And it looks like Hacker News/Y Combinator has the same disturbing problem as Meta and the rest of GAFAM/BigTech. Anything criticizing Israel or giving voice to Palestinians is quickly flagged and censored.


Worth noting the Sheryl Sandberg produced “Screams before Silence” which featured many debunked claims about Oct 7.


Meta means dead in Hebrew


I refuse to fuck with the socials, so I am unencumbered by the moral and ethical dilemma of disengaging.

On the one hand I want to say: fuck the socials! to these victims, but it's more complex when you are already a participant.

At that point you have to wonder if you are being pushed out of a space you want to engage in, and by leaving, you are fulfilling the desire of those in control of it to be a place where your experience is abnegated.

Do you stay to be a light in the darkness the platform is casting on those experiences for the others that remain on the platform?

But I always return to money. Engaging in harmony or engaging in opposition, either way, the unethical sociopaths who are making these decisions benefit.

Is the best technoactivism creating an alternative in your likeness?

What terrible thing to say to the victims.
