  • No. He wouldn’t be happy with ActivityPub as well. He imagines a social network where no one can perform any moderation. He favours Nostr for exactly that reason. Bluesky has got moderation (just like the Fediverse) - which he dislikes.

    So? Like Usenet was back in the day before it became a pirate haven. Then email lists became it. LOL, People tend to ignore the extreme nut jobs regardless. I never saw any child porn on Usenet, but then I didn't go looking for it. No doubt it existed too.

  • Not correct. It's a human right regardless whether you believe it or not. https://www.un.org/en/chronicle/article/freedom-expression-fundamental-human-right#:~:text=Freedom%20of%20expression%20is%20a,Universal%20Declaration%20of%20Human%20Rights.

    Just because America doesn't allow free speech on their social applications doesn't make it right. Pull your head out of your arse. Yelling fire when there isn't a fire isn't an example of free speech you moron! We're talking about political free speech.

  • At least Dorsey is thinking about social platforms, problems. Did you even read the post or simply spouting what your tribe says in your echo chamber?

  • Well, literal Nazis would be a good start.

    The problem is that most of the blocking is simply because people don't like the speech. This is a huge concern for any liberal democracy. Free speech is a right, and that means speech that one doesn't necessarily like!

  • this guy is 100% committed to give nazis a platform, right?

    I think you mean — speech you don't like. Where do you draw the line?

  • it’s sometimes hard to remember there are people who take that view.

    Many people have this view. Us on the Fedi are unique in that we don't, or didn't before the mass Twitter émigré occurred.

  • Too bad most commenting haven't read the interview (what else is new, eh?). I like this, Jack Dorsey responding to a question on how the US government had its hooks into Twitter's leadership before the buyout:

    I think it was problematic, and I also don't think the people who got called out in the Twitter Files get enough credit for pushing back on government requests. The U.S. is certainly one of them. Twitter has a track record of fighting the U.S. on free speech causes, especially around transparency reports. Opening the lens even broader to other governments, we had even more fights. Tons of fights with India, Turkey, Russia, Nigeria. These are all governments that threatened arrest of our employees, raided our employees' homes, offices, asking for phone numbers and personal information for accounts that were critical of the governments. I think that was one part that's overlooked and not appreciated.

  • Regarding The Hyprland & Vaxry Situation

  • Totally agree. Started with the Me-Too movement where we saw people accused and convicted without due process. It seemed to spin out of the Jian Gnomeshi acquittal.
