@graf@Shini_Koroshi@CozyPuPP Only issue I noticed was me posting a hi-res video and it having trouble loading, but IDK enough about how your site does video compression to even address it lmao. Really my fault for not compressing it first since I figured there would be a more aggressive compression automatically. Most lower res vids I've seen load fine. Other than that everything seems smooth, thankful and glad to have this site.
@Shini_Koroshi@CozyPuPP I really think Torba is focused on new gimmicks with AI and stuff and just sees the social site as dead weight. I feel like this was his way to squeeze money out of nice people that trusted him before the place is folded up entirely.
If he really wanted to save the site with funding, there were 1000 better ways to do it. Better appeals to raise funds, better compromises and rewards, etc. I would have likely stayed there if the ability to post lower res images stayed intact for free users, and I likely would have considered upgrading for the ability to post videos, since that matters to me.
Yet, the site has had bugs and bad functionality now for a couple of years, problems that were never addressed. The way he abruptly announced this and then absolutely SHIT on his users made it pretty clear he just wanted us to leave.
His attitude and deception pissed me off far more than losing my ability to post images. He shit on my friends, some of the nicest and most generous people I've known online, and he basically nuked and shattered entire communities because he's an egotistical faggot.
@dudebro@CozyPuPP It's definitely in the same vein as that, crypto, NFTs. AI has actual automated applications, but I'm noticing EVERYTHING is being slapped with it as a marketing buzzword now. "Hotdogs, made by AI" or some shit like that.

It's GROYPER SEASONI haven't been thinking much about gab in the past day or so, but I just checked out their weird AI site. I honestly never visited it before, and I remember when that url went to the main gab social site. I had not been paying attention to it at all, but going there, I think it's pretty obvious this is Torba's newest venture. He is basically closing down Gab Social or abandoning it and getting people to sign up for "Pro" is just a way to get some money from its users without having to maintain it too much. Cut the free chaff, cut expenses, and focus on the AI thing.
I also haven't been paying too much attention to the "AI" thing, but it seems to be a big business now. It seems like it's the newest buzzword to get people/businesses to sign up for a service. I don't know how good the gab AI is, but if I had to guess, it probably can't compete with actual better AIs anyway.
@CozyPuPP Yeah I wasn't paying much attention to AI in general because I kind of saw the applications of them and didn't care, but now it's a legitimate selling point for brands in every industry. It's weird, but it seems the common person is attracted to and puts trust in machine learning.

I got him down to one heart, and then he bit my fingers and started gnawing on them. I slammed him down again and he ran out of hearts. I was expecting to get a key from him, but he just stood up and stared at me. We both seemed confused. Then I woke up. I do not know why I dreamed of this red squirrel.
