The what?

@evan maybe edit the post, link to the logo so we can see it for the poll?

@evanprodromou

Earlier you correctly warned that your sample set likely is not representative of Threads users as a whole, though. So, extrapolation to the general is likely not valid.

As a counter example, @jwz found:
> Of the 655 accounts I used to follow on Instagram, […] exactly ZERO can be followed from Mastodon dot social. If there's something they have to turn on to make it happen, zero of them have done so.

So, extrapolate from that, and it's *zero*.

I thought it was pretty scattered and mediocre as art, too.

Fortunately, that is a Frequently Asked Question that has been answered by @evan at https://evanp.me/pollfaq/

This Mozilla employee's post on Reddit speaks to the organisation's response to ad-tech surveillance.

Curious to know what @jwz thinks this tells us about the current state of play within that organisation, and how it informs our assessment of the organisation's role in the world.

No @liztai, Boeing has a history of harassing and mistreating whistleblowers of their grossly unsafe business.

@liztai

geez that boils me.

"You don't have to listen"? Yeah, I do, that's how hearing works. I have no power to stop your specific sounds coming in.

You, old uncle, on the other hand *do* have the power to simply mute your crappy device.

And because I can't change how human hearing works, I'm asking you to do the bare minimum of respect for other people around you, old man.

@evan Just as @johannab said, it doesn't (for me) depend on how many people are in the meeting.

If it's not something I need to pay attention to then (a) it shouldn't really include me, but often that's not for me to decide, and (b) I'm multi tasking.

If it's something I need to pay attention to, I will.

Doesn't have anything to do with number of people in the meeting, AFAICT.
