Capitalism is a magic system where a relative handful of douchebags screwing everyone over is somehow what’s best for all of society.

Tech folks when a douchebag billionaire announces his latest project.

The difference between a conservative and a neoliberal is that the conservative screws you over with a “fuck you” while the neoliberal does so with a “please and thank you.”

The hardest part of decentralisation is to decentre yourself.

A timely reminder that “punishable by fine” means “legal for the rich.”

If you’re against trans rights, you’re against human rights. Because trans people are human beings and trans rights are human rights. You don’t get to pick and choose who qualifies as human.

#[0] Oh, cool, Jack’s one the best decentralised billionaires. He built Twitter. I’m sure Bluesky will be at least as good if not better.

Seeing some new folks joining the fediverse. Welcome!

A few tips to help get you started here on the right foot:

- Take a moment to edit your profile and add a photo/avatar and bio so we know who you are.

- Make a post and tell us about yourself and don’t forget to add the #[0] tag so people know you’re here.

- Follow folks and talk to them. Be human. (This is a human space, not a corporate one.)

- Don’t hesitate to ask if you’re unsure how something works.

- Have fun :)

“The fact that 4chan became both more hateful and more prominent after 2015 is a feature, not a bug … It was all business.”

Just reminded me of this:

“International Business Machines, and its president Thomas J. Watson, committed genocide by any standard. It was never about the antisemitism. It was never about the National Socialism. It was always about the money. Business was their middle name.”

#[0] May I just suspend that whole server instead? ;)

If you’re intending on paying for Twitter in a few days time, this is the bigot you’ll be supporting financially.

(Please feel free to share with anyone you know who might be planning to do so.)

Billionaires are tumours. Capitalism is cancer.

Today, you can choose not to drive a Tesla if you don’t want Elon Musk, Inc. knowing everywhere you go.

Tomorrow, you might have to limit where you live because you won’t live in a Google Home and reconsider having 20/20 vision again in exchange for the artificial lens company seeing everything you see.

Privacy is not something you can “vote with your wallet” on. We either protect it as a human right or we lose it altogether.
