Fuck articles that are a bunch of Twitter links. Anyone who still has a Twitter account frankly deserves the shitshow they are supporting. For the rest of us, it's just screenshots of tweets. I'm glad there was some descriptive text, but stop trying to push people into going to Twitter. Fucking enablers.
The billionaire that sucks profits from half of the internet infrastructure through Microsoft Azure rapes children. I get the point. Fuck Elon. But we've reached the point of nearly all internet infrastructure being owned by billionaire pedophiles. I'd direct the hatred at them and not the people using the infrastructure. We're not defeating this level of garbage by using blue sky links.
Disagree. People bitch and moan about Joe Rogan or whomever platforming bad people and here we are doing the same with bad media. It's rank hypocrisy.
I agree with your don't use twitter stance, but to say using it is on par with having a multi hour friendly chat with some pedo chud and blasting it out to millions of impressionable listeners is hyperbolic at the least
And wheezy has a point 99% of the internet is run on AWS or Azure, defeating that goes beyond stopping the use of a single site, regardless people should stop using it
OOP is not Joe Rogan. You can't "platform" Twitter.
