True, politics makes Musk a tribalist issue.

Anti-semitism is a real thing, but Israel-Palestine has always made it harder to understand. If it is truly anti-religious or just questioning Israel gov’t and actions.
Seems like a smear of Musk for not siding with Israel and instead calling for a ceasefire or peace.
Looking at the talk Musk had with Lex Fridman.
Thanks for the help!
Thanks for bringing this up.
I do not see this type of post too often, which should be important when trying to be better than other social media.
Some sites hide comment or post behind a warning, sucks but better than deleting.
Yes, modlog is really bare bones.
Awesome to see this discussion continue, while also seeing many different views on this topic!
Thanks!
edit: links fixed
I did a quick search and found only these:
Not sure about neutral/pro/con of them though.
Talking about being a pirate in the high seas.
Torrents and 3rd party sites, and such.
Thanks for sharing!
Looks like this is the norm now, Technofeudalism is here, goodbye capitalism.
Following the censorship over the years, looks similar to what happened with legacy media (main stream media).
Quote included in post:
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” — C.S. Lewis
In short, the Internet opened the door to a much larger, more diverse, and more vibrant world than I would have otherwise been able to experience; and enabled me to be an active participant in, and contributor to, that world. All of this helped me to learn, and to grow into a more well-rounded person.
In recent years, it seems like the whole world has become more ornery. Maybe that has something to do with the pandemic, or with political disagreements. Whatever the reason, people have become faster to attack, and slower to recognize each other’s shared humanity. One aspect of this has been a constant barrage of attacks on communication services, Omegle included, based on the behavior of a malicious subset of users.
Fear can be a valuable tool, guiding us away from danger. However, fear can also be a mental cage that keeps us from all of the things that make life worth living. Individuals and families must be allowed to strike the right balance for themselves, based on their own unique circumstances and needs. A world of mandatory fear is a world ruled by fear – a dark place indeed.
Unfortunately, what is right doesn’t always prevail. As much as I wish circumstances were different, the stress and expense of this fight – coupled with the existing stress and expense of operating Omegle, and fighting its misuse – are simply too much. Operating Omegle is no longer sustainable, financially nor psychologically. Frankly, I don’t want to have a heart attack in my 30s.

The picture was shared on other social media sites, I did not see it mentioned in Lemmy or similar.
Saw this pic floating around.
Yes, looks like an excuse.
News on nuclear weapons has been increasing.
I have also seen mentions of Putin talking about leaving nuclear treaty before, I am not sure if it was speculation or credible sources.
I updated article to Bloomberg source…
Reread, thank you for the clarification!
Have a great day!

Archive link not working on my end.
Do you think the bot issue is the real reason?
Many other social media has bots, what is different from all other places?
The elite do use Twitter for politics and news, though. Media people will stay so as to not be out of the loop and others will just be lurkers…
It seems to be a pay wall, for sharing opinions, so I think people will gravitate to supporting certain people that share their views. Hard to tell what will happen though…
Awesome!
Always great when we come together as a people to share recipes!
I’ve been lucky or my extensions/network have kept me from seeing any notices.
Alphabet (Google) through yt does block IP, refresh or change fixes it.
I prefer dots over spaces.
Spaces can mess with stuff, double space…
