Hey this is the point when you want to think about which of the people you know would report you to a secret police force, and then start icing those people out of your life.
If you’re wondering how Musk is dealing, he created an account for posting Brazilian legal documents, to ‘expose’ Judge Alexandre de Moraes. And apparently some of these documents contain personal identifying info about Brazilian citizens. So Musk is doxxing Brazilians.
So, if you trust Xitter to protect your information, be aware that Elon Musk is currently publishing the private identifying information of Brazilian citizens.
Before his account vanished, Souza made a post that seemed to endorse the theory that Trump wasn’t injured by a bullet in the attempt on his life. I suspect Souza deleted his account rather than weather blowback from making that post.
@barney it sure is odd! It’s tempting to think X suspended Souza’s account but i think suspended accounts show a different error message when you try to visit them. I want to wait and learn more before i assume this is Musk running interference for Trump.
the thing about the trolley problem is you can flip the switch so the trolley is headed toward fewer people, and then you can still try to stop the trolley
in the early days of Twitter’s capture you’d regularly see people getting mad at any suggestion that they should leave. of course they don’t like what Musk has done to the place but they NEED to stay and can’t go anywhere else and don’t have any choice in the matter and how DARE you
but it’s been a year now. a year you could have spent making exit plans and exploring alternatives and building new networks. And the longer you stay the more it looks like you don’t mind what that place has become.
BlueSky is in a panic because Jordan Peterson might? have just joined. Which I think affirms the value in decentralization. I’d never have to block him here because he’d never be permitted an account here and any server that would have him would likely already be defederated.
