John AravosisTwitter has lost 50 of its top 100 advertisers since Elon Musk took over, report says https://www.npr.org/2022/11/25/1139180002/twitter-loses-50-top-advertisers-elon-musk
RoYou know, the thing that gets my attention concerning how safety concerns have become a sticking point as more and more people join the fedi is how white people are defiantly defending what is rather than envisioning what could be.
The refusal to see outside of what they see is best is one of the most defining characteristics of white people in the fedi and one of the main obstacles to progress, as we are clearly seeing the need for an improved fedi experience across the board.
This is a microcosm of what Martin Luther King Jr. said about how the white moderate is the greatest obstacle to progress because they continuously side with order over justice.
Any thinking person can see we need better adaptable experiences in the fedi and platforms that better serve the safety concerns of the people.
The way I see white people bitterly fighting to keep a status quo that no one agreed on is the main driver of conflict as the fediverse grows, underscoring yet again the challenge of this space is not technology.
It's culture. And whiteness, as Du Bois identified years ago, is committed to fighting to assert itself in yet another new space.

Zecharias ZelalemThe most shockingly tone deaf event gets underway Monday. The United Nations is set to host its annual Internet Governance Forum, where tech gurus & world leaders discuss greater connectivity & human rights, in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa. This despite Ethiopia maintaining a 2 year phone and #internet blackout impacting 7 million people in its war torn Tigray region, where civil war killed over half a million between 2020-2022. On par with hosting a women's rights summit in Saudi Arabia.
In addition to horrendous atrocities and famine, the Tigray region's ongoing communications blackout has devastated the region. With residents cut off from the outside world since November 2020, Tigrayans living abroad are unaware of how family and friends are coping, many marked two years since last hearing the voices of their parents. I wrote a story on this for Thomson Reuters back in September.

My boss, Matt Mullenweg, the boss of Automattic, owner of Tumblr, is looking for ex-Twitter employees for Tumblr, saying,
"we're putting on a fast track to see how they can help super-charge Tumblr. We can't absorb thousands of people, but I'd be open to hiring entire teams if they already work great together."
