aww, HUGS to you!

well that sounds like…

😀 🕶️ 😎

good news

here isn’t anything particularly special about them that would disproportionately attract the alt-right crazies

lmao… that’s a good one

YouTube’s algorithm seems to be funneling people to alt-right videos

Feeding Hate With Video: A Former Alt-Right YouTuber Explains His Methods

‘Carol’s Journey’: What Facebook knew about how it radicalized users

‘It let white supremacists organize’: the toxic legacy of Facebook’s Groups

this is just scratching the surface…

a great video essay the subject:

The Alt-Right Playbook: How to Radicalize a Normie (CW/TW)

I couldn’t even imagine—

imagine mid-80s Apple with Steve Jobs constantly screaming at you after you’ve worked 75 hours without sleep, except you’re NOT working on anything revolutionary, you’re getting paid shit, and you’re practically alone in the office because everyone else got laid off. also, everyone on earth hates you except a select cadre of nazis who spend most of their time fellating Elon on the platform you’re barely able to keep running.

FUN!

seems we were both wrong:

the number were adjusted down after several instance owners culled large numbers of inactive and spambot accounts

ex-user, ex-owner, ex-subcriber…

it means you compete as an independent, neutral entity and not under your country’s flag so your country gets zero recognition for any achievements, only the individuals.

“experiment”… lmao, as if we didn’t all know exactly what would happen if Musk bought twitter, what he would turn it into. Sure, he may surprise us with the absurdly stupid and petty ways he’s doing it, but the end result is still precisely what we all knew he’d do.

True. Once Twitter started ass-raping users for API access, reddit got the same dumb idea, and voila! millions of people flooded over to lemmy.

his shittiness is contagious

12% interest rates? god damn…

how is their economy even functioning?

yes

neither is “transparent”

this IS what I was talking about, or, rather, the real-world version of it. I was making a Star Trek reference in my previous comment, for those who didn’t catch it.

so, how many hundred trillion times in a row does some have to say the n-word to get a strike? I’m betting it’s pretty high…

if MS were serious about making its online spaces safe for anyone but the most toxic, vitriolic bigots, they would have kicked them all off decades ago. but they won’t, not ever, because they value their money far more than they dislike what they have to say or the negative attention it attracts.

I’m still waiting until we switch to transparent aluminum. some crazy Scottish guy in San Fransisco traded the formula for a bunch of plexiglas back in the mid-80s.

“Free speech for me"

IIRC, Russia, at least, has had to participate under a neutral flag in recent games due to their ongoing doping scandals anyway. Other than Belarus also competing under a neutral flag, what would substantially change?

it’s just baby throwing his daily “look at meeeee!” tantrum.

it’ll pass when someone changes his diaper and gives him his binkie.

edit: oh, hey, look at that:

Musk’s X delays links from rivals loading, then backtracks

Newsweek is hot garbage these days

no kidding… wow

I haven’t experienced it being slow. that might depend on the client you’re using. fortunately, there are a few to choose from.
