As the "New Normal" has shown, laws aren't always "the will of the people" - they can be the whim of tyrants.

The woke cult seems to be all about the latter.

It's more that they don't consider anyone not in the cult to be people.

As I'm sure everyone's noticed, this "Daddy Google / Apple / Amazon will kick your ass Elon!!!" thing is the new talking point all the woke fuckwits have went with.

Marten Luther Cream is already talking about crying to the ADL trying to get the Jews to destroy Elon for him and the EU has already stated that US companies must obey the EU laws on hate speech or else.

This actually makes a lot of sense when you realize this is the left losing control of one of their most powerful weapons in the new culture war and one of the most important keystones to modern day leftism is they have learned to use Corporate power to supplement the State power they control. (For those paying attention, we have a term for this: Fascism.) That is to say, they can't get Biden to declare Twitter a woke leftist safe space, but they can run crying to the other corporations they DO control -- your Apple and Google and Amazon, for example -- and get them to enforce their control on Twitter again.

The Shawn King crying to the ADL to try and get them to beat Elon up thing is hilarious. A fake nigger realizing that he can't use his favorite borrowed niggerisms against an actual African American who lived with the worst of actual niggers and decided "fuck that, I'm out", so he runs crying to his Jew masters. It would be hilarious if he didn't have a decent shot of success at doing it.

230 being repealed means the death of this site entirely. Doesn’t exactly seem like a good trade especially since we’d just get more restricted and insulated social media platforms out of it

Sorry, I'm a simple retard. Could you explain?

I always assumed repealing 230 would fuck with all social media sites, and even large search engines like Google. If the Dems want to chop their dicks off to spite their face, I'd say in the long run, it's a good thing.

The dems would NEVER repeal 230 in a way that would harm big tech.

Meanwhile everyone not worth 500 hogillion dollars would literally be completely unable to have any user interaction on their websites, ever, because the second you did, some lefty fuck would upload child porn and suddenly you're liable.

They even tipped their hand at this, with the GOPe / DNC releasing the EARN-IT bill, which would make a congressional / big tech board (read: the worst kind of DC insider swap critters with big tech leftist goons) to decide which websites deserved the protections 230 provided. And yes, they're still trying to pass that, and will keep trying until it passes.

Looks like more people will need an urgent therapy since Musk own Twitter and the latest case are the folks of the Los Angeles Times from what I read from "Paul Kersey". https://www.unz.com/sbpdl/ad-astra-...ch-to-twitter-means-the-end-of-black-twitter/

The architects of Black Twitter worry Twitter’s new African-American owner might allow too much free speech, which somehow impacts the ability for blacks on Twitter to promote lies like #BlackLivesMatter and #ICantBreathe.[Column: With Elon Musk in charge, it’s the beginning of the end for #BlackTwitter, LA Times, April 25, 2022]:

The only way I could see any change to 230 happening is amending it so large social media sites tie your account to your actual IRL name / social / whatever. This is unlikely considering how major of a change it would entail, but it would mean the death of this site because Null personally said he'd remove the site upon its repeal, and I really doubt any kiwis would be thrilled if the changes hypothesized here occurred and suddenly we had our jobs and names tied to us spamming death threats to troons and spergs

I'm sure Google and Apple are really eager to lose in court again for manipulating their app stores.

 

[Lemmingwise]

I think it is quite obvious Twitter controlled information, micro-managed their users, allowed bots to proliferate and used incredibly shady tactics that would make despots blush in order to promote points of view. I'm nobody on Twitter, I use it to shit post and look at memes and ignore everything else. And even still my tweets were getting no engagement until Musk took it over. So I was being hidden just because I was a minor shitposter and did absolutely nothing else. I mean, that's kind of scary to me. If they had an algorithm to limit who sees my mild shitposting, what the fuck else are they doing?

I don't think anything has changed yet with how the algorithm works. I think instead is what you see, that a surge of users and engagement grows because of the news.

Not to say there aren't velvet glove anti-engagement things established at twitter. But if I'm not mistaken, the codebase for the algorithm was specifically frozen at the buy.

