I assumed #xitter still did this but #DouglasMurray complained about not being able to stop the service from pushing crazy shit at him he didn't ask for, and #JoeRogan and #DaveSmith agreed.
That's not free speech. Only the #SocialWeb is capable of that, if we can learn to only moderate for harassment. #fediblockmeta
on recent news about BS (Bluesky) banning Turkish opposition accounts:
the worst part about it is that they flocked from Xitter to BS in last months because Musk has been doing this since 2023 and ramped up blocks in last few months.
now BS is mirroring this.
we now know what BS, aside from "Bluesky", stands for: bullshit. which is basically a definition of their talk how decentralised Bluesky is.
so JD Vance basically told the EU, he & Trump will destroy #NATO and sic #nuclear #bombs on them, if the union won’t let #Facebook #Meta #Google #Alphabet #Twitter #Xitter #Microsoft #OpenAI #Amazon #Apple and the Silicon Valley fascistocracy, traffic Europeans digitally and rob them of their lives & livelyhoods.

because let me be clear: they aren't trafficking our "data". they are trafficking us.
turning humans into tradeable assets is a cornerstone of #slavery
I've spent WAY too much time arguing with an anti-EV nob on #Lemmy over the last few days.
I just eyebrow raised over someone claiming removal of #Ghiblitheft #AI images on #Mastodon was censorship.
I think Fedi has "arrived" folks. The #trolls are here. They are small in numbers for sure, but given the echo chambers places like #Xitter must be now, and FB hopefully has less active users given how hate speech is now actively approved there, then some shitheads have gone looking for a fight with ethical people elsewhere.
Sigh.
About a month ago, I worked with Valent to extract and analyse engagement data on scheduled tweets by Rory Stewart, Alastair Campbell, and Anthony Scaramucci. They discuss some of our findings in this episode of The Rest is Politics, including the roles of inauthentic and monetised accounts.

Sie konnten das Getöse nicht verstehen. X war für sie genau wie es schon immer gewesen war.
Sie überschritten letztenendes zwar doch eine Grenze, aber das war lange nachdem sie realisiert hatten, dass die Grenze von denen gezogen worden war, die schon gegangen waren.
Elon Musk, who already suggested Tesla invest in xAI, is now setting the stage for the public company under his control to grossly overpay for xAI, a private company under his control that just absorbed Twitter (X).

"A network of #Xitter accounts are pumping out thousands of posts about the Canadian economy and alleged support within Canada for U.S. President Donald Trump’s annexation threat."
The team’s findings … upend popular misconceptions that misinformation spreads because users lack the critical thinking skills necessary for discerning truth from falsehood or because their strong political beliefs skew their judgment."

How long do we think it'll be before boycotting #Xitter is seen as terrorism?
