Threads appears to be taking the classic coward’s approach to “no politics” on social media:

You CAN run your malignant terrorist hate account if enough well-funded GOP ghouls are prepared to defend it.

“Threads has doomed itself to being a vanilla platform where brands can thrive, but shitposting flounders. It’ll never be a true Twitter rival with such uptight moderation and no guarantee of anonymity.” https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/06/you-cant-post-ass-threads-is-doomed-meta-instagram-twitter/
You can't post ass, Threads is doomed
Threads, the Meta-owned Twitter clone, is corny at best and leeching your personal data at worst. Unfortunately, it's also boring.

Just remembering that time Elon Musk said he would donate $6 billion to the UN World Food Programme if they could provide a detailed plan for how it would solve world hunger, and then they did, and he still didn't donate the money...
Elon didn’t just waste 44B buying Twitter. The place is maybe worth 14B now. He destroyed 30B in wealth. Gone like smoke. That’s 30B he could’ve spent to blunt the most catastrophic effects of climate change. 30B that won’t help refugees. He could’ve done so much good & instead chose so much stupid.

The extent to which the “wokeness” panic is a labor story from many different angles is underappreciated https://bsky.app/profile/eladn.bsky.social/post/3jyd3g4ek5c2h
Tech CEOs have had it with the empowerment their workers and employees have felt since the pandemic, and they’re willing to rip apart their products to keep us all in our places.

Given Elon and his ex-wife were texting about him buying Twitter to fight “wokeism”, this news is as unsurprising as finding out that bears shit in the woods.
All major social media platforms fail LGBTQ+ people — but Twitter is the worst, says GLAAD
In particular, transgender, non-binary and gender non-conforming users are subject to hate speech and harassment on social media, the report found.

A counter argument: libraries are safe spaces that do not charge you money to be there. Librarians help those without access to the web to apply for jobs and housing, provide access to accurate information without payment, including physical or e- or audiobooks.
Libraries in their current form are outdated. The need for physical media is unnecessary and a waste of or real estate

The big mistake that the CEOs of both Reddit & Twitter have made is failing to realize that their sites are supported by lots of unpaid labor (creators, moderators, etc) and it’s not enough to focus on experience of users who’re mainly readers of these sites.

The 1-9-90 ratio is real.
Reddit’s users and moderators are revolting against its CEO

This lady wanted to adopt a cat from the local shelter...
She chose this cat because she was 20 vears old and didn't want her to spend the rest of her life in a shelter. There are no words
The picture says it all. ♥️
