Interesting that this comes right on the heels of the unexplained bug in Bluesky that causes the Minnesota hashtag to break on the day of the general strike. How’s that corporate-backed social media going, friendo? Is your speech free yet?

Do you have a source on this? It'd be great ammo for convincing my associates to ditch the platform
I thought bluesky officially divested from Jack Dorsey?
Every time I comment about bluesky I realize I don’t know anything about bluesky so… maybe?
Yeah, your tech is now under the control of Donald Trump. That’s the issue.
"Big tech" shall henceforth be known as "Big Pedo tech"
MicroSlop, GoogleSoft, Tim Apple, Chudd Bozos, Mop head... They're all part of the fascist pedophile apparatus.
It's almost as if they had a dinner with all the big owners of all these stalkerware businesses to ensure allegiance to the new king beforehand.
When I was 11, on 17th Nov 1989, in Czechoslovakia, my father was watching the evening news on our (black and white) TV, as usual.
There was a protest and the state media was reporting on it. When the reporter said, "our camera broke down and we can only show black and white pictures", my father IMMEDIATELY jumped up and angrily said, "that's bs, you don't want to show how they [the protesting students] got beaten up [by the police]!"
This was an interesting life lesson. So yeah, sure, technical difficulties..
I've even noticed some of my anti-ICE Instagram stories will not publish.
Let's now test the inertia of tiktok users. I know a lot who feel like they're the bastion of the resistance against fascism and love to call x users fascists. Now tiktok has turned fascist as well. Let's see if they will get out from there in substantial numbers
They won't.
I would say we don't need an alternative to tik tok...
Well, but people want it, so a fedi alternative is always good
I like short content. It's great while popping.
I was going to suggest using pro-ICE rhetoric dripping with over the top sarcasm, but there are too many sufficiently smart pro-ICE people who'd see through it and too many anti-ICE who might have trouble discerning it. And then there's the issue of getting the tone right in a stressful and dangerous situation.
