Poll: get rid of the Tweet (X?) Deck on the side of the main page

I like that idea of a Agree & Disagree tab. Rather than just a Like tab.

 

Talking about a corporation is politically motivated?

 

Hatred is a strong word, but you aren't tired of him, hearing from and about him? It's almost as bad as the Jesus stuff and Trump when he was relevant. It's like we're a captive audience, no, no, no, I'll tell you what it's like:

it's as if the zoo animals are visiting us whenever they feel like it instead of us visiting them.

Also (on topic): I liked the Twitter/X feed before the tweets/exes quit loading...

 

That's stupid though..... it's a social media site. The whole point of a social media site is to..... socialize.

Would you come on this site if you could only view a certain number of posts or could only post on here a couple times per day?

 

If it prevented people from creating censorship algorithms (via data scraping/mining for language models) being unleashed on humanity, or even slowed that down, I absolutely would.

Freedom of speech and free exchange of ideas was quite literally a foundational principle of this country that close to everyone agreed on my entire life until very, very recently. Ironically, it was the Right who used to argue for censorship, but now that the Neo-Left (this is why I no longer identify as Left despite being an environmentalist, and someone who believes in equal access and equal opportunity despite our skin suits) does it, suddenly its a good thing. This despite censorship being the hallmark and bedrock of quite literally every totalitarian regime in all of history. It turns out if you repackage totalitarianism in a Trojan horse of compassion, quite a few people will buy it hook, line and sinker. Of course every regime in history has always said they were censoring "for your protection to protect you from false information". The thing is, the Truth doesn't need protection, it just needs time and to compete against lies. It always, always wins. Which is why totalitarian regimes always, always push censorship. Lies need protection, the truth does not.

So yeah, I definitely would come here if it helped to remove the scourge of automated censorship and the slippery slope to totalitarianism that will inevitably flow from that. People on here know a lot about sports, but it sure seems that quite a few folks on here know history, or they are willfully blind about what has been happening the past especially 3 years, and how the very same movements I once wholeheartedly supported have been captured by vast corporate power emanating from Davos/WEF. I won't comment in here further, so feel free to have the last word.

 

Not really. Then again, he doesn't really register for me.

 

Ironically, the fact that you think that is a side-effect of censorship of history.

 

I guess these algorithms are over my head because capping how much information people can view is censorship….. right now. So essentially we are fighting censorship with censorship? That seems pretty stupid to me.

 

Is the cap a number that an individual can read per day?

If the cap is 10k tweets or something - I don't consider that to be "censorship". No human can read that much. The cap is just to prevent bots and AI mining.

 

I think many people are confused by this thread. I read it as a request to get rid of the twitter thing on the right side of ripcitytwo.com homepage. I think some posters think people are talking about getting rid of all of twitter.

 

Yes that's what it was. https://www.engadget.com/twitter-pu...tweets-users-can-read-each-day-182623928.html

Twitter has begun aggressively limiting how many tweets users can view per day. On Saturday afternoon, Elon Musk said the company would restrict unverified accounts to reading 600 posts per day and new accounts to only 300 tweets daily. Meanwhile, Twitter will allow verified accounts to read 6,000 posts each day. For most people, that means, short of paying for Twitter Blue, they can spend about a minute or two on Twitter before encountering a "rate limit exceeded" error. Less than two hours later, Musk said Twitter would "soon" ease the limits to 8,000 for verified accounts and 800 for those without Twitter Blue.

 

Well, the problem is that the thing on the side broke BECAUSE of Elon screwing with Twitter... I'm sorry.... XXX

Is Elon the tiger?

 

Free speech was a close to universally held belief across both parties. Only the fringe among regular folk supported it until very recently (people in power very often love censorship regardless of the party for example the Pentagon Papers showing censorship of information during the Vietnam war that's an example of Right Wing censorship). Now censorship has is more widely accepted in the US by regular people than ever before and unfortunately, that’s just a fact.

 

That’s NOT censorship. They aren’t deleting tweets based on content (which they were pre-Elon). They are limiting the overall number of tweets an individual account can read to prevent data scraping that was being used to create ultra complex language models for automated AI censorship which Davos openly states they want to roll out. What you said is like saying the public library having a limit on how many books you can check out is censorship.
