  • “It is now run and predominantly owned by chief executive Jay Graber as a US public benefit corporation.”

    It’s that predominantly that’s the tell. The Guardian has no more idea who owns which and how many shares as anyone else, because it’s a privately held corporation. Yeah, i’m pretty sure, and when they go public, we’ll all be positive of it. If Dorsey wasn’t the largest shareholder, they would have been feeding THAT out to the press, instead of the incessant every present PR line “stepped down from the board” and “closed his account” lol

    jack dorsey is the largest shareholder in bluesky because he founded it and has never transferred or given up his shares in it







  • Now with Trump a little less than two months from taking power, and giving Ukraine to Russia, Russia is flooding the field, daring NATO to step in, knowing they will not, this is going to be incredibly painful to watch, but not even in the same universe as the pain Ukrainians have and will be feeling at being abandoned by the western world that calls itself FREE. In the end it will come down to Russia being willing to go to war over Ukraine and the Western Free World not. Europe is nowhere, unwilling, and incapable of taking on Russia without the majority of will and support coming from The United States.














  • Whoooooo boy, The internet in the united states you’re using right now, is going to be unrecognizable in the next 12 months, all free services will charge, cost for access will increase, speed will be symied, vpn usage will be curtailed, and archive, library, and pirate sites will be blocked.

    We just re-elected a fascist tyrant who wants to close as many avenues of education and free speech which can be used to educate, organize, and publish against him as he possibly can, as well as funnel as much cash to media and tech oligarchs to keep them onside, and now he’s got both the house and senate with which to do just that.


  • "Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about.

    It’s entirely clear why the change was done, it’s not getting reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to “grass root” it by Russian troll factories isn’t going to change anything.

    And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren’t troll farm accounts - the “various compliance requirements” are not just a US thing.

    If you haven’t heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by “news”, I don’t mean Russian state-sponsored spam.

    As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be supporting Russian aggression? Apparently it’s not just lack of real news, it’s lack of history knowledge too."

    fuck yes. fuck russia. fuck russians.
