@mattsheffield i do wonder if the poll is missing the biggest reason: inertia. It just takes work to set up an account.

they're corrupt and pretending (?) to not understand that banning TikTok does nothing, because the adtech industry is so fecklessly regulated that Chinese intelligence could just turn around and buy U.S. consumer data from an absolute ocean of marginally accountable adtech companies and data brokers

I’m Abby. I’ve been disabled for months due to spinal issues, waiting for a long list of procedures.
Twitter was a great source of being able to hold conversations with like-minded people. I’m looking to gain more mutual followers here to fill my long days in bed so I can shut down my twitter account. The following hashtags are some of my interests:

While watching an inspiring interview with Vivek Maru about the Global
Legal Empowerment Network he founded, I thought: Global grassroots #justice & legal empowerment need a *digital* version! Especially since platforms are digital #legal systems, & so many users worldwide find justice inaccessible online too. So I wrote this: https://www.netfamilynews.org/content-moderators-digital-grassroots-justice Could content moderators b "community paralegals"/digital grassroots justice workers? Welcome ur thoughts #contentmoderation #techpolicy #techlaw
Future safety: Content moderators and digital grassroots justice - NetFamilyNews.org

A flash of insight occurred the other day as I was listening to a conversation between two completely remarkable lawyers: Vivek Maru, founder of Namati, the nonprofit organization behind the Global Legal Empowerment Network of more than 3,000 organizations and 13,043 individuals in 170+ countries, and Preeta Bansal, who was general counsel and senior policy […]

👀 Instagram's co-founders are back with a new startup: "Artifact, a kind of TikTok for text". Rumour is, it started out as a location-based Web3 app called BurbnCoin. But they pivoted... https://www.platformer.news/p/instagrams-co-founders-are-mounting

p.s. the site asks for a US phone number to join the waitlist :( I guess US phone numbers are the new iPhone app store, in terms of exclusivity. https://artifact.news/

Instagram's co-founders are mounting a comeback

You want to know how I really feel?

P.S. That's the tame version.

Well, it happened. We knew it was coming. A prick pulled the plug. And what bothers me most about it is how Space Karen did it. My mom passed away just before Christmas. Her decline was something everyone in the family saw coming and we prepared for her demise. It still hurts like hell, but […]

@annecollier I did notice there's now 2 choices for timelines, "all" and "following"...and in "following" I did re-find some people whose posts had disappeared from the usual timeline. But I think the platform's now been all but destroyed as a place to learn about things, share info, research etc. It's such a crying shame and such a gigantic waste of an opportunity.
