Yep, nsfw means no ads.

Also set it so a mod has to approve every post before it shows.

That way the sub is technically up and they can't take it or make money off it.

Twitter will abide by the law but will not go further, Musk said during the interview. He claimed hate speech had decreased by 30 percent since he took over, even as Lapix presented him with statistics saying the opposite — including a study by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue exposing a 105 percent increase in antisemitic posts.

Pressed by the interviewer, the billionaire, a self-proclaimed freedom of expression absolutist, said the definition of hate speech shouldn't be too broad or it could lead to censorship. Shown tweets rejoicing about the migrant boat disaster off Greece last week, Musk conceded they were "distasteful" but should remain online as long as they're not illegal.

His definition of hate speech is just shit he disagrees with.

He agrees with anti-lgtbq and antisemitism, so to him, that's not hate speech

I boil mine because I like the way it tastes–it’s sweeter

That's actually a really bad sign...

The most likely thing to make water taste sweet is lead, and heating up water with lead makes it even sweeter.

And that's 100% a problem you need to look out for in America.

Also, there's no way to open it from the inside, they're bolted in.

So even if they surfaced, they'll still run out of air if they're not found soon.

but I don’t think people realise how bad it’s become.

One time I made a main level comment, then replied to one of the most upvote comments in the same thread.

Seconds later a bit replied to me with my first reply, except for some reason it cut off the end. I don't know if the bot ran out of characters because it was a cheap bot, or if it was an attempt to avoid automated detection.

Bots were a huge problem long before AI started trying to have conversations.

We all joked about it, but a lot of the accounts were really fake, and they usually got sold to advertisers after amassing enough karma and post history to look authentic

Why is half of it asking for investments?

Wouldn't it be a better idea to just link the actual Daily Beast article

Even if they do, every article about Twitter comes with:

Twitter responded to inquiries with the poop emoji, as they do every time.

This is worse, because reddit is saying if anything was wrong, they would have responded. So it looks like reddit just agrees with anything that doesn't get a response.

They navigated by getting text messages from the ship...

That's fucking insane when you're going miles under the sea

The good news is it's not something that really changes.

Just test your home once, it's not like you need to constantly monitor it.

There's a shit ton of upvote bots and subs had free gold to give out all the time.

Admins like it because it looks good to advertisers and idiots think buying gold is normalized

Mods like it because it boosts sub visibility and got more subscribers

And some users chase karma so theyre onboard too.

There wasn't much authentic about reddit

I mean, it's not for purely altruistic reasons...

Lead fucks people up and slowly turns them into rage addicted assholes.

We got enough of those these days, I'd like the amount to go down over the next couple decades. So I never skip a chance to talk about the dangers of lead exposure

How funny would it be if it leads to a shit show where actual journalists start demanding their fair share of advertising generated off their articles?

Reddit can beat mods because of money, but these giant media conglomerates both have money and are hurting their own advertising numbers because 99% of redditors never read the article. They have motivation and opportunity to get legal

Everytime I see posts like this, it's hard not to think OP isn't just trolling or are just also bigoted and that's why they don't see an issue with it...

Maybe your problem is you just keep asking social media users instead of reading one of the many, many articles outlining it.

She might not openly say bigoted things, but it's pretty obvious she holds bigoted views. Like, someone can be bigoted even if they don't admit it.

Because the building was an asset during the sale...

On paper it was "smart" to have it there because it was a tangible asset. Long term it was a waste of money, but canceling would have been worse before the sale.

Just kicking the can down the road

It's the result of Prosperity Jesus.

They believe they're wealthy because they have natural talent. It ignores lots of people are more talented, and never got the same opportunities to be successful.

In a real apocalyptic disaster, they'd be the ones real leaders sentence to death (either overt or shunning them from the group) to set an example for the rest of the group.

Volume, and diversity of opinions.

On Reddit I browsed "new" or "rising" and just subs I was subscribed too was enough for a steady stream of content.

On Lemmy even including all instances, there's not a whole lot on "new".

Which is good, because it makes it easier to find communities to subscribe too and also the problematic ones so you can block them and never see them again.

But low users mean most communities are dead. There's a Fantasy Football sub for example, there's 3 other people on it tho, so it won't really be very useful this season.

Reddit does it with Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Tumblr...

Some of the bigger communities is literally just screenshots of what people say other places.

It would be pretty funny to see an instance that just pulls posts from subs and posts them to Lemmy. Not direct links to reddit, just copy the link/pic/video

Why are you talking about Vietnam?

Vietnam is the reason we support with money and not bodies...

I mean, if it's real bad shit like violence, that's where FBI comes in, right?

Not sure if the ACLU would be able to do anything about hate speech.

But bad actors would have to run a shell game of go between instances to recruit. And they've been doing that shit for decades anyways. Hell, it's the same thing as under 18 punk shows back in the day when nazis hung in the parking lot trying to give booze/drugs to kids.

Like, imagine if someone said we can't have phones because assholes can also buy a phone...

I don't think coins/gold ever really made money.

Reddit gave a shit ton out to mods to give to inflate the appearance people were buying them to give out. And when you'd receive gold, you got coins to give others gold.

It's like a Ponzi scheme but without money...

I never paid a cent for gold, but had it at least 50% of the time on Reddit.

"unintentional landing"

There was escrow fail-safes.

If they didn't pay, there was funds sitting there to avoid downtime.

Took a while to burn through them, then they never got replenished.

You can make a login for another instance and still use beehaw through that

Might be the best solution.

I once got a bot reply that was word for word a comment I had made somewhere else in the same thread...

Like, people always joked that everyone was a bot, but I think it was a lot more than anyone thought.

Wedge something under the lock so it stays up, then put tape over it to hold it in place.

It's gaming an algorithm.

Big deals like this aren't made off one person's decision, there's all these metrics that are supposed to show the health of a company. But like anything, if you know the metrics you can just focus on that even if it's the literal worst thing to do. It pumps the metrics.

They're not trying to keep reddit alive forever, they want to juice the metrics so it's worth the absolute most on IPO day. It's all they care about.

It made sense trump and Modi got along.

But fucking embarrassing Biden acts like a far right religious authoritarian is in anyway a decent person.

They both just want India to become the world's next sweatshop

There's two reasons Biden said it was a good thing

1. The military industrial complex will make a bunch of money off India.

2. Modi's desire to fuck over his own citizen to grab the title of "the world's sweatshop" from China.

We can do better than someone willing to pretend Modi is a decent human and not a racist monster.

Unfortunately our next presidential election the choice will be Biden or trump/DeSantis.

So we need to wait another 5 years before that's possible.

Yep.

The first thing they taught us in my graduate level statistics class was:

Anyone can make a statistic that backs up their bias. You're here to learn how to accurately represent a situation with statistics, and be able to point out when others are misusing statistics

That's the hard part

Yeah, wasn't the first time, won't be the last.

Rich people always assume they know better than the plebs.

It's hows they justify treating everyone else like shit.

Because "funding other people's wars" is better than waiting a couple years till it's our war too...

Did you forget about WW2?

The largest (at least well funded) socialist organization in the world is the US military...

If everyone got the shit I got as a disabled vet, we'd all be a lot better off and the only negative would be rich people have a slightly lower high score that's 100% irrelevant to how their quality of life is.
