I work with tech security and once a corporate blog post I wrote got from 1,000 monthly views to 100k because kids were looking up proxy tool guides and it was for Roblox lmao

This law is incredibly illiterate

but but that requires actually effort and budget that we'd have to take away from Australian oligarchs!

This isn't even delegating. It's more of an equivalent of stuffing your fingers into your ear holes and going "nanananan CAN'T HEAR YOU"

why would parents need a justification to parent?

This ban is a wake up call to Tech Industry

what? Why would tech industry care? If anything it'll have the reverse effect and dimiss tech role in brain rott because "see, kids are not on it! It's all good here"

Yup just tried it again. Also basically anything counts as a view, scroll by the post, embedded tweet, scraper scraping the tweet. Almost every time the page is viewed by anyone or anything will bump the number even if it's repeated visit from the same viewer withing short time frame.

I guess it's kinda nice that it's simply transparent like that for admins but that's not what users expect - it's a useless metric and very easy to inflate.

I'm tempted to fire up a dozen android emulators with a refresh loop to see how far this can be pushed but I really don't want to have that shit platform on my mind longer than I have to tbh.

All of the numbers are fake anyway. You can just sit there and f5 the page to get views on your own tweet lmao

Reddit 100% was censoring and shadow banning any kbin or lemmy mentions.

I wouldn't even be surprised if reddit actively promoted or even creates negative comments. There was a precedent of people abandoning Digg so they were clearly very aware and afraid.

At the end of the day it's impossible to tell with these incredibly opaque networks. It's even hard to confirm comment visibility as Reddit employs data fudging and shadow banning.

Just another reminder that nothing any closed source social media says should be trusted, ever.

That's literally what half of your leaders want too, no? Literally almost every republican agrees with this.

What is this magical "Status quo" word supposed to mean here? Because Trumps is everything status quo and even more direct so. He's literally supported by billionaires and republicans that run US right now.

There's much mental acrobatics here when the reality is much more simple. People are fucking stupid and american 2 party democratic system is fundamentally broken

I feel like this sort of logical acrobatics is exactly the cause that got you guys there. In other countries we'd call spade a spade and get on with it.

Americans will literally do anything else but accept responsibility.

Don't really see the causation here especially since Trump was already a president before! Where's the change here?

The first black women president was right there and yet the turn-out was lower than Biden who's a generic white politician.

Sorry no matter how I look at it, I don't see any signals to validate this claim.
