A site called mastinator.com has started aggregating and republishing toots without permission. It creates accounts with your handle and follows you to get your toots (e.g., @aral@mastinator.com, which, just to make clear, is not me).

Short rant.
Southwest Air has cancelled ~70% of its flights in an epic meltdown this holiday season.
Remember, Southwest took $3.7B in federal aid from 2020-21.
It’s CEO got a pay raise to a $9.1M package in 2022.
Yet Southwest employees are working 16 hour shifts & threatened w/termination if they refuse overtime or call in sick.
Socialism for the wealthy. Capitalism for workers.
Stop trusting billionaires. Start holding them accountable. And start protecting workers.
End Rant.

Notified Experian on Dec. 23 that their site was allowing anyone to see the credit report for, well, basically anyone, completely bypassing their lame 4-5 multiple guess questions and other security.
Or even in cases (like mine) where trying to get your credit report generates an error saying you have 3 other options for getting your free report from them (calling, mailing, or chat w/ rep). The site said Experian didn't have enough info to validate my identity, but when I changed the url slightly, it showed me my entire report. Glad I checked, too, because the info in there is so completely wrong I don't even know where to start.
So it's Dec. 27, and I still haven't heard anything from Experian.
It's bad enough that we can't stop companies like from making $2B a quarter collecting and selling our info, but this has to stop. Experian has show this year especially that it gives exactly zero fscks about securing access to the data that drives its entire business.

@ABecenti@newsie.social I think a lot of the time people feel it is someone else's job to rescue them from situations they got them selves in to due to stupidity.
Common sense and modern social media don't really correlate together very well.
@caspian Excellent words there and lets build something far far better than what is available.
Hopefully the videos on my peertube account are useful I intend making more over time,

I think we should all be clear on the stakes.
Journalists who cover Elon Musk had their accounts suspended *last week*.
Twitter announced a policy disallowing outlinks to other social networks at the same time.
They are giving full access to DMs and private accounts to conservative journalists.
It is a really fucked-up system. It's not just another social network.

Pay attention to who they’re giving a platform to over at Fox News. Listen to their hateful, dehumanizing rhetoric. Then speak out against it forcefully.

@ashton This is a true reflection of how the west is in 2022 going in to 2023, boosting for reach, so people know about this sort of thing.
Time for some real changes.
