Btw, rumors have been swirling about the Future of Humanity Institute shutting down(!!)–I’ve heard this from multiple people at this point. Does anyone have any extra info they can share with me? Off the record or in confidence would be fine. DM or email me!
I wouldn’t know anything about the thread, as it’s impossible for me to read without a twitter account. Yet another reason why the site is trash.
But by all means, go on generating content for a bigoted fascist who will use everything you write to increase engagement with his platform and give it undeserved credibility and $$$.
(And no, I won’t block you.)
iirc it costs twitter a lot of money via computing resources when you block a lot of people (this also explains why musk randomly goes on anti blocking as a concept periods, because he doesn’t care ideologically, it just is expensive) so blocking a few tens of thousand people, and installing a good adblocker might make you a net negative source of cash for twitter. Not that I think it is going well with the massive amount of bots on there (including a big amount of them verified, im amazed the site is still going on).
I run Blue Blocker and I’ve blocked somewhere over 200k so far, but that’s just because I work hard as a hater
I try to be more Artisinal in my blocking. I even light some candles every time I block somebody. For which I might need some help budget wise.
