I can’t leave Twitter again unless I go back.
I don’t think trying to convince people is going to do anything anymore. Everyone who was ever going to leave Twitter already has. Anyone who still uses Twitter after everything that’s happened will immediately dismiss this Toot or anyone saying anything resembling it as baseless fearmongering. What’s the point?
TBF, any of the big players are rife to capitulate to fed demands with the admin changes. Keep that crap out of Facebook, X, Google, Microsoft, unencrypted chat.
Super serious job of CEO for three different billion dollar companies is so time consuming that he has spare time “to work” as a head of a government department, as well.
This makes me think that maybe CEOs don’t actually do that much.
That’s were the real AI job losses will be.
A chat bot agent to deal with most of managers concerns, and a dashboard of tickets for those the agent can’t reply to. The last remaining CEo sits Infront of their dashboard and views tickets, get background and relevant info, and makes a decision based on what’s presented.Seriously, imagine 1 person having the responsibility, being well compensated, and has literally everything presented in front of them like some homer-simpson-working-from-home type thing.
So many VP and CEO salaries could be saved, and let people get back to actually doing useful work.I’d hate to be the AI “prompt engineer” that spends their day typing “you are a CEO of a fortune 500 company…” type system prompt, tho
It’s so funny that you think the humans that temporarily exist as the extension for the insane mega hate entities that are trying to destroy the world are controlling the vehicle that they are in haha
Sure glad I never had a Xitter account.
I post photos online, and despite the fact that the platforms (Tumblr, and I think Pixelfed too?) scrub exif data, I do it manually anyway.
Pro tip:
exiftool -overwrite_original -All= file.jpgIf it’s a photo on my phone, I have location tagging turned off… but I definitely take a screenshot of the photo anyway. The lower quality doesn’t matter to me if I can easily just remove EXIF data.
If you don’t think every major US site has been freely giving your data to the government for 20+ years, you’re painfully naive. US law has never required a warrant for this type of thing due to the Third Party Doctrine.
No idea why anyone that’s not racist, sexist, or has a reasonable level of intelligence is still on that site.
My friend was way into it for news directly from journalists and had been on the site since the beginning. As soon as Trump’s victory was secure he deleted his account and moved to BlueSky.
Time to leave that site to the deplorables and move on.
I knew a journalist who said she used it for work. Apparently that’s just where a critical mass of people refuse to leave.
But also she’d send me stupid memes from Twitter.
Worth remembering that if you send something to an external website, what they do with it is completely outside of your control.
Trust no company with your information.
This is basically good advice BUT it would have been equally relevant under Dorsey.
Isn’t Dorsey in charge of Blue Sky?
No, he left.
WTF? What a wild resume ride:
In 2015, Graber began working as a software engineer for SkuChain in Mountain View, California.[1] She then worked in a factory in Moses Lake, where she soldered together bitcoin mining equipment.[1] In 2016, she began working as a junior developer for the Zcash cryptocurrency.[1][3][4] In 2019, she founded the event planning website Happening, Inc.[1][3][4]
In August 2021, Graber became the first CEO of Bluesky, a microblogging social platform and public benefit company.[5][6][7] Bluesky had been conceived as a new initiative by Twitter’s original owners in 2019, but evolved to become Twitter’s main rival following the 2022 acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk.[3][4][8][9]

Edit: I had no idea he left. He thinks X is awesome now, glad he’s gone. https://time.com/6974971/jack-dorsey-leaves-bluesky-board/
Here’s an informative thread about who’s funding and controlling Bluesky now.
So it’s Steve Bannon MAGA, shady af, and libertarian. I love how they call their philosophy post-rationalists. It could be taken many different ways.
Worth considering that if Twitter ever ends up on the fediverse, the same will apply to any instance it federates with. Lemmy may be great because it’s not corporate, but its functionality necessitates that it be one of the least private versions of social media available.
Literally zero chance that Musk ever federates X. He went through so much trouble just to ruin the API, you think he’s gonna implement ActivityPub?
If you’re still hanging out with Nazis you deserve whatever happens to you.
Keep in mind that we’re in an echo chamber here. We see and read stuff that most people don’t care to know about, and we communicate amongst ourselves without considering the people who are outside of our echo chamber. In the same way people last week were googling about Biden dropping out of the election, a lot of people don’t know what’s happening with a lot of things around them. It doesn’t make them bad people, just ignorant.
As if they didn’t have access to all the data before
I made a twitter account that I never used and I deactivated it yesterday. I didn’t have to, but I did anyway.
Even before… all this… anyone still on Twitter was an asshole.
Stop visiting the Nazi bar.
