If Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic) recommends a book, it is worth reading imo. Here’s what he has to say about Sarah Wynn-Williams's 'Careless People'… “I never would have read Careless People, Sarah Wynn-Williams's tell-all memoir about her years running global policy for Facebook, but then Meta's lawyer tried to get the book suppressed and secured an injunction to prevent her from promoting it…” The book, he notes, is full of spicy and delicious insider anecdotes that are revealing and alarming at the same time. Uh-huh. Sounds like a must read to me. #Books #Bookstodon #Facebook #Expose

Facebook’s C.E.O. Mark Zuckerberg rings the Nasdaq’s opening bell from Facebook’s headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif., on May 18, 2012, the day of the company’s initial public offering, while Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook’s C.O.O., looks on.

I don't carry out #vigilanteJustice like #WhackATroll or mete out punishment to people who "annoy" me and celebrate those with gleeful #toodles.

Instead, I have a #RUDEphilosophy, where the leading acronym R.U.D.E. stand for #Reconcile, #Update, #Disagree, and #Expose:

1. Parties reconcile differences & move on.

2. One party realizes their assumptions were outdated. Update & move on.

3. Parties agree to disagree & move on.

4. One party exposes themselves as a #troll and refuses to move on.

>> Sharing experience is not rude.

You also have a lower level of intelligence than I thought. Read my above post again, and SLOWLY.

Eventually, you will learn that #RUDE in all uppercase is an acronym (see dictionary) for #Reconcile, #Update, #Disagree, #Expose.

>> I’ve noticed you haven’t really shared your experience.

I'm not the one running for office, and I'm not the one who leaned on "experience" to make for a losing argument, and most importantly, I don't owe you anything

You were a senate page. OK, turn the page. We are in a different era.

You came here extolling experience & caution, but have done nothing except drag us all down 🙄
