@tshirtman @jukkan @Thelonious08 Short-to-medium term effective, 200% right! But the future they're throwing us into is far from "effective" (greater good). Plus there are (I'm sure you know) much deeper ramifications to "post-truths" (aka lies as a form of truth). ANYWAY

@tshirtman @jukkan @Thelonious08 I also came to the comments to check this. I hate Musk and the GOP as much as everyone here but sharing fake posts is similar to what conservatives have been doing for the past few years.

Why donate to my campaign for US Congress?

Because as Exxon makes $55.7B in annual profit & knowingly destroys the climate—my opponent happily takes Exxon campaign donations.😳

That's absurd.

@JenMsft I usually use a browser's url bar. I'd be scare to press Enter and call on an obscure Windows command with terrible consequences :)

There's this music artist, with a complete Trance label, that I stopped following when I discovered they were promoting NFTs. Many months later, I'll admit that it's hard to resist listening to their great music when I hear it on Spotify. But that's the price we pay.

There's a deeply humanistic view of tech at the center of @pluralistic's work and this article shows it well: finance and tech industries are burning our social environments by consolidating power and stopping tech progress https://doctorow.medium.com/let-the-platforms-burn-6fb3e6c0d980

Twitter users: I can't leave.

Mastodon users: I want the information and to feel safe.

Blue Sky users: I want to feel smart (and feel a bit safe, later).

Threads users: I want everything, but mostly to be famous or see famous people.
