Recommending a non-open source social media app simply because it is Europe-based is so stupid. Then there's the fact that the app requires you to download via Google Play or the App Store unless you go the unsupported route. If they support direct APK downloads, it isn't obvious.
“All” of their external links lead to proprietary social media! Even to Microsoft's LinkedIn! Who is approving these posts?!
The priority should be open source first, European second.
Stop being dumb.

This is a somewhat (or even mostly) useless list. It just filters AI "features" and websites from search engine results. It does nothing for the sites you use every day, like social media and news, that are littered with AI content.
If you use the same search engine, and you generally don't visit random sites on a regular basis, especially obvious AI ones, then this list will do pretty much nothing for your browsing experience.

Same. I was wondering why the spell didn't look like made-up words based on real words, so I pronounced it, and then I was like... Ohhh... 🤭

You can try https://www.cap-that.com It's limited, but it should be enough. If you have access to the actual movie files, that would be better, of course.

Also, I see that it has a specific user/artwork on Artstation. This is good. However, what if the list blocks someone you follow who posts 99% human content and occasionally posts some "AI-assisted" content?
Something to think about.
These lists are convenient, but it is convenience that got us to (the bad place) where we are today.

Art becomes reality because reality imitates art. The sad thing is that we (meaning those with the reins and the pessimistic majority) feel the need to take all the negative possibilities of the future and combine them into one big monstrosity. All while simultaneously pretending things will work out for the best somehow.
People that love to say, “I only care about my family” need to remember that it takes a village to raise a child.
What happens outside of your household will affect your child.
Similarly, what happens in countries with lots of influence will affect yours.
Such statements are statements of privilege, and people with too much privilege quite often don't care about anyone but themselves.
You want to choose between the lesser of two evils.
I want to pick from the cream of the crop.
We are not the same.
Voting the Atlantic Slave Trade as the greatest crime against humanity knowing full well that almost all crimes against humanity have been carried out by Christians.
But sure, cast blame on dead people if you must.
Billionaires and the governments they control designed a system to ensure we fail as parents so that our kids become entirely dependent on and enslaved to the system.
Just heard a religious person coming at games again saying that Roblox and Fornite make kids feel they have all the power, pushing them away from God.
Bad parenting, culture, and society does that. Not games.
Former Mortal Kombat and Killer Instinct player here. I hate violence or even the idea of physically fighting another person because they said something I didn't like.
Not because of my experience with games, but because of my experiences with people.
Focus on the right issues.
Imagine telling someone about the dangers of big tech and data brokers for 2 years, while simultaneously mentioning Pegasus and 1984, then being called "paranoid" or being dismissed with "It's not that serious."
Now imagine that person coming up to you years later and asking, "Have you heard about Pegasus?" seeking to tell you some new information they are just hearing for the first time, apparently.
Instant rage bait, though unintentional.
People only listen to distant strangers.
RE: @joplinapp@mastodon.social
This apples to many, MANY things.
"Protecting your peace" does not protect your future from harm, and it certainly does not protect the ones you love.
Part of doing your best to enjoy life is ensuring that everyone you love can also enjoy life, and then they can do the same for others. This would extend endlessly until it touches everyone across the world.
"Thank you for those that love me, those that I love, and those that love the ones I love."
We are all connected. It's not just about you.
The lesser of two evils is still evil.
It's the better choice, but it's still a bad choice.
Remember this.
Convenience and privilege can be taken away on a whim.
Freedom takes decades of making humans become hopeless, apathetic, convenience- and privilege-loving "people". No longer humans; just people. A statistic without empathy, hope, or freedom.
Make life so convenient that anything that is inconvenient or takes more time, learning, thinking, patience, empathy is written off as bad, backward, criminal, tedious, "too techie".
Convenience (and privilege): the slow-creeping death of freedom.

That's not how mainstream social media works. In order to not see either rampant or occasional AI on mainstream social media, the only thing you can do is not use mainstream social media at all.
Instagram infects your "Following" feed with ads and recommendations. Twitter doesn't do this, but if you use lists, you will see them, and the moment you click Explore/For You, you are likely to see them.
Also, the non-artists you follow may post/repost them too.

They drank the cool aid and didn't like the taste, but they also don't want to get up and make their own drink. That would be inconvenient.
