couldn't have said it better

what does it say about our political system that our choices are "bigot funding genocides abroad and is for racism and systemic injustice at home" and "guy who does the same thing but isn't as outwardly rude about it"

tumblr isn't dead??

but like, why did it take him tanking Twitter for many to realize that he's just a manbaby with a diamond-encrusted platinum pacifier

like it's really weird that it wasn't clear when he called that one guy who saved those kids in that cave a pedophile because the guy told Musk that his invention wouldn't be useful for the rescue effort; like people didn't see how shitty he was after he said that

I mean the first issue here is that you think the US government actually gives a shit about humanitarian things; they're doing this because it'll be beneficial to them, not out of the goodness of their heart

you really need to understand that you can't take the US at its word when it says it's sending soldiers to another country for moral reasons

tbf, grimes is not better

would expect both of them to be less like this if that were the case

and guess who lobbies a ridiculous amount to either keep the rules the same or bias it further towards their interests

yep, corporations once again

why is this man like this

yeah, like OP isn't realizing that they're going to just make another Twitter

if you have it that there are no rules against shittiness and bigotry, then the worst kinds of people will decide to hang around and will drive off everyone else; you'll have a nazi bar

on one hand, reddit gold is useless and a waste of money imo

other hand, they just keep going for making the most controversial decisions with zero thought lmao

this is not going to work like you want it; check out the "nazi bar" example

probably could have said the same about Google and XMMP, but look what happened

corporations exist to make money, and this includes eliminating or incorporating anything that could get in their way or make money

the fact that the Fediverse is starting to get a bit more popular is going to convince them to get in on it (and then eventually try to control as much of the market as possible) or make it irrelevant so the average person is funneled to them again

nah, you're right

the term always gives me images of channer culture; like it reminds me when the internet as a whole thought that 4chan and its ilk were cool and elite for being shitty for "lulz"

it needs to be retired
