I dunno, he goes back to 1940. That seems far enough back to make the point with newspaper clippings. Definitely more than a single generation.

Spite mostly. Company's run by someone I hold in contempt, and they undid my small protest. So, I'll make it stick one way or another, delete the account, and never give them my time again. Like Epic, Honest T, or the state of I

Ok, so it's definitely more complicated then a global flag change. I killed my posts manually and they were gone for at least a day and a half. So, undo deleted posts on any account that axed at least N posts in the last week? Somet

Are the posts you deleted currently still deleted? Were they deleted within the last 5ish years?

Well, a decent number of people have been hit by it, from the looks of it. I just got to spend a bit of my morning re-deleting things. How much have you deleted, an odd post, or do you have an auto-deleter?

Check out the other thread. It looks like they just globally zeroed their is_post_deleted column.

I manually deleted all my content on Wednesday afternoon. As of 8 am this morning all the comments were restored. So, yep, they're definitely undeleting content.

They definitely undeleted all mine this morning. Waiting to see if they come back again.

Reddit is also undeleting deleted user content. Now I need to burn my account again. I am not pleased.

Previously, it was a threat, "Give me what I want or I'll shoot the economy" Right now it's not clear if McCarthy and the MAGA wing understand what that means.

About the time you fake a coup to clean house, you start getting the despot label bandied about. That, the ethnic cleansing, the antidemocratic reforms, the arresting and forcing out critics and opponents. Dude's not the absolute bot

I like that, "Changing the resolution works consistently but is boring, why do people do that when scalers work 90% of the time for apps I use?" Methinks I'll keep forcing 720p to spare my terrible eyes the trouble.

After half a day someone managed to explain to him he'd put himself on the hook for 100 million bucks, yes.

I've seen two or three bursts of the porn popping through, mostly communities moving on to Mastodon from twitter that get pretty immediately defederated / blocked.

Twitter was definitely better at keeping the weird porn siloed off the front pages, but this is a weird thing to twig on given the massive number of commissioned "art" collectives drawing naked fox people on twitter?

It is by all accounts an excellent BS engine, it reminds me of interacting with scam artists mostly - which makes sense, most of those people use the same persistence / confidence strategy to get people to behave against their best int

Wow, I missed that they were still going with the "Draft" lie on first read. Welp, ship had already sailed, but I'm just going to guess the horror-show will be back in 6 to 12 months.

Well, this whole thing started with them playing silly games to revoke an irrevocable license. So... well, I'm not going to be buying anything new from WotC any time soon. I'd say anything from Hasbro, but that's such a big

This would hold more water if they weren't also trying to vault or bury a bunch of their other animated content, and sell off their back catalog for easy money.

The EPA was going to ban them, so everyone who still used one got very vocal, along with about a third of the state of Maine.

There is something bizarre about the eggs selling for $9 for 18 in farm country.

So long as they're federated, you'll see their replies.

Exposing functionality by dinking around with css and templating is pretty much every 'improvement' so far, so why would this be different.

Raining Buckets is definitely still in use in America, and shows up enough in old books? Linguistic drift?

All politics aside, he's showing himself to be incompetent in really surprising ways. This whole time he's been trading on his personal brand of futurism and technical acumen, and this Twitter business lets everyone see behind the

Well, that was a giant pile of sensationalized nothing. Again. I suppose the bigger point to note is, along with all the other right wing internet celebrities Elon's been talking to we get to see Taibbi's silliness boosted. Next

Was that a meta-cult induction. Because I think I just read the Penn and Teller version of a cult induction? Neat.

Musk has been running around being the Internet's favorite clown for the last ~10 days and is causing massive disruption. Mastodon is the twitter competitor, and as a federated product has a bunch of independent uncoordinated cheerlea
