OP should try Truth Social, I hear it's technically a Mastodon fork...

Damn, I didn't know he got Chris Chan'd. Ugh. So fucking tragic.
Are they getting too high on their own products?
Yes and they literally have turned the idea of Admin Rights into the Divine Right of Kings.
"I know how to be an admin, thus I should run the fucking world."
When Cisco helped roll out The Great Firewall of China, they made great pains to explain that all they were actually doing was setting up the hardware and software to do what they were already designed to do. Computers and computer networks were never designed to be democratic in nature at all. Now that computers run the world, these jabronis think they deserve to be the Kings of it all.
Kevin Rose and Alexis Ohanian bought Digg together. They are relaunching it together. I am saying people are attacking the new Digg without considering that maybe, just maybe, Ohanian could be a good steward of a new social media site. I am willing to wait and see, I think he could potentially do good works in this space.
It really helps to read articles or watch the newsclips associated with such news.
He is a cofounder of this new Digg. He is involved with buying the site along with Kevin Rose.
No... Lemmy users and internet people in general are attacking this reformation of Digg and acting like Alexis Ohanian continues to be a piece of shit and that we should expect the same fast path to enshittification.
I have a hard time thinking that after a long-term relationship with Serena Williams that Ohanian is so out of touch and unable to produce something good. Like I said I am cautiously optimistic
Everyone acts like Alexis Ohanian is an untrustworthy piece of shit because he was a reddit founder.
He is married to Serena Williams. Williams has been a focal point of hate from the right wing for decades (including internationally). Literally years of unnecessary hate and derision on her because she didn'f fit stereotypical beauty guidelines and is a badass tennis player (a very white dominated sport). She also literally has first hand experience of having her medical issues ignored by doctors during her pregnancy, which happens at a far greater rate for black women.
Williams may be rich, but she was never obscene rich, and she got where she was squarely off her real talents. She also was part of a Superbowl show which made a point to critique where America is at and where it is headed, particularly in respect to race relations. A superbowl show that made right wingers collectively melt down.
I'm saying people are acting like she, a black woman who has experienced direct adversity from the right-wing, has no impact on how Ohanian conducts himself or how he approaches life, and that we should expect the same-old, same-old techbro bullshit from him. I just don't think that's the case after they've been married so long.
Look I get why everybody wants to shit all over this, and for good reasons.
But we can't all be like "Kendrick Lamar's Superbowl performance was a deep political critique on the problems in America and the resurgence of a racial divide in America!" that literally featured Serena Williams crip walking, and turn around and act like she has zero influence on her husband Alexis Ohanian, his politics, or his understanding of where America is at.
I am cautiously optimistic.
The only reason I have any hope for this is hoping Alexis Ohanians wife (Serena Williams) has been a good influence on him and making him understand how bad things really are right now.
Mike Masnick is a good egg, which makes him valuable in times like these... Just like good eggs.
I mean, yeah, but it's where they would actually find conservatives...
