  • This makes distinguishing between nested comments much easier IMO. That's been my biggest gripe with the default UI so major thanks to the dev!

  • Clowns. There's nothing but buffoonery coming from this McCarthy led House and it's exhausting.

  • Awesome. I hope they get him and his cronies on RICO charges and everyone involved in this brazen attempt to overturn an election to install a fascist dictator winds up in prison.

    I've thoroughly enjoyed watching him melt down over all these indictments. It's just like, what did you expect dude? If you don't want to be indicted every other week you should stop committing crimes. It's super easy. Look at me, I'm not committing crimes as we speak! It's effortless!

  • Yeah pretty much, they might as well say "we've decided to sack Jerry from the Social Media team" because this isn't actually exiting twitter it's more like reducing someone's workload lol.

  • I hadn't heard about it either but according to their blog post announcing it, it's https://social.bbc

    Apparently they'll be running it for six months and then determining if it's worth continuing to operate.

  • There will only be four remaining official ABC accounts: for news, sport, Chinese and the master ABC Australia account.

    Somebody let me know when they actually leave twitter. This is a bullshit half measure.

  • Did Marjorie Taylor Greene once again call for “decorum”?

    To be fair MTG can only recall about a dozen words at any given time and when she learns a new one it forces an old word out.

  • Service issues and downtime were pretty regular issues at the beginning though just as they are now on Lemmy.

    Yep, unscheduled service interruptions and planned downtime were a fact of life on reddit for years. I can still remember when the reddit admins always announced downtime before swapping out the hamster powering their server.

    Actually, I'd say when reddit stopped announcing downtime that's when things started to noticeably change. Admins stopped even trying to pretend to be redditors themselves and their comms became a lot less casual and authentic.

  • This is a barely-disguised ad.

    Uhh it’s not disguised at all it’s literally from the official Paramount Pictures YouTube channel.

  • Good, it’s the right thing to do. Russians shouldn’t even be allowed anywhere near international athletics until Putin is arrested and standing trial for war crimes at The Hague.

  • You sure about that one.

    Yes. I believe the vast majority of parents since the beginning of the social media age simply never even considered the potential privacy issues at play when they filled their accounts with pictures of their kids. They were just proud parents sharing their lives with friends and family.

    Just because I think it’s selfish and irresponsible does not mean I think the average parent was acting with malicious intent. Social media was brand new for everyone, I’m not going to judge someone too harshly for failing to understand that their social media activity over the years could undermine their children’s right to privacy.

  • Some child influencers are born to “momfluencers”, inheriting large followings before they have learned to walk. The LaBrants, a family based in Tennessee, have accumulated millions of followers documenting their lives online. They run Instagram accounts for each of their children; their youngest, aged one and four, already have 1.4m followers on a joint profile

    You know, we’re just now reaching the point where there are adults who’ve had their entire lives documented on social media without their consent by well meaning parents and I think that in and of itself has always been a selfish and irresponsible thing to do. But this is a whole different level of crazy. I can’t begin to imagine the amount of greed motivating these people to rob their own children of their privacy and force them into some “kidfluencer” role before they can even talk. Those “momfluencers” may be getting wealthy from all this but they’re morally bankrupt.

  • Well his own child disowned him for being a transphobic piece of shit. So I guess we could start there...

  • They’re right to be concerned. There is simply no reason whatsoever to trust Elon Musk. He is an unhinged right wing extremist agitator.
