      We’re 10k users. There’s not that much content on here. I didn’t post almost ever on reddit, but considering we need content, I steal images I find funny off imgur and post them here in an attempt to add content to the network.

      If we fragment our ‘funny posts’ in tens of subreddits from dozens of instances most users aren’t subscribed to or don’t often browse, we’ll have a lot less to keep ourselves entertained.

      Instead of trying to gatekeep when we hardly have enough users, why don’t you post things you do find appropriate for this subreddit and just scroll past or downvote what upsets you and move on? There’s no place or need for this sort of elitism and offering nothing better in return right now.

      In case you didn’t know… https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2013/12/30/242429836/why-being-gypped-hurts-the-roma-more-than-it-hurts-you

      “I encounter a lot of people who tell me that they never knew the word ‘gypped’ had anything to do with gypsies, or that it’s offensive — especially when the word is heard not read,” says University of Texas at Austin professor Ian Hancock, who was born in Britain to Romani parents. “My response to them is, That’s okay. You didn’t know but now you do. So stop using it. It may mean nothing to you, but when we hear it, it still hurts.”

          It’s okay, the best thing we can do is inform others so that we don’t unknowingly hurt others. Now you know. 💜

          Hey, worst case Ontario, you got some down votes and learned something new. A lotta people will be all childish about being culled out online, but I appreciate how you, on an otter hand, took it inside and in an aldultery kind of way. Good on you bud!

          The cool thing is you can just say “what a rip” or “what a ripoff” instead and it won’t have any negative effects

    See when ai video generation comes to consumer tools, you will be able to actually ask for a video of almost anything… it might just suck and take hundreds of tries till you get something close to what you want… or it might take loading a separate, slightly different model.
