  • This article does almost seem written to downplay the book’s most damaging claims. They buried the Myanmar story at the end and the detailed account the author gave to the carelessness with which the execs treated the riots and violence. Another anecdote missing from this article is how they are pushing weight loss and beauty ads to teen girls right when they delete a recently taken selfie and how execs responded when this was brought up. Not that that is news exactly as we already know Meta does that sort of thing








  • Here’s an NPR article I found on one of the major opposition parties that is succeeding this year.

    … ‘its charismatic, Harvard University-educated candidate for prime minister told NPR: “Demilitarize, demonopolize and decentralize — that’s how you democratize Thailand. That’s the endgame,”’ … … In the past two decades, [the establishment] has staged two coups while Thailand’s courts have brought down three opposition prime ministers and dissolved several opposition parties. … “You have to imagine a lot of Thais, powerful Thais, elites, they have a lot of stakes in the system that were set up over the last seven decades … they bought into the system. And Move Forward is a direct challenge.”


  • Yes, this is true for subscribers. There are websites you can find that will show you total subscribers for a community if you are curious.

    I’m pretty sure this can’t be true for upvotes though. I regularly see posts that have more upvotes than there are accounts on my local instance.

    The only reason I ask is because I’ve noticed the subscriber counts on some communities seem very low vs. the amount of engagement.

    This could also happen because a lot of people are browsing All, and not subscribing.
