Dies ist vorerst unser letzter Post auf X und wir stellen den Betrieb dieses Kanals ab sofort ein. Aus unserer Sicht macht die zunehmende Verrohung der Plattform einen konstruktiven öffentlichen Dialog nicht mehr möglich. Sie erreichen die SZ weiterhin auf instagram.com/sz/, @sueddeutsche" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tiktok.com/@sueddeutsche, linkedin.com/company/s%C3%B… und whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va…. Wir beobachten die Entwicklung weiterhin und behalten uns vor, diese Entscheidung bei veränderten Umständen zu überdenken.

Bei Tiktok kann man stundenlang Videos anstarren, ohne irgendwas zu tun – die EU-Kommission will die Plattform jetzt zu Änderungen zwingen. trib.al/owCDzYT

@IgorMatviyets @eckilepsie Niemand zwingt dich seine Posts zu liken oder auch nur zu sehen. Wissen die meisten Menschen einfach nicht wie man X nutzt, insbesondere wie man Einfluss auf den Algorithmus nehmen kann?

@eckilepsie Naja. Du hast zwar Recht mit deiner Beobachtung aber der Eigentümer dieses Mediums ist in der gleichen Zeit noch nationalistischer/rassistischer geworden. Und das war nun Mal von Beginn an das Problem

This is what I worry Europe will get negatively polarized into: an ideology taking pride in a neat, sanitized online environment free of evil corporate and fascist pathogens.
I hope European govs do not go this way, and instead take a Pirate Party approach of user empowerment.
First, what's wrong with the tweet I'm quoting:
The idea that there should be "no space" for something you dislike is fundamentally a totalitarian and anti-pluralistic impulse. It's incompatible with being in an environment that you do not fully control.
This is especially true for categories that are subjective and controversial, because you end up trying to fully remove things you think are pathogens, when other people have good faith disagreements, and because you give yourself the maximalist goal of not even giving them breathing room, you create conflict and end up building the machinery of technocratic authoritarianism to impose your victory in the conflict.
So sorry, if you want to be a free society, you have to bite the bullet that some people, somewhere, will be selling things that you consider dangerous and saying things you consider disinformation and vicious lies.
What is the goal to shoot for?
You want to create an environment where those things don't dominate. This is the problem with twitter today: not that it's a safe space where 1000 people talk to each other in a corner about how heritage americans are the master race and putin is good or whatever, but that that crap gets shoved in our face on a mass scale, and the algorithms actively favor it.
The right metaphor is not castles and walls, but biological - think, why European forests don't have tropical lizards.
Having incentives for social media platforms to have less of those things instead of more is fundamentally reasonable, @audreyt has talked about how Taiwan has done something similar.
You also want to do this in a way where it's clear what the underlying principle is, so it's not a vehicle for imposing arbitrary and frequently changing expert-consensus agendas.
You also want to empower users, rather than working against them. People want to see and buy good things instead of bad things. Often the problem is that competition is too difficult in the current market. I actually supported the USB-C standardization mandate; it created more interoperability and thus improved competition and convenience. I would support incentivizing social platforms to be more open, and to be more transparent (eg. my proposal to require algorithms to be continuously published with a 1-2 year delay, with zk-proofs to ensure that the algorithm being used in real time exactly equals the one that gets published later)
Being able to better identify what messages are coming from what communities is also good, though I don't support the direction of banning anonymity of individual posters, rather I would want to see more macro-scale analytics, eg. seeing what communities are most strongly saying and amplifying content that semantically matches a particular idea; this can be done in privacy-preserving ways.
There is a real opportunity to reaffirm freedom of speech in a unique and different way, that emphasizes pluralism and pushes against unbalanced attempts to manipulate the discourse by individual powerful actors. We want to do this, not go down the dark path of having something that claims to support fundamental rights but actually is not trusted by anyone to be anything other than the fundamental right to follow the footsteps of a few technocratic experts.

@crypto_condom @solana @HyperliquidX @blockworks Hyperliquid is leading perps
Solana is leading spot
English

This is absolutely false. @solana isnt leading the DEX infrastructure. @HyperliquidX is. In fact, $SOL's network revenue, including dex revenue, has actually declined quarter over quarter per @blockworks
In fact, in Q3, $HYPE generated more quarterly revenue ($285m) than the entire $SOL chain ($222.9m)

[ZachXBT says:]
The creditors were paid from crypto prices at the time of the FTX Nov 2022 bankruptcy and not at current prices which caused users to take massive losses if they held assets like SOL or BTC.
Illiquid investments worth more today are just a coincidence.
You clearly have no learned from your time spent in prison thus far and repeat the same misinformation like before

@RAILGUN_Project It’s not working for me for 85% of the time, have to try a couple of Times until Gas Price estimation works for a single time and then hopefully the unshield works. To be honest, haven‘t had another similiar Bad UX in a long time. Would be great if you can make it more reliable.
English

RAILGUN goes beyond simple shields and unshields.
It enables on-chain, self-custodial, and private:
- Token transfers
- DEX swaps
- Vault deposits
- Liquidity provision
The scope of on-chain actions RAILGUN privatizes will also be expanding soon:

L2s are faster, cheaper, more customizable
L1s are encumbered by consensus (if they actually want to be decentralize)
L2s can build on Ethereum’s world class infrastructure and focus on optimizing execution
“Being an L1 is a bug, not a feature.”
Vladimir Novakovski@vnovakovski
@chang_defi Being an L1 is a bug, not a feature. An L1 is just an Ethereum L2 without any of the security and verifiability parts. Your conclusion may be correct but in the opposite direction.

live view of ETH maxis trying to figure out how to praise Vitalik’s post about how Ethereum needs DeFi revenue to sustain the value of ETH, after they spent the last year arguing REV is stupid and blockchains don’t need revenue bc ETH is money

Low-risk defi can be for Ethereum what search was for Google vitalik.eth.limo/general/2025/0…

@EJtheCray @0xcyp Bla blubs, thats an opinion. It’s a Security Feature, maybe sometime in the Future you will get it
English

@ledaveissafe @0xcyp 45 days of unstaking isn’t a security feature
It exploits the broken mechanism
The blobs are already bottlenecking
Who wants complicated.
Mainstream doesn’t
When Layer 3’s is the real question

it's like a city bragging to have the largest graveyard
