Tumblr isn't doing anything about those blogs, just going after the adult content, instead. 09:57 <@Corydon76> Nor are they going after Nazis, white supremacists, or other vile hate groups 10:02 <@Dolemite> Tumblr/Verizon gets to make the decisions about what they are doing and hopefully consumers will realize that they aren't being moral, they're simply being heavy handed at reducing risk. 10:02 <@Dolemite> But as for "where will X go" I can only say, "Start paying for your service and see what happens" 10:03 < aestetix> Dolemite: the best part is that it's many of the same people who pushed back against me when I was complaining about the "real" name policies. 10:03 <@Dolemite> There is no obligation for every special interest group to have a free ecosystem on the internet 10:03 < aestetix> Apparently "it's a private company, they can do what they want" argument doesn't sound so good when you are the one being affected 10:03 <@Corydon76> aestetix: Nobody is saying that they can't. They're simply exercising their First Amendment right to bitch about it. 10:03 < aestetix> Whereas in the meantime I gave up on all these sites and basically withdrew from it all. 10:04 <@Dolemite> aestetix: And in that one thing I'll admit that you're likely smarter than the rest of us 10:05 < aestetix> Well I simply did a cost-benefit analysis and it became painfully clear that I was losing. 10:05 <@Corydon76> It's not so much that they can't go elsewhere. It's that they enjoyed the ability to cross-pollinate content. 10:05 <@Corydon76> And finding another site to do that which can handle a mass influx of users is a challenge. 10:05 <@Corydon76> Right now, that looks to be Twitter. 10:06 < aestetix> Corydon76: a friend of a friend tried to play a winning hand by setting up a mastadon node and saying it was for free speech of all sorts 10:06 < aestetix> And after about a month it filled with lots of hateful things, including photos of nazi death camps. 10:07 <@Corydon76> Duh 10:07 <@Dolemite> I encourage them to move to Twitter. Maybe an influx of furries will make the nazis want to leave. 10:07 -!- crashcartpro [uid29931@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-etmwlchteoholbfu] has joined #se2600 10:07 <@Corydon76> Free speech for all things sounds great, until you realize that there is a ton of really terrible stuff that gets pushed into "free speech rights" 10:08 < aestetix> But yeah. The problem with the free speech thing is that you'll get 90%+ posts praising hitler, demanding a right to child porn, etc 10:08 < aestetix> And I say this as a free speech fundamentalist. 10:08 <@brimstone> free speech != consequenceless speech 10:09 < aestetix> And usually a good number of posts about jews, george soros, etc 10:09 <@Corydon76> aestetix: or worse 10:09 < aestetix> I really wonder what those guys will post about when george soros dies 10:10 < aestetix> since he is apparently the architect of all this shit 10:10 <@Corydon76> aestetix: "He faked his death! Soros is still in control!" 10:10 < aestetix> haha 10:10 < aestetix> so he'll be the new elvis 10:10 <@Corydon76> I'm not even kidding 10:11 <@Corydon76> They *seriously* believe that the elites have figured out how to immortal and control society in secret. 10:11 <@opticron> they'll just claim the singularity already happened and his brain is now running on a supercomputer somewhere 10:11 < aestetix> oh and the other thing 10:12 < aestetix> if the friend of a friend cracks down.... like removes one of the auschwitz photos or something 10:12 < aestetix> you know the trolls will DDoS his server or worse 10:13 <@Corydon76> Yeah, that's why the only way to shut that down is to say you've gone bankrupt and the server will be shut down 10:13 <@Corydon76> Then open a shell company with another service, with nearly the same software, but with set restrictions 10:14 < aestetix> On the "deleting accounts" bit, btw 10:14 < aestetix> I considered keeping my twitter account, and just using it mostly for posting but not reading 10:14 < aestetix> Like "hey there's an event coming up" 10:15 < aestetix> but their fucking algorithms made that useless 10:15 <@Corydon76> I rarely use my Twitter account anymore. It's mostly just Facebook and Google 10:15 < aestetix> So basically, the only way to guarantee anyone sees your tweets now is by pissing everyone off 10:15 <@Corydon76> That may change with Tumblr's shutdown of adult content. 10:15 <@Corydon76> You know I only go to those pages to read the stories. 10:17 < aestetix> btw, did you see the facebook stuff? 10:17 < aestetix> a bunch of internal documents relased by the UK parliament 10:17 < aestetix> I'm hoping there will be something in there that proves Zuckerberg committed perjury 10:19 < aestetix> https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/facebooks-very-bad-month-just-got-worse 10:19 < PigBot> Facebook’s Very Bad Month Just Got Worse | The New Yorker (at www.newyorker.com) http://tinyurl.com/yasgxsho 11:26 -!- strages [uid11297@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-cagciljgffmhjfgv] has joined #se2600 12:34 <@Mirage> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiPW2BCX8Mg 12:34 < PigBot> "Refunding" A Refund Scammer Using His Own Technique (at www.youtube.com) http://tinyurl.com/yat6c5uv 12:53 -!- K`Tetch_ [~no@47.39.211.239] has joined #se2600 12:57 -!- K`Tetch [~no@unaffiliated/ktetch] has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds] 13:10 <@Corydon76> That's not the refund scam I was thinking of.

The tower told him to repeat his message in English (standard language for ATC around the world as I understand). German pilot responded in English, "I'm a German pilot flying a German plane in Germany. Why must I speak English?" A British pilot came over the radio and said, "Because you lost the bloody war!" 13:22 < dasunt> I still don't get how Blue Origin is going to be economically viable. 13:27 < dasunt> If SpaceX is the GM of private rockets, Blue Origin would be the artisinal rocket crafter. 15:04 -!- K`Tetch [~no@unaffiliated/ktetch] has joined #se2600 15:07 -!- K`Tetch_ [~no@47.39.211.239] has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds] 19:54 -!- K4k [elw@unaffiliated/k4k] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 19:58 -!- crashcartpro [uid29931@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-etmwlchteoholbfu] has quit [Quit: Connection closed for inactivity] 20:30 -!- strages [uid11297@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-cagciljgffmhjfgv] has quit [Quit: Connection closed for inactivity] 21:37 -!- crashcartpro [uid29931@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-kwejohebwdwjudbg] has joined #se2600 22:42 -!- K`Tetch_ [~no@47.39.211.239] has joined #se2600 22:42 -!- K`Tetch [~no@unaffiliated/ktetch] has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds] --- Log closed Fri Dec 07 00:00:38 2018
