I keep getting arguments from peoplee about this, even on Bluesky.

Apparently it's too much to expect people to inconvenience themselves and not follow their favorite musicians or whatever.

If the vast majority of people can't be assed to take the absolutely easiest step possible to fight (or avoid supporting) fascists/Nazis, then we really are fucked.

Same thing with how people could very, very easily choose just NOT to buy another Nazicar. Yet 90% if Americans still bought one last month as a year earlier. It's just about the smallest sacrifice I can think of - just buying a DIFFERENT car that you might not like quite as much.

And I think the fact that we are where we are right now also confirms the problem.

I'm guessing also - 3b. and you know they buy stupid shit

You can mimic the feel of Twitter by taking reddit threads and cutting them at the most popular reply (Reddit already does this), and then reversing the order. Now the "best" content is front and center and the conversation / context is in the background. Users don't have to go through the tediousness of a discussion before experiencing the sheer joy of a witty response. The emotions come faster and more consistently.

My friend works for a local town that has a presence on fb, twitter, and inatgarm. The main reason he says they haven't moved to platforms like blsky is because as a government entity they are required to be able to archive all online communications for situations like a Right-to-know request but run into the issue that these small platforms aren't supported by the archiving software so they can't move away completely until then. Fun fact: 1st amendment prevents the government pages from removing or hiding comments you leave on their posta

I find it much more shocking he’s got a woman running it.

This right here summarizes the problem.

"Yeah it's full of Nazis and has had a big hand in the downfall of modern America, but my convenience!"

I'm surprised he didn't have a baby with her.

Lots of people addicted. Never had it, thought it was stupid when it came out.

Sounds loke she found the line for being a fall guy that she wasn't willing to cross.

Not that anyone really believed Elon isn't calling all the shots here.

i have huge news about what a CEO usually does

"I’m immensely grateful to him for entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting free speech, turning the company around, and transforming X into the Everything App.”

But it isn't the everything app. Oh, wait? Is it? Am I using it for everything?! No. I don't use it for anything and neither should you.

Non-fediverse social media is designed to be addictive because that's how the people running it make money.

That is also a possible reason for leaving.

What do you mean non-fediverse? How does Federation affect addictiveness?

Yea I really don't understand this, like move it's 2 seconds to join bluesky...like damn

I wish we could've heard what they discussed so bad

Algorithmically curated timelines are designed to be addictive. Fediverse doesn't have that, it's time based, like it used to be before.
