Fediverse@lemmy.ml•Jack Dorsey says he quit Bluesky because it was becoming another Twitter
44·2 years agoToo bad most commenting haven’t read the interview (what else is new, eh?). I like this, Jack Dorsey responding to a question on how the US government had its hooks into Twitter’s leadership before the buyout:
I think it was problematic, and I also don’t think the people who got called out in the Twitter Files get enough credit for pushing back on government requests. The U.S. is certainly one of them. Twitter has a track record of fighting the U.S. on free speech causes, especially around transparency reports. Opening the lens even broader to other governments, we had even more fights. Tons of fights with India, Turkey, Russia, Nigeria. These are all governments that threatened arrest of our employees, raided our employees’ homes, offices, asking for phone numbers and personal information for accounts that were critical of the governments. I think that was one part that’s overlooked and not appreciated.

Fediverse@lemmy.ml•Release v0.15.0 Shagadelic Sloth · superseriousbusiness/gotosocial
12·2 years agoI’ve been keeping my eye on this project. Eventually, I hope to use it for an instance on my own metal, as it promises to be a lighter on resources’ server than Mastodon.
Well, any social media company has to follow local laws … Blocks only affect the country FWIU. A general opinion, not specifically for Blue Sky. I haven’t followed the fight between Musk and the Brazilian government, so cannot comment on that.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Defences Down! ClamTk is No Longer Maintained - OMG! Ubuntu
151·2 years agoIsn’t ClamTK a GUI to ClamAV if I remember correctly?
Totally agree. Started with the Me-Too movement where we saw people accused and convicted without due process. It seemed to spin out of the Jian Gnomeshi acquittal.
Yet you use Javascript if you use a web browser. People need to separate personal life from the work or professional one.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Introducing Badger Swarm: New Project Helps Privacy Badger Block Ever More Trackers
12·2 years agoBTW The BRAVE browser has built in tracking prevention without requiring extension overhead. Works better by default in my experience than either of the two mentioned in the post. YMMV though.






At least Dorsey is thinking about social platforms, problems. Did you even read the post or simply spouting what your tribe says in your echo chamber?
