I recall posting warnings about federation with Meta, was ignored.
I feel like history repeats yet again. How many times have people called for not trusting big corporations, just for people saying "give them a chance!", and then to regret it later?
I can still block the whole domain whenever I want.
Real talk, can anyone explain to me why exactly Meta/FB pander to the right this hard? Are the ad dollars/engagement that good?
Peter Thiel I assume.
Ding ding ding.
He was one of Facebooks first investors.
Also a good friend of Elon. The dude who proclaimed "Fuck Zuck!" as he bought Twitter.
Thiel got his fortune from PayPal. Along with Musk.
Who knew 20 years ago that the nerds who made bank on the dotcom bubble would grow up to be the evil cabal taking over the world?
You can sell more to people out of fear than people just going about their day/night. The Right is all about selling fear (immigrants/liberals/pedophiles/space lasers/etc.) and then ask for "donations" to help the same folks making this shit up to help line their pockets and looked down on these people as less than. Trump is currently the Rights king, and there isn't a group he has more distain and disgust for than his own base.
psychos tend to be more successful due to their lack of empathy
It's easier to be successful if you don't care about trampling over people
Less regulation means more exploitation
Capitalism in decay results in the bourgeoisie and petite bourgeoisie collaborating, in an effort to oppress the out group and forcibly "turn the clock back." It's fascism playing out yet again.
Why do far right weirdos always have pinched, squashed little faces??
Fetal alcohol syndrome
Oversized vibrating anal beads.
He definitely looks like a Dustin doesn't he? He definitely looks like the sort of person that would have a podcast and as a result of that podcast is currently been sued by 40 different people.
That guy even looks like a right-wing chud. I bet he's got some runes tattooed somewhere on his person.
"halfdan was here", right above the bum
Serious question....why isn't the DOJ stepping in and stopping any of this? The FBI? Anyone?
What makes you think decision makers in the DOJ or FBI are against project 2025?
Idk. Hopeium mostly.

There's a big revolving door between DC lobbyists and DOJ Regulators, too, so...
I wish I was stupid enough to not have to worry about any of this shit. Agent Smith I want back into the matrix please.
Why would they? They aren't against it.
This is exactly what Threads users deserve. When the Twitter Exodus was in full-swing we told them to go to Mastodon (or even Bluesky for fuck's sake) instead of jumping from billionaire to billionaire looking for a social media fix.
They told us it was just personal preference and that platform choice wasn't a big deal. They told us it was easier with their friends and families already on Facebook. They complained that Mastodon URLs (exactly like email) were too hard for their tender little brains.
And now they're on a network overseen by Christofacist tyrants with a technofeudalist billionaire hellbent on destroying the world.
Imagine ending up in that situation in just one short year after leaving X because of Musk. Every last one of them backed the wrong horse, and we can safely call it stupidity. Facebook is basically responsible for Trump, it's not like we didn't already know they were the villains.
Oh look... the capitalists liberals have been bending over backwards for so many decades is happily marching in lock-step with fascists - again.
If only someone could have predicted this!
I'm ever-vindicated that I never got a Facebook.
He'll probably be trying to implement a lot of his own technologies using Orb Maths or Circle Theorems
With billions of dollars potentially at stake and Trump currently at 60% to win the election, I'd be trying to get on these guys' good side too.
Zuck has had staunch republican assets on the board and at the highest levels of the company for ages. They've boosted fascist content and pushed outright lies on behalf of trump for almost 10 years now.
FB doesn't need to get on the good side of the far right, they're already on the same side.
They have to make up for suspending Trump's account for two years.
60% of what? No poll puts him at that level.
You the guy who thinks betting websites decide elections?
Betting odds are like, the most accurate way to determine outcome? Even for sports.
If polls were accurate, anyone with a bit of risk tolerance could make bank betting against Trump. But people doing stats in swing states, campaign finances, etc seem to be in alignment (again, if they weren't in alignment, there would be money to be made)
In case you were wondering what kind of person in Nazi Germany turned in their Jewish neighbors to the Gestapo, it's this guy right here.
There's no functional difference between "I will support the Nazis if they win" and "I am a Nazi". Both are an equal threat, and both deserve the same historical solution for beating Nazis.
at 60% to win the election
LOL what? There is barely any polling out on Harris v. Trump, and the one's that have circulated are a dead heat at +/-2 in either direction. I'm personally waiting on Nate Silver's first real forecast tomorrow.
better get licking on those boots
