That's not really a 1:1 comparison. You don't go through any identify verification process, other than "First name Last name." Go on Facebook Marketplace, there are dozens upon dozens of dup accounts solely for the purpo

Hating liberals and hating liberalism are two different things. You can yourself be a liberal and dislike the train you're riding on. I would count myself as one. I think a rational person would argue actions > words. Actions: build

Oh? So you don't see any benefit in an account having to prove its identity, or purchase a blue check with identity? How about bots? You will have to do cartwheels and backflips to convince anyone that someone will be willing to microm

The idea that it would grow for infinity time was the real problem here. We should expect ups in downs in a business. Economics is supposed to work like that.

You clearly have an axe to grind moreso than an actual point. In this community, if you declare someone as a liar, you generally have to provide some proof of that. This isn’t a « my feelings » community. Twitter is literally ruining the wo

Wow. This community isn't what it used to be. Sociopath? Don't you think you should validate that claim? This isn't a reductive Hasan Piker stream.

He said he'd keep it. I don't even know what this gets mentioned so often. He has barely ever talked about it.

This is the stuff of future design. I love it.

Living in Canada during the Convoy was a huge dose of this sentiment expressed in this article. You'd think that most Canadians supported a siege over our borders and capital city - but you'd be wrong. What was being characterized

"Disobey" seems a bit tame of a headline, considering the implications.

The issue with studies like this – is that it applies to the every-man. For most people, a lot of these points are probably true. For others, however, those same detriments show up as positives. For example, maybe cannabis does prolong deci

How fondly people remember a company that totally installed tracking software into browser add-ons.

I don't get this article. Dithering is generally for limited palettes. JPG, PNG do not have limited palettes. This feels like a strawman.

A lot of people think that standing on the constitution is a blocker for all negative possibilities. As we see with the Gabby Petito case, Brian Laundries parents did more harm to their case by pleading their constitutional rights. In other

I do think that communities and social media aren't necessarily the same. Communities have existed before social media. I grew up on CompuServe, which had a few LGBT groups as far back as 1997, and forums chat rooms have been around fo

A lot of data counters what you're trying to put out here. I wish it weren't true, but if you would like, I can point you to studies where you can see how teen suicide in girls and the launch of Instagram, then Snapchat, then TikT

Is this what people want, though? Why wouldn't we push for more open, expressive and semantic languages, instead of trying to dust off older languages because of some abstract warm and fuzzy feeling?

I respect you and what you're trying to do. I think being able to edit a comment after reflection might have helped in this case.

Plainly? The dictionary doesn’t agree with you. Plainly. noun noun: attack; plural noun: attacks an aggressive and violent action against a person or place. "he was killed in an attack on a checkpoint" Plainly, you don’t want me c

I intend to be better. I don't know if asking someone to look at something objectively is exactly "attacking other users." Boosting false business is not acceptable in society. It shouldn't be here. And if that offends y

A lot of things are - but this requires active participation of competitors. Imagine starting a company that allows users to identify homes they like, and then an entire apparatus kicks in to kick the current people out of the house, cancel

Do you think a project, which absolutely requires participation (or at least en acquiesce the existence of this platform), is going to stick around? Do you think Wix is going to be cool with a system built around pulling customers away? If

If they made The Day The World Stood Still today, the aliens wouldn't even mention nukes - they would ask us to get rid of Twitter. Twitter has always been garbage. It makes right wingers think they have freedom of speech, while it des
