@baiaphilia @readingquietly @ProtonMail Thank you. I'm a ProtonMail user, and I kind of suspected that their nice act was just that - an act. Thank you for confirming my suspicions.
I guess the moral of this story is that we shouldn't trust anybody working in the Cloud, ever.
@baiaphilia @readingquietly @ProtonMail Looking at Grok's explanation of that last tweet, I see that he thinks it's just about privacy concerns. Well, yes, those, but so much more.
@baiaphilia @readingquietly @ProtonMail Let's think about the horror stories we've heard from past generations of users, compare them to our own, and ask ourselves if anything really seems to have been getting any better over the years.
@SomeBitchIIKnow Of course you can say it ... over on Gab.
@SomeBitchIIKnow Then you can connect to it via an interstitial page linking to your Gab post, warning the sensitive traveler of the soul shattering consequences of following the link to your Gab post, and urging him to turn back now, before grief counselors have to be brought in.
@SomeBitchIIKnow Adding that by ignoring this heartfelt warning, the reader would be forfeiting all rights to complain about the content ahead to X'itter, his mother, or anybody else and be taken seriously, because he would be consenting to the psychological trauma awaiting him by doing so.
Whatever you just did absolutely broke Gab for me. When I try going to my account
it instantly redirects me to
https;//gab.com/
where I am given an offer to put Gab on my non-existent cell phone, but no login option.gab.com/microbitch
@BasedTorba By "instantly," I meant "in a bit less than a second,
so perhaps "almost instantly" would have been a more accurate way of putting it, if anybody wishes to split hairs.
@BasedTorba During that fraction of a second, I can see that I still appear to be logged in, but thanks to the redirection, I can't post anything or do anything on your site.
@SomeBitchIIKnow For example, let's take a look at this comment about my content ...
"Thoughtful but polarizing topics like immigration or COVID could spark backlash"
My content about Covid has consisted of criticism of bad science.
@SomeBitchIIKnow For me to stay quiet about those, while in my own academic lane, would be to engage in a breach of basic academic ethics. There's even an expression for what's being asked of me: it's called "intellectual prostitution."
is what Gary posted after I expressed my anger toward him in response to the insult above, in a pair of tweets that I deleted a few minutes later. Can anybody still seriously doubt that this guy is a troll?
@GaryAmbrosia @SomeBitchIIKnow Look at how much pleasure this lowlife got out of the anger he inspired in me, after he followed his unprovoked attack on L with condescension in response to a simple, reasonable question - "why are you acting like this."
Basically.
@GaryAmbrosia @SomeBitchIIKnow Not just a troll. A terminally online troll who, two days before Thanksgiving, was sitting there, waiting for them, as he responded to them within that very narrow window of opportunity. Suggesting that he had nowhere else to be, all day.
@GaryAmbrosia @SomeBitchIIKnow @NeverRelax1095 Girl. I'm female. I say so right in my bio, so I guess plenty gets past you, Gary.
And I put that question to you directly, so that you could not claim that I had replied to you in bad faith, and be taken seriously.
@GaryAmbrosia @SomeBitchIIKnow @NeverRelax1095 So, on what basis did you direct that insulting comment at L? Certainly, as one can see from the receipt of the discussion she was in
@GaryAmbrosia @SomeBitchIIKnow @NeverRelax1095 ... turns up nothing. You have not had even a single word to say to the troll who instigated the fight, yet here we saw you suggest that L must have been drunk at a time when she did nothing more than stand up for herself.
How do you explain this troll-friendly double standard?
