Which is why the term Luddite has never been more accurate than since it first started getting associated with being behind on technological progress

It will fail. Downvote me if you must, but AI generated erotica is just as here as machine-woven textiles.

Luddites aren’t against technological progress, they are against social regress.

Pretty sure social norms are better now than they were back when Luddites got their name associated with being against technological progress

True.

I have never, ever heard this definition of Luddite.

Yes, that wasn’t a random example for anyone OOTL. The thing the OG Luddites would do is break into factories and smash mechanical looms. They wanted to keep doing it the medieval way where you’re just crossing threads by hand over and over again, because “muh jerbs”.

This is a post on the Beehaw server. They don’t collect downvotes.

TIL! Interesting.

Bonus trivia, sometimes you may see a downvote on a Beehaw post. As far as I understand the system, that’s because someone on your server downvoted the thing. The system then sends it off to Beehaw to be recorded on the “real” post and Beehaw just doesn’t apply it.

Can confirm. My server has had federation issues, and when that has happened you can still post or vote on outside communities, but it’s not mirrored anywhere else.

Beehaw also allows to un-upvote your own post.
