According to that research mentioned in the article, the answer is yes. The big caveats are
Let’s take that etymology one step further: “fan” comes from “fanatic”, so a stan is a stalker fanatic. Which somehow has become a positive term in some circles.
Need to read up on smoke signals and/or carrier pigeons 🙂
Welp, there goes the [online] neighbourhood! It was nice knowing you all.
Was my first impulse too, but looking at their app selection now, it seems kind of … inutile? Unsexy? Old?
I didn’t want to pay for their search engine before, and this garbage sure as hell isn’t going to change my mind.
as we’ve seen, AI tools are trained on garbage
I would like this to be the takeaway lesson that humans are better at history. However, loads of accepted history is also trained on garbage.
Gotcha! Thanks for the ELI5 🙂

I’m confused, which is it?
When there are only two options om the ballot and one is set to steer your country into fascism and a recall of human rights — there is no comparison. You vote for the other one.
Also, dick measuring.
Love that featured image 😆 Perfect metaphor for latter day Twitter!
Sorry, I thought you might want the scenic route to Github 🙂
Cool, and she updates her github repos now and then. Good to know.
Looks like this might be the one, and it supports @Generative@aussie.zone’s info that she’s behind the Nukit twitter account (and online shop).
So apparently the state “only” cracked down on her previous online presence such as Youtube, and probably put her and her partner under increased surveillance/control?
No, I’m talking about people seeing past f—ng fandom to the reality that others they meet online, or whose content they consume, may live under less free circumstances than themselves.
She was outed by Vice, which seems to have been met with apathy by the online community, and it looks like the authorities cracked down on her as a consequence. The insistence of some commenters to see this through a “fan” or “taste” lens is pretty blinkered.
Person. We’re talking about a person in a precarious situation who was basically doxxed by Vice, and more or less shrugged off by the general online public.
It’s not like you deciding you’re not into vaporwave anymore.
That’s a chilling read. Wu was only ever on the periphery of my attention — some tech advice here, the odd flash of TMI there — so I thought nothing of it when she fell off the radar.
Realising that she had gotten so relatively big, despite her circumstances, that government agencies were only waiting for fickle Western users like myself showing signs of indifference, before doing …whatever they’ve done to her… serves as a constant reminder that not everone online is here on an equal footing with, say, the average North American or European.
I’d love if some of the terminally online keyboard warriors (that didn’t rally to support her last year) might at least do an investigation into her current situation.
Edited for clarity.
