Derek Powazek 🐐If you launch a social service in 2023 and can’t answer the question “is racism allowed?” simply and directly, you have no business running a social site. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTR3aoQKq/
Also, major props to Nilay Patel (@nilay_patel) and Decoder for putting his feet to the fire and not letting go. We need more tech journalism like this.
Marc Jacobs@fraying @nilay_patel More Nilay P please.
Also, I am stunned how unprepared the Substack guy is. I get more prepared for work meetings. “What will I be asked” is such a basic job skill.
How do Board meetings go? (That started as snark but I really wonder)
@trollball @nilay_patel new Dunning-Kruger mascot.
Anthony Sorace@fraying @nilay_patel “You know that this is a very bad response to this question, right?”
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔥
You know the difference between a racist and someone who just allows racism in their community?
Not a damn thing.
Sam (Satyajit) Grover@fraying Oh wow, that silence was deafening.
Erin Kissane@fraying why in the name of tiny baby jesus would these jerks not at least get media training for their equivocating bullshit
Wayne Myers@kissane @fraying Ooh, I think I know this one? After reaching a certain distance up your own butthole, you become implacably confident that while media training is great and all, you're good, you don't need it. Obviously this is never true but no-one will dare tell you, except, occasionally, the entire internet. You'll dismiss that as irrelevant for as long as you can, despite the cognitive dissonance.
@kissane my guess? They think they’re good at this.
mivox is exhausted 
@fraying Sonofa… gaddamn. 
Just. Damn. Wow.
Just. Damn. Wow.
betsystreeter 🦥 🐄 🦇 🐧 🐙@fraying They are so so so so afraid of awakening the "free speech" mobs
@betsystreeter they *are* the “free speech” mob.
@fraying Yes - nothing worse than seeming to narc on your friends
Jeri Dansky@fraying I've long refused to subscribe (even for free) to anything hosted on Substack, since this is how Chris Best and company have always been. I hope this latest stuff encourages more people to find a different platform.
