I feel like we have a holistic holier than thou approach to NIL rather than cut throat ruthless. Seems we are going the University of Texas way with our approach. You see it in the fans reactions across various Texas boards “this isn’t what NIL was supposed to be” and similar sayings.
It wasn’t and we lead by far in legitimate nil

Is it nefarious or just a way to moderate? (I know you can't answer for Twitter, just curious in general)
Delisting is a way to moderate much like "moderator approval" on surly (which we haven't used since the shadow banning due to politics in the DT spike at the start of covid)
You can still interact with the site and you see your posts, but no one else does because they are actually "hidden" until a mod approves them, but the approval queue sometimes (cough, always, cough) gets ignored due to mods being busy or just not caring.
So I believe Twitter when they say they don't shadowban accounts, but they probably do put accounts on approval moderated delisting and just never end up approving shit so it is basically a shadowban.

He’s building a new Cape Canaveral and also turning out more EVs than anyone on the planet, but the federal government is gonna go after him hard? Cmon.
Theyll attempt to neuter Twitter via regulation, that’s about it.
To be fair he won't be turning out more EVs for very long. Ford has already ramped in far less time.

He posts shit like a Reddit meme edgelord extraordinaire. I don’t really care all that much, but he needs to be careful as he already has the SEC on him for making false statements.
He's immune to the SEC. The fine they made him pay ended up making him over a billion dollars last time they slapped him non the wrist.

Way to play the race card for no reason. I don’t see why it should matter who reads the board or who played here or not. At all.
There was a thread for speculation and it wasn't somewhere that would make it uncomfortable. So yeah you are just straight wrong here. There's threads with all kinds of death news where the first comments are jokes, what site do you think you are at?

Isn't that exactly how central heat/air works? It's either on or off. Turning your thermostat to 60 doesn't make the air blow any colder, nor does turning it to 90 make your heat blow any hotter.
Incorrect. The new heat pumps with electronic expansion valves have as little as 12 steps and as many as 1000 for power consumption.

We already know that unmoderated social media quickly becomes a complete shit show due to human nature. If Musk really follows through on his "100 percent free speech" nonsense it'll become so toxic most people with any legitimate knowledge will bail quickly. Will be interesting to see.
Honestly to make it better remove the ability to like or dislike posts, remove the ability to retweet anything, and remove the ability to tag people. Then the incentive to be competitive and petty on a wide scale is removed and it can go back to being a global news and information sharing hub like the early days before most of those things were added around 2011 or so
This is exactly true, and has always been the identity of the internet. See 4chan.

This is who we are. Everyone wants to fight it and try to pretend like it's different, but this is who America is. The good news is our stupid people are slightly less stupid than the next country's stupid people.

Came here to post mostly this. Twitter is absolutely where elites— politicians, academics, journalists, and so on— go to talk to each other, fight, and shout. The Economist also has a pretty damn small readership, but it’s maybe the most influential publication in the world.
Anyway, Twitter under Musk will absolutely censor/block/restrict some content it’s just a question of where Musk himself wants to draw the line. He’s an interesting personality but I am more fascinated with who tends to become a Musk Stan than I am the man himself.
I don't think it will, I think ignore functions and stuff will just improve so you don't get randomly blasted by crazy shit you don't want to see.
A lot of what is wrong with social media is it is geared to keep people in the app as much as possible looking at as many posts as possible with as little effort as possible.

Making season predictions based on one glorified/televised practice?
Never change, Surly.
If you couldn’t see the fundamentals problems with these guys then idk what to tell you. The team lacks depth at positions that are filled with good/elite players and the ones that don’t are JAG who gives a fuck deep. It was bad. The defense looks very very bad. The offense with 1 or 2 injuries is absolute dogshit.

And that's relevant only if the wannabe communist plans on being a leader of a communist country. Otherwise he's just another cog in their poorly designed wheel, and those so called communist countries they're not really communist, they're just mafia orgs.
The true success rate, based on a per capita ratio would be .000000000000000000000000001%/2
That is exactly what trump is doing wtf?
Русский корабль - иди нахуй
in Daily Texan
I am starting to wonder if we went first strike and max deterrence if Russia would even land more than a handful of warheads. Something I never want to find out, but I’m starting to think the level of ineptitude could lead to them not actually being able to launch if we went first and tried to stop them from launching.
