The Klingon boy band made the final cut, thankfully. However, they shot two versions of the Klingons, led by Bruce Horak as the Klingon captain. The second was opera. Ultimately, the opera take felt too close to the other singing. Luckily, the Klingon boy band won.
Correction: Uhura*
That's a lot of words just to say "we know nothing".
Just a suggestion, you might want to insert the word "allegedly" somewhere in there because Meta is refuting that assertion.
"To be clear: ‘No one on the Threads engineering team is a former Twitter employee — that’s just not a thing" - Andy Stone, Meta's communications director
edit: yes I know that doesn't preclude the possibility of Meta hiring former Twitter employees and not making them part of the Threads team.
Short answer: No.
tl;dr answer: There's no tagging function in place unless you manually tag them using markdown, and that still wouldn't notify them. That would be a bandaid solution at best.
Who's really "being a shit" here? I see nobody else being hostile but you. Accusing people of that which you are doing yourself is called "projection".
Nobody else is pedantically picking apart silly things like wording and terminology and then lashing out at others. Just you. We all knew what he meant. Were you ever told as a kid to "pick your battles"? Do you know what that means? Not everything deserves a response.
What's the matter, did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning and decide to take it out on the world? Significant other break up with you or cheat on you? Got fired? Did your pet die? Why are you so angry at the world? What did it ever do to you? None of those things (whichever is applicable) is our problem.
Please, let's leave those kinds of toxic, hostile behaviors on the dead bird site and reddit where they belong. We're trying to build something new here.
Otherwise, "play stupid games, win stupid prizes" and people are just going to report you for repeated incivility and offensive language.
EDIT: And your reply has been reported too. Since all you know is how to behave like a child, maybe we should all treat you like one.
"loginwalled" then. We know what he means.
Just after he said "oh noes if you vote for her, taxes would go up 25 to 30 per cent and businesses would flee the city."
Quite the about-face. His handlers must've told him to change his tune.
He disregarded the protests as "noise". Of course he doesn't give a damn.
Let them die then. There's a point (that she's completely missing) about decentralization and not being beholden to billionaires to make the right decisions (they won't).
The general consensus is that this was going to be a monetary offer to allow Instagram to further colonize the Fediverse by purchasing one of the larger servers.
No, that's completely wrong. You're scaremongering. There was no such offer.
There is no confirmation of any financial contracts, or moderation arrangements and Eugen Rochko/Gargron has stated he doesn't know anything about any secret deals.[1]
From @supernovae@universeodon.com:
The nda wasn’t because of some absurd agreement but just the fact they’re launching a new project and we’re getting access to engineers and product team to discuss what the relationship could be. And they went well.[2]
There was a call to talk about engineering, moderation, safety, support for user privacy controls and how federation would look like. (and more)
There was no deal signing or any bullshit like that - that’s all fake news.
The nda is because none of this stuff is released and it’s up to meta to share details or admins to join the ongoing calls to learn in advance of launch what is going on.[3]
We don’t know, what we don’t know. So i initiated contact and meta obliged. Because the product isn’t released yet, there is an NDA.[4]
referencing users on Lemmy is not at all the same as reddit, since there are multiple instances.
there's no automagic function for it (at least not on the web there isn't - that's probably why you couldn't find one), you just have to do it by hand.
ie. [@foreverwinter@lemmy.world](http://lemmy.world/u/foreverwinter) becomes: @foreverwinter@lemmy.world
So use Mastodon. Problem solved. Twitter is toxic. You can't fix Twitter without fixing the whole culture.
Getting rid of Elon (in some hypothetical universe where you could do that) & restoring the site's design back to what it used to be isn't going to change the toxic culture. Twitter only selectively enforces their own rules and it's been that way since Jack Dorsey was in charge.
(Here's an example: I can think of a few tweets where people are ganging up on someone and those are still there to this day. Their rules are very clearly 'no harassment and no dogpiling' and they've always been that way. Do you think they give a damn to enforce their own rules? Only when Elon's right-wing buddies are being attacked, then they bother.)
Restoring the site's design back to what it used to be isn't going to magically fix the toxic culture (people sniping, dogpiling, attacking others etc). Better if we just set the whole thing on fire and start from scratch, build something new - oh wait, we have that. It's called Mastodon. The learning curve isn't that bad. But that would be learning something new. That would be actively doing something other than complaining.
Why would you want to back to a place where a billionaire or a corporation collects all your personal data? If you like that sort of thing, go to Threads, Bluesky, Post, etc. Nobody's stopping you.
