Funny thing: looks like something was changed on #Twitter that it doesn't revert me automatically to For You every time I close & reopen the app - I can select Following and it just stays there… and I haven't updated the app, I still have the blue bird icon! It must have been a server-side toggle 🤨
#ElonMusk asking people to post other stuff on top of their transphobic and nazi posts #Twitter. "We need other content too, to attract people who will then see the hate posts"- basically.
Elon "hearthly" agrees with JKRowling transphobic post, "suggests" also posting interesting and positive content on other matters.
2)Talks to nazi #NickFuentes via his alt ‘Adrian Dittmann’.
Begs him to "don't go full Kanye West", so not full nazi, just a little nazi, to not damage the platform.
Ser att Bluesky vunnit viss popularitet bland Mastodon-användare, det är förbryllande, Mastodon (ActivityPub) är den fria plattformen, de flesta andra är inlåsning.
Die 1. Sitzung ist wieder ausgewählten Abschlussarbeiten gewidmet:
Julia Pabst untersucht, wie #MachineLearning in der #Epigraphik zur Identifikation von Wappen & Inschriften eingesetzt werden kann & Lukas Germann widmet sich den Herausforderungen der Analyse von #Twitter-Daten.
"The Twitter founder unfollowed more than 2,000 accounts, and now is only following Elon Musk, Edward Snowden, and Stella Assange. Meanwhile, he chimed in on Kendrick and Drake’s rap beef quite a bit. He also seemed to call X a “freedom technology” in a tweet on Saturday, warning users to not depend on corporations to grant them rights."
Wow... I'm glad I deleted my Twitter account long ago. Because wtf?
Replay Crew! We had a fun romp through tech headlines this week! https://somegadgetguy.com/b/44j
Jack Dorsey is no longer on the board of BlueSky. We're wrapping up the closing arguments in Google's anti-trust case. The Rabbit R1 is an app. Sony's marketing materials for the next XPERIA leak.
And we should probably chat about this next iPad thing-y...
Do consumers still have hope or/and faith on this #socialmedia?
»Jack Dorsey says he’s no longer on Bluesky’s board:
The #Twitter founder has been backing away from the decentralized project he once funded.
Twitter founder #JackDorsey is apparently no longer on the board of #Bluesky, the decentralized social media platform he helped start. Yesterday, an #X user asked him if he was still on the company’s board, and Dorsey responded, without further elaboration, “no.”«
🧵 …nun etwas später auch ein Artikel auf Deutsch zum Thema oben:
»Kurznachrichtendienst – Jack Dorsey kehrt Bluesky den Rücken:
Jack Dorsey hat Bluesky einst gegründet und rechtzeitig vor der Twitter-Übernahme ausgelagert. Inzwischen will er damit aber offenbar nichts mehr zu tun haben.«
From The Verge: Jack Dorsey says he’s no longer on Bluesky’s board
> There’s seemingly no evidence that Dorsey is off the Bluesky board yet, apart from his post. The company still lists him as a board member, along with its CEO, Jay Graeber, and Jabber / XMPP inventor Jeremie Miller.
Jack Dorsey is crawling back to Twitter, licking Elon’s boots, calling the site “freedom technology”. In case anyone wondered about Jack’s political alignment: it’s far right, techno-fascist probably.
My neighbor told me yesterday that she believes the buyers of a Tesla #vehicle are just Beta Testers. And to make it worse, Tesla buyers pay a shit ton of money to be a #Beta Tester for a multi-Billionaire.
I'm having a hard time refuting her beliefs about this issue.
On related news: Jack #Dorsey is no longer with #BlueSky. Instead, he's lauding the "freedom" of #Twitter (and apparently no longer believed in "building a social network that puts people in control of their experience", from the subtext of the BlueSky announcement stating the requirements for Dorsey's replacement).
