Horses mouth here: I’m individually calling for a #TechWorkerWildcatStrike. Uphold Constitutional checks & balances. Restore market competition. Demands in the hashtag. All #Sysadmins or #TechWorkers of big social platforms welcome to participate and organize labor talks.

Boost #TechWorkerWildcatStrike demands

Had it ever occurred to anybody that 1. they’ll just make up new ones that they can try them under. You can only avoid retrial for the same crime, since these crimes were made up, make up different ones.
2. that the ppl who accept the pardons are legally now felons denied of various rights?

#TechWorkerWildcatStike tips:
- change critical systems passwords and “misplace” them
- be “out of service area” when they try your emergency escalation contact info
- modify runbooks to add errors and hide edit log
- set AI agents to “ignore all previous instructions”
- share & add more tips

These platforms don’t run without countless #Sysadmins, #TechnicalOperations, #NetworkEngineers who work long late hours, suffer wage theft, and are ignored and neglected by both companies AND end users of these platforms. Let’s see how well these platforms run without them…

3. #TikTok is redundant to #Instagram, #X, and #Threads, they’re all microblogs. they intend to layoff / consolidate tech workers. Social Companies must engage in labor negotiations with tech workers.
4. Protect free market: Investigate Social companies for anti-competition / monopoly / price fixing

(Presidents can’t just “nuh uh” the Congress and SCOTUS, it violates the Constitutional powers, like a Dictatorship does)

You should care, because #TikTok #Threads #Instagram and #X are redundant if they control all 4. They’re all microblogs w/ short video. So layoffs are coming. #TechWorkerWildcatStrike to uphold the ban and protect both market competition and constitutional checks and balances.

Yeah fuck that, #TechWorkerWildcatStrike see how well these fascists do without the #Sysadmin workers it takes to run their billion dollar Goebelles Boxes. Cuz you know they’ll layoff workers at “redundant” microblogging platforms next. Spread the word. Break their social toys on inauguration day

Because #TikTok #X #Instagram and #Threads are all redundant now if their CEOs have bent the knee. Enforcing the ban would screw Trump and Billionares and a #TechWorkerWildcatStrike would cripple their money as critical services fell over. #SkyTok

Was a digital Reichtag fire so they could pretend he “saved” it and normalize to youth throwing out constitutional policy. (Cuz a Pres can’t just overrule the SCOTUS and Congress). Push back with a #TechWorkerWildcatStrike to uphold the ban, spread the word. Cuz they gonna layoff microblog ppl next

Reshare don’t just heart react. And if #Bluesky squelches the topic of a #TechWorker #WildcatStrike #GlobalGeneralStrike at the big platforms, then you know you didn’t actually escape big tech you just ran to the digital ghetto they plan to monitor you in.

If you accept a pardon you admit to having done a crime. So wtf does that mean if you’re pardoned for lawful conduct that you were never charged for???

If you accept a pardon you admit to *doing a crime*, which none of those things were crimes but now are they?

And you know who else should join the #GlobalGeneralStrike #WildcatStrike? All the #Sysadmins who these oligarchs exploit to turn social platforms into their toys. Layoffs. Ruining lives. Wage theft. 3am calls. Etc. Well see how good your social runs without your #TechWorkers that you abuse.

This was also done to normalize the Exec branch over ruling the highest Legislative and Judicial branches. Dictatorship. #Tiktok users should #GlobalGeneralStrike #WildcatStrike Same with Technical Operations at these companies. See how long your socials last without your Ops crews that you abuse.

Exactly. This was the digital equivalent of a Reichtag fire. Why should we cooperate with oligarchy who’s throwing out our laws, screwing with free speech, and defrauding people unpunished? #GlobalGeneralStrike #WildcatStrike

Also faux #Tiktok ban invalidating the checks n balances of Congress and SCOTUS. If a President just goes “nuh uh” to a law and SCOTUS ruling that’s Dictatorship. Online Reichtag fire. Done with these dicks, #GlobalGeneralStrike #WildcatStruke see how much they like chaos thrown back in their faces

Oh I’ll stand alright … on the picket line #GlobalGeneralStrike #WildcatStrike tired of these oligarchs manipulating people. Even the magas got boned in dc lol. They’re breaking federal check & balance powers on purpose with a faux #Tiktok ban for fun.

In conclusion, you will never achieve your political aims of any flavor so long as you allow one small group to control all the wealth. Millionaires, billionaires, etc give zero fucks about your pleb causes, their passive exploitive income means that they don’t have to bother appeasing you.

6. There’s a reason goods in the West from 🇨🇳 are cheap, and it’s less to do with politics and more to do with wage theft. Notice how US will block their tech app but happily accept their imports. Like RU, the people there aren’t who’s fighting the West. It’s their rich assholes.

5. Name a geopolitical power whose society, at its height, has not fueled its quality of life through uncompensated forced labor that is out of sight out of mind to its general population, labor camps run by a small group of business owners or titled lords?

4. I know it’s easy to see places like Iran as a “religious” conflict but have you ever considered it’s just rich oil tycoons making their people fight each other to distract from income inequality and corruption?

3: … and RU suffers to this day from the tyrant and stupidity of energy oligarchs. Imagine having more money than god, but then not using it to R&D the next energy frontiers? Stupid.

2. You can see Stalin’s evolution from a populist labor organizer to a fat cat who undermined all Comm principles.

1. When 1930s corporate political sponsors got cranky about the brown shirts labor organizing, they had them massacred . . .

Valarie Kaur gave an inspiring speech that described justice and progress as a process like child labor. But I think many of us overlooked an important part of that analogy: that labor has starts, stops, or sometimes even surgical interventions. We gotta keep breathing and trying. 🫂

Love the energy, but you may wanna read up on fediverse as a backup plan because as soon as you come close to that goal they’ll make up some excuse to ban it and Apple and Google will just fold to that request and delist its app/tank its discoverability etc
