Extremely disappointed in NPR Weekend Edition Sunday reporting on new Threads app. It was a gushing advertisement for the latest corporate grab to control the Internet which totally ignored critical privacy issues. And on top of that, they didn’t even mention Mastodon which is now 13 million users strong!

@selzero Freedom of Speech: yes, but it is not absolute. You may say you don’t like a person or group, but you should not vilify or dehumanize them and you may certainly not advocate for taking away their rights or their total removal from society.

@ayeayerobot @JGRW @chmod777 Such a desperate plea for attention. Makes me question whether they know anything about brewing beer that they have to resort to troll-level promotion tactics. πŸ™„

As a railroader who recently weathered a very similar struggle, I am expressing my solidarity with #UPS workers in their struggle to get a fair contract. If your Scamazon package takes a little longer to get to your home later this year because they’re on strike, suck it up and maybe take a moment to appreciate what those people do for our economy. #labor #UPSstrike
