I was thinking of the crap Amazon and Jeff Bozos does. What you described is flat out obnoxious. I would redact my sensitive information from my receipt and email it to them telling them why they lost my business.

I agree. I’ve seen what people like Zuck, Musk, and Huffman are capable of. I’m getting near done with corporate social media. I like the fediverse.

I’ve been tracking and reducing the amount I spend at Amazon for a while. My situation is that the alternative-that-costs-a-bit-more isn’t a local business, but another big corporate business. My alternative is usually eBay for a few dollars more.

Ugh, maybe “no thanks”. This is where AI comes in. So much of a moderators job, Rose says, is just grunt work: fighting spam, reviewing obvious policy violations, litigating pointless fights. How can we remove the janitorial work of moderators and community managers, he says, and convert what they do every day into more of a kind of director of vibes, culture and community than someone that is just sitting there doing the laborious crappy stuff that comes in through the front door? The real trick is to give the communities the tools they actually need to operate The new Digg, Rose says, will include lots of AI-forward ways to sort through and make decisions on content. He also hopes AI can be used for fun. Im just making stuff up here, but theres everything from an AI agent that converts your entire sub-community into Klingon, to another one where you dont allow a certain type of profanity and thats automatically auto-moderated. Users will be able to tap AI models to build stuff right in their communities, too. If we can create more of a dynamic canvas where agents are layered on top to assist, to help, to do wild things, to create games, to do whatever that community wants them to do, then we have something, Rose says.

Did you mean you will be boycotting Target, but not Amazon?

If youve been on the internet long enough to remember the old Digg, you already have a rough idea of how the new Digg will work. Everything is based on content and links: someone shares a link, and people can comment and vote on the links. (If you like something, you Digg it; the old Bury downvote option is now gone.) The most popular stuff ends up on the homepage which Rose and Mezzell tell me they hope will once again be the homepage of the internet but there will also be countless smaller communities surfacing and sharing stuff in their own niche. … Digg wont show how many followers you have because that creates bad incentives; same with competing to be the most-Dugg person on the platform.

Companies, if operating as designed, are amoral money machines That is kind of what the murdered UnitedHealthcare CEO said to justify his behavior. His sole duty is to maximize profits for the shareholders. Implied: nothing else matters. What I do prioritize is how the company treats their employees. Many people would say that is part of a company’s politics.

If you mean federated social media that would be Lemmy ( discussion forums ) and then Mastodon ( more twitter-like, microblogging ).

They may just toss the letter after they receive it. If /u/DrD3adpool still knows someone in that town he can ask them to tell his family that he wants to contact them and ask them to oblige. After that the only option is showing up in person.

Also what qualifies as violent content? Criticizing Elon Musk or Donald Trump.
