i donโt wanna block people for one fic iโm not into, and who knows, maybe iโll get desperate and want to see the fics im excluding in the future, but checking tags and seeing fics i know i donโt wanna read over and over is frustrating bc i have to wade through them to new stuff
if i could have any ao3 feature it would be the ability to remove individual fics i either already tried and didnโt like or know iโm not interested in from my search results so i can focus on not seeing the same fics every time i make a new search or change a filter
i'm going to be very blunt when i say this: you all need to get a fucking grip and quit with these stupid redirections and whataboutisms and whataboutMEisms in regards to the new information we have re: detecting AI usage in fic. your whining and defensiveness serves no one๐งต
and if you feel you simply must moralize to your community for their bad behavior on the way out, perhaps choose a moment where the catalyst isnโt the most credible source of gen ai detection weโve had so far in fandom. it looksโฆsuspicious
really side eying the people who are choosing this moment as purportedly non-ai fic writers to declare fandom is ruined and theyโre leaving and taking their fics with them
as someone who dislikes seeing people leaving fandoms loudly in general because i think it has a demoralizing effect on them and leads to fandoms losing interest, just leave if fandom truly causes you so much grief
