If you think it's news that Meta's new public policy director, Dustin Carmack, is a Project 2025 co-author,

Consider dropping a tip to your preferred news outlet. I've already sent an email to The Verge's tipline and I implore you to do the same.

I made this with Xitter in mind but I think the idea carries over nicely.

Since project 2025 violates their community guidelines he is in breach of his employment agreement and should be fired, right Meta?

As someone who worked there, this is a crock. Low level employees would be fired for this. The longer he stays at Meta the more it confirms their true intentions.

Everyone has access to the community guidelines which may appear to be very even keeled and appropriate. As someone that's been on the inside, if you look at their enforcement guidelines, it's a different story entirely. The amount of tolerance they have for hate speech is remarkable.

Turns out things happening in the world affect everybody, and like it or not, your personal habits don't represent those of 3 billion other people.

Project 2025, the Real Life conspiracy to trump all fake bullshit conspiracies.

Tin hats, this is your moment. What did you prep for if not this?

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife 3 points 4 months ago

It's aluminum foil hats, dammit! Tin won't stop CIA brainwaves.

This will be the face of Threads' EEE policy. Watch it over the next five years.

On the scale of 1 to 10, how worried should I be?

Sadly I still have a WhatsApp account. There's people too stubornt to make the change... And I need to know if there's homework...

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

Everyone has WhatsApp in Europe sadly.

Lots of people without your digital literacy and/or political awareness. Labeling them as dumbasses isn't making any of them switch to better alternatives.

I mean, I agree with you, but also this appears to be a xitter post, you know, also run by a contemptible right wing pos.

Like, I am a person that hasn't used a major US bank since 08, I use local credit unions. I don't use facebook and deleted it after they started getting outted for shady shit a decade + ago.

I don't use windows, or reddit, or anything else it is possible for me to avoid for similar reasons.

Hell I used to only shop for groceries at the only nearby co op until a series of extraordinary events forced me to move somewhere that did not have any.

But we live in a world full of tiktoks complaining about how bad tiktok is, where people will tell you how much capitalism sucks and how much they are against it as they are, at the very same moment ordering fast fashion and a knock off stanley cup from TEMU.

[–] PunnyName 4 points 4 months ago

I don't use shitter anymore either.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Hmmm I wonder what effects this will have on Mastodon, as Threads has recently started to bridge over.
