If you're a Fediverse admin, this is a plea for you to defederate threads.net

#Threads is part of Meta/Facebook, and their track record on moderation is as horrific as it is possible to be:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/dec/06/rohingya-sue-facebook-myanmar-genocide-us-uk-legal-action-social-media-violence

https://www.amnesty.org.uk/press-releases/ethiopia-facebook-algorithms-contributed-human-rights-abuses-against-tigrayans

https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2022-02-20/facebook-accused-of-letting-activists-incite-ethnic-massacres-with-hate-and-misinformation-by-survivors-in-ethiopia/.

The victims of prejudice, violence and genocide cannot "block" attackers that were radicalised online. Victims of bigotry and hatred cannot opt out of being beaten up or murdered.

Please defederate Threads/Meta/Facebook 🙏

@FediTips this is childish. People are radicalised on any kind of network that can connect two people.

@FediTips yeah, and he realised the rule was wrong. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/10/12/zuckerberg-holocaust-denial-facebook/

Software describing itself as "blazing/extremely fast" always read more like satire to me. Like what if a train had to put "super reliable and safe" on the side of itself. Bonus points for when these claims are made without any evidence, in this case benchmarks against some other adjacent projects.

@brk @moody for sure, the people writing these pages need to understand positioning. When I read "blazing fast" I'm suddenly thinking "what? why would you say that? is something slow? why aren't you slow?"

@crmsnbleyd probably like writing screenplays. Your first five will be mid.

Seeing people liken the use of AI to generate source code to using a compiler to generate assembly. I can't even begin to explain how stupid this thought is.

@moody

whatever main(args?) {  
 whatever result = /* write a fibonacci please? */;  
 return result;  
}```

that's how gcc works, right?