No joke: If 43 billions could actually solve world hunger, why haven't we done it already? Can someone explain this to me? I'm pretty sure we produce more food than we need but the logistics and economics challenges just can't be solved, can they?

I don't think 43 billion would feed the US for a year, yet alone the rest of the world. And that's not including shit like giving food money to African countries only to find they bought black market guns to kill each other with instead of food.

It isn't geek cultures fault but rather grifters and activists. Most geeks were content to stay on their little corner and be left alone. But then Hollywood came along and began making comic book movies and nerdy shows like Stranger Things and they saw just how much money they can get out of nerds. Soon being a geek became fashionable and profitable. You had thots on Twitch pretending to be geek girls in order to get money from lonely, coomer male nerds. You have actors who think that what they say on stuff matters and began opening their mouths on matters they know nothing about. Then have fake geeks who never read a comic book, played a video game or TTRPG in their life demanding changes to please some minority who have no interest in a product. Then you have the greatest sin. The LGBTQ got interested in geek culture and as we all know, anything the LGBTQ touches turns to shit. I would love nothing more then for geek culture to go back to being reviled and unfashionable like in the good old days.

The former is called Social Gentrification.

I did a writeup on this over here, and how we got where we are, at least in tabletop hobbies: https://kiwifarms.net/threads/tabletop-community-watch.82392/page-47#post-9461177

But until a paradigm shift occurs and the LGTBQP freaks can't show up and turn everything to shit -- until it becomes acceptable to tell the coomer faggots and the wokie idiots to FUCK OFF -- there's no long term solution, other than to make sure to gatekeep your hobbies and make them as uncomfortable for normies and wokies as possible. Refusing to censor speech is a good start, these freaks melt like butter if you call them a mean name.

 

[Josterman]

LMAO. This is like claiming Minecraft was Notch's life's work. I guess in a way it is, both products are the only thing either man will ever be known for, despite absolutely half-assing it all the way in both instances. Both men had a flash of inspiration, made a thing, got lucky with cult-like users and marketing, and completely gave up on maintaining and curating their creation and sold the fucking thing to people who know even less about how to manage it.

There's nothing unique about what twitter is under the hood, almost anybody can make an app that lets you SMS-text each other either via phones or desktops today. There's minor value in other companies having tied their services to interfacing with you(like being able to tweet World of Warcraft screenshots in game, what a waste of a Warlords patch) but it's all brand loyalty, addicted accounts and existing habits.

The twitter realm is a toxic realm with only a handful of non toxic users and what I got is the toxic ones

They're really desperate to been seen as "serious people", aren't they?

If I was Musk, when the takeover is final and all the paperwork is signed, I'd make a single tweet consisting only of "Sneed." Then I'd delete it 5 minutes later at a database level and deny it ever happened. Just to fuck with people.

 

[PointOfNoReturnPoint]

I mean, I was thinking on it.

But really, its a billionaire doing what I would do: Shitpost with money. Its not new for billionaires to get pissed and crush/buy things they dislike. Such as Peter Theil with Gawker, who basically funded Hulk Hogan's suit to crush them into the ground because they fucked him over.

Do I think this will change discourse for the better? Hm, probably not. Maybe. Its hard to say. I think the funniest revelation is how terrified the progressive left is by it becoming a level playing field and just losing their absolute fucking minds. I've seen nothing well thought out, just desperate, knee-jerk reactions from people trying to 'own' Elon Musk by going "HURR HE BLOCKED ME FREE SPEECH LOLOZ" when its like, "Yeah, people don't have to listen to your shit. They have that right." Which says a lot, that they believe you should be forced to listen to them at all times.

I think it is quite obvious Twitter controlled information, micro-managed their users, allowed bots to proliferate and used incredibly shady tactics that would make despots blush in order to promote points of view. I'm nobody on Twitter, I use it to shit post and look at memes and ignore everything else. And even still my tweets were getting no engagement until Musk took it over. So I was being hidden just because I was a minor shitposter and did absolutely nothing else. I mean, that's kind of scary to me. If they had an algorithm to limit who sees my mild shitposting, what the fuck else are they doing?

