Playing Social Control Media 'Games' Instead of Writing Articles

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 14, 2024

If you already have your own site/s (domain/s) with your very own RSS feed/s, then Social Control Media has little or nothing to offer except potential for abuse (directed at oneself).

This following 'chess move' seems to be like a mistake or rather a bit of a miscalculation/distraction: (speaking from personal experience, it's a lot of time-wasting with mobs or connected groupthink)

If you are on Mastodon, you can now follow us there as well.

This is what it looks like right now:

We believe the injurious statements about Richard Stallman have been detrimental to the community and the advancement of software freedom. Our aim is to restore truth, rational discourse, and fairness, in hopes of fostering healthier societies

So now someone will need to run two sites. One is "In Support of Richard Stallman", which is run by oneself, and another is "Stallman Support" (handle @stallmansupport@mastodon.social), which a very censorious German will "moderate" (sometimes belatedly; other instances are federated in the censorship sense). That would foster neither dialogue (shouting match, infighting) nor free speech, it'll facilitate more manipulation of one's voice, visibility etc.

Is This the Year Everyone Quits Social Media?

A bit disappointing. The time taken to set up and "groom" this account could instead be invested in writing good articles. It's called Social Control Media because somebody else will Control this account. Beware "wrongspeak" and "thoughtcrime".

In his public talk in the United States (a few months ago) Daniel Pocock explained to the audience what Social Control Media had done to his posts. His talk wasn't uploaded to Social Control Media, probably because of "CoC". It was CoC versus Pocock. Truth impermissible. Talking about deaths? Please don't!

To follow "Stallman Support" use this RSS feed (the ISP is the only possible MitM and it's extremely rare for ISPs to censor feeds unless the entire domain is blocked for some odd reason).
