Didnt Netflix donate to MAGA?
And their opinion on AI slop etc...makes it hard to feel sorry that MAGA lead by Ketamine boy turn on them to boycott them for a show they cancelled long ago.

But on the other hand, every Anti LGBT movement has to be fought against.

God, the stupidity that gets elected into office. Netflix is not cable, and even if it was, the FCC has zero control over that, and even less so over a streaming service on the internet, since the FCC is so hands-off with the internet in general.

And I really, really want to post this portion because it shows the grandstanding ignorance of what goes on in Congress:

“because the First Amendment and all that is involved in it, of course, but let’s get on it. I’m going to follow up with my folks after we get off, and we’ll call them and say, which committee can they be brought in front of? I think what we have to look at, who regulates the FCC, and since it’s cable, does that count? I don’t know. I don’t know enough about it, but they need to be brought in. We need to find out what their agenda is and why they’re pushing this stuff. Because from what I understand, that little cartoon is apparently the number one rated cartoon they have on on their show. I haven’t seen it. It looks kind of like claymation or something, I’m not really sure.”

For reference: Carr is "running" the FCC, mostly into the ground, but he's a Republican so I have no idea what the hell this guy's going on about.

Without context that's a little passive aggressive, or the wrong kind of sass. Whatever her job is on BS, maybe someone else should be doing the talking to people thing.

From what I understand they changed the rules to allow people to target trans members on Bluesky from off site (like Twitter or wherever) without it being a bannable offense where previously doing so still meant a ban on Bluesky.

In other words, they decided they wouldn't make the effort to protect their members from outside attacks because it's easier that way.

That's unfortunate. Guess people will have to keep looking for a Twitter replacement that's not terrible. BS ain't it.

I would say Threads would probably be a good option, but it's owned by Facebook. (Which also owns Instagram, too.)

I feel like anything owned by billionaire techbros is just not a good long-term solution.

Let's go back to pre-socials internet. RSS feeds maybe.
