Which is why if you like a tweet from a fascist you can easily keep using the service. But you're in the habit of liking David Duke tweets, you can't

In the spirit of algorithmic transparency I decided to change how @semiphemeral deals with fascists.
If you get blocked, the DM you receive tells you how many fascist tweets you liked with clear instructions on next steps.

FIVE POINT FIVE MILLION from @PleasrDAO. It feels like the whole staff of @FreedomOfPress is watching live, and we've never seen anything like this. This is more than a spectacle -- this is drama. All eyes turn to the dark horse.
The @PleasrDAO juggernaut crashes into the lead with $4,300,000. This is practically the annual budget of @FreedomOfPress, and a real monument to charity. And then immediately overtaken by @xaix2k with 2,021.1337 -- $4.9M! By any measure, tonight is a landmark.

Been trying to think of what to tweet for over a half hour and...there are no words.
Just an incredible day—game changing for @FreedomofPress. I can't wait to share how we're going to use this funding to empower journalists and whistleblowers very soon. foundation.app/Snowden/stay-…

I just set up @semiphemeral with some new parameters. I think it's high time I took back control of my Twitter data.
Shout-out to @micahflee for the free (for anti-fascists) service!

Avoid the vague "officer-involved" for shootings and other cases involving police. Be specific about what happened. If police use the term, ask: How was the officer or officers involved? Who did the shooting? If the information is not available or not provided, spell that out.

I once released a new version of HTTPS Everywhere on a Friday night, and when I got home learned that I completely broke Chrome for a few hundred thousand users with the message "waiting for HTTPS Everywhere" in the status bar

Police forces in America keep murdering people & then using military grade weapons against civilians who protest the murder. This represents the true infringement on civil liberties & free speech in this country while people blather on about cancel culture & wokeness run amok.

I’m definitely in the camp of defending rioting & looting as a legitimate, politically-informed response to state violence. I’ve tweeted on this topic many times & I’m always willing to engage people in good faith discussion of why I hold that position.

If you're a journalist using the moment to write about systemic policing problems but you haven't considered consulting #BlueLeaks -- reconsider.
