    If you join a social network that *Mark owns, you get what you deserve, and he gets all your correspondence to mine and sell forever and ever and ever, tying it into all the other data the web has "anonymously" collected about you, even using different usernames, vpn's, and email addresses. ta dah!

    This is fantastic, the downside of course, if the general population being taught by their governments that COVID isn't to be feared, but lived with, and most importantly "worked through". The capitalist system doesn't function without it's workers, and the corporations don't want anything disrupting their bottom line, including covid mitigations, which is why you see Right Wing nutjobs telling everyone that COVID is over, and there was nothing to fear in the first place, while in the span of 12 months over One Million Americans died. Corporations, aided by the Right Wing bigots, don't want COVID air detectors anywhere, as they would invariably detect COVID. Reminds me of that movie where the king said to save arrows, and send in the infantry, because arrows cost money, and people cost nothing.

  • Is the Communities page, infected? ***** update: a comment reply said that derp foo is a name of a lemmy instance, so i'm sort of positive this was a false positive for a community hosted there getting flagged. what an idiotic thing to name your web asset, as it must get flagged all the time.

    Arabs are from Arabia, Jews are from Judea. Hope that helps. And if it doesn't we really couldn't give a shit, if it's not one thing with you people, it's another, we're pretty used to it by now. And we aren't going anywhere.

    The problem being, of course, that those that drink things like Diet Coke, are addicted to drinking things like Diet Coke, this hedging after the fact, is such nonsense, and meant to soothe the ruffled feathers of diet beverage manufacturers who advertise with News organizations. If the thing is cancerous, then it's cancerous, now you know, don't keep printing stories saying "a little poison is fine, if you watch it" lol

    **Last weekend Israel’s envoy to Ukraine, Ambassador Michael Brodsky, said that Kyiv’s support for anti-Israel resolutions at the UN impacts support from the Jewish State.

    Ukraine supports anti-Israel resolutions at the United Nations “in 90% of cases,” Brodsky said.**

    I don't trust any reported numbers, I wouldn't trust watching the tick go up automatically, all the Mastodon servers are being flooded by bots all the time now, the admins are doing yeomans work blocking and cleaning, but real user numbers are impossible to come by.

    I just know, I'm much happier not supporting Spez, Zuck, or Musk, and leave it at that, anyone else wants to join, they're welcome. Except Nazis, fuck Nazis.

  • How Twitter lost its place as the global town square

    Twitter didn't lose anything, Musk bought Twitter because he thought it'd be a goof to trash, and because he wanted access to Saudi Arabian markets to sell his electric cars and rocket ships.

    These stories are so fucking annoying because they purposely miss the point of what's actually happened.

    Elon Musk personal worth went up 97 Billion dollars since he bought Twitter, he's now worth, on paper 248 Billion. He can take a complete loss on the investment, and not be any the poorer in real terms.

    your VPN provider, sucks, and is leaking, so they can see all your traffic, and sue you for it, after they cancel your service. get a better VPN provider like NordVPN, or another major, and STOP using whatever the hell VPN you're using now, it might already be too late

  • Erdoğan backs Ukraine’s NATO bid, says Putin will visit Turkey ‘next month’

    Erdoğan is a Turkish Islamofascist pimp, he says he backs Ukraine's NATO bid, knowing the issue can't be resolved any time soon, but stands in the way of Sweden's NATO bid which is very much needed to be resolved ASAP for the betterment of the entire Alliance, and defense of the Western world.

    Erdoğan is a rotten two faced piece of shit.

    with intent, by design, on purpose, Elon Musk is destroying twitter at the behest of the Saudis who couldn't buy the conversation, but found a patsy who wanted access to the Saudi Arabian markets for his rockets ships and electric cars, who could

    Granted, the warning says clearly "If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content", which places the onus on the individual user, as apposed to logic built into Lemmy on which posts/comments can be viewed, while also leaving it to each user to have to weed out alternate languages for their views which are incorrectly set. This is indeed leading to many posts simply not appearing (as designed and intended), which is less than ideal when trying to grow a user base/community.
