I think their defense of "Free Speech" rights for not filtering or analyzing any paid advertising is immoral and corrupt.

Rotten, even. Just to keep the cash flow in. So, not excusable in a Publisher situation like the hosts of such media social sites in truth are.

@realcaseyrollins

@freemo @realcaseyrollins Because the large social media networks are all corporate owned and profit driven, we have scandalous episodes like the Cambridge Analytica one.

Then again, State sponsored efforts at manipulating people's minds, via ad campaigns, and troll farm actions. The FSB is very active on this front.

I don't comdemn them for this, as the opposing side has done the same in different ways, besides openly funding insurrection and regime change campaigns in many places.

See also : Chile, 1973. Assassination of a President, inside the saet of government, funded by foreign interests including corporate ones. Ford Foundation for example.

Chile suffered a lot, and now is once again in turmoil, as the injustice and myseries caused by the economic policies spearheaded by the Chicago School, and first implemented in post coup Chile, lead to tremendous disparity and unrest in the country.

"No Pasarán!" (they shall not Pass!), a nice photograph, appears to be Madrid, Spain during the 1936 Civil War conflict.

A period not well known in general, but important as it marked the preliminary struggle against Fascism, which evolved into full blown World Wide struggle during WWII period.

Thank you!

@freemo @realcaseyrollins I think Casey's reference to the Tech high level people is in terms of their social media owned sites being controlled by algorithms, and allowing advertising pretty much unfiltered (facebook), opposing any regulations of such ads (facebook again), or making complete exemption of content regulations for celebrities (twitter, see trump's own mouthpiece and how it clashes with stated site TofC).

All of that corporate soc media is a dump, imo, I like some of the media present in twitter (and sadly not here, for now, as this network is still small).

@Tambe @Lyudmila Si ellos atacan a los israelenses, ellos empezan una guerra nuclear por cierto. Tienen un gran arsenal.

@punkymcmunky Oh, I had the opposite problem, a day that found me low energy throughout, and in bed by 8 pm.

Feel much better now, and been online since early. Many posts followed, blog od the day pendin, idea in hand.

Good Morning, PM. 😃 🌄

@realcaseyrollins LOL, I like it too.

Our new Spanish members are an active bunch, although not as much locally, but we can try and establishing some conversations with them too.

Miss some really nice users, like @Full_marx

@realcaseyrollins "FakeNews"for me is the Facism's current way of trying to discredit opposition and legitimate media, information, without any real argument or discussion.

The person most in the spot light in the current Fascism movements is a regrettable choice, imo. Shocking that people fall for such base level arguments and manipulation.

@realcaseyrollins That site is on my radar screen too - we had users reporting their content.

I am not pleased with what I saw there, lewd things with children images. Borderline criminal, imo.

Luckily we have the option and the power to fully block any instances as Users - and I do use that.

Will prepare a blog post on Content Filtering and Blocking, my To Do list is merciless, but I like to have those done.

@realcaseyrollins The discussion is open for hashtag suggestions. Ideal if we can find a nice and easy, catchy one.

Too common a word links in unrelated content. At TW, we share the #slowly tag with many unrelated things and people who are clueless and just add a # to every word (a detestable feature on Insta).

So, we can work on getting a nice one - I think maybe two short words might avoid this un-related content beign caught in the net.

@realcaseyrollins Putting in my full days and doing different things.

* writing is a passion, and my blog is very satisfying. Goal, one new post a day, it takes a toll since I am always picky with my work.

* fedi presence is a fun trip. Now in various locations and learning everyday.

* building up communities is the most important part of a staff person in any organization, and I do my best, not only here at Qoto, but wherever my various accounts are present.

@realcaseyrollins You are unbelievable, Casey. Way to go.

Now, do you get enough sleep to keep up both the social media and Fedi presence, and the academic life?

That is some energy. 👍

@SecondJon That is a quick summary yes.

Some call this attack an Act of War, which seems legit. Expect a response.

Israel sits on a large and undisclosed nuclear arsenal. Middle East is listed as location for Armageddon, so...

@Kike5550 Buens, Kike, muy linda esa foto. Gracias! Donde és ?

@QuimChaves Hola, Joaquim, bienvenido a Qoto y al Fediverso.

I speak English mostly, but Spanish is good to practice and improve my fluency.
