WAR CRIME GIGOLO posted:loving lol so do I pay and get a bigger character limit? Or maybe a red check mark instead of a blue one? The suggestion is that verified users with x thousand or more followers will have to pay $y/month for z features. What the features are though, who knows. It's not going to be targeted at regular users though, it's about influencers/celebrities/companies/people who generate significant revenue from the platform.

twitter jack leans hard into secular woo, with things like "my continual fasting is actually a spiritually-based health practice and not at all cover for anorexia" guys like this love the shabby-chic minimalist aesthetic. i think it's a way to deal with the lingering guilt of being massively wealthy for no reason and being unable to just give your money away because it turns out you care more about greed than any of the secular woo stuff

ketchup vs catsup posted:Facebook is far worse for humanity. If hell exists, which it does not, it has a special wing for Facebook employees. Nah twitter is worse. Facebook theoretically has a purpose: connecting your lived experience with the lives of other people through photos, events, birthdays, etc. Zuck has perverted and destroyed that purpose in order to make himself a fuckton of money, but an open source/"public option" version could still be useful. This is not the case with twitter. Character limits, the lovely format, and all sorts of human limitations mean that no version of what twitter is will ever be good or useful. On top of that, it got Trump elected.

Force all tweets to use at least one donation hashtag and all white people have to use one which auto donates $5 to whichever cause if they want to create useless dialogue instead of actually helping.

All online platforms for social communication have some pretty fundamental flaws, including the one we're on. You're talking to a collection of pixels on a computer screen instead of a human being that could alternatively cry in your face or smack you in the mouth. Body language and intonation have a major role in face-to-face communication which is lost in text. To get along in life we all construct fake personas of ourselves with strangers, and it's exacerbated with an online profile and a check mark and an audience of thousands. Alternatively, having the history of your conversations and posts saved forever means it's harder to be allowed to move on from your mistakes. It's easier to ignore people over the slightest disagreement - avoiding difficult conversations which can help both of you grow as people - and create echo chambers. I could go on really. The internet has a great capacity to allow us to learn, grow ourselves, and connect with people across the world but that potential is usually squandered. I think online communication will always be flawed and inferior to face-to-face communication, I say while I type this on a forum. It should also be remembered that the internet was originally made to be a giant encyclopedia. Would you look for friendship in a dictionary?

Facebook's purpose doesn't have to be Zuck's original idea of its purpose. There is a use case for a publicly-owned or open source version of something that resembles facebook that isn't toxic to humanity. The same cannot be said of twitter.

i dunno, like we're bias because we're still posting on a dead format, like humans in general just like/want whatever it is that social media like blogs offer. like even the cesspool that was the aol chatroom in the form of discord/ various apps seems to be more popular.

Twitter is not the only thing that got him elected, sure. They were vile enough, however, to allow his hatred to find a home on their platform so they're the ones who enabled him and enjoyed the profits from the MSM covering his tweets all the time. History happened the way it did. It wasn't myspace that enabled him.

Sure but your argument seems to be twitter is more evil because of it. Trump being elected was bad but Facebook has been vastly more influential in recruitment for hate groups, influencing various elections and spreading conspiracy theories. Oh and being directly involved in a literal loving genocide. Twitter isn't a good company. The world would be a better place without it likely but its actual impact isn't as great as people think, Facebook is in a whole other league of its own in terms of damage done to society.

Cicero posted:I feel like a public version of Facebook or Twitter would be impossible, at least in the US, because of free speech. The first amendment would mean that you have would have to allow even more hate speech than FB or Twitter currently tolerate, just like how the KKK is legally allowed to publicly march. You could host it in a country with more sensible hate speech laws.

Once you have that much money, people stop second guessing your decisions/outright supporting anything you say; combined with the lack of any real legal consequences in your personal or business life, you (rightfully) believe nothing you do is wrong in any way.
