this title is an out right lie. to be fair, the title doesnt actually say the backlash is because of ai but it heavily hints at it. which is not true.
its surprising because the actual text of the article goes into the actual reasons why the initiative is on hold. (not blocked). including CUDA was a bug issue.
The project is literally called "Fedora Al Developer Desktop Initiative". It was blocked due to heavy community backlash. The title is not sensationalized. It's the exact article title from the webpage.
i didnt say the post title was altered, i said the article title is sensationalized
it doesnt matter what the project was called. if you read the articke, it was postponed due to sone issues with including nvidia drivers.
It doesn't matter that the title uses the name of the project accurately? Ok.
i think we are talking about different things
@terabyterex @cm0002 Yeh, two things I'm starting to really dislike about the #fediverse are epitomised in this post: the need for click-bait to get attention and the disconnect (double in this case) between the original source (a news site) and the appearance of matter in a generic information browser. This is almost as bad as embedded advertising.

Ultimately the #fediverse needs to solve the problem of maintaining context in postings. I'm not sure what the real solution is, but I think #lemmy in particular needs work doing on the #activitypub side of things.
2/2
This doesn't need a software solution. One of the reasons why I like link aggregators (which lemmy is) is because posters can de editorialize post titles, removing clickbait.
Instead of "Linus SLAMS psycho for DARING to suggest C++ in the kernel" the title can be replaced with "Linus explains why C++ is not suitable for the Linux kernel" when they post it.
But people don't really do this, and people get mad at people who do this sometimes.
Of course, then people can inject bias in their titles. But I would rather not have clickbait.
Idk mastodon could start actually use activitypub standard... lol
It's not though? One of the board members literally reversed their vote citing the community response as the primary reason. The community backlash on the inclusion of AI was pretty negative from what I read, and apparently a lot of that feedback made it back to the board. Not that that response is surprising at all, people bate AI.
