Tim Chambers#RedditBlackout organizers aren't fooling around and many have shifted into full on scortched earth on Reddit and to #RedditMigration mode:
Wonder what an #OperationRazit for Twitter would look like?
Charlie Stross@tchambers Very difficult to do an Operation Razit for Twitter since the Muskrat killed third party API access.
William PietriIt might be less necessary, as I think the monetary value of old tweets is lower. But I think you could do a lot with browser automation or paste-into -console JS. Either takes advantage of Twitter's skeleton staffing, as they'd have a hard time noticing and fighting it.
Rebecca@williampietri @cstross @tchambers This is very true. At no point have I ever been led to Twitter for an answer to a question. Reddit, on the other hand, handily does a lot of what Quora wishes it did.
draNgNon@rebecca_meadows @williampietri @cstross @tchambers if Quora was paying any attention at all they could make use of this moment
but I doubt they will
@draNgNon @williampietri @cstross @tchambers Quora has bigger problems, I'd say, and I'd argue that one *needs* to die.
I had an account there for about three months a couple of years ago. I met a few nice people, but quickly discovered that it has a *catastrophic* problem with paedophiles, and sexual harassment to a degree I've never experienced on any website, ever. Not only is their moderation team not doing anything about it, but it's actively suppressing individual attempts to address it.
@rebecca_meadows @williampietri @cstross @tchambers o wow, that is awful, I am so very sorry to hear that. I only ever briefly glance at it in a myriad of search results.
(EDIT: it's often on the front page of results, which is why I said the original thing about making use of the moment. just as well I guess.)
