> Here it is: Twitter engineers were told today to *print out* their last 30 to 60 days of code, so they could show it to Elon Musk himself.

> Then they were told wait, no, actually, please shred all that code you just printed out. https://twitter.com/CaseyNewton/status/1586127052767318016

And here's a well known Twitter employee posing with said code https://twitter.com/leahculver/status/1586145696163373056

These two do a good job of breaking down why NFTs are bad. They're long, but detailed.

With today's developments at Twitter, we have some new faces at QOTO. If you are one of them, welcome! Please take a minute to familiarise yourself with the [rules](https://qoto.org/about/more#rules).

I'm a fluid dynamicist and a volunteer moderator here. Mostly this just means I spend some time deleting spammers, but I also deal with reports of rules violations. If you're considering reporting another user, please read [this post](https://qoto.org/@khird/108194488065404744) for a description of how users from different instances are subject to different rules.

If you have questions, ask away! We have a genuinely helpful community here and it's likely someone will be able to point you in the right direction.

I am looking for more moderators for mastodon.social. Please e-mail staff@mastodon.social if you are interested, but please only apply if you have consistently been here for a while.

Today, $META fell under $100.

In one year, it's lost 68% of its value—it's down 22% this year.

Analysts are blaming the metaverse, but the problem is more profound than that.

My advice to anybody coming here from Twitter to escape the Musk purchase:

This is not Twitter. Take some time to feel out the vibe, follow the examples of people already on here.
Be mindful of others and use content warnings. Caption your pictures. Don't be a tool.
This is not a walled garden. The site you first sign up to may just be training wheels. You might find another that suits your interests better, no problem. Mastodon.social isn't for everybody and that's fine.

Slowly but surely #Putin is losing control, Russian dissident groups are becoming more active in sabotage of Russia's continued invasion of #Ukraine, such as the #STW group. https://www.newsweek.com/vladimir-putin-dissent-criticism-ukraine-war-1754855

The biennial Living Planet report is out. Cites near 70% loss of all wildlife on this planet since 1970. Two years ago the estimate was at 68%, four years ago, it was 60%.

"Many scientists believe we are living through the sixth mass extinction – the largest loss of life on Earth since the time of the dinosaurs – and that it is being driven by humans."

Primary driver is habitat loss due to agriculture, the vast majority of it animal agriculture and livestock feedcrops.

Also there's the Texas anti-moderation bill that is a serious threat to all large social media sites.

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/09/netchoice-paxton-first-amendment-social-media-content-moderation/671574/

Making moderation illegal is absolutely insane to anyone who understands what kinds of nightmares gets vomited up in to the moderation queues.
