NPRs meltdown was one thing, but this is something else entirely.
How can an organization pretend that state funding doesn't color editorial and coverage choices?

An entire generation will suffer for what their influencer and OF parents did for a few minutes of internet fame.

And money.
Also, only the bullied kid is suffering. The bullies are probably having a lot of fun.

Re: Social Media: The God That Failed
We’re pretty careful about what we put online regarding our kid. An occasional photo on the socials for extended family, but otherwise nothing. Very aware that it’ll all be there forever.Bi_3 wrote:True, but the average take on only fans is $180/month.JuanHamm wrote:Bi_3 wrote:An entire generation will suffer for what their influencer and OF parents did for a few minutes of internet fame

Reminds me of this:
I was kinda pissed when my sister threw up a video of my kid dancing with her kids on her kids’ YouTube channel. Decided not to make a thing of it unless it happens again.

Re: Social Media: The God That Failed
They are limiting the number of tweets per day users can view and blocking those not signed in on Twitter. Mastodon apparently thinks this is their chance. Is Twitter going to walk this back or become another Instagram/ walled garden? Elon must be rather worried about being able to monetize Twitter so he can pay back his investors.

Re: Social Media: The God That Failed
How long is an episode of Tucker's Twitter show? I don't like watching videos over a couple of minutes on my phone. Is there a way to watch his show on a tv?

Twitter doesn’t only exist on phones. There are apps everywhere, and you can also read it in a browser.

Threads seems to be unraveling and may go extinct like the mastodons. The truth is there’s blue sky ahead Twitter competitors is seems.
