twitter is going to be shut down. half of reddit is locked or completely unmoderated. the entire first page of google search results are ads. tumblr does not and will never have a functioning search system and their content moderation is 100% automated. youtube only shares ad revenue with people who make snuff films for Youtube Kids. facebook is selling your grandma’s social security number under the table for like $5. web 2.0 is completely dead right
Growing old is mandatory but maturing is unfortunately optional
twitter is broken today 😭 are there any other ways that people search for anthologies to apply to?
might not be broken actually! Might be working as intended!
OH FUCK! okay twitter is dead, that’s amazing. this is a death blow. does he not understand that the platform relies on addictive doom scrolling, and that people actively want to quit but can’t because it activates all the right brain chemicals? this is wonderful for me at least, with Elon’s help I can finally kick this particular addiction.
I honestly think this dude doesn't know how to run a social media sites. I was wondering why my twitter constantly won't updating and decided to go here to check if it's my own issues or others' as well. If people haven't left the site for the facts it's becoming a hot mess of social media sites (yes, I know I still actively using it too), the restrictions maybe the reason it would crash and burn in the future.
“Authors should not be ALLOWED to write about–” you are an anti-intellectual and functionally a conservative
“This book should be taken off of shelves for featuring–” you are an anti-intellectual and functionally a conservative
“Schools shouldn’t teach this book in class because–” you are an anti-intellectual and functionally a conservative
“Nobody actually likes or wants to read classics because they’re–” you are an anti-intellectual and an idiot
“I only read YA fantasy books because every classic novel or work of literary fiction is problematic and features–” you are an anti-intellectual and you are robbing yourself of the full richness of the human experience.
"you are functionally a conservative" is such a good and clarifying insult
Literally right after I saw this post, I saw another post in a discord chat for BOOK EDITORS in which an outspokenly liberal editor talked about how Nabokov should have never been published because he wrote about p*dophiles and described women's bodies in ways that made her uncomfortable. She described his writing as "objectively terrible" and said she wanted to burn his books. And other editors were bringing up classics they didn't like and talking about how they wanted to throw them in the trash. This wasn't like a light "unpopular opinion!" conversation. This was actual book editors talking about how books should be destroyed and censored.
There is something so scary and toxic in global culture right now. The revival of fascism is influencing everyone's mindset and approach to art, regardless of where they fall on the political spectrum.
I see far more books being censored today than when I was a kid. Librarians handed me The Catcher in the Rye, The Sexual Politics of Meat, and Animal Farm when I was literally 8-11. My mom would never have taken a book away from me. I read everything from the Tao Te Ching to the Qur'an to atheist texts under my desk at school. Teachers thought nothing of it or encouraged it. Books seemed universally acknowledged as sacrosanct to me.
Now I can't find any adults who don't hesitate or want to make exceptions when it comes to censorship. Even the most liberal social activist librarians I know go, "well except for book X..."
Functionally conservative. It's so important to have the language to express that.
Thank you for this addition!
And, following up on the previous post …
“This makes me uncomfortable” is NOT a valid reason for censorship
These fucking book editors should remove themselves from the profession ASAP 😡
The only reason a book should be removed, the ONLY reason, is “we are keeping it in the restricted section for research because its only intended function is to cause harm.”
And to be clear, when I say this, I’m talking about shit like To Train Up A Child and The Protocols of Zion. One is a text responsible for the deaths of multiple children because it’s an abuse how-to, and the other is entirely fabricated “protocols” from a group that never actually existed but is claimed to represent all Jews, and it’s basically one long antisemitic screed.
And even these should be available. Just. Not where they’re gonna be used to start a white supremacist cult.
what the everloving fuck
That's kinda expected of him tho, dude's has been making shitty updates to the site since he taking over twitter. Since they make the verification checkmarks as something people can buy he would try to forced unverified accs to have much less usage than the paid verified accs, it's just about time and it's apparently now. If people are desperate enough, they would just pay but for the ones who don't I think the site would have massive lose of users and just crashed on it's own.
Tragedy! You set out to read a negative review of a piece of media you dislike, only to find that the critic is being completely unfair to it and making a bunch of bad, unsupportable arguments.
#yeah. this is actually the worst#because if someone likes something for the wrong reasons and you like it too you can just sort of shrug off their opinion#but if they dislike it in a way that's unfair it's actually infuriating because now you've been put in the position#of defending this absolute dogshit piece of media - even if only in your own head - against their unreasonable complaints#it's the exact opposite of catharsis
Me: “Disney live action remakes are soulless cash grabs that deny the original writers and artists the credit they deserve” Some fucking chud: “Exactly! They never should have started wokeifying all their movies” Me:
There are so many movies and series that have many things to be criticized but some asshole who don't like woke or progessive shits thought it's a space for them to complaining about shits. My guy, doesn't matter where you put your shitty opionions it's still gonna be shits. Keep it in your own toxic swamp of people who thought the same as you and don't bring it to the legitimate comunity of people who genuinely just want to criticized the movies or series because they can do better with the storyline or the technical things related to them.
my addition
I too made an addition
man, the way some of the reddit refugees talk about moving to tumblr is kinda depressing; they're saying stuff like "No one has belittled me on tumblr yet" and "people actually talk to me here."
We've got to rehabilitate these users so that they can see what it's like to have a non-hostile internet experience.
To be fair, the users on tumblr aren't the best people out there on the internet. I've argued with some people that got seriously heated here, but compared to reddit it's pretty tame. It's not the best site to have positive interactions with others, but we still can interact with each other without had to make them be super negative even with the arguments they would have.
"You can't be a lurker on tumblr." Yes, you absolutely can. I've been quietly reblogging things since 2014 and I haven't interacted with anyone in years.
my four “modes” of blogging:
1. active mode: i’m present. absorbing and “feeling” the dashboard. interacting with people in real time. create new posts.
2. drone mode: no emotion. my mind is detached. i’m reblogging. not much interaction.
3. scout mode: reading and liking posts. don’t make any noise (no posting).
4. inactive mode: hiatus
