    This isn’t art, it’s a platform, it’s a tool more akin to engineering than painting.

    Would you have this same response for x, Facebook, or truth social?

      I think in terms of fedi, it’s fine. I mean plenty of people think Linus Torvold is an Ass, but we all love Linux for what it is.

      It’s a fair point. But then in the case of a piece of (literal) art created by a computer program, who was the artist if not the programmer? In legal terms software is a work of creativity like any other.

      Perhaps the important factor is how many people are involved. To be art, there has to be a single artist.
