"Mad at the Internet" - a/k/a My Psychotherapy Sessions

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Featured on May 16, 2024 by Null: "Online Censorship's Institutional Power", an article about Liz Fong-Jones and the intersection of online censorship and reputational management as an industry - an article by someone very smart and handsome.
Looks like Null has posted his promised document about Internet Censorship.

Y-Combinator has invested in them. Y-Combinator is the forum which had hosted negative posts about Liz Fong-Jones quoted in this article, that I am having trouble finding now on the live version of the site.

Gee, I wonder how well this post will do on Hacker News.

Isn't it the other way around? IPs believed to be associated with VPNs or Tor exit nodes get banned, probably for a fixed period of 6-12 months that gets repeatedly renewed. Same effect though.

Great explanation of the Wikipedia problem and "reliable sources".
Last month, Sony released a video game called Stellar Blade to the PS5

Oh boy...
At the time the Kiwi Farms deplatforming was starting to show cracks in the Internet backbones, the EFF even launched a petititon website called “Protect the Stack”, dedicated to trying to preserve the neutrality of the Internet. They have never contacted the Kiwi Farms directly to learn about where the stack is in danger, and as a result they have accomplished nothing! Despite the size, prestige, and financial support of the EFF, Protect the Stack has accomplished nothing!

Protect the stacks of cash coming in from rich and poor nerds. Pretend to be doing something. EFF: The next ACLU.
There will be no participation trophies at the gallows.

Great line, unironically pat yourself on the back.
It appears to many that perhaps the only achievable victories are keeping a movie remake’s character White.

You know how Keffals called Null “the final boss of transphobes”? I’d consider LFJ “the final boss of the Internet as Null sees it.” And reading the whole thing, it’s hard to see this story ending in a way that isn’t “The bad guy wins. The end.”

Honestly, the only thing that seems uplifting is Null’s call to the average person.

I don't know how long it will take, but cracks can form.

The idea of LFJ developing censorship techniques that he can then sell to rich people is sort of reminiscent of Syndrome’s plot from The Incredibles. Makes sense cuz LFJ could certainly play the part.

All the money in the world wont fix his eyes or the hole between his legs. Troons, no matter how successful, have fucked themselves six ways from Sunday. Joosh can still walk away at the end of the day, Lizzy boy on the other hand will be fighting this fight till he dies, which is statically closer than he thinks.

Don't let it get to you. His reputation is shit and his only notable contribution to the tech industry is being an untrustworthy crybully. His back is cracking and body is failing from years of pharmaceuticals, he's a eunuch (i.e. genetic dead end) and estranged from his parents. His eyes are rotting out of their sockets.

Money and the drive to tear the internet apart around him are all he has left. Money is temporary and can't buy health and a healthy family life. As far as the internet, he's going to be remembered for damaging it while on a personal crusade. Outside of the turbo-woke SF tech scene, his career has no future.
