  1. Lol surelly it has nothing to do with musks debts to Google Cloud 😂

  2. Characterizing these people as gamers is very reductive and innacurate. Just because someone is on discord doesn't mean they are primarily gamers. People interested in these documents can be heavily interested in popular politcs more so than on games. It's not like gamers are in mass scouring for classified documents as part of a gaming related matter or gaming related interest.

  3. Because many of these substances have been demonized but they do have benefits. Creativity especially is incredibly important. Personally it helps me with decision making, to break out of patterns of thinking and consider a broader spectrum of possibilities. That helps me with my work and with my personal/entrepreneurial projects.

  4. Somehow it's gotten even worse 💀

  5. I've seen political discussions, and they are simply higher quality than those I see on Twitter rampant with crazy conspiracies/disinformation and negativity where people are just shouting bs at eachother (which is a pretty low bar). Threads hasn't replaced my need fora centralized source of quick updates regarding services that I use or am interested in. If a significant part of industry would move their announcements over to threads I would probably just not use twitter.

  6.  @Devin7Eleven  People generally don't want lies and hatred to be spread. Hate speach and calls to violence are literally illegal. That doesn't make for a bubble, as topics and awareness of them is still openly discussed simply without endorsing them. In fact moderation seems to prevent bubbles, and lack of it has helped them grow.
    13
  7. This is one of the few cases where meta didn't completely suck. Unlike openai, they released their models so people could experiment with them and use then offline (privately), and modify them for their own use cases.
    12
  8. More like "I enjoy scrolling through people's posts, I can't do it here and that's anoying, so I'll do it somewhere else".
    11
  9. Nah, discord is one single company, and its "servers" are simply isolated messaging groups. Mastodon is run by any number of randos, and the servers are actual servers (content receivers and emitters) and all communicate with eachother. People have been comparing it with email, which makes for a good analogy.
    8
  10.  @EventualRoads  Twitter uses Google Cloud servers, and Musk is late to pay for it
    8
  11. True. That's a legitimate issue. Mastodon allows for moderation and endorses servers that are good examples of moderation, it just happens to be optional.
    8
  12.  @ASK-ko9qx  Minutes ago you were saying "sounds like" and you were clueless. And here you are at it again lol

  13. This was a mess. Google could have much better just by having a better presentation, with some awe inspiring ideas and basic fact checking. The error itself is normal, these AIs are known to be error prone, so why post a screenshot that is not fact checked.... what a mistake. Chatgpt gets things wrong lots of times too. Just yesterday it was telling me that trees are non-living organisms. I asked it to clarify and it went on to say trees don't grow or reproduce. These tools are already very helpful regardless of not being perfect and they are getting better very fast... Google should have focused on that.

  14.  @jrallday  it's not cause they don't have the brains to do it, it's that there are a million other things they rather do than go through hoops just to sign up for some app.
    6
  15. 23.6 million active users, or about 22% of Twitter’s audience. So that's roughly a fifth of Twitter's active users, with roughly a fifth of its users.
    6
  16. English subtitles are auto-generated and and are available. Just press the "cc" button 👍
    6
  17. Not really, rampant bs and misinformation are pretty off-putting, some cleanup is in order.
    6
  18.  @segfault-  the sheer amount of people saying "it's like discord" cause they hear "servers". It does not inspire confidence that people are capable of voting with proper understanding... scary stuff.
    5
  19. Just googled it, apparently there is no other case like it. That puts it at 1 to 30 million (in the US alone, let alone worldwide), and it's worth noting this person consumed a very high amount of a potent halucinogen while also consuming alcohol, and had a history of concussions and depression. So this is an incredibly unlikely occurrence under pretty extreme circumstances, contracting with the near totality of cases where it is harmless. Is driving a car recreationally worth it, even if it is more dangerous than this? Most people seem to implicitly say yes and hardly pay any mind to unlikely events.
    5
  20. This does not affect bots lol Industrial scale scraping uses rotating ips to get past these limits. Most likely this has to do with Twitter not being able to pay its bills to Google Cloud.
    5
  21. It's nearly on pair with Twitter now. The initial numbers were due to hype. Lol nearly 2.5x the active users per user as Twitter. That level was obviously unsustainable.
    5
  22. That is silly, AI improves over time... eventually it will be better than the best human.

  23. ​ @TaataGeo  of course they are.

