Notice he hasn't gotten any bans since coming out as trans and changing his name to Fagatha? They truly are a protected class.

The fact you went to those websites proves you don't need Twitter. Checkmate, lib Nazi.

idk how someone can think leftists and conservatives are equally bad when leftists hardly wield any real power in America.  
 
they're just extremely fucking annoying.

Lol. Absolutely zero of my really good dev colleagues like relying on AI for prod work. Only the shitty ones use it like a crutch and have no idea wtf is happening.

 User Banned (2 Weeks): Inflammatory Generalization; History of Hostility and Trolling

A reminder that Florida has more people that voted for Harris than many state's whole population.

It's government is a hellhole, but it's a massive and diverse state.

This is a dumbass take.

Ron DeSantis has been your governer since 2019. Every federal vote since 2016 has been deeper and deeper red. I think there's zero argument from me that good people shouldn't be hurt. But Floridians seem to be fine with voting against their own interests.

 User Banned (5 Days): Inflammatory accusations towards another member

I've really enjoyed playing Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls Oblivion, and Doom the Dark Ages on Xbox Game Pass, thanks!

Of course you are. It clearly doesn't matter to you that Microsoft bought those publishers to make gamepass "Netflix of gaming". So it seems as long as you have your gamepass it doesn't matter if thousands of people lose their jobs.

Your comments are very tone deaf and insensitive.

I support anything that gets us an immortal R'as Al Ghul, live action Clayface, Manbat, Killer Croc, etc. They need to get weird with it. If it wasn't too weird for a kid's cartoon in the 90s, it shouldn't be too weird for live action.

Are his twitch intentions new? Will be interesting to see Jeff Marvel in real time.

Earlier this year he announced that he was no longer going to be posting on Twitter other than announcements for his major new content coming. Back in April he added to his profile that he would start streaming on Twitch in May. A while later he changed it to say "next week!" which would be in June. Two weeks after that to say "this week!" which it has said since.

He has yet to stream even once. He has never stopped posting on Twitter, especially replying to chuds.

He also still pays for Twitter but hides the blue check.

Blueballs meltdown posts incoming in 3...2...1...

One man's "conspiracy theorising" is another they/thems "dismissing concerns"...

[Boredfrom]

That was actually great. It was darker than I expected. Its going to be hilarious as the pro genocide crowd will hate this movie....but will have to pretend as to the reasons why.

You think Israel is the only asshole Middle East government that the U.S. supports? You think this is the first time that cape stories have used undetermined Middle East or East Asian country to do superficial political commentary? Do you think this is the first time a supervillain wants to conquer a country?

white liberals please continue to self exile to Bluesky.

Now Bluesky seems dead in the UK because of age verification laws, I understand being for anonymity on the web but they seem to be more upset that they can't groom "educate" children. Weird.

First post

Hoo boy, people on my feed are not happy about this.

Can't say I'm crazy about it either -- only one road this anti-porn "protect the children!" fearmongering goes down.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

Porn hurts women. Simple as. 

[kaleidoscopium]

The other thing is that there's large ecosystems built around these porn sites. This is straight up a near apocalyptic event for sex workers. I do worry for them.

Apocalyptic event for sex workers

Won't somebody think of the online whores?

Very few people knew about this - I only knew it existed because a small forum I go on had to go completely private to avoid this shit.

And what type of private small forum is it?

[kaleidoscopium]

Spoiler: long post in spanish (click to show)(click to hide)

Bueno... vamos a escribir un post largo/diatriba porque... bueno, algo cansado de estar viendo gente que se cree mejor que otra por tener privilegios de primer mundo. Escribo en español porque 1) puedo expresarme mucho mejor al ser mi lengua madre, 2) me da pereza escribir en ingles en ocasiones como esta y 3) si no es capaz de traducir por su cuenta, se nota que solo viene a postear aquí solo por sentirse bien.

