Yep. Trump is the only one who gets to declare whether tweets are jokes or foreign policy. Oh look a domestic policy that will get you jailed. Or maybe jk, who knows!

Anyone who stays on Twitter not only validates their lies, it lends them credibility. It also pushes those people to the right.

There is no value in normal non MAGA people staying on Twitter and helping enrich them. Lending validity…

Look at r/Conservative and how it is run. It’s on lockdown all the time. They silence even the real people on their side in favor of bots. That’s a system that will fail.

Liberalism didn’t crumble under the weight of its own failings, it was destroyed and dismantled and it cost them an incredible amount of money to do it. They won’t be able to do it forever. Unless we stay on their platforms, then they become self-sustaining.

Totally agree. My point was that once that stuff is compromised it’s irresponsible to expect you won’t be manipulated. They think they see through it, but in reality not leaving has programmed dumb opinions into them because they don’t have the counter experiences. They came to age during pandemic.

Yeay its maybe not that bad. Sorry I think I might be chasing the argument. I’m an old bastard who still has friends on IRC from 35 years ago and they STILL argue IRC serves the role of Twitter, discord, etc. I share their passion but more often than not I feel like they turn away allies.

My objections are to people claiming that they are the working poor. That is beyond ridiculous.

The 1% of weath owners own our society. You agree these are not our allies.

The SALESFORCE EMPLOYEES are among the 1% of salary earners. Meanwhile they could make a very very comfortable living doing anything else. But they choose to serve Mark Benioff.

My whole post is about Salesforce employees. You can’t see that. If you acknowledge that I’m happy to be educated about SALESFORCE EMPLOYEES.

You know who else is the working class then? Managers working under oil execs, who own massive stake in the company. That’s our “labor class”??

They can tap their big beautiful bill.

This kind of lack of perspective is why open services always struggle. It seems like it’s the only tool the advocates of it use since they fall into the “I have a hammer to everything that isn’t a nail doesn’t matter” trap.

This post could have been a list of free instances to join. But instead it offers people to learn hosting and sysadmin stuff.

I’m sure there will be a bunch of replies trying to teach me how easy it is… But I am a sysadmin. I’m not your audience, and some people don’t see a difference.

People who use corporate platforms do it because it’s easy. Joining matrix instances is pretty easy. Presenting Matrix like people need to host servers to use it is detrimental.

a lot of young people engage in social media activism which sadly does very little.

This is an X narrative. I recognize it from my TRANS family member who is in their early 20s and won’t leave Twitter.

They literally called it the front page of the internet.

Only when I asked them why Republicans and Trump and other entities are so afraid of protesting did they relent.

Online networks manifest as real world actions. Period.

Being informed is the first step. If you don’t have that you continue to do nothing while your enemies flourish.

If the left doesn’t reexamine the Twitter narratives pushed since Musk bought Twitter, we have already lost to our enemies.

MeToo didn’t go too far. Neither did pronouns.

Biden didn’t prosecute Trump or Epstein’s other conspirators and this is what we get. That’s what happened. We didn’t go far enough.

More strict than the bill of rights?

Go that way and keep going until you see the sign marked none of your fucking business.

Sometimes I’m glad I was a failure. I will never be subjected to this type of success.

If those longshoremen were working directly for ICE, yeah I would not consider them my ally.

If you serve oligarchs instead of making slightly less I hope you get sick and die. Period. I don’t give a shit what class you belong to if you’re helping ICE for a living. You are the one choosing to miss the point of who is your ally and who is not.

By definition they are not the working poor. This isn’t subjective and inflation didn’t erase the upper middle class yet. Besides it’s missing the point to claim that ICE agents are excused from wrongdoing because they’re the working poor so therefore can’t work for someone else. This is no different. They are not the working poor who cannot afford to switch jobs.

They have a choice. They are not trapped in their labor class. They can work for other companies besides Salesforce…they can choose not to support ICE.

IT’S NOT THE WORKING POOR.

What are you taking about? Do you even know what Salesforce is???

Medical help. Other than that, nothing that a local LLM couldn’t do.

Eventually I believe it’s going to result it worse care for the most people, but in the meantime, for some people it will mean early interventions. Maybe cure diseases… What humanity does from there I don’t care to guess because it will probably be worse.

People who earn 200k/year are not the working poor. They are upper middle class or upper class. These things are not subjective, they are well defined.

Salesforce does not employ the working poor. They contract out to subcontractors for all their cleaning and cooking needs… Salesforce employees start at about $150k-$175k for the junior positions.

No. The people who willingly serve them. You are being like this on purpose. Go back to reddit.

I think the promise of AI has them believing this is within reach as soon as they replace us.
