Gotta cache 'em all, gotta cache 'em all!

@naia @troubleMoney True, but he's claiming that his social media platform doesn't need mods because it will self police...like Wikipedia (doesn't).

I own a Wikipedia scarf, but holy shit is it easy to see that there are issues with trolls and bigots holding articles hostage on there

@naia @troubleMoney Nobody except for Jimbo looks at Wikipedia and thinks, "This is an ideal way for a community to run"

@naia @troubleMoney
The first example that leaps to mind is how the article on Wendy Carlos has a picture of her from when she was in high school, in 1958, years before she became a public figure and when she was still presenting as a boy. The talk page is riddled with arguments over the photo, but because of a small number of people patrolling the article and stonewalling (ha!) its removal, it stays in.

@troubleMoney Wikipedia has a huge problem with transphobes, misogynists, and racists patrolling articles and, for example, keeping trans people's dead names in articles. And he expects the same policies to produce a better social network than FB? He must know how fucked it is.

@troubleMoney Oh no.

I really thought this was just a setup for a pun.

It's real and it's a terrible idea.

"Bonzo Goes to Bitburg" seems pretty quaint now

"What would be a chill beat to study to? Hm...how about I take this Hoagie Carmichael track, combine it with some Gameboy samples, and slip in a little bit of Marge having a serious conversation with Homer?"

I was listening to a podcast about "Best Years of Our Lives," a movie from the 40s about WWII soldiers returning home from the war, and there was this jazzy piano track up front in the mix while a couple discussed getting a divorce. It sounded like chill beats to study to.
