This is why we need free speech avenues such as #mastodon and the rest of the #fediverse

*Sees the shiny, gold speech bubble*

*Reaches for uBlock*

*hides the "Promote" button*

*hides the speech bubble for good measure*

"Replycator" accounts rip content off other accounts and repost as their own while reply spamming, attempting to farm and agitate Western right-wing audiences, including in the UK, while originating in places like India. I present three examples among those I identified and analysed using OSINT.

If the Swasticar makers are doing this, are they also manipulating readouts to prompt Tesla owners to bring in their cars for "servicing" when there is actually nothing wrong? Tesla has opened a big can of worms here.
This is DOGE and Donald Trump.

Tesla is facing a class action suit in California for hacking its car odometers to more quickly reach the limits of Tesla's vehicle warranty.
These are the geniuses Leon has also employed for DOGE. They are so smart that they decide to pull a fraud that is clearly measurable (and noticeable) and easily confirmed. Maybe this will put Tesla in the ground.

I assumed #xitter still did this but #DouglasMurray complained about not being able to stop the service from pushing crazy shit at him he didn't ask for, and #JoeRogan and #DaveSmith agreed.

That's not free speech. Only the #SocialWeb is capable of that, if we can learn to only moderate for harassment. #fediblockmeta

on recent news about BS (Bluesky) banning Turkish opposition accounts:

the worst part about it is that they flocked there from Xitter to BS in last months because Musk has been doing this since 2023 and ramped it up in last few months.

now BS is mirroring this.

we now know that BS, aside from "Bluesky", stands for: bullshit. which is basically a definition of their speech how decentralised Bluesky is.

so JD Vance basically told the EU, he & Trump will destroy #NATO and sic #nuclear #bombs on them, if the union won’t let #Facebook #Meta #Google #Alphabet #Twitter #Xitter #Microsoft #OpenAI #Amazon #Apple and the Silicon Valley fascistocracy, traffic Europeans digitally and rob them of their lives & livelyhoods.

because let me be clear: they aren't trafficking our "data". they are trafficking us.

turning humans into tradeable assets is a cornerstone of #slavery

I've spent WAY too much time arguing with an anti-EV nob on #Lemmy over the last few days.

I just eyebrow raised over someone claiming removal of #Ghiblitheft #AI images on #Mastodon was censorship.

I think Fedi has "arrived" folks. The #trolls are here. They are small in numbers for sure, but given the echo chambers places like #Xitter must be now, and FB hopefully has less active users given how hate speech is now actively approved there, then some shitheads have gone looking for a fight with ethical people elsewhere.

Sigh.

I have 2-3 really sweet people on #Xitter and I was actually keep posting there just for them. But I'm also self censoring myself there because there are also friends & some people I've worked in other projects from my earlier life who doesn't know that I'm into wild stuff like #hentai & #guro

Good morning Screw everyone who put digital art and and Gen Ai slop to same basket. Ignorant pieces of

Elon Musk, who already suggested Tesla invest in xAI, is now setting the stage for the public company under his control to grossly overpay for xAI, a private company under his control that just absorbed Twitter (X).
