Eventually, like the NFTs, companies that are only engaging with the technology to make a quick buck, or to hop onto the latest trend will move on to the next thing. Then, we'll work the technology back to something usable

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

As for tech companies leaving their own product behind, it happened with NFTs, it will happen once the AI fad washes out. In fact it's already happened, as a lately a lot of companies have stopped using AI

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

BlueSky would've still been useful and practical without AI. In fact some of the websites issues could be a result of AI, though it's hard to tell without knowing what part was and wasn't coded with AI

100

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

"Coding BlueSky" isn't a good use for AI. BlueSky is an alright product, but not because of the fact it used AI. Because it's an alternative to a social media that had good uses.

100

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

I am not praising BlueSky. The plateform is a little slow, sometimes goes out of order and has a bunch of issues, bugs and inconveniences, some of them probably caused by the part of the code that were made using AI. BlueSky is *passable*. By that I mean it's not Twitter.

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Furthermore, while I am comparing them for the sake of this discussion, it's import to remember that BlueSky and PaintDotNet are not the same kind of software and cannot be compared as such. They have different use cases and as such I have different tolerances when it comes to using them

000

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

But I want to talk online with other users, I want to share thoughts, art, interests, discussions. And if no one will give us a way of doing this without giving into AI, then we'll take the next best thing

100

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

There's a limit to how much I will cripple myself. Yes, it bothers me BlueSky is coded using Claude. It means I support a cause I condemn, on top of worsening my experience on this website due to the issues vibecoding the website has created

100

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Yes, it is a matter of convenience. PDN has alternatives that are still convenient, so if I have to move to those, much to my dismay, I will. BlueSky doesn't have alternatives that provide what it does. So I make due with what's most convenient.

100

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

But for now, AI is constructed to make people obedient, to steal their data, and their creativity. To censor the voices of the population and make them work more. This is not something I'm willing to empower

000

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

AI isn't, because its very foundation is built on theft, law avoidance, ecological destruction and control. When the tech companies leave the technology behind, and responsible people start to make it usable, we'll figure out good uses for it

200

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

In comparison, Social Media is because the the potential for social interaction it has, and how it allows us to connect with other people for fun discussions, or sharing ideologies.

100

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

The tech companies and government are making all these tools unusable, we don't have much power over it. The best we can do is decide what's worth the expanse and what's not. AI isn't.

100

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Once more there's a limit to how much we can restrict our lives. The processes of manufacturing and using computers and phones is extremely bad for the environment, same for the use of the internet as a whole. But if we were to restrict ourselves to only ecofriendly and moral things, we'd not live

100

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

The point I made in these messages is that "not using social media" isn't a valid solution to "the mst convienient plateform is coded with AI". I never sais it was okay for me and not others to use "AI platforms" and don't understand how what you're saying relate to my argument here

100

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Moreover, social media is an important part of the internet's social space, allowing ideas and discussions to circulate all around. They're a tool against censorship, and to stop using them would be exactly what the ones making them unusable want. The less free speech, the more profit

200

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Social medias can be very practical and enjoyable platforms. I know they're often stigmatized as hellscapes, but proper social media use can be a really valuable asset. Denying the use of any social media on the basis that "they all suck" is not a good option for those who benefit from them

100

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Because there really isn't a better alternative to this website. There are alternatives to PaintDotNet, so if necessary I will move, but for now Bluesky remains the best place to exchange with artists this way.

100

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Still, a of reasonable people are opposed to the use of AI in this software, and I know that for a lot of them, me included, this would mean having to switch over to another tool.

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

It seems there's been a lot of unnecessarily violent backlash on your post, this is sad to see since it invalidates the proper discussions on the matter.

110

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

I love PaintDotNet and I would love to be able to keep using it without indirectly contributing to the system that's currently destroying art and causing irreversible damage to our planet and all its inhabitants.

130

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Please do not use AI in the development of PaintDotNet, I know it's a promising technology and I'm sure there will be interesting uses for it eventually, but it is not justifiable to use it currently, especially not a model like Claude's

Eager to see them become a lovely couple once more, I pushed the two of them to meet often, and they ended up becoming friends from it ! Let's hope their love ignites once more... #tomodachilife #tomodachilifelivingthedream #dftomodachi

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

And this is Steve ! Another returning Mii based on Jack Black in "a Minecraft Movie", also fitted with a nice redesign to bring more of the "Lovable Chum" energy he had in my first playthrough #tomodachilife #tomodachilifelivingthedream #dftomodachi

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

And so it was time for this couple to join the island again, after a bit of a redesign help them fit their personalities better Really happy with how both turned out ! #tomodachilife #tomodachilifelivingthedream #dftomodachi

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

Tavish and Dona are some of the first 2 Miis I made in my playthrough on the 3DS. They became a happy couple and lived a happy married life ! They were some of the first Miis I wanted to bring back for this playthrough #tomodachilife #tomodachilifelivingthedream #dftomodachi

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

I've been having a lot of fun making custom content in the game ! The editor is very powerful and with how many things we can customize, the limit truly is my imagination #tomodachilife #tomodachilifelivingthedream #dftomodachi

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

This is Gaethan, a mischievous small man who does things on his own terms He had a troubled friendship with Sheldon back in the day (more about it on Tumblr), but it seems he's trying to mend his friendship back together today #tomodachilife #tomodachilifelivingthedream #dftomodachi

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

After bringing Sheldon back, I wanted to make a new Mii inspired by another character So, meet Milo, a confient and well mannered man in his 50s, inspired by Minos Prime from ULTRAKILL #tomodachilife #tomodachilifelivingthedream #dftomodachi

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

I'm gonna rapid fire through these 'till I catch up to Tumblr, then I'll slow down and post them alongside updates to my blog I feel a bit bad wasting a photo slot to push my Tumblr blog on each post, but its I mainly how I want to write about this story, with these posts being more of a side thing

000

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

And then the game came out, and I immediately added one of the more active Miis back in my 3DS playthrough ! Yes he is based on Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory, what of it ? #tomodachilife #tomodachilifelivingthedream #dftomodachi

040

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

And finally here's Fanny ! A new character I made for the occasion, nicely rounding out the trio of Miis for my playthrough of the demo She ended up being friends with the others very quickly ! #tomodachilife #tomodachilifelivingthedream #dftomodachi

DarkFluo @darkfluo.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

And here is Julien, a lovable and mellow man in his mid-50s looking to settle down in a quiet place I didn't get to see much on him on my 3DS playthrough, so here he is, bright and early ! #tomodachilife #tomodachilifelivingthedream #dftomodachi
