With the number of trackers on most sites you usually get a performance boost with an extension vetting each network call

He writes all day. He can’t have time to listen to anyone with his volume of output :D

The thing is it’s profitable because they pay themselves less than they make in income. We don’t really know how sustainable their pay is

Lack of anecdotes and data definitely isn’t data.

There’s an argument to be made here but the OP hasn’t made it, just asserted a well written evidenced post is written by an idiot

He has literal examples of head count increasing due to this use of ai, he’s not the idiot here.

I think you have to look at the money here. The most charitable view for substack is their payment provider doesn’t ban Nazis, and their VC funders don’t want them to ban Nazis, and so they don’t really have a choice.

I think substack is well up for being a nazi bar based on what they’ve said so I’m happy to give them some blame but I won’t be letting the other two off the hook either.

Google does put pressure on delivery though, it sends notifications like oh you haven’t posted today, that’s not good and might mean you show up lower on searches.

If we spent our lives reading every musk article shoved into our feeds we’d all starve from having no time to eat

What do you think you are leaving behind? Your posts? Do you often go back and edit yours??

You take your network with you which is what people want to bring.

Just follow them from *@bird.makeup, unless it’s talking back to them you value

You should try the sign up process, you don’t understand it. Explore tab shows you top posts on your instance to follow and no one posts links to masto comments because it doesn’t look good.

The only actually confusing thing is people trying to quote tweet when it isn’t possible, and maybe losing followers when there’s server defed drama. Thankfully there hasn’t been any recently.

But you can move to another server, you just can’t take old posts with you

It can link first by IP address, and then by fingerprinting.

Best to use unlock origin etc. to block all those little buttons. Don’t even connect to their server