  24.  @kuwashi  From what I have seen it just started with off the charts interest and then went back to regular values

  26. ​ @Semper_Iratus  Random people with some basic guidelines, who check the sources for the thousands that just click share without a second thought....

  27.  @milhouse7145  they do both

  28. Just don't send dms. Use it as it as public publishing platform.

  29. A vr headset might break some norms for Apple, but it's hardly groundbreaking or experimental, these devices have been in the market for around a decade, and are now pretty much mainstream (while not yet as big as screen based gaming). Apple is behind the curve.

  30.  @TomNook.  True, that does not make a conspiracy. Different viewpoints is perfectly fine. I see them removed when there is blatant misinformation or certain "remarks" about lgbt or other minorities.

  31. People should not be going to jail over this, that's what is wrong. Saying these approaches are not required is not really an argument to keep people in jail over this. And while it can be said that these drugs are not necessary, they do produce demonstrable increases in creativity and in ability to process trauma. No use denying there can be benefits either.
    4
  32. It's not just them, we all are. The question is how we are going to transition to higher and higher percentage of automation of labor without high and higher percentage of people struggling to survive. I'm all in favor of my work being done by robots. I just still want a share of the things being produced. Considering productivity should at the very least stay constant, I see no reason to not redistribute the products of labor so that everyone can have an increasingly higher standard of living. It would be massively silly to say that a smaller and smaller percentage of the population should own everything and that others should just be left homeless. Now convince a republican of this.... 😂 yeah we're doomed.
    4
  33. This is baffling to me. Most of us dislike our jobs. Anyone given the chance to be replaced in their job by a robot should be jumping in excitement! What we do not want is to stop getting our share of the products of this work. That is what we need to focus on: how to automate labor while keeping and improving peoples standard of living. That should be the goal...

  34.  @dickriggles942  Ah yes, ad hominem. Next time try leveraging actual criticism.
    4
  35. I think it will be popular, it doesn't need politicians in it to be popular. Indeed many people use Twitter to follow politics and status updates channels (like for games). But many people use it for ranting about stuff, or to promote products of their work or hobby, and celebrities are just looking to reach an audience. So it can succeed without replacing Twitter. I think it will only replace Twitter if it has so much success that it would be silly to use Twitter or if Twitter continues to have problems and drive their users away.
    3
  36.  @weird-guy  Transportation companies will not find it stupid to replace human drivers with AI to increase efficiency and productivity. Same goes for most other sectors.
    3
  37. And yet that's exactly how it's been working all this time. It's been increasing in value AND still being spent.
    3
  38. That is a funny quip, but false.
    3
  39. Social media (which YouTube also is), has a lot of trash. But your use determines if all you see is trash or if you get some actual utility out of it. The people I know often do use Twitter to receive quick status updates on services they use. I do the same. (If threads fills the same purpose it's all the same to me.)
    3
  40. No one is saying they are not natural. Natural does not mean safe nor good. There is a case to be made for these drugs, it's silly to really on fallacies to defend that.
    3
  41.  @dickriggles942  When you claim that I'm not the brightest, but then you can't grasp what I'm saying. Obviously what I am saying is that there will have to be a big change in how the economy is organized, and that is the fundamental problem that these strikes do not address. Hopefully not everyone will be as blind as to insist on an economic collapse when the production capability will be the highest it has ever been. (Moreover then this kind of problem of allocation of resources is something AI is suitable for...) You're old but also born yesterday that you somehow haven't seen the incredible progress that's unfolded no matter what timescale you're looking at. And yet you can't see anything past how things currently work? That's 0 foresight.

  42. Brand awareness. It's not about an immediate buy its about associating a particular brand with a particular product so your more likely to buy it from that brand. Or associating a particular product with a particular situation or emotion, so you will remember "I could use this product in this situation". These ads are heavily researched. Conversions rates are compared, average spending is compared... this is a very hot topic that companies who deal directly with customers are very interested in. They are not wasting their money, they are counting the dollars it takes them to acquire a new customer and to turn a customer into a repeat one.

