Oh, cool, so when does he sacrifice himself for the good of the universe?

I’m thinking of both. 6% of X revenue is too little, and X not making a positive net profit suggests that Musk wouldn’t even care about it because it ends up requiring just a fraction of his wealth to maintain it for the objective he has for it. That it might not be profitable and he’s still twerking around with it heavily suggests that he doesn’t care about revenue either.

It’s a stain on government agencies that haven’t left it yet, honestly. Specially considering the federated alternatives. People should just leave and stop giving it legitimacy, leaving only the hate speech and the ability to prosecute it as such.

Well, they don’t want to do the one thing needed to make it successful: transparency. Maybe it can’t be.

Until populism gets a beef with it and begins appealing to the crazies, who will happily egg and throw paint bombs solar panels. But at least we haven’t reached that point in the timeline yet.

Is 6% of X revenue enough to disincentivize him? Is X even making positive net profit? EU needs to get its teeth on and begin doing things like blocking their apps in the regional app stores.

Is he … is Musk growing an evil goatee?

I can sort of understand corruption and social inequality being so high that they don’t know which rich asshole is playing vigilante, they would just suspect that one of them is. The armament Batman uses, well Wayne industries would be the obvious explanation, but it isn’t like rich assholes wouldn’t have other options. Who was the rich asshole with a jetpack/high altitude drone flying it near airports in Los Angeles?

Batman would act not only as an example of social inequality and different standards for different social classes because of that suspicion, but as proof that only the rich and powerful can get away with acting like a vigilante while anyone else who does it to just try to protect themselves can’t. It would probably be Joker’s whole reason for being as influential as he is, “what a joke! well, if we can’t be the vigilantes we might as well be the criminals that steal from this corrupt city”.

I think there’s a considerable number of rich people in Gotham who could afford it, but the police is never really going to investigate them, they don’t have the power to even begin preparing the lawyers and the search warrants. They specially wouldn’t begin with the ones making large donations to the city who’s also the owner of one of its major employers.

However, the argument does begin to fall apart when one considers that other companies and industry leaders would want to spy on Wayne and that batman’s “secret” hideout never really changes. Competitors and law enforcement would eventually put two and two together.

Of course, it’s by design.

There’s probably a great deal of involvement from bad actors who want to farm and exploit big data where they couldn’t before. I wouldn’t blame you, lemmy should be branched, but isn’t that what kbin.social is?

The problem isn’t the majority of people, it’s the minority of people who wouldn’t, specially in the environment surrounding Clark Kent. Neighbors, old class mates, heck, he is surrounded by an army of investigative journalists. At the very least they would joke about it even if they didn’t believe it.

Reddit has become like the Nigerian prince letters with this, as in if you are nuanced enough to ever experience this, you are not their target audience. They want only their very slim narratives to thrive, and they will willingly obliterate the post history and presence of decade old users to achieve this. This isn’t just keeping away conspiracy theories and misinformation to keep the noise down, it’s about keeping away any nuance and discussion away when the admins don’t like it when it personally offends them or argues against them. It is basically eroding the sort of participation that made reddit great and them just hoping that there’s enough participation left over to make it up.

Reddit is basically what X and Meta would be if Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg where as deceitful enough as Steve Huffman, as opposed to loud idiots who because of it everyone knows what they are. It’s a social network that is rotten to its core but has played people well enough to be able to get attention in places where it shouldn’t have been able to. Thank spez he was finally able to have his whole out-himself moment with the whole API fiasco, but of course he’s going to care less and less about appearances now that the cat is out of the bag.

What it shows is that a low of troll factories are trying to switch to sparking and feeding a conflict where Netanyahu was clearly being left out more and more internationally as the abuser, and it is a conflict that were the over-bearing colonialism on the colonialist side is not even comparable to the mass slaughter Hamas has inflicted.

The problem with private schools is that they have to sell themselves to the parents enrolling their children in it. You don’t sell yourself by putting down those important to your customers. Private schools are pressured to give an impression, not an education.

So, where can I find the Chad scrapper for reddit? They definitely have made it harder to track admin shadow ban and removal shenanigans, specially because sites like reveddit have decided to play ball as if reddit was acting in good faith in the first place.

Do it. Not only will that move a large segment of the content providers away from the social network, but it will open the market up again to the competition, which includes the Fediverse. By all means shoot yourself in the foot because those “dumb f-cks” no longer trust you because you’ve burnt that good will.

I mean, since you are putting them all on the same buses, their destination clearly doesn’t matter, so it might as well be their final one.

Someone needed to press the X on the X.

The problem with him is really the cult he tries to get to act outside of the law. They are enough that even just as voters they were a problem, but when armed and radicalized, become something much more sinister.
