If you want to punish Musk in a meaningful way, then once the fine has been paid in full, the countdown can start. Once the same amount of time that elapsed between Twitter’s first noncompliance and the fine’s check cleared, then Twitter should be allowed back online. There will always be money to pay fines but they’ll never get the time back. Other companies will take note.

Ah, thanks. I missed that. I guess I need to update my “all these brands are really all owned by XYZ” chart again.

I don’t usually want to open LinkedIn at all. I wonder if they paid MS for the shortcut?

When googling something, append -site:reddit.com

That’s such a weird passage. I can’t be understanding this correctly. God tells David to count the people. David sends his generals to count the people. They report the count back to David, who apologizes and says he sinned for doing what God told him to do? IDGI

Every day I miss my twitter account less and less. I now wish there was a way I could block twitter content inside news articles and such.

It reminds me of a Texaco gas station.

Weed out all the bots at the same time

They don’t want to do that. That would destroy a significant chunk of their userbase and make X look weaker.

I’m generally a lurker so here. I posted.

I loathe being pushed to an app just because I’m on a mobile device. It’s a huge red flag to me.

A lot of them now just work through third-party houses like govdeals.com.

Reddit is farked.

My autopay discount is $5 and I get about half of that back in rewards points from my credit card. I’m keeping the CC on file and chalking it up to having better protections and an extra 25 days interest-free for $2.50/mo.

They’ve been planning this for a long time. I noticed a while ago that the “stop asking me about the app” preference went away, which was about the time I stopped going to reddit on mobile. My account is deleted now so I hope they got some good results to ignore and do what they wanted anyway.

I never ran across that account but it blows me away that this article is two years old. In a way I hope that the account gets unbanned. I am not sure that kind of personality should have any reason to discover the Lemmyverse. Let it stay Reddit’s problem.

I actually had Nestle in the <> in my original draft but decided I couldn’t be arsed to figure out where they put the accent. Maybe they’ll charge extra for wildcards: “Fuck Nestl?”

The best possible perspective I can come up with is that this is a test. It’s all about increasing their marketability for the IPO. Today they’re filtering “Fuck Spez”, tomorrow they’ll be filtering “Fuck <brandname>”. For a fee, of course, or as a side deal on an ad campaign.
