Pinterest considered a social network?

bye DiS, found a new place to hang out
What makes you think we let you in?
Hi DiS! turns out it was full of dicks
i will probably not be doing this.
Iâm working nights this week. Not a chance I can get through the dead period from 2.30 til 5ish without scraping the social media barrel for content to keep me awakeâŚ
is the poll for what social media we are on or what social media we could not post on?
Will anyone tell Lord Adonis?
i mean i havenât posted anything on twitter for several months other than the odd reply to my wife with a simpsons gif in it, but sure why not
Not sure about this - Iâm not saying all on the left are angels but the way he dismisses harassment and abuse of minorities AND implying that itâs some sort of conspiracy with Facebook and Twitter to look like a bigger problem than it is in order to erase right wing people from the internet, makes me feel like his Utopian vision for the digital future doesnât include people of my ilk.
Quote below: it's well long
Many seem to have bought it hook, line, and sinker that there is something new and unusually nefarious about how the right treats the left, or minorities and women. Never mind that the left slags the right arguably much worse than vice-versa, and they have the weight of giant corporations and governments on their side. It seems to me that if you did buy this, then you might well wonder if decentralization is the right way forward. After all, it is the centralization of power in the hands of giant (left-leaning) corporations that makes it possible to rein in those evil bigoted conservatives. Am I wrong?
Itâs strange to me that nobody talked about how the right was abusing the left (or the disadvantaged, etc.) in the 2000s when the Blogosphere was much more active, or when people abused each other all the time on Usenet and mailing lists; the dynamics were much the same back then. No, the notion that there is something new and nefarious and disproportionately weighted on the right seems to be what the Powers That Be (especially orgs devoted to manipulating the media, such as Media Matters and assorted thinktanks) have decided we must all now believe.
And I think the reason they have decided we must all now believe that, is that this gets people like you thinking about how we can censor ever-larger swathes of undesirable political speech (because itâs harmful of course! Itâs violent !) while still somehow persuading ourselves that we really do still respect political free speech. This is politically effective, as the left-wing pundits, politicians, and âmedia analystsâ knowâtheyâre salivating at the prospect of silencing their opponentsâ precisely because the power is now so centralized and concentrated in the hands of giant left-leaning corporations that can âmoderateâ (nah, itâs not censorship because corporations canât censor, itâs just moderation!) their opponents into well-deserved oblivion.
I mean, his quote ânobody talked about how the right was abusing the left (or the disadvantaged, etc.) in the 2000sâ is patently not true, at least not in the circles I was running in. But then maybe thatâs the point - we were all a bit more segregated.
The stuff about personal data, ability for it to be hacked, forced into using products etc I completely agree with, itâs just this part that doesnât sit well with me.
I expect very few if any members of DiS to strike.
- I will strike
- Nope.
- maybe some, not all.
sounds like a ripe opportunity to dominate Instagram, or at least the feeds of my 85 loyal followers, the nav-mafia
