Pinning this link, because this nonsense will never die as long as there's ethnocentric US mansplainers and Musk fanbois alive. (Just to add to the timeline - as we now "know" the year - Errol had already retired as a fabulously wealthy man before any of this shit allegedly happened.)
Quite amazing how completely techbros can fuck up without really trying. Take BlueSky's new labelling system, released late last month. It allows users to create labels for accounts and individual posts. So you can warn your pals/subscribers about, for example, transphobic accounts or content. Sounds good, right? There's two little catches. Anyone with a few tech skills can set up a labeller. So the transphobes can target trans people, too. And if you feel you've been mislabelled, you have to subscribe to the labelling account to even report it. But the real lulu is that you can't block a labeller from seeing - and labelling - your account or your posts. A block merely means YOU can't see them on BlueSky. Way to go to open a whole new harassment vector, dipshits.
For a laugh, from that same Code conference: Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino shows the main screen on her iPhone. Facebook and Instagram are there - but Twitter isn't.
This is peak fucking Mastodon. I put a CW with "Trump" on it. I use "Trump" in the post as well as in the AltText. But I will still get some cunt in my mentions saying "not all men". Because white techbros don't allow anyone to criticise even a pile of steaming rapist shit like Donald Trump without restating their "men's rights".
@oliphant@RickiTarr Another nasty little trick coming in from Twitter (effective with the increase in mobile usage as the screenshot width is more limited) is the blockee immediately changing avi and screen name, so they can harass the blocker's friends because it seems to be a different account.
