If you ve missed it, There were alot of "former" fbi agents working at twitter. Also The FBI paid twitter a few million to cover admirative costs with dealing with mis information.

yes, most large tech companies prefer to hire ex-LEO to have on staff. when dealing with cybercrime (child exploitation, stalking, harassment, etc) it's easier to have people on staff who know how to investigate, what to preserve and who to reach out to still in law enforcement. Twitter doesn't send tweets to the FBI tip line.

at Yahoo in 2006-2013 when I was there I was a service engineer with small business hosting. we worked with our internal 'paranoid' team which was staffed by several ex-FBI, they were the people the business wanted in that kind of role. this revelation is really only "shocking" if you've never worked on a platforms abuse team at scale. anyone who has been in this situation saw the Twitter files claims and said "yeah, that makes sense."

Before I quit Facebook this drove me nuts. It's not just reserved for chuds reacting to left wing stuff. I'd see a laugh emoji on news articles about school shootings and poo poo

Half of that is because old people don't understand that it's not "crying because of being sad".

It's not the clearest image and a lot of people are using fonts that are too small for them.

Sometimes it could also just be a misclick. The laugh reaction's fairly close to an appropriate reaction. Of course, some people don't realize this.

What are people using to copy-paste twitter embeds? Good ole Paint or is there something better?

What I'd like to see is SA moving away from having Twitter embeds at all, instead having a simple image attachment that links to the original twitter thread

Yeah the posting bad tweets to dunk on them trend is pretty popular on SA (especially in the political threads), but like I've never entirely seen the intrinsic value in it personally. I've seen Twitter as an absolute blight on society long before Elon took over and made it exponentially worse. SA has had it's own sort of culture and goonery long before twitter was ever a thing, it frankly doesn't need to directly play off of posts and threads that are happening on twitter to get quality posting and jokes and dunking on Elon and other shitlords for their bad posting on Twitter and what not. I've been all for getting away from twitter embed posting on SA for 5+ years now to be totally honest.

I mean yeah people are dunking on poo poo, but they're still buying into the system that twitter and people like Elon are propping up. If people are okay to square that contradiction and feel the need to direct link twitter posts and power dunk on them and the value in that outweighs supporting the service and Elon and what not then there's not really much else to say on the topic and it's kind of settled anyway. I've never fully understood it personally, but I'm not going to argue at length over it. gently caress that, I'm sure as poo poo not dying on that hill.

That near instantaneous push back any time anybody so much as even suggests an alternative to direct linking twitter thread this in an SA thread though......been there done that.

In firefox you can use "Inspect element" on the tweet, find the div, copy the css selector, and take a screenshot using the console like so

code:
:screenshot --dpr 1.5 --selector "YOUR SELECTOR HERE" --clipboard true

Not sure the definition of crying is pointing out that it is dumb to link to a service that we want to die.
