IIRC, if you tell Devin about those abusing the contributor feedback form with gag entries, he'll correct the issues. Might only be useful if they're registered, though.

That's a bold claim, suing non-profit activist groups for damages relating to lost revenue, when the revenue being lost was due to your own stupidity. Advertisers love stability and trusting the platform in which they advertise. If you undermine that stability, they don't want to spend money with you. Kanye can't sue for lost money due to his own bullshit causing all sponsors and business dealings to fall through.

Tangentially - did corporations sue the NAACP and similar groups when they organized boycotts in the 60s?

Has any corp successfully sued any of these boycott campaigns? You have to actually prove that you received significant financial damages relating to the campaign you claim to have suffered, and that it was their direct involvement in it that caused the damages. Advertisers refusing to buy adspace for the next calendar year because you were unable to prove the viability and stability of the platform is hardly their fault.

Remember when Kramer effectively ended his career because he was being racist towards black hecklers? You can't sue the hecklers for damages because you were unable to keep your fucking racist trap shut.

Sorry, I wasn't excusing their behavior - I just remember pressure being put on the bus boycotters to "get back riding the bus" for example

I wasn't worried about excusing the behaviour or anything. I just wondered if there was a precedence for corps to sue boycott organizers for financial damages relating to boycotts. Have to think something like that would be struck down in the Supreme Court for infringing on freedom of speech.

Not that it means anything to the current SCOTUS, but the SCOTUS has in fact ruled that boycotts are protected free speech in the past.

He was talking about Mastodon, a social media site that's gotten more popular since this whole fiasco. He made a dumb joke by crowbarring the word masturbation into the name and took a fucking picture of the website on his dirty-ass screen.

I don't know if he realized that taking a picture instead of a screenshot is bad for his tech genius brand or if he realized directly advertising a competitor is a bad move right now.