It is clear that Twitter was a platform to control speech. Just look at their board. Nobody owned a single iota of stock, they just wanted to influence it. I do think that they will be helpless to stifle people now and that their viewpoints won't be the only ones heard anymore, and they really do seem terrified of that. Which again, is scary to consider. These people are absolutely TERRIFIED of people hearing or seeing something else. They have a child's view of the world. Twitter's top lawyer openly crying? Pathetic.

The main problem they will experience is that companies were told Twitter = Real Life. Their views predominated and nobody really was there to oppose them because they were either banned or ghosted or muted. So this idea that these zoomers and millenials have sold corporate boomers and boards on is going to come back and bite them in the ass, because those boards aren't going to understand the dynamics of online conversation. That's what they pay them for. Its the chickens coming home to roost, so to speak.

If Musk does keep his promise (who knows if he will or not), cancel culture, Twitter mobbing, shit like that will be infinitely harder. Twitter going private ensures that Musk retains a lot of influence over it and doesn't need to face any sort of buy-outs or hostile take-overs from firms like Blackrock or Vanguard or any other billionaire who is pissed that their favorite propaganda machine got taken over.

So, what essentially this means is basically Twitter as propaganda and a mob machine is basically dying, it was a powerful mechanism to enforce the will of progressives and with people saying what they want as long as its not illegal, it just can't have the same effect that it once did.

There is always Reddit though.

This is 100x more intelligent than any tranny could ever put anything out there about their point of view, based!

The vast majority of wars, genocides, terrorist attacks and disastrous political decisions made during human history were not made by women.

All those were propagated by a small handful of men. On the other hand looks what's happened in less than a century of giving women a vote.

Twitter is the only place their name carries any weight or they have any influence and they'll be goddamned if some interloper is going to come in and remind them of the crushing reality that the internet is not serious business.

His exact wording is 'I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law.' 'Far' can do a lot of work. I'm sure he'll work in some kind of 'obscenity' exception.

Obscenity, hate speech, probably even "harassment." I fully expect to see amazing feats of overton engineering from the left about what is "acceptable" to fall under the banner of free speech, now that Musk is trying to plant that flag. Hopefully he doesn't fall for it.

Also, expect them to suddenly discover shit like the Japanese posting lolicon comics to the site, or the Saudis posting terabytes of actual child porn daily. What has been ignored for a decade will suddenly be the biggest problem in the history of ever, with a massive media blitz to try and do as much harm to the site -- and Musk -- as possible. End goal is to drive Musk out and get a new lefty aligned idiot in.

(This is how the right could fight back against the left, btw. Take Chicago, and treat EVERY shooting like a nation-wide crisis. Reporters on the ground interviewing the victims, filming the scene of the accident, interviewing the cops -- they'll refuse, make a scene of that -- etc etc. Then make sure that every single time you point out that Chicago has the worst anti-civil rights violations in the country in regards to guns, and interview some black gun store owner about how the crime problem would be easier to handle except Lightfoot disarmed all the law abiding people and let the criminals keep their guns. Repeat for oh, 6 months, and see what happens.)

Sorry David, we find it really hard to debate with your boot on our neck and a knife at our back. But hey, keep suppressing the right and see what happens. Alternately, when you can't have us removed from our jobs and silenced for disagreeing with you, maybe we can have a discussion. Not that you types can defend your positions, or anything...

Possibly late and heteroflexible, but this is the most Twitterish thing I've ever seen. (archive) It also confirms my suspicion that Mastodon is a safe space in which furries, trannies and autists (most likely all of the above) spend most of their time wanking each other off.

The SJWs claimed to own the idea of Mastodon, until the Japanese DeviantArt clone Pixiv decided to make a Mastodon instance. Instantly they were the biggest Mastodon instance by a country mile.

The wokies showed up and demanded that Pixiv institute censorship policies blocking Lolicon / Shota (drawn child porn), Guro (torture porn), and shit like drawing characters the wrong skintone and drawing forbidden ships. (Yes, literally.) Pixiv rightfully ignored the fuck out of them and they lost their goddamned minds over it.

Then Gab showed up a few years later and did the same thing and REEEE REEE REEE.

Sadly, the Kiwi Farms Mastodon instance didn't cause near as much reeeing.