  43. Nah, discord is one single company, and its "servers" are simply isolated messaging groups.

  44. Not at all, discord is one single company, and its "servers" are simply isolated messaging groups.

  47. It is an alternative to twitter, currently the one holding the highest number of users after twitter itself.

  49. Why does it sound suspicious?
    3
  50. Second life and roblox? That's the talk of a person who has no experience with vr. Apps like vrchat and and recroom is what they are trying to emulate. They've had consistent growth even without advertising and have incredibly passionate userbases. Meta's stock is already pretty beat down pricing in the uncertainty and the negativity, if they manage to attract kids (and high quality worlds + 2d access for everyone are good steps to turn things around), they will add an incredible business to their hardware business (segment leader), and their vr store business (segment leader) and to their old social media business. I would not bet against them. Being the leader in an industry with extreme potential can pay off extremely well.

  51. Reddit runs the servers. People just get a space they can moderate. Here, randos run the servers, and you can run your own and no one can moderate you. Literally nothing like reddit other than it being a social media app lol

  53. If you don't like the many servers in every continent, you can still host your own.

  54.  @steven.events  they are in the fact that they are decentralized, rather than owned by a person or company.

  55. Young people love this, they just end up in the competition cause they have better products.
    2
  56. Did you try a different server?
    2
  57. Users have better options, unless meta invests in graphics. Graphics is basically the only edge the competition has.
    2
  58.  @graymars1097  Exactly. Social vr is quite different from regular games. Similar platforms like vrchat and recroom grow consistently without advertising and without the backing of a massive corporation. Meta just needs to give users a good enough experience that users won't run towards the competition, and that non-users will think "I would try it once just to see what it's really like". If you look for a somewhat polished vrchat video (like "Best Places to see in VRCHAT"), you'll see something much more appealing than meta's "horizon worlds" (god even the name needs improvement...).

  59. Also Musk himself develops AI in his companies.
    2
  60. ​ @robotman011  true, I'd love to have something like thus confortable enough to wear and use as a replacement for my computer and phone.
    2
  61. It'd not a toy, it's a computer. You can do with it the same things you can do with other computers. Other computers are not usually chucked aside after a week cause people don't know what to do with them.
    2
  62. Not sponsored content
    2
  63. What a time to be aliiiive 🤣
    2
  64. Probably didn't intend to release it at this stage. Later would likely integrate into their products as they keep doing with their ai tech. I think it's understandable when these models can get things deeply wrong, which as seen can reflect badly on the company.
    2
  65. Nope. Same as it is not Twitter. Reddit runs the servers. Twitter runs the servers. Users run the servers with Mastodon. Reddit says what is allowed on the platform. Twitter says what's is allowed on the platform. You say what is allowed for you in Mastodon. Reddit can ban you. Twitter can ban you. Mastodon can't ban you.
    2
  66. ​ @JenniferA886  Yeah, announcements from services I'm interested in due to my work. I haven't seen a mass migration yet, but I hope there might be once companies see the landscape becoming more well defined.
    2
  67. With the increase of users, also comes an increase on users willing to host servers.
    2
  68. No, it's not. Chatgpt gets things wrong lots of times too. Just yesterday it was telling me that trees are non-living organisms. I asked it to clarify and it went on to say trees don't grow or reproduce. These tools are already very helpful regardless of not being perfect and they are getting better very fast...

  69. Decentralization is often promoted by people on the right.
    2
  70. Not being censored at all, if you are you probably are spreading misinformation/ vilifying some minority.
    2
  71. People were looking for an alternative, just waiting to jump ship.
    2
  72. Thing is now many people are dissatisfied at the whole thing.
    2
  73. It's supposed to be public. There are basically no private messages there.
    2
  74.  @FutureCommentary1  It's even more similar to Twitter than Reddit. So how does it differ from Twitter? It's decentralized: you determine the moderation policies rather than a company, and you cannot be banned no matter what you say. These matters are closely related to who owns the platform, and that's why it has increased in popularity since Elon took over Twitter.

  75.  @sterlingmarshel6299  tell that to the many thousands of people getting arrested for possession in texas