Comencemos con los que piden ejemplos, perfectamente puedo colocar varios, pero me quedo con 2-3 recientes:

1. El mes pasado hubo un movimiento telurico cerca a Bogotá (capital de Colombia, donde vivo). Una de las formas para averiguar datos del sismo una vez que pasa es usando la pagina del sistema del Servicio Geologico Colombiano, pero como es de esperar, la cantidad de gente que trata de acceder a la pagina web de la entidad es tanta, que la pagina simplemente se cae por minutos (o hasta horas en algunas situaciones). ¿En donde más informa el SGC sobre sismos? Twitter, así la población general puede compartir datos sin que se caiga y hacerse una idea de cosas que puede hacer o ayudar. Bajo la estúpida lógica que pintan varios personajes de ERA, ¿tengo que considerar a las personas que utilizan el servicio tanto para informar como para ser informados como apoyantes a la causa Nazi? Obviamente no.

2. Desafortunadamente en mi país (Colombia) tenemos un conflicto armado interno de larga data, mucha gente que no esta en las principales ciudades o cascos urbanos no tienen acceso a dispositivos, y los pocos que si tienen, pues para poder ser vistos (ya sea para difundir un emprendimiento local, informar a la comunidad, o para mostrar una noticia de un ataque en desarrollo) utilizan los medios de difusión más concurridos, entre los cuales esta Twitter. Nuevamente, bajo la estúpida lógica que pintan varios personajes de ERA, ¿tengo que considerar a esas personas que utilizan el servicio tanto para informar como para ser informados como apoyantes a la causa Nazi? Obviamente no.

3. Muchos de los portales de noticias de nuestro país están usando el modelo de paywall para acceder a su contenido. Ahora, considerando que adicional, dichos medios de comunicación tradicionales (ya sea por radio, televisión o directamente por internet) siempre han apoyado a sectores conservadores o de derecha/ultraderecha, las personas que tienen posiciones de izquierda recurren a las redes sociales para poder transmitir sus opiniones para que lleguen a la mayor cantidad de personas, dentro de las cuales están Facebook o Twitter. Una vez más, bajo la estúpida lógica que pintan varios personajes de ERA, ¿tengo que considerar a estas personas, que utilizan el servicio para difundir sus posiciones y conseguir que más personas traten de cambiar sus ideologías o visiones del mundo, como apoyantes a la causa Nazi? Obviamente no.

Ahora, tomando mi experiencia personal, soy una persona que le gusta mucho leer e informarse de muchas cosas que pasan tanto en mi país (en todos los contextos) como en otras partes del mundo ya que eso me ayuda a tener una visión mucho más grande, me da acceso a vivencias y posturas que no podría encontrar en donde vivo y para ello, busco información de todos los lados que pueda entre los cuales está Twitter, de ahí que después pueda analizarla, hacerme una idea y poder tomar mis decisiones. Según ERA, ¿con mis acciones se me acusa de ser apoyante a la causa Nazi por usar Twitter, aun cuando ni me conoce de carne y hueso, ni sabe que he hecho, ni cual es mi ideología, ni absolutamente nada?

Considero que es muy hipócrita de mi parte estar diciéndole a los demás que son Nazis o que apoyan la causa Nazi por usar una red social, cuando lastimosamente mi vida esta inundada de elementos hechos por empresas y/o conglomerados que violan los derechos humanos en todas partes del mundo, desde el computador donde estoy escribiendo, el software que uso para escribir este post, el celular que uso para comunicarme con mis amigos/familiares, la ropa con la que me visto, la comida que como, la casa donde vivo, etc. La única forma real de no apoyar a todas estas empresas, es deshaciéndome de todo esto, dejar mi casa, irme a una montaña y vivir como ermitaño. Pero pues para efectos prácticos es una soberana estupidez, antes lo que hago es aislarme del mundo y que los grupos dominantes sigan haciendo lo que se les venga en gana.

Desafortunadamente ninguno de los servicios alternativos que tanto cacarean en ERA, no han tenido una acogida con la cual decir que el publico general pueda migrar de manera fácil y efectiva.

