I have to be honest, I really don't see the Nazi salute on this one. I think @hpluckrose.bsky.social had this right: www.hpluckrose.com/p/stop-the-e...
There's a real risk of losing credibility by continuing to pounce on video clips taken out of context.

Stop the "Elon Gave a Nazi Salute" Nonsense
We need to be serious grown-ups.

No matter what context or country, left wingers always seem convinced that the reason that the voters are embracing a right winger is because the left wing government was simply not left wing enough
I saw that Liberal sources had told Global News they felt Trudeau had pulled the party “too far to the left” and they seemed to think that was the problem with his leadership
If that’s the takeaway the Liberals are going with, they are incredibly boned

To the extent this sentiment is shared, it's strong evidence that Substack is succeeding.
just totted up all the substacks I pay for and found myself thinking ‘wow wouldn’t it be better if all these writers were in one place and I could just pay a flat fee’ so anyway that’s how today I invented the concept of the ‘newspaper’

Honest question. Does anyone actually value having a “marketplace” of algorithms?
I predict this ends with charging us $8/mo for the “plain old timeline feed of my followers” algorithm.

This is the chief problem with using block lists. Blanket importing other folk's ideas about who you should and shouldn't listen to is fraught!
"Starter packs" could be useful if we turned this inside out - for example, I'd love a curated list of smart good-faith conservatives (yes they exist!)

Be alert, y’all! Some Block Lists are not benign and helpful. Activists with important voices get put on them to SILENCE their voices. Case in point, Brianna Wu was on a list that allowed me to block anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ people. Luckily I saw a post pushing back. Bad actors under radar here too
EXPERIMENT: Is it worth releasing content just on Blue Sky?
I absolutely lost it on Piers Morgan last night. Moderate trans voices that just want to transition and move on with life have no voice in the Democratic Party.

Social media:
- Makes mental illness transmissible
- Especially via politics
- The "cure" for the mental illness it causes is to hole up in an online echo chamber
- Those echo chambers drive news cycles, and therefore influence even those who abstain from it
IOW it's superweapon against liberalism
