Tumblr post:
First poster says "Let history remember that the first thing the world's richest man destroyed once he got unfettered access to power was food for starving kids and medicjne for the world's poorest people."

"The cruelty of racist white men."

A second person says "Does anyone else remember when Elon was like 'If anyone knows how to end world hunger for 6 billion USD, I'll fund it' and UNICEF was like 'we're going to spend a month to make a plan to end world hunger for 6 billion USD and Elon is going to fund it' and Elon was like 'actually, nah' and then bought Twitter instead?

"I think that was one of the worst things I'll ever see in my life."

A third user says "I still think that should be the thing for which he's the most famous. It should bd brought up every time he's mentioned. In any news article, any interview, any history book. 'Elon Musk, who was offered the chance to end wotld hunger and turned it down.' Put it on his fucking gravestone."

And so it begins. Honestly I thought we had a few more hours. Today creators all over the app picked up on clues indicating that the pesky 20% stock congress had issue with *might have* been bought out by Meta. Things aren't looking great for free speech or the so-called "fair market," folks.

If you want to be a part of the *worldwide* marches tomorrow for free speech and reversing the Tiktok ban, this is what you need map.wewontgoback.com/local

Here's an idea. How about we start January 19 and then just... Keep going. Meta lobbied hard for the Tiktok ban, so let Meta's shareholders feel the consequences of that and other recent business decisions (like removing protections for trans folx and immigrants in moderation policies).

Lights out META

Section 1 seems especially applicable too, regarding what he has stated are his plans on day 1:

Amendment XIV

Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

I never listened to Kavinsky before, but since I was accused already... I kind of like it

@peace-pangolin.bsky.social was going to sub to your Gender Denialists blocklist, but found @majima.club , a person who obviously does not belong on the list. Do you vett accounts on the blocklists? Or is it all automated?

Jack @contrapunktus.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

Based on my *somewhat extensive* conversation with the maker of the "followers of thelibsoftiktok" list, I am now pretty certain they have automated this list with no vetting process to speak of. There are likely others I have missed. This kind of lazy blocklist is irresponsible and untrustworthy

It's still advertised in the banner on the main page though

Screenshot of Wikipedia article on The Paradox of Tolerance that says "The paradox of intolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance. This paradox was articulated by philosopher Karl Popper in The Open Society and It's Enemies (published 1945), where he argued that a truly tolerant society must not tolerate those who promote intolerance. Popper posited that if intolerant ideologies are allowed unchecked expression, they could exploit open society values to ride or destroy tolerance itself through authoritarian or oppressive practices."
