It's been several hours now, and the thing that just keeps striking me about Zuckerberg's speech/thread is how bloody bleak it all is. Corporate appeasement was inevitable, but this isn't that. There's zero attempt to make this look legitimate, he's even moving the moderation team to Texas, for fuck's sake. There's zero attempt to appeal to anyone outside of the MAGA epistemological universe, so it's all written in right-wing vernacular.
