Who owns The Onion? What to know after satire publication buys Alex Jones' Infowars

The current owner and chairman of The Onion is Jeff Lawson, with Ben Collins listed as chief executive officer, according to the publication's website.

However, The Onion's parent company is Global Tetrahedron, where Bryce P. Tetraeder is CEO.

Collins should GTFO of Bluesky, because it is a Nazi bar, about as much as 𝕏itter is.

And Xitter is full of porn and neoliberal, Democratic party-aligned pundits, but doesn’t negate the fact that it’s a Nazi bar.

Not any more. Didn't they ban porn? Haha

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

No. Is that a recent development? The Verge in June: X has new rules that officially allow porn now

and go where exactly? It's not as if fedi is any less fascist, racist etc. Quite the opposite in fact.

If you’re running into fascists and racists, then maybe you’re hanging out in the wrong parts of the fediverse.

What I'm saying is that it's no less a white supremacist network than anywhere else and I'm on an instance that has a zero tolerance policy for it. Yet people still show who they are even on 'good' instances that they don't (yet) block all too often, even and especially admins.
