@Economic_Hitman @mrmcmayhem I was thinking last week of starting up a video channel to drop some of my own prognostications and although I appreciate the reach of YouTube I'm thinking now just avoid entirely and go to Bitchute (which I keep thinking of as Buttchute which is entirely inappropriate)

@mrmcmayhem @Economic_Hitman @TomNovak

Just a cursory search makes me think SPLC - I don't know if they have a newsletter or anything but I'd imagine they'd take some credit

@ScottALavender @HiroProtagonist Name the demon. Chris Murphy is a punk.

@SpookyR It's pretty deep. I think the Senator from Connecticut is thinking that legislation is needed because the soc nets don't act fast or strong enough.

The Reason write up is far less sanguine

@SpookyR I agree with you that it's best to let these platforms go and that's why I deleted Faceborg like 8 years ago.

But I think we have to realize we can't put the genie back in the bottle. We have to figure out how to live with it.

When the legislation comes, we'll flood them on every avenue. The one that really makes them sit up and notice is when you saturate the phone switches for Congress.

@SpookyR Yea, I really try to keep off a bunch of it, but there's something very real real to people with the power to pass legislation pushing the idea to silence people. The legislation is coming. That's the Rubicon.

I think part of the problem with social media is the disconnect from real world consequences. Maybe I should take a long lunch, Uber over to Cap Hill, find this guy and tell him what a piece of 💩I think he is for what he said.

@PakkonenCT @HiroProtagonist @PhoneBoy So you think it's just a coincidence they all decided to pull the plug at the same time? Facebag just HAD to virtue signal at 3am?

@HiroProtagonist @PhoneBoy All of it, all at once. I don't think that say Apple and Google are colluding here, but it's very obvious that someone, somewhere is leaning on them.

@voidzero
Given how these server banlists are kinda similar to the old days of blackholing spam domains, I think it shows how the thinking of this NYT editor goes talked about on Sunday's show. The "problem" is so uncontained that simply trusting someone's naughty list is a good idea.

There's some thinking that this may be influencing the algos into silencing folks on Twitter because of this same banlist mentality.

@aven It's a hard problem to solve. There are alternatives to all of these platforms out there already but the special sauce is not the service but the scale they operate at. But even then, there's too much first mover advantage. There was a talk by a high level Google+ exec where he asked his daughter why no one wanted to use it. She said because her friends were already on Facebook.

@aven one of the better rants from The Shirtless One.

Any kind of utility approach would need to take into account scale. So where do you draw the line? It would be a disaster if every Mastodon/GNUSocial/etc admin had to comply with the same standards as Twitter.

Didn't the show come to the conclusion that Anonymous was taken down and is essentially a front for spooks?

@mrmcmayhem @DrChris @sobr I haven't listened to the seedman in a long time but way back when 7-8 years ago he knew they couldn't rely on those platforms and so unless "they" figure out how to boot infowars.com off DNS, he'll still be out there. And there are alt-tech platforms out there but they will continue to be small potatoes because the content is too narrow.

@DrChris @sobr I don't think you need a theory to speculate that there's a conspiracy here when after being around for years InfoWars gets removed from all the platforms at roughly the same time. There is some coordinator of outside pressure. What's most disturbing is how *not* transparent these companies are.
