But that requires actually READING 😖 /j

Ah, close enough. Both are owned by billionaires who have everything to gain from distorting the truth

Isn’t WSJ directly own by Bezos himself, or am I confusing them for something else?

Wait, this is a bad thing?

Wait, browsers still had RSS support? I thought that was deprecated a decade ago. I’ve been using dedicated apps for them

Odysee is a big disappointment. It had the potential to be an alternative to YouTube, especially with some semi-big youtubers endorsing it. However, the lack of any basic moderation has led it to be full of neo-nazis. It wouldn’t be that much of a problem for me if content by neo-nazis wasn’t the only original content you can find in there (at least that is notable). So unless you are a neo-nazi yourself, you’re better off just watching YouTube. A lot of the YouTubers that brought their content over has stopped uploading there too, probably because of the same problem

Microsoft appeared to walk back Recall until they suddenly brought it back unannounced and doubled down. So I’ll believe it when I see it

Mozilla try not to anger their user base with their new features challenge (impossible)

Keep taking Ls Amazon!

Good.

Normal citizens actually pay for AI??

Technically we have one. It’s called the Google Pixel 3 XL (literally everything runs on it somehow)

I would, but Reddit banned me for being a “security risk” after I started security hardened my browser and apparently they prompt you to login when you use a VPN :/

This may finally convince my parents to get rid of their ring camera. Thank you

Sounds like one hell of an ecochamber they’d be creating if Bluesky was that strict about it. Guess we really are just segregating polticial ideologies into different platforms now so everyone can continue to become radicalized into opposite directions until there’s no choice but to fight a Civil War to defeat the fascists.

Oh well, I prefer Mastodon myself. Personally, I only really use Bluesky for following content creators I like. Unfortunately, the chances of someone having a Mastodon account is rare right now (at least in my experience, but I’m still relatively new to the fediverse). I’d rather not be greeted with CSAM whilst doing the same for X anymore. We can at least agree that X should no longer be considered at all.

So I assume you’d be for banning the White House account on Bluesky as well? They’re controlled by the fascists right now after all. The New York Times has promoted transphobia in the past and they have a verified Bluesky account. Should they be banned too?

Thus why I mentioned that they must follow the ToS. If they actually did start to post discriminatory content or hate speech on Bluesky, then they should by all means become banned like everyone else would since that would be breaking ToS. Those “gotta catch em all” posts on Twitter is not going to be tolerated by Bluesky…at least I hope. If not, then I suppose you’re right, Mastodon is the only place that won’t platform fascist propaganda…at least not on the main instance

Normally I’d agree, but ICE is a government organization and since people get their news on social media these days, it makes sense that ICE doesn’t get banned as long as they follow ToS.

Does a verification equate to an endorsement now? I’m strongly against ICE, but as long as ICE exists, then it makes sense to verify their official account. That’s all verification is to me at least, just something to let you know it’s the real _ account rather than an imposter.
