Admin of lemmy.name, he/him
I’ve been warning people that Google making up their own web standards will end in disaster, for years.
Musk uses that term in his own way - the “free speech absolutist” line came from him talking in reference to Twitter moderation. He consistently claims to allow his critics to say whatever they wish without consequences.
I’ve heard that statement nearly verbatim from people who were entirely serious - and judging from my upvote count (and the original comment downvotes), several others thought you were serious as well.
Edit - Wait, I thought you were the creator of the original comment - you aren’t. There’s still a very good chance this isn’t sarcasm.
Section 702 should either not be renewed at all, or renewed with restrictions to require a warrant for US person searches. The FBI has shown they cannot handle this power as is.
Since weed is significantly less dangerous than tabacco or alcohol, I assume you’re for a complete ban on both of them as well?
It’s not hard. In fact, the recent Twitter rebrand to X is just his latest attempt to launch X.com - he has tried before and failed.
The CCDH do not have the resources to fight Twitter alone. This is clearly an attempt to scare them into silence with legal fees.
Those who wish may donate here.
Just donated to the CCDH, they definitely don’t have the resources to fight Twitter alone.
Given that Twitter trust and safety was almost completely gutted upon his acquisition, I think it’s very improbable that type of content was moderated effectively.
Congrats, ya’ll! 🥳
https://fedipact.online/ is a list of instances that have pledged to preemptively block Threads. Includes my own instance (lemmy.name) among many others.
I run my own instance and am defederating immediately (whenever they start federating). I did also join the pact.
I’ll evaluate their impact a month or so in and decide whether or not to refederate.
I acknowledge there’s potential for a positive impact here, so I will give them a chance.
Connect is easily the most feature-complete app I’ve found for Android at the moment, loving it here too
That’s immensely useful, thanks! Running it on my own public 1.18.1 instance with no issues.
A Mastodon alternative apparently. Seems they haven’t implemented ActivityPub yet? I’ll stay away.
