  • Honestly, I think it’s massively significant. For a start off, that’s 20 million people, the population of Chile, in one quarter. That’s a lot of people regardless of how you slice it.

    But more to the point, Meta services - Facebook especially - have reached a point of cultural impact where anyone who doesn’t have them can’t be talked into getting them anyway. Plus, they’re useful messaging services too, because everyone else uses them. Their popularity has become self-fulfilling. The idea of Meta losing more users than it’s gaining at all has been frankly unthinkable until recently.




  • Is that true? I’m actually floored by the idea of trying to doxx the Wikipedia editors. That’s some of the most shameless anti-intellectualism and psychopathy I’ve ever heard of.

    But to answer your question directly while I process that, yes, I think moving their location to Denmark or anywhere in Europe would be an absolute victory. The only thing that’s stopped me from donating to Wikipedia is the thought that it’d get taxed and Trump would pocket some of it. While financially, the US government may not lose much, it’s a massive reputational loss, and sets the stage for other companies to do the same.







  • Direct messages and servers that are not age-restricted will continue to function normally

    So in other words, if you only use Discord as a messaging app and for small servers between friends, this won’t affect you?

    I honestly have no idea why Discord started trying to push itself as some normal social media like Facebook, and why people started treating it as such. Discord was a glorified telephone line with gifs and web links. I don’t need some manufactured sense of “community” among thousands of people who happen to watch the same YouTuber as me.
