If only we can get the Zuck to bankrupt facebook quicker.

Not that I love Facebook, but it has proven to be useful to me. I have often gotten stuff sorted out with companies through Facebook. Also helps me connect with some local communities that don't have a presence elsewhere online.

Reddit and Discord have far more sustainable business models and you don't get pushed into communities you don't want to be part of in the service of more ad revenue.

Reddit and Discord don't have groups for the area I live in. Neither do any of the companies I interact with. Facebook does. And while "Meta" might take a hit because of Zuckerberg's obsession with the Metaverse, I think Facebook itself is probably doing fine.

Weird how with free speech people are held accountable to what they disseminate.

But holding people accountable for what they say is exactly what all those who used to complain about Twitter didn't like. It's what they hoped Musk would do away with.

What you really want in a technology company is employees who suck up to the boss. I'm sure that's the best way to get good quality. When the product implodes at least you and the boss can proudly say you were appropriately sycophantic, which is what really counts when building products.

For supposedly smart people, they don't seem to know the difference between free speech and not knowing when to STFU.

The platform promotes free speech. Their posts have not been deleted. But free speech doesn't come without consequences especially when it's speaking against the hand that feeds you...

You can't make assumptions based on that. There could be tons of services behind that call.

I don't think you get it. There's only one API call from the client (in this case Android). The server is batching. Why could he not see where the guy was going by getting a CDN in India if that's his main gripe.

Remind me of that camp chief in Schindler's List who went around just randomly getting rid of people.

Yes, please compare him to Amon Geoth....


Thinning out an organisation is not the same as running a concentration camp