    Threads, es una red parte de Meta, otra red social controlada por un tipo que tiene ideologías de derecha/ultraderecha pero que a diferencia de Musk y Twitter, lo hace de manera más solapada, el contenido son bots, agregadores de contenido que ya tienen en Twitter, influencers de Instagram que creyeron que sus mismas tácticas iban a funcionar. Hay poca o nula interacción.
    Bluesky ha tomado algo de fuerza solo para la gente de habla inglesa (y algunos que hablan portugués cuando Brasil bloqueo Twitter en Brasil) pero para el resto de idiomas, el contenido es simplemente bots y agregadores de contenido que ya tienen en Twitter, hay poca o nula interacción.
    Mastodon con su red federativa descentralizada es aun más difuso y nebuloso donde menos se tiene el control para buscar información.

Si esa es mi opinion de las alternativas como alguien que tiene un dominio básico/decente sobre redes sociales, ahora imagínese para la gran mayoría de la población que normalmente sigue la corriente y se queda en las redes sociales de preferencia (Facebook y Twitter).

Y es aquí donde muchos de los los que postean aquí en ERA ni siquiera se toman el tiempo para pensar de manera razonable. Al ser una comunidad principalmente estadounidense y/o de lengua inglesa, tienen DEMASIADAS falencias en su visión del mundo y les importa cinco la realidad de los demás. Están en una burbuja tan pequeña que creen que solo su posición o su visión del mundo es la correcta y el resto es una mano de idiotas que siguen la corriente. No más, un poco más adelante vean como han tratado a las personas que hablaron sobre Japon (un pais donde Twitter esta basicamente arraigado a la cultura en muchos aspectos) como razón por la cual siguen en Twitter y en su egocentrismo por quedar como persona correcta de mejor moral, menosprecian y en cierta forma "humillan" con mensajes como "Ah, es que yo puedo encontrar desde mi comodidad la información que solo a mi me importa en otro lado, entonces usted es una basura por no buscar en otras partes su información" (aun cuando a veces esa información solo la encuentra en Twitter). Y esto no es solamente de este tema, esta misma logica se presenta con muchos otros temas sensibles (caso Israel/Palestina) o politicos (en ejemplo reciente, la llorada que pegaron varios usuarios estadounidenses por aca por la cantidad ingente de noticias politicas estadounidenses porque "no quiero leer sobre la realidad de mi pais en ERA porque me siento mal, hay que filtrarla/ocultarla").

https://www.resetera.com/threads/what-will-it-take-to-get-you-off-twitter.1239987/page-7#post-142532250

Basically goes into why Spanish speaking users like him use twitter, and chastises Era for virtue signaling with banning Twitter links and attacking people for still using it. Would be banned if this was in English though which is extra funny, see if he gets caught

Somehow I suspect sex workers will continue to be able to do "real work" even if people who can't pay for anything online can't access all of Bluesky.

[benji]

Yep, no way is this government not going to use this as an excuse to attack trans people and the LGBTQ+ as a whole. And you're right, this isn't protecting anyone, especially kids. If you actually want to protect kids then educate them with better sex education, better knowledge with how to use the internet safely, to not to be a bigoted piece of shit etc. This just means they'll move to less protected stuff.

It infuriates me because this is just Video Nasty level of nonsense.

...how?

Ashamed to say I voted for this Labour Party. Never again unless there's SERIOUS change

That'll show em!

This guy might know:

The act is a shitshow. It's already caused one forum I use to shut down and I know at least another one that is thinking about it.

[kaleidoscopium]

It impacts basically every porn site as well and dating apps like Grindr

Does he think that's a bad thing....?

[benji]

These bills aren't about protecting kids.

They're lobbied for by companies who want to store all that user data.

idv providers readying to sell all that data

Yup this is why I don't want to give my data to these sites.

I love how they think any and every data is super valuable. Millions of simple hashes? Oh yeah, everybody wants large databases of that! Think of the immense value of having a big list of a bunch of random numbers!

Bluesky and every other site that would have to comply with this already has all that data they're worried about someone having. The middle man and UK government's data would be worthless to everyone.

[benji]

It's literally addiction. No one will leave no matter what happens there. They could be making rallies asking for the death of certain races there and people would still use it to see memes, artists and other really necessary things.

Not only is this guy very late to Twitter he's very late to Bluesky and ResetEra.
