my main problem with people using clippy as a mascot for resistance against AI is that clippy is the embodiment of useless AI. like you're rallying with a paperclip that was infamous for constantly trying to write your letters for you
realizing that there's a difference between things that I feel like I Have To Do and things that I actually want to do has been huge actually, turns out there's a lot that fell into the former category
Friendly reminder: last year I built FediMod FIRES, a protocol and reference server implementation for sharing moderation data.
I haven't yet been able to get anyone to adopt it or even signal intent to adopt. But regularly I see people complaining about the lack of data sharing when it comes to moderation, especially for combating spam, scams, and harassment. The tool is there, please use it!
Whilst I'm not actively working on FediMod FIRES this quarter, I did apply in November for a grant to continue that work, and last I heard a few weeks ago is that the grant made it to the next stage, so I may have some money again to fund development.
It's not 1.0.0 yet, because I decided it needed more work for me to be happy to call it that, but it is usable!
Installation is also super simple for data producers, literally two commands on debian or ubuntu boxes.
