lol as a semi-professional stage magician with astigmatism and a penchant for cross country travel by rail I agree with the other person.

🙄 The day lemmygrad gets defederated from this instance can’t come soon enough.
Agreed. It’s just two billionaires desperate for attention. The only thing that could possibly be more pathetic than this is the literal slapfight that would take place between them.
They’re pretty good at arbitrarily raising prices.
I heard about this earlier but re-reading this headline made me smile all over again. I will simply never get tired of hearing about Verizon failing.
I’m suspicious of any tech writer that can’t get a feel for a platform in seven days, big ole scary/confusing federated servers or not, lemmy just isn’t nearly as confusing as some people want to make it out to be. Particularly if you’ve ever actually used reddit before. Frankly, after reading this article I’m not convinced he understands either platform in any meaningful way.
Awesome. I hope they get him and his cronies on RICO charges and everyone involved in this brazen attempt to overturn an election to install a fascist dictator winds up in prison.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching him melt down over all these indictments. It’s just like, what did you expect dude? If you don’t want to be indicted every other week you should stop committing crimes. It’s super easy. Look at me, I’m not committing crimes as we speak! It’s effortless!
Yeah pretty much, they might as well say “we’ve decided to sack Jerry from the Social Media team” because this isn’t actually exiting twitter it’s more like reducing someone’s workload lol.
I hadn’t heard about it either but according to their blog post announcing it, it’s https://social.bbc
Apparently they’ll be running it for six months and then determining if it’s worth continuing to operate.
There will only be four remaining official ABC accounts: for news, sport, Chinese and the master ABC Australia account.
Somebody let me know when they actually leave twitter. This is a bullshit half measure.
Good, it’s the right thing to do. Russians shouldn’t even be allowed anywhere near international athletics until Putin is arrested and standing trial for war crimes at The Hague.
You sure about that one.
Yes. I believe the vast majority of parents since the beginning of the social media age simply never even considered the potential privacy issues at play when they filled their accounts with pictures of their kids. They were just proud parents sharing their lives with friends and family.
Just because I think it’s selfish and irresponsible does not mean I think the average parent was acting with malicious intent. Social media was brand new for everyone, I’m not going to judge someone too harshly for failing to understand that their social media activity over the years could undermine their children’s right to privacy.

Some child influencers are born to “momfluencers”, inheriting large followings before they have learned to walk. The LaBrants, a family based in Tennessee, have accumulated millions of followers documenting their lives online. They run Instagram accounts for each of their children; their youngest, aged one and four, already have 1.4m followers on a joint profile
You know, we’re just now reaching the point where there are adults who’ve had their entire lives documented on social media without their consent by well meaning parents and I think that in and of itself has always been a selfish and irresponsible thing to do. But this is a whole different level of crazy. I can’t begin to imagine the amount of greed motivating these people to rob their own children of their privacy and force them into some “kidfluencer” role before they can even talk. Those “momfluencers” may be getting wealthy from all this but they’re morally bankrupt.
Lol awesome. Fuck Elon Musk.
Well his own child disowned him for being a transphobic piece of shit. So I guess we could start there…
They’re right to be concerned. There is simply no reason whatsoever to trust Elon Musk. He is an unhinged right wing extremist agitator.
Well the good news is Voyager is available for both iOS and Android. Give it a shot, it’s a great FOSS app!
