A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Is advertising revenue so important to them they're willing to sacrifice literally everything else for it?

If it's not easy to use reddit, who will use reddit?

I've blocked every ad I've ever seen on the app. I haven't used it in a while and I doubt I'll ever go back now.

The only thing left that I use it for is getting alerts about live police chases so I can tune in. Ill leave that going until those people move to other platforms.

This is so dumb it must be out of context.

Elon and Trump are fairly unique in that context usually makes it worse.

The source showed the tweet as an image, so I went into the sewer waters from Fritter. And, yep, it's genuinely there.

It's not even that I believe him unable to have such bad takes: it's not the first time. I have just seen a few fake ones. But the fake ones aren't even needed!

WTF is “a stronger form of mute?”

You could see this coming the moment we started blocking blue checkmarks.

So…. You just get hit with ad bots all day long?

Days since Musk fucks-up Twitter further: 0

Not that the number was that high anyway U_U

Wouldn't this open Twitter up to harassment charges? I mean, it's Musk so it is obviously an ego thing and not a well thought out idea, but couldn't someone sue because they can no longer block someone tweeting hateful things to them?

[–] FlowVoid@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

Probably not. If you mute someone then you can't see what they wrote, and if you don't see something then it's not harassment. It's equivalent to someone constantly telling other people bad things about you behind your back, which isn't harassment either. Might be defamation, though.
