In so many ways it’s because of social media that we have some of the problems we do today in this country. yes it is...but you can see the value of a social media which has some sense of norms.

I realize the sports content is so good but that's like saying you would fight the nazis but you enjoy their music. Many reddit subs are doing this. I feel like if any one site could make an impact, that might be the one. Quote
chasfh Posted January 23 Posted January 23 I don't love the idea of disabling X linking on the site because I like seeing those posts show up in these posts. From an aesthetic standpoint, I think it works well, and honestly, the only time I go to X is to find topical posts to link to here. That said, if a move were made to disable it, I wouldn't leave the site over it. (Sorry about that, guys. 😁) I imagine one way around the Bsky linking problem is to take a screenshot of the post, and then embed a link to it under the screenshot, like so: Quote

romad1 Posted January 23 Posted January 23 As for the social media...we are all hypocrites searching in the dark for honorable answers to crappy situations. Nothing comes from nothing though. Quote
oblong Posted January 23 Posted January 23 I still use X but more for entertainment purposes rather than political or news. Quote
Motown Bombers Posted January 23 Posted January 23 I finally went back to Bluesky. I noticed they have a lot more Lions content than Threads. I completely deleted my Threads account. I kind of liked Threads in the beginning. Quote

When a thread is good, it's really good. But a lot of clickbait and engagement trolls. And they think I really really really like Brie Larson. I mean, I do... but I don't need to see the same photo of her every day. Quote

You can also delete both of them. Meta was already tipping the scales when they decided to suppress political threads. It then just became Instagram without pictures. It had so much potential.

romad1 Posted January 23 Posted January 23 This is a heck of a thread. Jacek Debiec, MD, PhD, DPhil 🌎 🧠: "There was a lot of #AcademicFreedom, good scholarship, and independent thought in German universities before Hitler. After Hitler had risen to power, many academics fled the country. Some resisted the Nazi regime and were persecuted. Most adapted to a new situation. Here are some examples. 1/n" — Bluesky Jacek Debiec, MD, PhD, DPhil 🌎 🧠: "One of Husserl's students, Hannah Arendt, was jailed by the Gestapo for her research on antisemitism prohibited by the Nazis and on her release, fled Germany. “The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.”- Hannah Arendt #AcademicFreedom 3/n" — Bluesky Jacek Debiec, MD, PhD, DPhil 🌎 🧠: "Martin Heidegger, one of Husserl's most brilliant students and Arendt's lover of four years, soon after Hitler got to power, joined the Nazi Party and was elected rector of the Freiburg University. "National Socialism is a barbarous principle. That is its essence and potential greatness." 4/n" — Bluesky Jacek Debiec, MD, PhD, DPhil 🌎 🧠: "After Hitler came to power, Edith Stein, another of Husserl's students, was forced to quit her teaching position. She became a Carmelite nun and perished in Auschwitz. “Those who remain silent are responsible.” - Edith Stein #AcademicFreedom 5/n" — Bluesky Jacek Debiec, MD, PhD, DPhil 🌎 🧠: "After Hitler came to power, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was a Lutheran theologian and pastor, became an anti-Nazi dissident. The Nazis hanged him in 1945. "Silence in the face of evil is itself evil." #AcademicFreedom 7/n" — Bluesky Quote

1776 Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Wow! What a shocking revelation! 🙄 WASHINGTON—The Central Intelligence Agency has now concluded that the deadly Covid pandemic most likely arose from a laboratory leak, according to a statement issued on Saturday by the agency. In doing so, the CIA has now joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Energy Department in identifying a laboratory mishap in Wuhan, China as the probable source of the Covid-19 virus. It has killed more than 1.2 million Americans and over seven million people worldwide. WSJ 1 Quote
