      Just like Google, the fixation is far more on engagement farming than content quality management.

      Trump stuff gets the clicks, so you’re going to see a lot more of it. Also, expect to see an increasing wave of ☯👺 𝐏ᑌSşƳ ιᑎ вι𝕠 🐤🐧 tier posts.

    Please reply to my post with any random emoji if you had tangible relief and improved relationships when trump was kicked off Twitter.

    I noticed an immediate and drastic difference in my work environment, for example. I could elaborate but would ramble

    I mean I see the sensibility after reading the article, especially when applied to every other politician and the like. But… Trump is hate… Its all he spews everywhere…

        Trump is a worldender

        He’s just blowing the trumpet to signal the end. A symptom of a diseased system.

        Come down to Houston where a relatively mild hurricane has knocked out power for half the city going on nearly a week. This isn’t just a Trump thing. The rot goes deep.

        Most of us. Project 2025 will turn the entire nation into a hell hole if it doesn’t rip it apart first.

          Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts says the planned transformation of American governance will be bloodless, ‘if the left allows it to be’.”

          See? It won’t rip the country apart just as long as ‘the left’ let them implement it without putting up a fuss! (sarcasm tag folks)

          SO GO VOTE AND NEVER GIVE THEM A CHANCE!

          I was at a Pride event and a long time activist said this (about gay rights and what happened with ‘Roe v. Wade’):

          If you take it for granted, they’ll take it away!

    No shock there, Musky just straight up announced his support for Trump after the assassination attempt last night.

    They would be stupid not to. At this point it’s almost guaranteed he will win the presidency. Nobody would like to make an enemy of POTUS.

      A fascist accelerationist is poised for a possible win in the next election, and you’ve gone full Roko’s Basilisk and have decided to aid and abet the Fascist because if he wins, you want to be spared from his wrath.

      We’ll let me tell you, the fascists will eventually come for you if they are allowed to take over, so you better drop the defeatism and rally for a second Biden term like your life depends on it. Plenty of people’s do.

      Or just become a fascist out of cowardice, and the resistance will show you what real fear looks like when we find you, and I assure you, Trump won’t be there to save you.

      So think long and hard about what the actual stupid decision would be here. Announcing your plan to enable ethnofascism in America isn’t exactly a demonstration of intelligence if you’re hoping to avoid conflict.

          Fascism has a fairly concrete definition, and while it does exist on a spectrum, I’ll take the 15% fascist party over the 100% fascist party, hands down. Not a hard decision. 15 is closer to zero than 100, so we’re closer to the ideal.

        I just explained the reasoning behind Facebook’s actions. Now everyone is calling me a fascist. I’m a progressive FFS. You guys are out of your minds.

          Then why don’t you edit your post to make your meaning clearer? Because if everyone is misunderstanding, then it’s probably not all our fault.
