Wow this couldn’t be any more transparent. Laziest way to get easy PR after the stream of terrible decisions they’ve made. Thankfully doesn’t look like anyone’s buying it.
Looking forward to watching the cat-and-mouse game of people writing “fuck /u/spez” and the admins deleting it. Gonna be a shitshow.
Can you provide some evidence for your claim of US agents on staff for censorship purposes, as well as elaborate on which speech you believe is being removed?
99% of the time I see people upset about ‘censorship’ of online spaces, they’re mad about far-right hate-speech or dangerous misinformation.
🙄 “Saying slurs on a private forum is mah god-given right!”
There’s plenty to criticize about Twitter and Threads, but the unmoderated parts of the internet are cancer.
Also pretending that Elon doesn’t remove things he doesn’t like is a joke.
Having cooked professionally for the last 15 years, I take this for granted sometimes.
It amazes me how many people can’t cook anything more complicated than kraft dinner. I don’t mean to rag on anybody, but it’s a skill you really need to learn if you don’t know how. You’ll save a ton of money and there’s a lot of simple dishes that can impress people.
This is getting ridiculous. Every thread about this is just people parroting “embrace, extend, extinguish” and “enshittification” ad nauseam. No one is actually saying how they could accomplish that. Even if they’re technically federated (which I doubt will happen, Meta will probably just want to federate with a couple of the biggest Mastodon servers) we will barely interact with them at all, think of how rarely Mastodon posts show up here. This is a grounded article on what’s going on: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/07/what-to-know-about-threads/
Seriously don’t understand managers like this. Also a manager, qnd I’ll even find the coverage if someone needs a day off. I know how nerve wracking it is as an employee calling around asking someone to cover your shift, its a lot easier for me to send a mass text. Incidentally, the staff seem much more willing to pick up shifts this way.
