@kerosene ngl I don't have any issue with people obtaining GF or marriage. It's more just man I hope you don't end up the next crowder or get #metoo'd into the shadowrealm. The courts are always rigged against men.

That or when you see a relatively cool dude spiral into the abyss due to what pussy/blowjobs does to a man.

@WilhelmIII @GolfCartLady @AsukaNeko @scenesbycolleen #MeToo! I think it still may be the most fun and enjoyable job I ever had in my life. It only ever felt like a real job when I had to deal with the retards who were too stoned out of their mind to even be alive, let alone clock in at 'work.' Plus you wear the red and black, then gray and black when you're the Boss, because Pizza Hut is a crypto National Socialist pizza distributor. Like Dr. Oetker.

@Azur_Fenix that type of homeless chick is the kind that temporarily ran into a bad spot, they usually land on their feet in a few months.

She MAY shack up with you out of desperation, but she's not interested in what you're selling and if you try anything with her she's calling the cops. In the age of #MeToo you do not wanna be in that situation.

@Ehay2k No, the *reason* people followed #MeToo is that it went viral thanks to recommendation algorithms. People didn't intuit the existence of the hashtag, type it into the search tool, and then start following it.

Further, the search tool *also* ranked the messages, because spammers *routinely* add trending tags to spams and scams. Without ranking, a search for any popular tag would be ten million spams.

The thing about #metoo is that it was a hashtag that people actively followed. I'm fine with that. My issue is with the algorithms - if publishers promote something to drive engagement, then they are responsible for ensuring that the content isn't defamatory.
We could go even further and say they shouldnt promote false content that isn't ID'd as parody - flat earth, fake health info, etc. But that's hard to do. So, why not just ban the use of algorithms to promote content?

@merc How about losing Black Lives Matter, #MeToo, and footage of atrocities in Gaza, all of which would attract threats from authoritarians, criminals, and monsters, whom large platforms would choose not to fight, and whom smaller, federated services could not afford to fight/

@Ehay2k What about #MeToo? Should posts from obscure account accusing Harvey Weinstein of raping them have been downranked by services, unless their moderators were personally able to verify them?

What about viral videos of cops beating the shit out of Black drivers they pulled over? These cops already assert irreparable reputational harm from these - what webhost would permit them if they could be named to civil suits?
