"Two Democratic commissioners fired from #ftc.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday fired the only two Democratic members of the Federal Trade Commission, handing the remaining Republican commissioners exclusive control over the agency that oversees antitrust and consumer protection laws and serves as the U.S. government’s primary regulator of the tech industry."

#Please #sell #more of your #cool #stuff and #services and #art and #music en la #fedi.

I will — in #solidarity with your #crass #SelfServing effort to get monetary #permission you use to let others know they're #allowed to give you #food to eat and #housing to sleep under a roof and such without themselves #increasing their #risk under #capitalism of having neither — at least block people who complain about it.

Don't mistake this for endorsing #advertising and #sponsorships, because I do not.

"Running infrastructure for yourself is hard...

Running infrastructure for others is exponentially harder."

💬 #Quotes from @localden

Continued... (hashtags added for #keywords)

"As any forum moderator or administrator can attest, the sheer volume of #spam, #abuse, and just generally #trash #behavior can wear down even the most seasoned veterans of the .com era.

And that’s if we’re talking about #communities that #host tens of thousands of users. Scale that to a few million and there won’t be enough hours in the day to either keep the servers running (stuff is costly too) or to monitor the content for anything potentially harmful or inappropriate.

For anyone that wants to start a #community, it’s a no-brainer that they should probably start somewhere where they can “#outsource” the hard things, like moderation and infrastructure, to someone who is an expert and has built-in mechanisms to handle everything in-house. Especially when the funds for this are at or around zero dollars. That’s a totally reasonable stance to take, and I absolutely get the rationale there.

Not only that, but a lot of the existing ecosystems rest on the shoulders of network effects.

Once everyone you care about is on #Reddit, are you really going to be the only one not on Reddit and try to #bootstrap your own little corner for a specific community? Probably not, and attracting people there would be much harder. Reddit is the one-stop-shop - I can go there for woodworking advice, but I can also chat in #local communities, or communities around collecting #stamps, with the same account and within the same interface. Are you really going to post #photos of your fridge that you want to #sell on your blog and hope that in a year someone discovers it through a Google search? Of course not - you will go to #Facebook #Marketplace or #Craigslist and get it sold within a few days.

You, the #user, are going to go where most people are, because you’re optimizing for #solving your #problems, such as finding like-minded individuals or #selling the fridge quickly and getting it out of your garage to make room for a table saw.

Most people are this way - they don’t care who or how maintains or runs a community or network as long as that place solves the problems they set out to solve. When that #goal overlaps with the company’s desire to make money, you end up in somewhat of a goldilocks zone, but that’s typically a short-lived experience with #modern services. More on that shortly."

As a result of the wave of #Conservative disgust that #PMTrudeau took time off to take his children to the #TaylorSwift concert in #Toronto because he didn't foresee a random riot happening in #Montreal when he purchased the tickets months ago, I'm calling for #PierrePoilievre and the entire #Conservatative party to public declare and sign a #Pledge that if elected they will either #Sell their #Families or put them in #ColdStorage until they leave office and that they will be chained to their desks in Ottawa! This will remove the need for them to spend anytime with family and ensure they are always at there desk if some unforeseen emergency comes up!

Now to assure you that I'm not some monster, this plan will include replacing all their chairs with toilets. 🚽

“Before a targeted #ad appears on an #app or #website, third-party software often embedded in apps called software development kits transmit information about their users to data #brokers, real-time bidding platforms, and ad exchanges—often including #location #data. Data brokers often will collect that data, analyze it, repackage it, and #sell it.”

Now the biter is bit…