  76. I do wonder what she is working on. A couple days ago she was interviewed in the field, so she does seem to be working.
    2
  77. You are not bound to servers, you can easily move your data and followers to any server you want.
    2
  78. Those who are already rich don't usually gamble significant amounts on long shots. It's mostly technology savvy people and those who having little are risking their savings in hopes of high gains over an uncertain outcome. Contrary to the rich being the most interested in this, it has been poorer populations that have been more willing to use this currency when their country's currency is too unreliable. And one of its potential use cases is supposed to be providing financial services to the impoverished. In sum there's there's lot more than just money replacements, there's a whole host of services being developed. Also
    2
  79. But it can change and you can't no control over that. Mastodon is open source and you can host your own.
    2
  80. They literally have the biggest social networks, that's hardly being "dead". They did seem to achieve market saturation, and that's the oposite of being dead lol
    2
  81.  @TsarFrancisDrake  Mastodon allows people to join communities based on their own interests. So only people looking for political stuff will find it filling up their stream.
    2
  82. Except reddit is a owned by a single entity. It's the same as saying "sooo twitter". Decentralized Twitter....
    2
  83. Nah, discord is one single company, and its "servers" are simply isolated messaging groups. Reddit is again a single company. You might as well say this is like Twitter, but then you're missing the point that it's a decentralized Twitter... Mastodon is run by any number of randos, and the servers are actual servers (content receivers and emitters) and all communicate with eachother. People have been comparing it with email, which makes for a good analogy.

  86. It's basivally nothing like discord lol
    2
  87. It's the same, these people like many others are just not caught. The issue is when in certain districts the police use minor drug charges to target and harass people and to arrest to investigate and search in circumstances that would otherwise not be permitted.
    2
  88.  @nicolasanelka1907  Oh, that's true. I don't like subtitles word by word. Not sure why they do that.
    2
  89.  @greyghost2492  Much more than just "some" and many other countries around the world also have them. Surprisingly (or maybe not), the USA only makes speech illegal when it calls for violence. International online platforms generally abide by the common rules so as to avoid too much complexity.

  93. And that's why anyone drinks alcoholic beverages, because they are addicts.

  94. But that's owned by meta, which is a big no-no for many people.

  101.  @isaacsspace404  That dude can be you yourself, if you don't trust others. Or you can pick a well known server in your country. Or you can rent easy hosting solution from a company that can also be held accountable. All that, while having much more power than you would have against a tech giant (both in decision making and in economic power reflected in the ability to go to court and have a fair fight).

  102. It's an app to make public posts lmao

  103. Not really. Reddit runs the servers. Twitter runs the servers. Users run the servers with Mastodon. Reddit says what is allowed on the platform. Twitter says what's is allowed on the platform.

  106. Cleaning up? He was supposedly a "free speech absolutist", meaning she's just gonna not do anything. In fact what he's doing is firing a bunch of people, then rehiring them cause they are necessary, then selling the blue checkmark then adding a grey checkmark because the blue had a purpose, then going back again... its a shitshow. The guy is clueless, doesn't know what he's doing.

  107.  @elizabethhurtado2829  elites? Its not just the elites. Workers do it too. People trying to improve their life, to increase their abilities to aid them in some effort they are undertaking. Not sure what any of this has to do with your kids. Most likely it has nothing to do with them, I suppose you are simply worried because maybe your kids for some unrelated reason have used drugs or been affected by someone who does. Hardly anything to do with people trying to increase their productivity in a generally responsible way. In any case, sorry to hear you and your family have had trouble.

  110. Musks free speech claims were lies. Journalists getting banned vs not. Rampant misinformation vs some amount of cleanup. Basic rules vs whims of a billionaire.

  111. I was going to say no, and that they would not need to replace her voice with AI, that it doesn't male sense. But... I listened to it again. And... yes it does sound different and maybe it is AI. It makes no sense to me, but yes, it does seem like AI.

  112. ​ @JojoLannister because that information has been mishandled for purposes that the users did not consent to and used to influence elections, such as by tailoring contradictory promises to different target groups.

  116.  @ASK-ko9qx  yes you can have clueless opinions about stuff...
    1
  117. That is purelly false. There are scams performed with recourse to crypto. Crypto itself is an actual technology. Moreover a fully open and transparent technology.
    1
  118.  @madhavyu  crypto is a real technology, whether you find it useful or not doesn't make it a scam.
    1
  119.  @madhavyu  But crypto have kept their value for over a decade. Doesn't look at all like a pump and dump, it looks like a value that has been sustainable and companies have thrived around it.
    1
  120.  @madhavyu  Pump and dump is a fraud. Bubbles are an organic market behavior. Saying crypto is a pump and dump is just false, saying the prices are too high for what it's worth is possibly a valid opinion (though historycally the price has been sustainable).

  121. Not really. Reddit runs the servers. Twitter runs the servers. Users run the servers with Mastodon. Reddit says what is allowed on the platform. Twitter says what's is allowed on the platform.

