And Reddit is openly anti-Indian. What else is new?
wat?
You didn’t know that Pakistan bought Reddit?
Considering the current economic situation my bets would be more on Reddit buying Pakistan
They can afford… it’s only 10% of their GDP
It’s simply amazing though how many people don’t want to admit it. I mean they’re not hiding it at all but there’s so many places even here on Lemmy that love to stick their head in the sanding and don’t want to acknowledge how bad it’s gotten.
Bro really wants to steal Truth Social’s userbase for more money. He found out that the left is a lot harder to scam.
Aka products of blue State education systems
Aka “brainwashed.”
There’s gotta be a way to own this word in a positive way; like yeah honestly uni did help me clean house on a lot of dirty habits and prejudices in my brain, what’s the issue?
she cute
Lowk
And that’s all she has going for her
likely the case for both, but I was looking at the boopity boooooop not the booop boooooop.
He’s in the upper echelons of government now. No need to pretend anymore
Meta is even worse.
Even people who were/are on the right are noticing it.
Tom Segura isn’t a great guy, but I saw a clip of one of his podcasts where they were talking about Instagram. Any post anyway related to a Black person is just gonna be filled with comments saying the n word.
As fucked up as it is, TikTok appears to be the only big one that’s removed hate speech for a while now. It’s just become incredibly normalized which is why the wealthy keep gobbling up social media.
They want a race war, a culture war, anything to stop 99% of the population from figuring out the 1% have been fighting a class war for decades.
It’s all a distraction to stop people from talking about why billionaires are fucking over everyone else and we’re not stopping it.
Can you elaborate on ‘Tom Segura isn’t a great guy’? I think he’s funny and I’m wondering if there’s something I’m missing.
It’s not like he’s a giant asshole himself…
But he’s friends with Joe Rogan and agrees with him on a lot of stuff. And has said he enjoys “trolling” even about racial issues.
So he’s at best just tolerable of assholes with extremist views, which is why it was notable even he has pointed out how bad social media is getting.

Went on a tirade talking about “the poors” after he got told to check in his carry-on on a flight

Tech illiteracy
Also, Windows coined programs as apps, so pretty much any application may now be called app.
IOs application? -> App
VLC mediaplayer? -> App
Console videogame? -> App
Website? -> App
Calculator function on a smartwatch? -> App
The fully hardware-based light sensor that closes the blinds? -> App
My cat running to the bowl when I put new food in? -> Soon to be an App
You wouldn’t download a cat!
You don’t need to download a cat. They distribute themselves very well. It’s a feature. Try walking around with psspsspss coming out of your mouth and fancy snacks in your pockets and see what happens.
Cat downloads human in this case.
Your cat might see you as an app already!
Potato skins loaded with cheese and bacon? -> App
Trying to download … stupid slow bandwidth! D’oh!
That’s a bit pedantic. App is used interchangeably to represent the whole platform.
I work as a SWE in a team with 15 year veterans at an App company that is a top 10 most downloaded on Android/iOS. We still use the word app this way in tech meetings.
jesus christ.
It’s actually got nothing to do with race, it’s because of a lack of proper capitalisation and punctuation… right? It surely isn’t racism?
The weirdest thing here to me is that people call twitter an app. Not a site/community/whatever.
Zoomers and later generations mostly interact with Internet services through apps.
And boomers and relatively old generations.
I have older folks don’t really get what a website is, and family kids that don’t either.
Theres a narrow demographic that (as a whole) experienced the “old” internet outside of siloes and apps.
It is an app. It is also those things.
Eh… Never thought about it, people use xitter more on phones now
The first word they did this with was cis. This will keep happening and the attacks will get worse until people act. Leave Twitter
Yeah it’s a platform for racists and friends of racists (also racists).
But don’t be racist towards them tho!
It’s no secret that Apartheid Leon is trying to make everything back to the way it was in South Africa when he was a kid.
I’m sure he already has a very nostalgic flag picked out when the name changes to The United States of X.
wow, so surprised. And after it being a complete tool for getting Trump elected too. Flabbergasted, I say.
I had to check if this wasn’t leaopardsatemyface.
Kek ok that is funny
Don’t use state media.
Exactly the opposite lesson to take. We need public social media, not corporate social media. We need rights and guarantees, not profit taking and psyops.
Because the government of the US is very well known for letting dissenting voices have a soap box…
I like having a bunch of nonprofits because if one turns bad, I can switch. Your idea will work better if the state becomes controlled by the public.
States are never controlled by the public, or the working class, to be more precise.
States exists to protect the interest of oligarchs. Nothing more, nothing less.
I think in 2025 the “rights and guarantees” you want aren’t going to be provided by state or corporate social. Defederated / self hosted is the way.
It should be owned by the users and moderators, not the billionaires.
Don’t use state media controlled by a single megalomaniac man-child.
