Poorly designed, high functioning automations
Twitter blocks promotion due to lack of pro-hate crime messaging. “We really need to see the vile amped up moving forward” a Twitter employee mentioned before asking for any loose change and then climbing back into the nearby dumpster/breakroom.
Is that something we can already do or do you mean that as an idea? That’s a neat idea if so. I don’t think a user’s subscription page is locked out, so might be neat to replace the random mag block with newly updated subscribed mags via greasemonkey script or something.
Yeah, I noticed that too. I’m not sure if that’s just due to that being local content and maybe mirroring remote content is slowed down with all the new activity and instances coming online. I also see in user settings a text box for “Featured Magazines” but I can’t find any documentation on what/how that works. I would figure it would prioritize those mags, but I’m not sure of anything yet.
I read their post explaining the decision, but it seems like it is at odds with itself. If your goal is to create a safe space, why are you using a federated service? I understand you have the option to defederate, but at that point why didn’t you just setup a standalone message board. It just feels that their use case doesn’t fit the system.
What kind of absurd drug addiction do you have to have to stay working at Twitter and not leave? I mean, just how massive is your student loan debt to put yourself through that?
