i might have my criticisms of mastodon, but the founder of post is out here pretending “net worth” is a protected category to signal you can’t make fun of billionaires on his a16z-funded twitter alternative

Run don't walk from Post.

Listening to Sam Harris' recent podcast w/Andreessen was a full blown fascist-valley-TechBro-palooza. Marc's gone full Sith. https://www.samharris.org/podcasts/making-sense-episodes/290-what-went-wrong

Waze remains one of the most egregiously invasive personal behaviour #surveillance services that #Google offers and Noam remains loosey-goosey on #privacy rights.

Post.social = Value Extraction from humans powering Value Creation for founder/VCs.

• Sam Harris w/grain of salt
• Waze remains egregious #privacy invading app/service in Google #Surveillance Plex
• Noam’s ‘fluid’ re: #privacy
• Andreessen thinks Gov’t is for losers
• Galloway affable but basically Calicanis 3.0
• obfuscation remains core to #BigTech BizModels

Post = Value Extraction from Humans for Value Creation by founder/VCs. Nothing new, that's why it got funded.
It’s basically a joke.
