I do think it’s worth imagining an alt TL in which influencers of conscience deployed their privilege immediately after the Musk takeover to build and move to a new branch of the fediverse. Could have been a set of new mastodon servers or a new app using activitypub, they had the skills and money to organize either or both.

we’ve lived all the reasons this didn’t happen, but for a moment imagine it did.

@seachanger the trick with influencers is not to let them.

    @accretionist those klansmen are not "white leaders". they are terrorists who have attempted to seize power from an elected official. execute them.

    cbs news is fucking complicit writing lies pitching the terrorists as legitimate.

    Hi, we're a tech startup run by libertarian Silicon Valley tech bros.

    We're not a newspaper, we're a content portal.
    We're not a taxi service, we're a ride sharing app.
    We're not a pay TV service, we're a streaming platform.
    We're not a department store, we're an e-commerce marketplace.
    We're not a financial services firm, we're crypto.
    We're not a space agency, we're a group of visionaries who are totally going to Mars next year.
    We're not a copywriting and graphic design agency, we're a large language model generative AI platform.

    Oh sure, we compete against those established businesses. We basically provide the same goods and services.

    But we're totally not those things. At least from a legal and PR standpoint.

    And that means all the laws and regulations that have built up over the decades around those industries don't apply to us.

    Things like consumer protections, privacy protections, minimum wage laws, local content requirements, safety regulations, environmental protections... They totally don't apply to us.

    Even copyright laws — as long as we're talking about everyone else's intellectual property.

    We're going to move fast and break things — and then externalise the costs of the things we break.

    We've also raised several billion in VC funding, and we'll sell our products below cost — even give them away for free for a time — until we run our competition out of the market.

    Once we have a near monopoly, we'll enshitify the hell out of our service and jack up prices.

    You won't believe what you agreed to in our terms of service agreement.

    We may also be secretly hoarding your personal information. We know who you are, we know where you work, we know where you live. But you can trust us.

    By the time the regulators and the general public catch on to what we're doing, we will have well and truly moved on to our next grift.

    By the way, don't forget to check out our latest innovation. It's the Uber of toothpaste!

    falcennial,
    @falcennial@mastodon.social avatar

    there is no website I will ever need more than I need my ad blocking tools, because it is more crucial that I do not see advertising than do anything else at all on the internet.

    your "disable ad block" ultimatum is always and only just one more user who will never return to your unsuccessful shitsite.

    "Students at Florida public schools will now learn that Black people benefitted from slavery because it taught them skills. This change is part of the African American history standards the State Board of Education approved at a Wednesday meeting."

    *Obviously, I copied the text from the article. Now, the article has changed, so I deleted the second paragraph. It said "...violence perpetrated BY African Americans, it now says "on."

    @StillIRise1963 the sociopaths who wrote, published, and approved that false and evil narrative would therefore find it valuable to be enslaved themselves, as it is their belief that they will gain skills to their benefit.

    I love that Mastodon has that thing where someone interacts with you, then you check them out, find out they're cool, follow them, and check out their boosts and find out they follow cool people so now you follow those other cool people as well and now you follow a whole bunch more cool people.

    Dear POTUS, The Justice Department, and the FCC. By eliminating the Paramount Decrees, you have made way for the strikes and shutdown of our industry. That was an antiquated antitrust law that held back studios and streamers from forming monopolies. They are now crushing labor because there is no competition—there is no recourse to their demands. Please reinstate or better your antitrust laws for the entertainment industry.

    @MarkRuffalo would that it were so simple.

    but it absolutely is that simple.

    government must always regulate industry, as 100% of evidence demonstrates that no industry can safely, fairly, or sustainably regulate itself.

    How to use Mastodon:

    Step 1: Sign up.

    Step 2: Do regular social media stuff.

    Journalists: Only those with advanced degrees in computer science should even attempt to navigate Mastodon, the frustrations of its complexities will drive the average user to a state of hysteria.

    If you get laid off from the unemployment office, do you still have to show up the next day? Like so many colleagues, my role was eliminated at Intel. So, I’m open to and/or consulting on community, creators, content. Talent-for-hire (as it always has been, comfortable in front of the camera and/or mic) - interested in hosting / leading virtual events, even ad hoc. Boosts, leads, connections appreciated - here's my WFH office! ~ https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7016850299894079488/ ~

    Another angle of my home office - with old shelves!

    Still more angles of my home office - with even more shelves!

    Originally shot in Black and White, here is the colorized version of The Nicholas Brothers in one of the GREATEST dance sequences ever performed!

    From the 1943 film, “Stormy Weather,” the clip also features Cab Calloway and Orchestra playing “Jumpin’ Jive.”

    Childhood prodigies, The Nicholas Brothers don’t get nearly the recognition they deserve. They were truly astonishing to behold!
