X's legal filing in the InfoWars bankruptcy case is both batshit crazy and also what you'd expect. It asserts that X owns every account, can do whatever it wants with them, and can inject itself into legal proceedings that have nothing to do with it.
This is why it's incredibly important that people invest in platforms that they own, and move toward federated/decentralized/portable, noncorporate social media as rapidly as possible
Measured and well thought out.

4 Recomendaciones para Comunicar más allá de la muralla
Visita el repositorio de las Jornadas de reflexión y debate "Comunicar más allá de la muralla", organizadas conjuntamente por Internet Ciudadana, CIESPAL, ALER y FARCO.
Las premisas que guiaron este ciclo fueron las de servir como insumo para construir colectivamente y desde las distintas experiencias, un panorama de posibilidades para abordar el dilema de cómo «traspasar las murallas». O sea, cómo hacer efectivo el derecho a comunicar en los entornos digitales y más ampliamente, cómo encarar la lucha tecnopolítica para que estos espacios sirvan al bien común y no sean monopolizados por el interés mercantil de grandes corporaciones.

Seriously. The first thing you see when you google David Tennant is a borked AI generated picture of *not* David Tennant.
The way Google whiffed on AI while making their flagship product increasingly shit in their attempt to catch up is astounding.
I grow weary of all the Mastodon reply-guys that always feel like they just *have* to lecture you on what you use. So i’m moving my personal fully to Bluesky. I’ll cya there.

Until the day it goes down the shitter, I won’t be using this account.
Suspending the account because of the actions of a few individuals feels odd. You can always find weirdos on any platform, just in different ways.
By doing so, you're just hurting the Fediverse and making us look bad.
@gamingonlinux I'm sorry, but could you explain what I said wrong?
There are some individuals on Mastodon who grumble about people using BlueSky, but I don't think it's a mainstream opinion.
Because of those weirdos, you're suspending your personal account and saying, "Mastodon has too much constant reply-guy syndrome" on BlueSky. Which gives the impression that Mastodon is a toxic place. Most of us aren't like this. This just hurts the Fediverse's reputation.
@Shatur "you're just hurting the Fediverse and making us look bad"
If you don't see the issue with that, i can't help you, stop it
Aren't suspending the account here and complaining on BlueSky about being tired of Mastodon users harmful to it?
There’s nothing wrong with using BlueSky. In fact, I think it's better for GoL to be accessible on as many platforms as possible.
But seeing you suspend your personal account here is just bad news for us. I didn't mean to be rude to you.

Awesome, now I’ll consider buying those games.
I never understood why you need a launcher on top of Steam/Epic. All the functionality the launcher provides can be bundled up into an SDK and implemented inside the game 🤷♂️

in reply to Muse • • •I say "you do you." Each of us has to navigate how to handle this. Personally, I am disappointed, as Neil is brilliant. I was really looking forward to another season of Sandman
If we were to throw out the wonderful art, music and books created by all the people who did awful things, there wouldn't be much left, frankly. We went through this in the Catholic church when a composer of church music we had all loved for years was found to be an abuser. For a while, we did without - and his works are no longer published in new hymnals. But it really hurt - as these are beautiful songs that live in the hearts of so many people. However, now, if we occasionally use those songs because they are the best choice to go with a set of scriptures, or a family requests them from a funeral, we report the copyright use to the publisher, as we always do with all music, and they donate a portion of the royalties to a fund for abused women.

in reply to Muse • • •Traumatic early life often leads to bad actions later, from imprinting those early experiences
so often the creativity and bad acts are different reactions by the same person, to working out these bad experiences
