    Cara is popular because of it’s anti ai stance. They have a detector to not allow ai images to be on the platform. Pixelfed allows it and also lack active users that are not artists.

      For now.

      Ai support or not it will still be aggressively monetized the moment enough users are locked in.

      Fomo is a hell of a drug eh.
