But you're not talking about the people who are already doing everything they can you're talking about the people who aren't, and they haven't, and they won't, so it is industry and government who needs to do the things for them, because they won't. If our votes aren't enough then there is nothing more that can be done under the current system.
It was actually that I wasn't on 'All'. Still getting used to lemmy. I almost always browse Active or Hot, never all because it seemed kind of less quality to my eyes. Maybe it was the porn and I just forgot about it.
Can you show me one? I'm genuinely curious because I have not seen any porn show up in my feeds. And I just specifically looked in all of them. I wonder if it's a bug. Did you sign up recently?
Been like this for a while. I have an account with a shitty password and it's not a big deal for me to stay logged in. But it's scummy. I know they're collecting that data. Can't even fap in private anymore.
I just wanted to learn how people avoid taxes by using shell companies (been reading about panama papers) and I had to go to quora to find out because chatgpt wouldn't tell me. Even the basic 'I want to learn this thing' is something you have to prompt around.
A secondary email is a good thing. I have one account I use for everything important (tax, bank, insurance, bills, personal correspondance) and the other is protonmail which I use for Facebook, craigslist, uber, dentist, etc.
Same in Vancouver, though the deep heat usually comes in August. It is however extremely dry. I can't remember the last time it actually rained. Looks like 2-4 rain events since May 1.
And yes I think a lot of the reddit refugees might be people were tired of all different kinds of things on reddit. It's too big and then oddly not busy enough? If you comment on a big thread odds are no one will even read it, but if you post in a small sub it may be days before anyone responds.
Second post of this I've seen in a couple days so I was curious and joined it. It's very active and I'm going in thinking that it is a good move. Active conversations suits fashion advice IMO.
I don't care enough about twitter/elon to read all of that so here's a LLM summary:
After Elon Musk acquired Twitter, hundreds of advertisers paused their spending due to concerns about potential changes. Many of these advertisers have not returned, leading to an 89% decline in spending from the top 10 advertisers on the platform. Major brands like Coca-Cola, Hilton, and AT&T have not resumed ad spending as of February. Major media agencies advised clients to pause their Twitter campaigns after Musk's takeover and are still cautious due to Musk's behavior on the platform.
Musk has made efforts to win back advertisers, offering discounts and safety tools, but concerns remain. Twitter's revenue has fallen by 50% (minimum) since October due to the decline in advertising. The company is working on brand safety measures but faces challenges in convincing advertisers to return.
Despite the decrease in big-name advertisers, some smaller advertisers continue to spend on Twitter. Musk has shown more interest in Twitter's sales organization recently and made changes to the reporting structure. Advertisers remain concerned about churn on Twitter's sales team and uncertainty about the company's direction.
That's what I was going to suggest but then I always feel this is a complicated problem and it's not just one thing. It's a lot of efforts on in different areas, but regulation is certainly one. It shouldn't be that hard to do considering it's one of the main responsibilities of government.
