#ChrisLicht’s departure marks the failure of his mandate — delivered from his corporate overlords, including #WarnerBrosDiscovery CEO #DavidZaslav — to recalibrate the network’s political sensibility toward the center. To the extent that anyone ever understood what that meant for actual #CNN broadcasts, it’s now clear that it meant #sanitizing the screen in deference to the #Republican front-runner.

A disaster, in other words.

And you should return the favor by never posting unsanitized Twitter links to the #Fediverse either 🙂

I recommend you do a search for "IndyWeb POSSE" program. Which explains the philosophy behind only posting Fediverse links into the deprecated legacy silos, and never posting unsanitized links from places there like twitter into the Fediverse.

Basically, you do a disservice posting links in the Fediverse that lead people to the very monolithic, privacy disrespecting silos that they've already left behind.

Instead, if you even bother to use those deprecated legacy silo systems, post links bringing the people there at places like twitter to content that exists here in the Fediverse, thereby providing incentives to create accounts on Fediverse platforms like #Friendica, #FunkWhale, #MicroPub, #Mitra, #PeerTube, #Pixelfed, #Pleroma, #Soapbox, #Quanta, Etc., Thereby joining the Fediverse 👍

If you find that you really must post a link leading to one of the deprecated silos, then please consider #sanitizing such links. i.e., in the case of Twitter, you can use the very popular #Nitter by just replacing the "twitter .com" with "nitter .net" in the URL.

If you're on #Android, #Fedilab does this "automagically" for you if you have safe posting enabled.

If you're on desktop, there's a whole list of similar sanitation tools you can use for #Reddit, for example, by changing the domain in the URL to #Teddit .net and similar tools for #InstaSPAM, #Quora, and many others too. For #YouTube, you can use #Invidious.

A long list of these privacy protecting utilities is provided at:

And you can install Fedilab from F-Droid too:

https://Fedilab.App

You can also install the #UntrackMe app at F-Droid for generating safe links when not posting to the Fediverse - desks details are at three Fedilab website above.

I hope that helps!
