Facebook has people posting blood and soil fascism attached to their real names, photos and places of employment.

people posting blood and soil fascism attached to their real names, photos and places of employment
it's not like anyone willing to do that under their true name will ever shrink from owning their fascism under any circumstances. still seems marginally preferable to their doing it pseudonymously.

Googling around reveals that this may have been being pushed out for a few months now, but I opened the app earlier this morning and it popped up asking to connect to other devices on my local network. Uh, no thanks. When I saw it I assumed the worst of Elon, but I guess this was being rolled out before he came into the picture as part of the newer ios requirements for asking permission. Something to do with video casting, but skeptical af as to why Twitter would need that.

The official label is still going out as part of the @TwitterBlue launch -- we are just focusing on government and commercial entities to begin with. What you saw him mention was the fact that we're not focusing on giving individuals the "Official" label right now.— Esther Crawford ✨ (@esthercrawford) November 9, 2022

im personally all for internet anonymity but for twitter its good for them if official sources are official, as far as randos prob doesnt make much difference
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 9 November 2022 19:03 (one year ago) link
but if randos want it let them have it why not thats called customer service, having it be a profit center obvs corrupts the whole idea tho

the labels shd be "nob" for blue ticks and "mob" for the rest of us, its in the constitution in fancy C18 language (nobility vs mobility)

Yes Reddit has proven than even “moderated” anonymity is a failure. $8chan roffle
― recovering internet addict/shitposter (viborg), Wednesday, 9 November 2022 19:17 (one year ago) link
idk anonymity is also extremely important for marginalized people (especially trans people) plus lots and lots of people who do not live in the USA. I've also heard a few nightmare anecdotes about getting verified by FB requiring you to upload passports and the like
― rob, Wednesday, 9 November 2022 19:21 (one year ago) link
yeah there are good legit reasons to be anon like safety for vulnerable people, and good non legit reasons like its nice and its internet, i dont think reddit really proves anything outside reddit sucks and maybe huge platforms suck (something proven by all huge platforms including and maybe especially facebook which requires real names)
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 9 November 2022 19:27 (one year ago) link
Outside of Facebook I don’t think I’ve ever used a gendered username anywhere, and there’s a reason for that.

which is not to say that huge platforms dont have nice qualities too but lets be real how many serious genocide attempts have been promoted via facebook at this point
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 9 November 2022 19:29 (one year ago) link
xpYes, excellent point. See also ethnicity, religion, and caste for last names.
gyac and lagoon both otm that FB puts the lie to non-anonymity being preventative of much

reddit seems to be moderately successful?
on the other hand I've heard rumblings that most of their new traffic is all porn
― mh, Wednesday, 9 November 2022 19:39 (one year ago) link
should also be noted that to some extent were all vulnerable to bad things happening re our names being tied to our posts whats the chance say the usa goes full fash in the next five years its not zero even tho im a cis white straight american male info worker doesnt mean i really want public posts next to my real name saying “ it is good too burn police stations lol”, thats a dramatic example but you could get fired lose yr health care etc over some fb bs too

Weird use of "renunciar" in that tweet.
Did he mean "me renuí"? Still doesn't sound right but closer.
I think he needs a new Spanish tweeter.

The goal of Twitter DMs is to superset Signal— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 9, 2022

this is a good point. twitter's product development is slow in part because if they are required to follow an extremely pedantic process agreed with the FTC in order to settle with them. i'm thinking this is not what musk is doing.
By the way, is there anyone left at Twitter who remembers that the company is still under a pretty stringent FTC consent decree that has, you know, some requirements about launching new products & services and having a written plan about their security? https://t.co/ZjytSLUq1W pic.twitter.com/Wc1iJKeEEZ— Mike Masnick (@mmasnick) November 9, 2022

unless the FTC has any actual teeth to enforce that decree, i don't think musk cares much about it - see his own agreement with the SEC to have an outside advisor pre-approve all tweets, which is also not what musk is doing

no i'm sure he doesn't, but the FTC does have enforcement capabilities.

looks like the biggest fine to date is $5B against fb in 2019, which at the time was a landmark fine for them to levy. elon's down $44B in twitter and on the hook for $1B a year for a decade, what's another $5B to the richest man in the world
