We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Our policy has been not to comment on individual accounts. You end up having to litigate every case in public, and we don’t have the capacity for infinite debates in public.
Then there’s also the consequences such as the increased litigation and bad actors gaming your systems.

Super convenient when you just want to excise undesirables from your website with total impunity btw
ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

I woke up and Dick Cheney was dead and when I go to bed Zohran is the mayor… perhaps this is the fabled moral arc of the universe I keep hearing about…

an unfortunate irony about this post - and even if you are the staunchest anti-ai critic out there, i think you’d agree - is that some of the most bigoted things are being said to respond to this. copy/pasting phrasing and terminology used by bigots but replacing “dna” with “bits” doesn’t make it ok
It’s becoming clear to me that if I want to lead a morally correct life I have to associate as little as possible with anything online because apparently in order to run a functioning socmed platform you have to be a fascist goblin from hell
