took her long enough

[–] Hund@feddit.nu 8 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Nandy says she will remain active on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.

In what universe are these suck services any better than Twitter? She has accomplished nothing by moving away from Twitter while staying at these suck services.

[–] SpaceScotsman@startrek.website 10 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Those other services are not great but they are at the very least not actively promoting AI-generated child abuse imagery. It's an incredibly low bar, but they do pass it.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Pretty sure Facebook actually does.

[–] FarceOfWill@infosec.pub 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

But they dont generate it themselves, making twitter uniquely bad

[–] Hund@feddit.nu 1 points 20 minutes ago* (last edited 19 minutes ago)

Meta is running ads that promotes child sexual abuse material with actual kids is as low as it gets. It's far worse than any AI slop.

facebook has admin controls for the user, so they can delete any dissenting opinion. thats why alot of people who have controversies flee to facebook, so they can delete block all criticism

That any government or public figure would subject the public to X's cesspool in order to contact or keep up with them is as fucked up as the platform itself. It'd be less fucked up to paste government news bulletins onto the walls of a crackhouse.

It's like with planting trees. The best time was to plant some 50 years ago, the second best time is now. But it is too late in many ways.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Surely the second best time was 49 years ago

[–] FriendOfDeSoto@startrek.website 1 points 2 hours ago

Don't call me Shirley.

Oh that's great, a meaningless gesture from someone in a job that she probably won't even have in a couple of weeks.

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Who cares? Is anyone still on X other than bots, nazis, and a few misguided journalists?

Hasn't been relevant since 2019

[–] Humanius@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

A bunch of politicians and government institutions for some reason..

Edit: That is also why the journalists are there

[–] CoolSouthpaw@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Years too late, mate. Get onto Bluesky!

[–] blah3166@piefed.social 17 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

For anyone who cares, Bluesky is not meaningfully decentralized and can be easily censored.

Mastodon cannot be censored in the same way, thus no long-term enshittification. If you're going to switch away from Twitter, give Mastodon a try. It uses the same tech/protocol as Lemmy, Piefed, Loops, Pixelfed, m/kbin, etc.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I've never really been that interested in Twitter so I have kind of ignored Mastodon, is it just open source Twitter or is there any meaningful improvements?

[–] FarceOfWill@infosec.pub 2 points 5 hours ago

The differences are mostly around consent. Eg. You cant quotetweet without the author setting a flag to allow it

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

Get in now before the enshittification.
