100% they all do it.
I worked in Marketing/Comm at a major university for 10+ years. Wrote brochures, manuals, speeches - and polls. Boss would tell me what their boss wanted the outcome to be, and I had to frame the questions to appear fair, but provide that result.

I really appreciate the transparency.
I do worry a bit, though, because blocking/muting users are the main tools we have to curate our timeline, esp. if we don’t want to turn off echoes. Using those tools doesn’t mean the person behaved badly. They may just post stuff you don’t want to see.

There is an op -- maybe more than one -- in progress to bring down ChBZY. The trolls recognize that Spout, with its fine-tuned AI-boosted moderation, hints that the trolls have no future.

I'm glad Anand was there to push back with MSM audience watching! So difficult to do while being pummelled by false equivalencies. Of course there was no footage of Jewish and Muslim and other students sharing meals and singing together. Antisemitism is NOT the same as being against genocide.

Comment from UAW President Shawn Fain on mass arrests of anti-war protestors:
The UAW will never support the mass arrest or intimidation of those exercising their right to protest, strike, or speak out against injustice.

Unapologetically Beth @bostrawskiMaybe we need an alert account that pins stuff like this so Bouzy doesn't have to say the same thing over and over.04:50 PM - Apr 30, 2024

Yimi_Kyrabo @Yimi_KyraboJudges ruled Trump violated gag order nine times. Charged him $1000 for each violation. Must remove the offending post. Weak if you ask me. Not enough to deter a supposed billionaire.09:51 AM - Apr 30, 2024

Exactly. Trying to add a bunch of features that don't fit will ultimately fail. However, something like TikTok style videos might work.

Magical Mystery Tour (MrG / NAFO) @gvgoebelThat's an interesting idea. It's not realistic to build Spout to compete with every form of social media -- but if limited functionality could be added to usefully extend Spout without changing it into something it isn't -- that might pay dividends.12:30 PM - Apr 29, 2024

"Selective prosecution": It would be impossible to prosecute Trump for every crime he's performed, so we have to be selective.

The things Robinson is saying is not 'culture war' commentary and should not be normalized. Politically he is a fascist, with all of the policy implications that brings. Women are 2nd class citizens and the property of men, and his statements on school shootings are devoid of empathy.

We patched the vulnerability, notified our users, and held a Pod within 12 hours of being notified. We partnered with two security companies within 30 days of the incident. I am not sure how we could've handle it better.

In this article, the author points out the CEO of Post News barley used the platform; I had no idea. She did have some positive comments regarding Spoutible, but also repeated the false narrative we handle our security incident poorly. The majority of our users would disagree with that assessment.
