I got added to a moderation list for making fun of W. Tribes gonna tribe.

OK, I'm in as long as we can get t-shirts. Otherwise how do I know who to relate to?

What is this chemistry you speak of?!

good lord, we tried to warn you Harris was running a scam

The W Privacy Slow-Mo Highway Pileup continues to accrete vehicles.

Holy yikes, nationality? Cool so now AfD and all the remigration freaks know who to target.

I'd seen some comments on the periphery of this without know the root. What in fuck's name is going on over there?!

I'd say they care about the *personal fallout* from the lack of privacy, after the fact, and they will lash out and throw a hissy fit... but don't care enough to do anything that will inconvenience them. If they did, Meta properties would be a wasteland by now. Network effects are a bitch.

I suspect you would be surprised by how many non-tech people think their Facebook messages are private just because it says "private message" on the label.

That doesn’t help… but I don’t expect the civilian masses who believe Facebook is private to even attempt to understand the ATproto tradeoffs or their implications. If civilians have to understand something, you have already lost.

Fair warning: someone’s feeding you like that, they probably have designs for your liver.

whether or not ai is (in)directly to blame for this blunder, i'm becoming increasingly bullish on the idea that simply putting some care and consideration into the things you share is going to be such a differentiator as everyone lowers their standards in order to do more

Kinda depends on if the poo is just produced and accumulating or actively being flung around.

I don’t think I have anything nearly as loud as that suit. 🤣

Enjoy it while it lasts, folks — in a few weeks this sort of replacement is likely to be a supermassive vector for undercover malware that's going to dwarf all the Kazaa-hosted cracked Windows apps put together.

They don't even need to come up with new copy — just mirror! I'd suggest you point out that the alternative is a proliferation of unofficial accounts, which may be mislabeled as untrustworthy and reflect badly on the company... but this being Google, I'd suspect they'd just kick it off to legal.
