- Comment on Bluesky suspending antifascist researchers for sharing publicly available information about literal nazis. 2 weeks ago:
like when you looked into it you didn’t find much you were interested in, or like the people you were interested in have left that way of interacting with the fediverse? between the threadiverse and the microblog portion of the fediverse, we are by far engaging with the less popular and populous way of interacting with the fediverse

then why restore the posts and accounts? why did you say the mandate would exist soon instead of already? and yes. the absolutely have the money to hire a lawyer and put forward the legal deposits to challenge this in court. any company with more than 50 employees not approaching bankruptcy filings does

i wanted to take some time to review and reflect, and i cannot bring myself to the same conclusion. as you said, the mandate does not exist yet. plus, this fascist regime has invented new ways of losing in the courts because they simply don’t have total control yet. bluesky has the resources to fight for their users right in court. by choosing not to wait for a court order or even put up a minimal legal resistance, they complied in advance. to me, their decision to remove these posts or ban these accounts reflects not a requirement to comply, but instead company values. they thought it would be easier and cheaper to roll over. i think this is ultimately the underlying flaw of for-profit media companies so i’m not surprised, and the conclusion i reach is that with a for profit media company, i am the product. as the product, i can refuse to have my attention sold to the highest bidder as an “impression.” if i don’t like fascism, i don’t use bluesky. so i don’t

bottom line: compliance to fascism before it’s forced you to comply is how fascism goes from visible in the public sphere to all consuming slaughter machine. the best way to resist fascism is early and often. make them work for it. especially when the current iteration is fundamentally composed of lazy losers

i largely guage the toxicity of platforms by how quickly you encounter a genocide denier. nostr holds the record in that i encountered one on there literally as soon as i finished onboarding. a record that can only be tied, not beaten

complying in advance is incredibly dangerous

why do the banks and card companies even get a say? they’re just supposed to hold the money. i mean. i know they hold so much more that that and we’re just allowed occasionally to hold the money. but still. that they flaunt their power over us is annoying

welcome to what happens when a single corporate entity owns a monopoly on a sector. it turns into extortion rackets so fast because everything is secretly just mob shit in the background
- Comment on Microsoft says it provided AI to Israeli military for war but denies use to harm people in Gaza 7 months ago:
motherfucker, what? the “war” was over immediately. it’s been all one killing field ever since. any help to israel in that time has only been in service of making the machinery of genocide faster. this is no different than ibm providing equipment to make the nazis faster at genocide
- Comment on The Cybertruck is all tricks and no truck, a musky Tesla fail 8 months ago:
you can tell it’s bad at being a truck by taking one glance at it. all the other companies didn’t arrive at the same design via a process of convergent evolution because they’re a bunch of uncreative sheep thinkers. it’s simply the shape a truck must be in order for it to do the things that trucks do

Okay. But…
Why?
Not as in why do it, I know exactly why and posted about it earlier. It’s TERRIFYING. It’s REALLY bad.
But as in “why comply?” Fuck is Trump gonna do or not do that Google’s so fuckin’ interested in. Man fuck this guy and fuck google. I already don’t use them as much as I can, but FUCK THEM.

- Comment on CrowdStrike unhappy with “shady commentary” from competitors after outage 1 year ago:
There’s gonna be at least a few companies who correctly assess that there aren’t many because it wasn’t a good idea giving third party access to corporations to Ring 0
- Comment on CrowdStrike unhappy with “shady commentary” from competitors after outage 1 year ago:
They do long term contracts. They’re not gonna see many renewals but before then they’re likely to continually see cash influx from monthly current subscribers. But I view them as a dead company walking, like LastPass
