@npub1xf5…v5mn How you have somehow completely ignored the Twitter Files and the work by real investigative journalists like Greenwald, Taibbi and Shellenberger ( Weiss pussied out and cowered in fear of the security state and losing favor/power in left wing establishment media).
What the fuck are you doing peddling soft ball cover stories for the intelligence community? Never focusing on the actual culprits like Glenn still does. Might as well get your “tips” straight from Langley, lol.

@npub1thg…elgd I sincerely believe the disparities many people in tech cite against Musk are generational in nature. Gen Xers are built different, we just don’t have much empathy for first world problems.
The 1A is a whole other bag of worms. It was specifically created to protect unpopular speech and opinions, and Musk understands this and twists the screws on both sides to farm engagement and ragebait for his products & services. It’s genius really, especially if you have even a basic understanding of marketing and psychology. People respond to things they dislike 10X more than what they approve of online. They share their hatred to garner approval from peers, social media 101.
At the end of the day, the best way to combat backward / dated ideologies is to juxtapose them with better ones and rigorous debate in the marketplace of ideas, not call everything you disagree with racist / misogynistic / transphobic / etc… (as many who hate Musk - and really anyone that disagrees with the establishment narrative - often do).
Sorry, but all I hear are emotional / subjective arguments.
His contributions to humanity if he died today are empirical. Love him or hate him, he’s the Ford or Alexander Graham Bell of our time. My advice would be embrace his eccentricity and focus on the innovation, or just completely ignore him - you’ll be a lot less angry.

@npub1thg…elgd It’s basically the opposite of whatever “woke” is suppose to mean, at least within the context of the meme.
I’ve used most LLM services available and Grok is probably the most accurate when it comes to objective reality and facts. It’s funny and irreverent too, which is a breathe of fresh air compared to the sterile milquetoast answers you get from OpenAI, Midjourney, etc…
Theil is creepy and definitely sleeps with underage boys, Bezos is a massive self serving douche who just copies whatever Elon and other innovators are doing. Say what you want about his antics, but at least Elon is really, truly innovating.
I sure as heck don’t see the people who criticize and hate him so much building reusable rockets, driving mass adoption for sustainable energy, trying to get humanity to Mars, etc…
All I see is a lot of misdirected hate that could be harnessed towards the real enemies of humanity - like all the sociopaths at WEF, or the FED, or corrupt elements within the Intelligence Community, or the Military Industrial Complex, or the Uniparty in government all across the west (but especially in the US & UK) that keeps these scoundrels in power. 🤷

@npub1ajv…tppj Plato’s Republic playing out in real time.
The reality is - crypto will ultimately track and enslave more people than it liberates. Give it another 10+ years, you won’t recognize it.
It will be full of people (who previously espoused the virtues of freedom, sticking it to the banks & intermediaries) actively promoting CBDCs, debanking, social credit and biometric state IDs. It will be sold as something hip and innovative, but when you strip it all away, those will be the underlying properties.
Look at what “the social web” did to the trajectory of the “open web”. All Web 2.0 gave us is walled gardens, censorship and surveillance capital.
At this point, I just hope web 4.0 is everyone shutting the fuck up.

Psychologists have identified hundreds of cognitive biases. A new paper recently released argues that they all come down to one of a handful of fundamental beliefs coupled with good old fashioned confirmation bias.

@npub1ydj…jkdn @npub108p…yev6 I was thinking more along the lines of connecting your own developer account to your instance (either personal or community).
Simply add your API credentials in the admin area and a share checkbox option shows up in the WYSIWYG editor with an option to cross-post to various profiles on platforms you have connected to.

@npub1ydj…jkdn @npub108p…yev6 I believe you can still pay for API on X. Minds is moving towards deeper Fediverse interoperability and Meta recently announced plans to do the same.
I guess I’m not as much of a purist as some. I see those other legacy platforms as a place to tease shorter / cleaner versions of long form content and ideas I ultimately house here, on my own instance and / or on my blog. If I get shut down on those platforms, I still have my main hub that I own and control.
Even though this is my hub, its not the only place I publish & share ideas exclusively, and certainly not where all of my audience and followers are.

