Hard no.

Glad I don't use gmail.

A President *JFK) quite literally championed his presence on Chuck Yeager's team

The President sent people to check on him and make sure he was doing okay while he was with Chuck Yeager's team.

YET he still suffered racism. And Yeager himself set the example that the racism was okay.

Within just days of the President's assassination, this eminently qualified, intelligent, kind man was booted out of the program.

Do not tell me DEI isn't absolutely essential.

Oof. That's a poor assumption.

I don't want to see Twitter in my feed because I don't want to (even incidentally) support Twitter's UNETHICAL owner.

Same for Zuck.I left FB long ago because of his UNETHICAL behavior.

Aside from Zuck's willingness to enable genocide--cuz' profit, he tried to sell depressed kids' info to advertisers--cuz' profit. Kids. FFS.

I whole a lot of people care more about the ethics than the "interoperability."

@feditips

Yep. I have no problem at all with what you posted 🤟

Just wanted to add an extra tip (from experience) for the more cautious folks ... like me.

@feditips

A bit of extra advice from someone who researched fake nets (including bots) for years ... usually the good/helpful bots will have the bot creator identified in the account's bio. (Sometimes with links to their other accounts/work.)
