Maybe Elon is noticing that advertisers don’t like social sites that are cesspools of hate?

He’s reminding her that in the hierarchy of bigotry, misogyny outranks transphobia.

That’s how I see it. All the vile, hateful shit on Xitter, and he’s telling Rowling to smile more. I mean, let them fight, but Christ what an asshole.

She’s surely enthusiastic to receive the abuse too as on some level she seems to truly believe that it is the natural order of men and women to abuse each other and impose a rigid sex based system of oppression on each other.
It is so bizarre to watch some one employ such extreme negativity, sexist thinking, and deep misogyny in the name of feminism. But I guess no weirder than watching Musk censor people in the name of free speech.
Just two nasty rich narcissists living out their miserable fantasies at the expense of random people whose lives they will never have to acknowledge…

This is the core belief set of Terfism. You’ve summed it up in one sentence. Its analysis is as deep and as clear as a puddle.
This is all they have. A gross parody of class analysis with women as the eternal victim, constantly oppressed by the grand conspiracy of the Y chromosome.
It’s as pathetic as it sounds, and it would be laughable if it didn’t cause real harm to so many people.

i was thinking the other day how the time between now and my first hacker conference is about the same distance in time as from then to the very early 90s – as in the Mosaic days.

The social cost for being misogynistic/homophobic/transphobic/racist/fascist/etc online was nil for so long that it has reached a tipping point and spilled over into the offline world. Now those people are buying social media platforms. Bills are past due. A price needs to be paid for antisocial behavior. Individuals need to be held accountable for hate speech. Corporations that foster it deserve the death penalty.

The US used to have a death penalty for fucked corporations. The gov’t would take over and shut them down.
We really fucking need to start doing that agian.

Even if it’s not, the only thing that is lost is a fraction of the wealth of people that already have too much god-damn money.

Usenet groups usually had good moderators. Those that didn’t turned into cesspools of spam and hate.

It was, but Usenet reader software didn’t throw it in your face on the timeline.