  123. That's just wrong. People been spelling doom for ages and yet it's business as usual.

  124. It's cause it's not a scam. You can say it won't succeed for a variety of reasons, but to say that it's a scam is patently false.
    1
  125. No, because it has no algorithm pushing crappy stuff.
    1
  126. With all the art heists and scams why would anybody buy a painting? With all the heists and scams why would anyone buy a ring? I mean you can say that about anything. The fact is that heists and scams aren't that significant and mostly affects those who are extremely inexperienced - unlike most other heists.

  129.  @kalui96  what you on about? Nobody forces anybody to update. Nobody forces anybody to participate. You can even create your own currency. So what you on about?
    1
  130.  @kalui96  That is patently false. Besides, you complain about everything. But everyone is free to use crypto however they see fit. When it comes to freedom there's no limitations there. Nobody cares if your ok with the creation of coins. Its anyone's freedom to do so for as long as they don't impose on you. But you go aboit shouting tyranny and then wanting to put limits on what others can and cannot create. Can't have it both ways.
    1
  131. Yeah, the question is whether institutional users will shift over. Like brands who use it for their announcements. Personally that's all I use twitter for.

  137. Many people prefer a platform that is not as littered with misinformation and hate. It's absurd that people go around declaring a platform dead as soon as it is launched, especially when it is tapping into the resources of existing social media to fuel the greatest start of an app ever. Let's wait until it actually somewhat stabilizes before making random predictions based on personal feelings.

  138.  @Sebster85  Your comments won't be the subject of moderation unless you go around being rude or spreading blatant lies. Do you really have to pretend to be civil? I find political censorship worrisome, like when Twitter engaged in censorship in turkey. Now insults and concerted efforts to lie to the population at scale? No thanks.

  139. Source? All the newest reports I see say 20%. It's normal that people rushed all at once to try it out initially and then defaulted to a more normal usage pattern.

  140. ​ @chrisfrank4267  Looked it up: What is down 75% is searches for the word "threads", not the app itself. The app is down from 49mil to 23.6 million active users, or about 22% of Twitter’s audience (with about 20% as many total users). That's a drop of 50%, not 75, and the end numbers are similar in proportion to twitter.

  144.  @Moodboard39  the owner of the server can be you. You can literally host it yourself. I have already mentioned this.....

  145. Same as how is it different from Twitter: This is not controlled by a company, instead is controlled by the users.

  146. It's just been launched lol there probably isn't even enough data past the hype to know what its baseline actually is.

  147. What do you mean?

  148. Because Musk's behavior is directly driving many people away. Zuckerberg's actions however do not help twitter grow.

  149.  @DanielOdhiambo-io  google's biggest mistake was not fact-checking. microsoft has done really well with the copilot ai. I think saying they are all about profit at all cost isn't completely accurate when Microsoft hardly even enforces their windows licenses when it comes to piracy.

  150. Discord is one single company, and its "servers" are simply isolated messaging groups. Mastodon is run by any number of randos, and the servers are actual servers (content receivers and emitters) and all communicate with eachother. People have been comparing it with email, which makes for a good analogy.

  151. Yet Twitter promptly censored for Turkey. Twitter is not free it's just overrun by disinformation. It's kinda like fox, where it's viewers were actually less informed than those who didn't watch any news at all.

  152. Nothing like discord at all. You just heard servers and thought discord lmao.

  153.  @blablup1214  can't find anything about storage. But it wouldn't be surprising if it had at least 500gb which is enough for a couple large games. The cable shouldn't be an issue, just use an extension cord if needed. Something that may be too good to give up is the keyboard and/or game controller.

  154.  @ronald3836  lol you're hilarious, but this literally uses the same chipset at a laptop, with a sharp screen, controls that work well, ... this is already looking like a functional replacement for a laptop as it is.

  155. ​ @rolandaustria7926  if only meta had thought of branding its device as a computer... what a miss 💀

  156. They just produce more of what they already know people like. Too much money at play to risk on something new, so they just rehash the same movies.

  157. Limit automation? I disagree. I think automation should be a goal. And companies should be free to pursuit profit. It's the job of the governmemt to then manage things appropriately so that companies dont do immoral things in the pursuit of profit and also that people don't struggle as automation yields more and more production.

