guts, Jack is mostly on Nostr, good thing Nostr is more independent to Jack influence.
gravitas_deficiency, I feel like he doesn’t understand that he’s the common denominator here…?
vamp07, Nostr is ultimately the way forward and he knows it. Nobody controlling your identity other than yourself.
Asudox, Them promoting crypto is fishy. I don’t like Nostr.
vamp07, How is nostr promoting crypto?
Asudox, (edited )
fine_sandy_bottom, Promoting crypto you say?
guts, They only use Bitcoin (optional) which is getting highly regulated.
guts, It seem many here are against it.
Rentlar, Everyone on Masto/Fedi has been memeing about this since the start: Whatever platform Dorsey’s on becomes Twitter, lol.
marathon, At least Dorsey is thinking about social platforms, problems. Did you even read the post or simply spouting what your tribe says in your echo chamber?
dumbass, I was elected to meme, not to read.
PanArab, They built it to be another Twitter.
vonbaronhans, That’s what I was thinking. Wasn’t that the point?
davel, (edited ) Twitter is merely a Nazi bar when what Jack wanted was a Turbo-Nazi bar.
jwz: Blockchain Rasputin over here is mad that moderation exists
It has been obvious to anyone paying attention that the reason Dorsey founded and funded Bluesky was with the end goal of enabling Twitter to go [Spider-Man Pointing dot GIF] any time an actual Nazi showed up, because moderation was not their problem, they just outsourced it to a series of nested shell companies (that they fund) who act as reputation laundries and liability crumple zones.
Now he pouts and says the quiet part out loud.
psvrh, He really doesn’t understand people, does he?
He’s like the libertarian techbro equivalent of a Stalinist tankie.
dameoutlaw, Several of you seem to be misunderstanding. When he says “like Twitter” it’s not in the negative ways you are thinking. It’s in the negative ways he’s thinking. Meaning censorship and being able to ban accounts. He doesn’t want that. Mastodon would have the same criticisms if he commented on it.
SorteKanin, Oh right, is that this new “free speech absolutism” I’ve heard about? 🙃
PanArab, Unless it is pro-Palestinian speech of course
huginn, (edited ) Or speech that hurts his feelings
haui_lemmy, These billionaires are just regular people with less empathy (there are no ethical billionaires). They have the same braindead ideas we all have if we dont know anything about a topic and are in a talkative mood or possibly drunk or high, or all of those combined I guess.
delirious_owl, Wasn’t twitter really good about banning actual Nazis and not banning journalists until Musk came along? After Musk came, Nazis were unbanned and we saw a huge wave of journalists getting banned.
Supermariofan67, It was always pretty bad, musk just made it worse
ada, Before Musk, Twitters advertising was driven by engagement, and engagement was driven by encountering things that made you angry. So they were slow to respond to anything but the most egregious cases of hatred and bigotry.
Jennykichu, No… NO. It was appallingly terrible at banning Nazis, worse than even Reddit in many ways. Twitter banned a tiny, tiny fraction of extremely prominent and openly fascist accounts that had been permitted to operate for years, but they ignored Nazi dogwhistles from large accounts and smaller accounts that didn’t gain a following and were used to harass 1-2 people were generally allowed to operate freely.
Remember: they didn’t even ban Donald Trump himself until he tried to literally violently overthrow the US government. Twitter pre-Musk was an absolute shit hole, but it was at least headed in a hopeful direction. Musk kept it a shit hole and just changed the direction it was going.
cupcakezealot, bluesky has a robust moderation system which blocks transphobes, bigots, and racism which is why jack hates it.
ada, It doesn’t block them though does it? My understanding is that it simply filters them so that you don’t see them anymore. They’re still there doing their thing though.
Jennykichu, You’re correct. It doesn’t stop Nazis from having a home or building a following. It just allows users to not see it.
damon, It does block them more so than on fedi. When I block someone they can’t see my content nor account, they can’t log out and go see my content. It’s not just filtered, also they have banned accounts and removed content
Jennykichu, Uh… source? This runs counter to everything I’ve seen and read about it.
guts, So it’s like Reddit
bquintb, (edited ) Man…no leadership, no accountability, just a rich billionaire drifter acting like he has principles. Idgaf, I like fediverse, and I like my block button…it’s the only alt I’ve found that isn’t a rightwing cess pool full of degens.
CaptObvious, Isn’t this a definition of insanity?
TomMasz, I’m on Bluesky and my view of it, at least, is absolutely nothing like Twitter. I’m glad he quit it before he could really turn it into another Nazi-infested hellhole.
LEDZeppelin, Why not sell it to the next fascist for billions of dollars and make yourself rich again?
dumbass, Well stop trying to make twitter then you fuckin idiot.
Microw, He was on the board, it’s not like it was his project or anything. Imo he wanted to create a protocol, not a platform. “Improve Activitypub” like they always claimed. But then Bluesky realized that they can simply build their own platform and be Twitter 2.0
Venator, He should just contribute to mastodon instead.
hitmyspot, Its community based so his opinion could be ignored, unlike when he’s on a board and his opinion was ignored.
heluecht,
interdimensionalmeme, Moderation should always be client side. Server side should not be able to interfere or even read public content
heluecht, @interdimensionalmeme There are different opinions about this. And luckily people can chose networks according to their specific opinions.
eatthecake, I thought it was meant to be the new twitter, by design… wut?
cupcakezealot, it’s meant to be twitter by ui and feel, for sure.
i’d also say it’s meant to be more like twitter from a decade ago when twitter actually had a functioning moderation system and kept toxicity away. the moderation system, which is open sourced and allows anyone to add on to, is one of the best.
i’m subscribed to bsky.app/profile/aegis.blue, which blocks or hides antisemites, bigots, racists, transphobes, you name it.
dameoutlaw, Not at all.
jmcs, He means they are trying not to be the Nazi bar, and added an homeopathic amount of moderation to the platform.
