Google's sorry excuse for a "Web filter" demonstrates how much they plan to stuff AI down our throats and arrogantly starve for views the very sites that their AI is getting its info from. DISGUSTING. I'm starting to feel about #Google Search the way I now feel about #Twitter / X. Gone into the dumpster.
The only way to add a custom thumbnail on a video on X (if you're not a verified user with access to Media Studio) is by making the thumbnail the first frame of your video, right?
It's hard to imagine #StackOverflow made their decision without considering the fate #Twitter and #Reddit suffered. That they willingly chose to burn the remaining goodwill they had with their users is bewildering.
Someone asked me, where did all the celebrities go? I think they were referring to the fact that #Twitter used to be the main resource for celebs that wanted to stay connected to their fans in a way that IG didn't allow. I really don't know that answer to that.
They're certainly not here, or on Hive, or even on Threads. Bluesky is a joke and the less said about TRUTH the better. Reddit and Discord have a different kind of experience. Did they go back to Facebook? I really don't know. 🤔
I'm sorry man. It is very clear that you misunderstood the note, and took offense when there was nothing to be offended about.
I pity that restaurant and staff.
This case is no different from foreigners, in particular those from the USA, who saw #KKK in the #Philippines and were offended.
* Some of them uploaded videos calling Filipinos racists. * Some of them also had the audacity to “educate” Filipinos.
What's wrong? Missed context… again.
KKK was a revolutionary group that fought against Western invaders, in particular, Spaniards. It has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the American KKK.
Or, that #Twitter incident wherein a #Ppop group tweeted, “Hello Negros!” And every Western person on Twitter called them “racist” and “educated” them.
Guess what? Missed context yet again!
That P-pop group landed on Negros island, so obviously they tweeted, “Hello Negros!”
When you are from mainland US, and you land in Hawaii, do you say, “Hello Japan!”? ROFLOL.
Only a ‘fraction’ (guesstimate) of “educators” apologised to them. There were even those who defended themselves by suggesting to rename Negros island because Negros is offensive to the people of Negros. Like, uh, they're foreigners who never visited Negros, not even the Philippines, and they knew the people of Negros were offended? Puh-lease.
Anyway. This new case? It's very similar.
1. Missed context. 2. Misunderstood language. 3. And a foreigner trying to “educate” a native he clearly misunderstood.
Put simply, Murmel is now entirely Fediverse-powered 🎉
It’s a bittersweet moment - the #birdsite was what led us to build Murmel in the first place. But it was also what ultimately led us to search for alternatives. We’re happy to have our new home here, and are looking forward to seeing it develop further!
für euch getestet : in Stormy Daniels Testemony reingehört, nach common sense wäre Donald #Trump demnach ein Vergewaltiger. Bei #Twitter vorbei geschaut : Übelkeit und Erbrochenes überall, rechtslastiger Sumpf. Internet kann so eine Schlammgrube sein, Internet wieder zu. Wer doch einen guten aktuellen ~firsthand Überblick möchte, folgt #ResistanceLive - New York Anwältin die das Verfahren um Trump begleitet mit stabilen Wertehorizont. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hpcak_wtFWc
"Who am i willing to deal with? Which weirdos and losers am i willing to sift through. What negative experiences am i willing have? What confusion? What difficulty? What annoyance?"
@BeAware It's a meat grinder right now over there. For some reason, the majority of the big accounts distrust "the fediverse," as Mark Zuckerberg is writing the word, and don't open to it. Yet everyone seems to stampede around #Threads and pumps up hundreds of posts daily, probably to seize as much followers as they can to establish a #Twitter "backup." Which actually means they probably want it to be Twitter-like. It's a fear of change.
I feel like I'm talking like a recovering addict, but most of my friends (my offline friends, but who live on the other side of the planet) are still all on #Twitter (and never settled here) and with Facebook becoming unusable, I talk with them less and less, and well... I miss them... I went to my Twitter account today, and they were all there and I don't know what to do. Should I reactivate an account there and have it private or something? I don't want to, though. Why can't they come here?
