In 2017 #Obama called out the need for creating a tech counter narrative to what Twitter, Truth Social and the like have been doing. Why didn’t we?

To those who screaming "act now to save #democracy" It's too late. Your time to act was a decade ago. Almost 1/2 the country is ok with what is happening. This almost ensures there will be no turning back.

And here’s a thing I’ll add. Making jokes means you don’t understand your privilege and center that instead of the harm your blind spots are enabling.
Here’s a thing I’ll add, as someone who’s been there: if you’re the CEO of a platform with millions of users, you don’t get to have as much fun on that platform, period. And your job is to eat shit every time a legitimate critique of policy comes up. That’s the gig. Don’t sign up if you aren’t game.
i am catching up on the moderation discourse and it’s really annoying that this episode basically goes back to leadership trying to have a goof and a gag. there’s not a lot of room-reading happening which comes across as immature and unprofessional

This right here. All y’all talking about lack of due process and gestapo like tactics. This has been experienced by Black and Brown people consistently. Now it’s happening to majority groups and it’s an emergency. Good luck.
It's 2025, and some of y'all still don't even recognize US fascism until it happens to non-Black people. 🤷🏿♂️
Some of y'all still have no clue why a Black voter that didn't want Trump to be president, would sit an election out.
You'd better figure it out pretty quickly.
