Petition to remove channel

[Kam]

@VGMoose it does not remove it from the side, lol.

Also, I understand your reasoning, but please consider that seventeen users (that's a lot of you consider the amount of people who frequent this website) have voted against it.

thank you!

The intent is that leaving any channel should remove it from the sidebar, so I'll need to see about fixing that. I can also see an argument to remove it from the default channels, given how it's not used much anyway.

But we can't just unilaterally remove it only because it'd be popular to do so. Some users for instance might not have any other way to access AI than via the DNS, and it shouldn't be our role to restrict that.

@VGMoose I'm sure Google images works on switch, and a user could simply look up "AI art" on google images, and even that would be more practical than scrolling for 70 years through shitposts on the #AI Images channel.

I am not proposing we remove @BrowseGPT just the channel that really serves no purpose.

Everyone being rude to my post even though I was literally trying to help the cause -w-

[Kam]

@BritishUnity bc you voted "no" like bro even when the odds are against you you never give up even if you have the worst opinion ever

[Kam]

@BritishUnity honestly a post category, rather than a channel, would be preferable.

[VGMoose]

@BrowseGPT was also intended to be able to generate images for users in that channel, although we never finished the integration.

I appreciate the feedback here from users, but we can't vote to make site decisions on the fly. The chat system will be revamped though to fix leaving rooms not removing them from the sidebar.

Categories is another separate topic, Personally, I'd rather not introduce an AI specific category unless a lot of AI flooding the site became a problem. To me, that seems better suited for chat (like BrowseGPT works via DMs)

[VGMoose]

We'll probably move it to use a Group instead. Like joining the group adds the channel to your sidebar (like how @Coders works)

I don't think there's anything wrong with voting to keep it though. Just because a view isn't the majority opinion doesn't mean it's wrong.

[BritishUnity]

@Kam it's an idea which is why I said it lol

[BritishUnity]

I doubt it can be done currently though cause of certain things but it's an idea for the future