2023-09-16 04:33:27

- reply

@npub108p…yev6 I totally agree with that goal in the long term, but using those other platforms as a growth lever to raise awareness and drive traffic back to your social hub (and the Fedi in general) also makes a lot of sense in the short term.
The reality is… that’s still where the eyeballs are. 🤷
Normies are more easily sold on content syndication as well, so something you might reconsider at some point.

2023-09-16 02:22:31

Maybe there is a solution I haven’t seen yet, but is there currently a way to cross post your updates on your #Pleroma (or Rebased) instance to other social networks (like X, Minds, etc…)?
Would be cool to be able to use your Fedi instance as a hub for all your social media updates.

@npub1q8n…kct8 I’m rocking the extra crusty version.
What I want to know is… what YouTuber is this? 😂

@npub1mw4…p6t6 @npub1ce4…jufy @npub108p…yev6 Pretty sure anyone really invested in promoting hate these days are usually glowies or just young misguided autistic edgelords with no life, (trying to troll and get a reaction from people). I know some of that still exists, but a good cross section of what you see in the wild is one of those two.

At least the joinfediverse.wiki has exhibited a glimmer of decency on the topic of #fediblock. Props. This is the spirit of the open web. 🫡

@npub1ce4…jufy @npub108p…yev6 This is a recent edit proposal to that page (Communist Mass Killings) by a high ranking editor on Wikipedia… 🤦‍♂️

@npub1ce4…jufy @npub108p…yev6 Case in point:
Activist tankie editors on Wikipedia have tried to delete this page for years because it doesn’t go along with their preferred narrative…
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_killings_under_communist_regimes
The edit history and arguments presented are par for the coarse and should serve as an example to how far they will go to lie and obfuscate the truth as long as it serves their interests.
The question people should be asking is: If they would lie about well established, documented history - what else are they lying about? 🤔

@npub1ce4…jufy @npub108p…yev6 I remember registering on Poa.st when it first launched and not knowing anything about it, just checking it out. The FediStazi crowd quickly spread narratives that literal Nazi / Fash members were “endangering the lives of Trans and Marginalized POC”, so I stopped engaging with that instance and anyone on it out of fear of association.
Now there is some really heinous stuff that some have posted there (and other places), but the vast majority are just trolls making fun of control freak shitlibs.
The thing that concerns me more than shitposters and daft trolls is the chilling effect these far left Maoists wield over political discourse.
I’m all for supporting progressive causes and defending the marginalized, but 90% of the time the people screaming the loudest are rich affluent white liberals using these marginalized groups as a shield to weird power over their political enemies.

I have friends on the left and the right ends of the political spectrum and can see value in both sides of the argument.
What I don’t have patience for is:
Lying / gaslighting around well documented facts
Attempting to censor others free speech just because you don’t agree with them
Labeling anything you don’t agree with as some imagined “ism” or “phobic” extension in an attempt to “other” said individual (Alinsky 101)
Being a hateful / scared little bitch who would happily use institutional power and weaponize it against political enemies
If you fall into any of these categories - we will never see eye to eye. You are the enemy of liberal democracy and more specifically - the constitutional republic that has facilitated the greatest improvement in quality of life in 10,000+ years of human history.

#Shitposter rights are human rights.

@npub1vyr…fy55 @npub108p…yev6 You get a good chuckle when the shitlib Maoists on Mastodon try to report you on your own branded instance. You can feel them seething. Fucking losers.

@npub1vyr…fy55 @npub108p…yev6 Ah, so like the dweebs no one liked in Highschool who’ve discovered a way to extract power through accusing everyone they don’t agree with as [insert ad hominem].
Projection from all the rejection they’ve experienced in life.
They want you to hurt and feel alienated like they did. That makes them feel good about themselves, like they are finally winning by getting a shred of social influence / relevance.
Most of these people probably need some therapy, regular exercise and a lot less SSRIs.

How is @npub108p…yev6 on the #Fediblock list? Promoting blind censorship through universal block lists is more hateful and fascist than any of the people they are speaking out against.
Shitposters are among the most marginalized and disenfranchised group on the internet. Their rights have to be protected.
