It hits different when they're arresting white women. They signed up to terrorize Black and brown people.

Lots of replies and quotes warning parents to ban their kids from using Roblox. And fair enough.
But don’t forget that pushing the problem onto individual parents was what the CEO advocated for.
The real solution is government regulation. So call your representatives too.

This interview is a snapshot into where tech companies are with online harassment right now.
They know how to end it, but they decided not to spend the money. They’re prioritizing growth (and profit) above all else. And they’re blaming YOU for logging on to the platform they designed to be unsafe.

So a big part of the Project 2025 goals hinges on forcing women out of the workforce. The Heritage Foundation knows that women voters hold the most power in terms of sheer numbers. If they can push you out of the workforce, they can push you out of your voting rights.
Digging into the data of what's taking place with Black women unemployment and this graph is pretty damning.
You can see the EXACT month Black women's unemployment begins to splinter and that what hit us FIRST is now coming for all other women. This is #TheDoubleTax.

YOU COME FOR ME LIKE THIS ON MY OWN FEED?!? *attempts to close cupboard over mountain of rustic pottery*
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Some people whose opinion two years ago was "Israel as a country commits some heinous actions" (true! Legitimate!) have radicalized themselves to full-on Protocols of the Elders of Zion-level antisemitism, and use it to justify abusing anyone they feel is insufficiently radical on the topic!

How 'Roblox' Became a Playground for Virtual Fascists
Thousands of players flocked to a digital world filled with draconian rules, slavery, and anti-Semitism—and tested how far “just a game” can go.

psst, no one is struggling with this - we are trying to create singular things that resonate with a huge audience or resonate hugely with a specific audience. We "struggle" with how tech and VC funding has broken almost every creative economy we have. So thanks but no thanks

I quit the former Twitter two years ago this week, and I am here to tell you that my online life got a lot better for having left it. In two years I've not been tempted to go back, and I haven't felt any penalty in either career or community for not being there. It's nice to be here and not there.

Is it autism or just an overly pedantic inclination when, for example, people call sexist male trolls “incels” and I have the urge to point out that, unfortunately, some of them are indeed married and even have kids?
