If you can't tell that I'm still talking about the original meme (whether you posted it or not is immaterial), that's your problem.

Your argument was that the original accusation was appropriate because he is a billionaire. That's bullshit logic, and we shouldn't just make shit up about billionaires if we want our criticisms to be taken seriously. "I hate billionaires" isn't a serious take if you can't explain how these accusations are validated by it.

I'm always skeptical of any Trump voter who is "pro-worker". I assume they exclusively support workers who are straight, white, cisgender, and xtian...

I mean, the reason Musk is an issue is because Twitter is a privately owned, for-profit company. The issue is top-down leadership. Bluesky is absolutely doomed to the same fate.

Bluesky is a for-profit corporation backed by Venture Capital and run by Crypto assholes.

Jack Dorsey launched the initiative in 2019 as a proof-of-concept for a federated Twitter, which never happened. After dumping Twitter, he re-launched it as a standalone social media service and flagship ATProto instance, before jumping ship and letting it be run by committee. He now endorses Nostr, because BlueSky wasn't friendly enough to Nazis.

The current BlueSky CEO, Lantian Graber, started her career running shitcoin/scamcoin exchange (SkuCoin), manufacturing ASIC mining rigs, and developing for Zcash. She masquerades as a progressive techie, even as all of her past experience leans Libertarian/Anarchocapitalist, and all of her other ventures' websites are plastered with GenAI slop.

Bluesky is growing faster than ever expected, and with virtually zero real federation going on. It's going to fail catastrophically when the new user base realizes they signed up for the same shit they were trying to get away from.

It isn't that hard to realize that a FOSS product developed by a nonprofit (eg. Mastodon) is the correct answer, not more centralized, corporate, for-profit social media...

You're always welcome to go back to Reddit if you don't like it here.

"Would you like to see us leverage AI to help address societal issues such as racial justice, climate justice, gender justice, etc.?"

Absolutely fucking not.

The people who use the machine are undoubtedly the same people terrified of a national gun owner registry. A machine that scans your whole face from multiple angles every time you buy ammo...

"Hate speech" isn't a criminal statute anywhere in America.

Post: 60+ upvotes

User feedback: "What the hell does this meme mean?"

Lemmy users are really weird with their upvotes...

Okay, then criticize him for that, not over some imaginary cancelable moment...

Good lord, just answer the question. Your meme doesn't make sense.

Nah, fuck the streaming services. Get Dogma released as a 1080p Blu-ray. Or, if the film quality allows, a 2160p Blu-ray. None of this digital-first/digital-only BS.

Are these the same union leaders who backed Trump, because while they're right about the need for reconstruction, I'd like to exclude any fascists from the effort.
