Dear Europe,

Thank you for the 'Reject All' cookie button.

Everyone

They've nailed the messaging though - this Vance person is really weird

Nice reminder that for every Trump and Murdoch, there's a Junior or a Lachlan waiting in the wings to royally fuck your evil legacy with third generation ineptitude #auspol #uspol

'Weird' attack-meme resonating in interesting ways

Seems like real accounts are emulating bot-like behaviour to spread the attack as far as possible, repetitiously injecting the word into all kinds of posts targeting the Trump campaign. It's fascinating #auspol #uspol

Hypothetical: US goes full batshit and starts throwing classes of people into camps and private prisons en masse

Do we, as Australians, front up and say, 'This is all awfully fucking close to events succeeding the Reichstag Fire Decree, my dudes. We're out.'

Or, 'You're doing it wrong. Concentration camps work best on remote islands but we see you've got the billion-dollar-contracts for mates sorted.'

#auspol #uspol

Less concerned about Trump than the system that created such a pathetic homogeneous villain, then elevate it to leadership

What a fucking idiot of a system. Who'd admire or try to emulate that? #auspol

Could we make an instance that's full of bots that friend up any and all #thread accounts, then push nonsense-data at Meta?

Would lend my real name to a bot in such a project

@bauser @Gargron

Other instances aren't privacy invading global networks that sell/exploit data and are run by amoral profiteers

@Gargron

Privacy-friendly? #Threads

Pertinent question, @Gargron , are you receiving any financial incentives, kick-backs or lucrative employment or contract promises from Meta?

Not suggesting that's the case but disclosure would be in everyone's interest if so #Threads

@aral

Not aware of that, looking it up. Cheers

Fediverse has the rare opportunity to strike a solid blow against Facebook and its tentacles

Mass blocking #Threads would not only humiliate Zuckerberg, but send a message that this space is safe from the data barons

Publicity would be immense, alerting hundreds of millions of potential users who care about their privacy and the open web

Want UblockOrigin for life

Some kinda augmented reality that replaces all display advertising with classical art or gifs from /r/aww

Quote attributed to Banksy put it best:

OK, found them (more accurately, they found me) and it didn't go well

'You splashed us all over Mastodon.'

'Not intentionally. No wait, it was intentional. Was drunk. You bought the second beer!'

'And they like us?'

'Read the feed. They fucking love you. Make a business out of that shit.'

'A business predicated on ruining our own industry.'

'Exactly.'

Met a fascinating pair of IT students last night whose hobby is creating fake people, millions of them. Fuck, billions for all I know. The fake people, not the IT students

So, they've automated a 'primitive ai' (their words) to randomly generate people and sign them up to everything! All the socials and rewards programs, anything that thirsts for personal data. They don't post or use their skills for evil (I fucking would), they just want to collapse the system

'We're going to push enough shit data everything becomes worthless

'Our hypothesis is it already is. Most popular SM? Insta. Even the "real" people are fake

'So for a donation of $20 you can fund 85k new fake people with which we'll further clog this absolute bullshit.'

Sign me up, kids

(And yes, I'm aware they probably blew that cash on weed but the concept is solid and they should be rewarded for it)

One of the numerous great things about the 'Toots

<Your Toot will self-destruct in> whatever you set that shit for

Ephemeral social media! So cool

Set self-destruct for a week

(yeah, yeah, nerds, it's 'so actually' forever)

But there's something cleansing about doing fire-and-forget comments. I'm not here to rock the world, just blast off some bullshit

And it's fabulous and you're fabulous. You, reading this right now? You're fabulous 😊

But only for a week!

Neighbour gave me some weed but I don't smoke or have any papers, so there's nothing to mix it with or roll it in

I've tried nothing and I'm all out of ideas
