Self sufficiency is an illusion, it ends with you eaten by bears in the Alaskan wilderness.

Mutual aid and community is the reality that has kept humans alive for 300,000 years.

In other words I understand what you mean, it's rough seeing "it's ONLY AND ALWAYS BAD" and "it's ONLY AND ALWAYS GOOD" and seeing absolutely no nuance in the discussion

Learning how synthv did their consensually-made AI voicebanks genuinely changed how I see the tech (more neutral than before). Now, I can imagine so many ways to prevent the harm that its current use causes... The world just hasn't taken the needed steps yet, so the harm persists :<

(2/2) my suggestion would be:
Spend some time with your (own personal) interests- for my sys, that might be making a playlist, or watching a source, or doing their preferred art form.

Schedule a day for yourself to come back, with a plan/activity/reason.

Then make peace with whoever fronts next.

Depends on what you mean by "near-dormancy situation" because I think that can vary from system to system (and even from alter to alter)

But pushing away the rest of your sys is definitely not the move (1/2)

I'm pretty sure you can filter words, but I don't think you can apply the filter to just one account that you follow. I've never seen that feature on any site tbh, but it sounds like it would be very useful

When I looked it up, all the articles I saw were directed towards ai developers... Which is very much not what I was looking for.

Cannot begin to describe how much I relate to this. I hope your day gets better ❤️‍🩹

Like. Most vocaloid songs are super fast and also in weird keys so I'm genuinely surprised at how fast I was able to pick this one up