  159.  Zaydan Naufal  Encyclopedias are generally not acceptable sources in academia lol Wikipedia is pretty good and even comparable to other encyclopedias for accuracy, which is quite impressive.

  160. People tried this live and controls worked exactly as shown in the renders. It's not reading your mind it's tracking your eyes to see where you are looking and your hands and fingers so you can act on what you're looking at.

  161. Because it seems to be unknown if there is any? This is not the old cathod ray tubes.

  162.  @Devin7Eleven  oh you are responding to the op comment. Personally, I think there can be some common sense guidelines, for instance regarding people insulting eachother or spreading false claims. For as long as it's not a platform intentionaly made for spreading hate and falsehoods, it should allow everyone who is in good faith to participate while keeping bad actors from running rampant. Courts and Wikipedia are good examples I suppose.

  163. North Korea carried out an attack. That's bad. You can point fingers at whoever you want, it's still bad. It's bad. You got it? Bad.

  164. ​​​ @wackpattynacknick f? They did not say online study materials are scams... 😂 They said that you can buy books online, but of course be careful because there are scammers. ( Edit: timestamp is 1:54 ) You got it so wrong 😂😂😂

  165.  @TK-ek5kp  that's a lot of bricks being wasted most of the time. It would be brilliant to just have 1 brick replacing all those.

  166. Twitter, the new hip platform for zoomers. Seems unlikely.

  167. Me neither. Might still not be desirable. What should be the bigger problem is being associated with a platform that invites misinformation and extremism.

  168. Ads pay for free to use platforms. Might be crappy, but removes payment as a barrier to entry. Personally, for instance, I find paywalled articles very off-putting. I have the money to pay, but just the hassle of not being able to seamlessly move in and out of a website just poses too much of an entry barrier. Maybe a wallet that automatically allocates a fraction of its contents to the websites I visit would solve the problem without advertising. But then we will have to convince people to fund their wallets.

  171.  @Devin7Eleven  Users themselves are doing the moderation, and are able to personalize it however they want. I suppose people can create any kind of derivative of this open source project. But most people will simply join regular servers where the moderation practices will be similar to those of big tech companies.

  172. ​ @webpresent they are pretty much unlimited and only pose a substantial cost to amateur bots usually providing some free service to the community. For large scale data farms it really doesn't mean much.

  173. He still depends on ads, maybe this limit will get some people to pay for access to more posts, but that sounds like far too little to compare to ad revenue. Thing is: company's revenue is down, and they have to do something about it, whether cutting costs or squeezing more money out of their users. Thus may just be a way to cut costs. Google wants their money for twitter's use of their servers, and payment is late. No use trying much to guess what oddities the guy is concocting, we'll know soon enough.

  174. This applies to all users, not just to those who complained, and there might be more to it than meets the eye. Besides twitter is hypermediatized due to Musk's stunts, so people pay closer attention to it.

  175. It seems useful. I would love to have a screen that follows me around so I can watch TV while I do boring chores around the house.

  178. What? Zoe is on this clip, she was just introduced by Julie. (Seems Zoe is doing field work?) Am I missing something there?

  179.  @SorminaESar  I think it's just field work. It's been like this for weeks, maybe a month. I hope everything is alright too

  180.  @steven.events  ? The project is open source, you can run it yourself, copy it modify it if you want.

  182. It's public data

  183. ​ @CHMichael  The difference is pretty fundamental. 2nd life is playing dolls, a simulation of a world in a box, while any of these social vr platforms simulate the outside world, the environment you are in.

  184. He doesn't care about truth (said yes to turkey, lied repeatedly about tesla funding, keeps making wild claims about progress on his products that don't really match reality, even about his deceased child the mother claims he lied), he doesn't care about people (petty name-calling on Twitter, pressing employees to sleep in the office, ...). I mean there's just so much attesting to the bad character of this person... Just because he likes extremely futuristic technology doesn't make him a good person.

  185. Wall Street journal is not left wing. Mastodon is open to everyone, with diverse communities - mostly communities that have nothing to do with politics. So no, it's not like the misinformation andbpoliticalcprppagamda that trump created for that specific purpose.

  186.  @lemenonin  Twitter is more accessible and lower effort than government, and yet people often try to engage in politics on that and other platforms. And Kanye is still very much "canceled" (a lot of deals he had going were dropped). Meaningless? Hateful words. Hate speech that he's been spewing about jews for years.
