Anything Twitter can do so can mastodon. Resistance movements can move forward without x with little issue. Twitter isn’t and never was special it was simply there at the right time. It’s not anymore and that’s okay because we are not helpless without some shit social media site.

Power to the people not corps.

I agree with you but technically speaking Earth from Star Trek went through very similar growing pains before finding their utopia.

“It’s not that they don’t care. It’s that they’ve given up.” This was how Commanding Officer Benjamin Sisko, played by Avery Brooks, described early 21st-century Americans in an episode from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. When it aired in 1995, “Past Tense” spoke to contemporary concerns about homelessness by telling a story set in 2024—the near future for viewers, but the distant past for characters. In the two-part episode, Sisko and two of his companions from the U.S.S. Defiant find themselves stranded in San Francisco, where they’re reminded that the federal government had once set up a series of so-called “Sanctuary Districts” in a nationwide effort to seal off homeless Americans from the general population. Stuck in 2024, Sisko, who is black—along with his North African crewmate Dr. Julian Bashir and the fair-skinned operations officer Jadzia Dax—must contend with unfamiliar racism, classism, violence, and Americans’ apparent apathy toward human suffering.

You can say the same exact thing by just calling it modern conservatism. THIS is part of how they conserve wealth

Wow that made me so fucking uncomfortable, from the serious adverse affects requiring surgical intervention, the company trying to shout down negativity and just leaving these poor people to continue suffering….

It’s all so horrid, I can’t imagine the stress and impact

Yes same here, Cruz too.

These guys are essentially attempting to employ the Charlie strategy. Play both sides so you’ll always come out on top! When the winds shifted, so too did the sails of the likes of Christie, Cruz and the rest of the pathetic American conservative/fascist wing.

He is speaking truth because he feels the shift in the winds again, they have been flip flopping like this since at least 2016. All it takes is for Trump to call your wife ugly I guess lmao

I don’t disagree but stolen is a bit of a stretch

What better way is there to enjoy your last years than ruining the fucking planet for everyone that comes after you

No, they do not stand corrected because what they wrote was correct, not corrected by someone else

You stand corrected when you make a statement and someone says no, it’s xyz. You stand corrected, acknowledging your mistake

Absolutely disgusting, completely disconnected from not only the nation but reality itself.

just another traitor standing in the way of progress

Just like RBG, too interested in personal power and ego, what else is new I guess

Edit: and naps, who doesn’t love a little power nap

wow, YET ANOTHER CHROMIUM BROWSER.

Fucking lame.

As a developer, I don’t see the issue?

They clearly didn’t cover username validation or at least to the extent of matching words, the devs fixed the problem within 40 minutes of the report (pretty great timing imo), and they have since implemented actions to avoid further issues.

What’s the fucking problem?? It’s still new as fuck, these things happen.
