Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Did he ever possess a different world view? Or did we assume someone in tech in early 2000s must be actually smart and not a bad person, only to find out they're a piece of shit a la, Zuck, Dorsey, Musk, etc.
Remember there was a time we didn't know everything about these people and the notion that they were creating these platforms and industries for the betterment of man kind didn't seem so crazy.
Now we know every last one of them is a money obsessed freak with entire cemeteries in their closets, touting "Effective Altruism" or "Rationalism" or whatever new fad fake philanthropists are claiming this quarter.
Probably they didn't change at all but their influence scaled up. Lying to a person or to a million people doesn't carry the same weight
My god, people here are STILL struggling with the idea that their perspective isn't absolute, and that they actually need to investigate the world to truly know things about it, instead of just relying upon the social media hive mind to tell them truth from fiction.
He did make those claims himself, in the past. Which of course means fucking nothing, because actions speak louder
What’d Dorsey do?
Well his general leadership of Twitter.
His absolutist take on "Free Speech" that allowed alt right and Nazi groups to flourish and spread on his platform
Then the eventual sale to Elon Musk, where he kept acting like he had no choice/no say in the sale.
left bluesky and endorsed X b/c bluesky decided to do moderation
You do realize there's way more people in tech than those types of people?
You do realize we're not talking about those people right?
