But I have so many followers!

I only browse it for R18 stuff. Hopefully one day I will be able to get most of it from Mastodon uwu.

It always just seemed like a rubbish blog.

Authentication code apps are free.

Yubikeys are like the same price as Twitter premium annually.

it's telling that not too long ago in threads like this there would always be someone chiming in to justify using twitter. now, nothing. they still suckle the twitter teat, they just gave up trying to defend it

we need more posts shitting on twitter

if your happy place is considering that to be "about twitter," then ok.

the comment stands

unfortunately yes, that's where all the idiots i like laughing at exist, as well as mostly bots.

I figured Twitter trying to dip into everyone's pockets by paying for checkmarks would have been the limit. But what do I know, apparently.

The solution is to call anyone who uses Twitter a Nazi apologist. And it's the truth. Anyone who uses Twitter thinks there's a valid excuse for supporting Nazis, and a level of Nazism by the company owner that isn't bad enough to leave over. The solution is shame.

Twitter being owned by a Nazi isn’t even enough. There is nothing that will ever pry their pathetic fingers from Twitter. Fuckin’ Fanta sipping willfully ignorant pieces of shit.

Read that sentence again and rethink your choices.

I don't have a X/Twitter account anymore but can still read tweets or whatever they're called these days

I mean, I've never had a twitter account but I've heard it plenty. Just peek over at /r/conservative once a week or so.

I finally got around to deleting Facebook this year too when I found out they'll cross post your Instagram stuff to Facebook if you don't click a box somewhere.

I get a lot more stuff done without the doomscrolling.

Mastodon is the federated alternative to twitter.

I thought that sort of corporate warfare was more Saints Row and involved septic trucks.

M is roman numerals for thousands, so MM is a thousand thousands = million.

Dammit. Still larger than what I have.

40 Zennies*.

Nice username

I guessed that from context and was just making fun of it. Writing it that way is definitely confusing and shouldn’t be done. "mm" is internationally recognized as "millimeters". In financial papers, sometimes, Roman numerals "MM" are used to indicate millions, but then it should strictly be capitalized. In my opinion, for general use, number followed by a single "m" conveys the idea best ($40m), and followed by "k" for thousand ($40k). Use capitals for more formal settings ($40M and $40K).

Yes, that is generally true. But Elon has shown time and time again that he is an inherently malicious individual.

Is it implausible that a jackass like Elon would spend a small fraction of his wealth to destroy a company that hurt his wittle feelwings?

That's how you get abused and keep getting abused.

I've never heard that phrase before. What does it mean/reference?

What other site do we know of that made their API a pain to use killing the app that I used to tolerate that site that a good chunk of is migrated from?

I save it for posterity like all of my Reddit data and every paper I wrote in college. Because it's mine, goddammit

That is literally not the definition of liberal though. Liberalism is a political ethos based on a number of tenets surrounding individual rights, private ownership of property and capital, governing consent via democracy, and an equal application of the law. There is plenty of room for those things to go very awry, and become what most would consider the wrong thing, for the wrong reason.

🤣

Then what happens?

Can’t really argue with inarticulate sounds I guess

Now show this to your instance admins and my instance admins and explain to them why they should defederate from .ml

The paradox of tolerance is only “paradox” if you start with the ridiculous premise that universe tolerance is good.

It’s not. That premise is only used in college courses on the day this “paradox” is introduced.

The paradox of tolerance is used to try and nullify the entire concept of tolerance, as a way of giving people license to be evil.

The actual theory of tolerance is much more nuanced than that. There are certain things which are chosen to be tolerated by society, and that set of things isn’t structured in a way that gives rise to this paradox.

Paradox of Tolerance is taught as a way to destabilize that more nuanced and functional theory of tolerance, to provide cover for people who want to overturn the old, functional, hard-won values of freedom.
