image\/webp","width":96,"height":96},"objectType":"person","summary":"Grammar nazis are welcome to point out any typos and other mistakes in my toots :btr_kita_wave: I still have a lot to learn!
