Boldly going where MAGA and TechBros don't want to go...

#StarTrek #IDIC #TechBros #MAGA

It's a thing.... And it's getting worse here.

Half the accounts pushing #gaza are social amplification #bots

I find this concerning on a number of levels:

1. I get a follow from what is obviously a bot account (sometimes several) posting pro-Palestinian bios whenever I post or comment in a way that punches-up hard.

2. Several countries are making it illegal to protest what is obviously a genocide of the Palestinian people.

3. Frequently these accounts are soliciting money. In its self this is not a bad thing. However when combined with (2) above this would/could leave someone exposed to being labeled as abetting terrorists.

3. The #fediverse is a social media ecosystem that consciously eschews the sort of bot amplification methods used on other social media platforms. This decision is a deliberate attempt to un-skew an otherwise rigged system.

4. Weaponizing the #GazaGenocide to destroy a social media platform for not being owned (controlled) by #techbros... That's fucking evil.

@stephanie I think it's good to expose these #ableist #techbros & shine bigger lights on their #bigotry.
@goss yes... enshitification as well. The #techbros basically ruined it

It is somewhat hypocritical of tech companies to appeal the recent court decision in the US for screen time for youngsters because of the deliberate design of addictive content. It has been well known for some time that tech bros do not let their children anywhere near screens.

As governments race to restrict minorsโ€™ social media use, the tech billionaires who built the platforms are imposing strict screen limits at home.
