It’s easy to opt out.
Don’t use Instagram. Use (or if you have more tech smarts than I do, run) a Pixelfed instance instead.
Can’t wait for peoples faces to start appearing in AI generated images
It’s why many artists are moving to Cara now
They could move to the great pixelfed and give something every month.
I’m genuinely curious why? I read a little bit about Cara and sure it sounds nice but what’s particularly stopping them from pulling the same move as Meta in the future?
Well, they are run by artists and founded by a pretty famous photographer, so it’s more probable that they’ll stick to it than, say, a tech billionaire trying to control the world and pump stocks. That could always change of course, but I’d say they are a safer bet than any company built on harvesting data.
Fair point, I’m somewhat skeptical and don’t want my favourite artists jumping from app to app (they already have to deal with so many platforms). I can see why so many moved to that platform since I’m unaware of any activitypub applications that protects against data harvesting. Personally, enjoying Cara far more than Instagram since I mainly used it to follow artists.
What I can readily see happening is when these “AI regulations” get introduced and Cara begins allowing AI-gen art on their platform, this will further divide and fragment. I hope I’m wrong.
Anti-libre software, Cara and Instagram, ban us from removing malicious source code.
I don’t think there’s only Instagram… Sadly…
I guess I’m opted out since I don’t have an acct
