Twitter files, la suite : censure à tous les étages
Inexorablement, le paysage de l’information grand public change et ce n’est pas à la faveur des institutions officielles, de la presse traditionnelle ou des organes médiatiques habituels, au contraire. Avec la publication des “Twitter Files” dont un précédent billet faisait mention, on a eu la démonstration à la fois de la collusion de l’État et […] ⌘ Read more

Well, people should be able to talk, even if it’s the ‘wrong’ topic.
I think the whole ‘covid disinformation’ policy at twitter and others (spotify) is ridiculous.
A banner that pops up telling you to go ‘here’ for latest info is crazy.
People die from all kinds of things, covid is no exception from that, but no other virus has been put on display like this one. And also not even being able to discuss things around it (except for the cemented truth) is not something I like. I’m not a conspiracy theorist or anything like that - but I love discussing things, and when you cannot even do that - then I have a issue with it. So many people got banned for simply discussing or trying to discuss issues around it.

“Bloggers, Dump Your Twitter Card Tags”
It’s crazy to think how much bandwidth is being used by metadata tags. Every company wants to invent it’s own new system. Wouter Groeneveld gives a brief overview and recommends getting rid of them (for the most part). I agree with him completely. The only one of these systems that my blog supports is Microformats, which is quite popular among the IndieWeb community. ⌘ Read more

PSA: DMs on social media sites are not truely PMs. This is why we have a separate tool for private messaging from yarn. Always remember, if you don’t own the infra (or the parts at the ends of e2e encryption) you don’t own the data. and the true owners can view it any way they want!

I was inclined to let this go so as not to stir anything up, but after some additional thought I’ve decided to call it out. This twt:

Image

is exactly the kind of ad hominem garbage I came to expect from Twitter™, and I’m disappointed to see it replicated here. Rummaging through someone’s background trying to find a “gotcha” argument to take credibility away from what a person is saying, instead of engaging the ideas directly, is what trolls and bad faith actors do. That’s what the twt above does (falsely, I might add–what’s being claimed is untrue).

If you take issue with something I’ve said, you can mute me, unfollow me, ignore me, use TamperMonkey to turn all my twts into gibberish, engage the ideas directly, etc etc etc. There are plenty of options to make what I said go away. Reading through my links, reading about my organization’s CEO’s background, and trying to use that against me somehow (after misinterpreting it no less)? Besides being unacceptable in a rational discussion, and besides being completely ineffective in stopping me from expressing whatever it is you didn’t like, it’s creepy. Don’t do that.

Should we hype this up a bit on twitter? Wonder who finds their way over here the next days.
