If you’re still posting here, I hope you realize you’re actively enabling far-right movements and fascistic propaganda. It’s built into the platform itself. piped.video/p7ZG_xWYLzI

If you're still active here, now would be a good time to figure out what your line is when it comes to Elon's actions – assuming you have one. Because no matter what it is, I guarantee it will get crossed before long.

Fuck. Didn’t need that on top of everything else.
Congrats President Trump 🇺🇸 Excited about the impact 𝕏, prediction markets, citizen journalism, podcasts, and the open web played in fostering democracy and a free media. It's a new world.

I gave up X for 6 months this year, then tried it again for a while. It's not worth it. I don't want to be a part of supporting fascism or white nationalism, even a tiny amount. You can find me on Mastodon or Bluesky instead: front-end.social/@sachagreif bsky.app/profile/sachagreif.…

If for whatever unfathomable reason you're even considering voting for Trump – here's reason #538 not to: he doesn't need your vote, he can just make up votes on his own. piped.video/watch?v=AbFc9T7K…

For a while we've been collecting comments on every question (as a way to catch any relevant feedback respondents might have), but this will be the first time we're actually exposing that data publicly. Turns out some topics generate a lot of discourse! (118 comments here)

this honestly feels like it wouldn't have happened before the Trump era. This is the same now-familiar "ends justify the means" self-righteousness that lets people blow off any social norms, even at the cost of their own reputation…

I thought @photomatt's behavior was already pretty egregious, but forcing me to agree with @dhh is one step too far
"That's the deal. That's open source. I give you a gift of code, you accept the terms of the license. There cannot be a second set of shadow obligations that might suddenly apply, if you strike it rich using the software. Then the license is meaningless." world.hey.com/dhh/automattic…

startup idea (which I'm sure has been tried countless time before): Twitter DMs but you have to pay $1 each time you DM a new person.

12 years ago when I announced @Ghost, I got the most criticism for this line of my original blog post: "No corporate arm of the law. Ghost would be free as in Mozilla, not as in Automattic ... Every decision made would be about improving the software, not the bottom line." Maybe now you can see why I wrote it. Ghost was very deliberately set up as a single-entity non-profit foundation: - No investors. - No commercial entity wheeling and dealing in the background with shady tactics. - No conflicts of interest around ownership of trademarks & domains. I don't personally own anything to do with Ghost. The Foundation owns everything, and it has no share capital, so I own zero shares. If anyone is considering starting a new CMS project and would like any advice, let me know. I'm happy to share the many mistakes we made, and the things I think we got right. The web needs more independent organisations, and it needs more diversity. 40% of the web and 80% of the CMS market should not be controlled by any one individual. If you don't like the way things are working, make something new and show the world how much better things can be by setting an example of how they can be done differently. You don't need permission. Share your ideas, and see where they take you.
