@YvonneEmilie@twitter.com Nobody gets it, but CW filters (and general conscientiousness about other users’ experiences) are hallmarks of @MastodonProject@twitter.com (an open-source twitter clone). I keep trying to convince people to get on there, but the immediate reach of twitter keeps people locked into it.

Not to single him out, but the actual argument is: "Outlets must protect their market viability by not antagonizing large, influential groups, in this case white people who bristle at labeling acts or people as racist." This is less honorable or noble sounding so we don't say it.

You ever try to delete your Instagram account? You just straight up can’t do it from the app. The disrespect Facebook has for its users is insane.

the typical new media strategy is now something akin to if newcastle had just renamed st james' park 'the sports direct arena' themselves in the hope of enticing mike ashley. just totally inexplicable business logic at this point

golden era of content where publishers no longer run 'best prime day deals' articles as paid promotion, but for free, in the hope of getting traffic they can sell to advertisers, who don't pay anymore precisely because these sites now run 'best prime day deals' articles for free

Facebook is the company that encouraged customers to sign up for 2FA using a phone number, on the implicit promise that they wouldn’t use this for business. Then they used it to link WhatsApp accounts to your FB identity. *Of course* they’re going to abuse this system.

tl;dr Whatever network Gab is a part of is NOT the Fediverse, and the whole lot of them can verily go get fucked. Thank you.

The Fediverse on a whole has been actively blocking the ever-loving hell out of Gab since they announced their intentions. I got my first Gab follower today and blocked the entire instance everywhere I have mod privs. Gab is not a part of any of our communities and never will be.

PSA (mainly directed at fellow journalists): Gab is trying to imply that not only are they a significant part of The Fediverse (the loose decentralised network of ActivityPub-based social networks a la @MastodonProject@twitter.com), they're the largest part of it.

This is utter horseshit.
